 It is not generally known that 51n gpsies liv ein the rock caves in one quar- ter of Grenada and visit to these strange yet fascinating people is well worth the while.
 It is not for me to speak of the glories of the A1hambra. My readers are too familiar with the pages of Irving and Prescott and those of other writers who in song and story have essayed a deserin- ton to teach the eye it's wonders put neither written page nor painted canvas can fashion for the mind true concep- ton of this unrivalled Valhalla of the Arab kings No matter how familiar the visitor may be with such authors, his first exclamation upon viewing the AL hambra is the half has never been told.
 Again and again have writers giVep birth to expression laden with the same purity of thought and the sublimed with the same burden of song and void indeed would be my hopes if shoul dexpect to add one tinge Of shading to the match less productions of their pencillings ar chisel one line of beauty to the faultless contour of their carvings All that can do Is to speak of my impressions as l wandered through court and hall, under arcade and arch, past slender column and trembling tracery.

Who was shef Prescott dsd no; know and IrN-- ing fell Into sn eNrer In attempting to ascertain her identity U is this mys- tery that ftnss It's glamour over her apartments, All that Is lsft ef her Is name. for abe has no memory and upon that name rests the spell
 She must have been psa.ssssati and she ought to have been happy. for as birds Tn giided cages know Nothfng of the frss- dom and Ifs that lie Seyoad golden hass they are sSpsosae so exenapsify the truth Of the legend that what the eye does not see the heart tees net lenS for,
