In most gardens with any pretensions to neat- Thess, some sort of edging ts employed to mark the boundary lines of waiks, or to distinguish the flower plots. In old-fashioned gardens it 1s €ften nothing more than a narrow plece of board supported by stout square pegs; but in Most tns'auces box-edying is employed.

Long among them, have petitioned Congress to add the statue of Law to the nearly completed monument to the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth, Mass. Tha Pilgtim soctety has already expended about $150,000 on the monu- | ments there,—one a small granite canopy on | the Rock Itself, the other a mor> Imposing structure on high ground tn the rear of Ply- mouth village. The runds for this purpose have been raised partly by private subscription from more than 13,000 subseribers ail over the country, and partly by appropriations from the states of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Tue design of the monument is by the late Hummatt Billings, and consistsof an octagonal pedestal forty-five feet high, on which stands a colossal Statue of Falth, thirty-six feet hich. Around the base are four figures, each fifteen feet bizi, emblematic of Morality, Law, Education and Liberty. Historical panels in alto-relief and tabletS for inscriptions are also provided for. ‘The state of Massachusetts has furnished the figure of Morality, and Congress 1s now asked by members of the bar to add that of Law (or Justice.) ‘he germ of our state was contained in ‘That the compact signed on board the May-Flower has always been conceded by writers on our political history. The Virginia colonists found- ed representative government on these western shores, the Massachusetts, democratic; and it Was more to found an English colony tree from the restraints of the English government that led the Pilgrims to leave Holland and come to America than to secure freedom of conselence. The latter they had already obtained in Hol- land, but staying there they and their progeny wenld become Dutch, whereas by removing to America they would still remain Engtish. Ir was from motives of partiotism rather than of religion that they came here. ‘The Puritans, however, came direct from Eng- land later, and were driven thence because of ibeir differences with the government in mat- ters partly religious and partly political. ‘The dispute which existed on these points is thus cone! church and estate—such government as should not only permit him, but also compel other men to walk in the right way,” f.e., Ais way. Fatling to get other men—that is, the government to Waik In his way at that, time. (though he did compel it to, measurably, afterwards), he came to America. He blished the Puritan colony of Massachusetts bay by the ald of the Pilgrim colony of Plymouth. The differ- ences between the two sects, which in England had been sharp, were softened by distance from the mother country and by common dangers and privations. Still the same characteristics remained. The Puritans were as intolerant as King James himself, while the Pilgrim was liberal like the Quaker. The Puritan was a combatant; he belonged to the church militant. ‘The Pilgrim sought separation rather than war- fare; he left the established church voluntarily, rather than quarrel with {t. Side by side, for Inore than sixty years, the two colonies grew and waxed strong,notwithstanding thelr marked divergences; and when the Puritans drove out Koger Williams,the Pilgrims took him in,though with an eye to good fellowship with’ Salem. Plymouth kindly asked the fugitive to move over the river outside their borders, still be- friending him the while. This he willingly did, and founded the colony of Rhode Island.” Rell: gious toleration was a cardinal principle with the Pilgrim fathers, they being a long way in advance of thetr age In this respect. The building of 2 monument to the founders of the republic, whether at Plymouth Kock or at Jamestown, {s a most commendable object; and whether we be descendants of the Pil- gris, the Puritans, the Cavaliers, the Hugue- Lots, Or of none of them, we cannot view it with Indifference. No Ameriean citizen can contemplate the history of the Pligrims or the Puritans without emotion. He may read Ma- cauley’s well-known indictment of ‘the latter, believing it more than half true, yet, even If he be but slightly informed of their peculfarities, he will say with Hon. A. H. Stephens, that “it exhibits the darker side only of this wonderful people, and shows nothing of the many fine and lender traits gs well as high herote virtues for which they are equally distinguished.” He will understand if he thoroughly contemplates the moving springs of action of these two bodies which gave so much to America, that in the language of another, “No higher stake fs played for than the life of a body politic; nor can the Most heroic man be moved by any nobler Im- pulse than the sense of patriotic and religious obligation.” The appropriateness of the request to Congress to place the Siatue of Lawon the base or the Monument must be at once conceded. Rather, since Lie organic law of the land sprung from the “compact” made on the May Flower, the lon Should covet the privilege of doing’ this tous ACt as a favor Lo itself, Instead of a mm conferred. When, too, the whole struc- ture Is completed, or even before, another struc- ture should be begun Congress aiding, at Jamestown, in Virginia, to mark the rise of that other elementin our government equally po- tent which, with the New England, has made us tue great nation we are. The late Chief dustice Chase ab the nb 3 of the corner stone of the Plymouth Monument puts tits idea Into the folowing hippy lanzuage: And then when that ts accompitsued (the Piy. mouth monument) I will tell you what I shoud like to see—the sons and daughters of New Eng- land joining hands with their brothers of Vi - ginia to build another monument at Jamestown to commemorate the setilement there, thus proving to them if we do love lloorty and mean to matntain {t; yet we are all brethrea of a common Union, and mean to matntatn ‘Liberty and Union, one and inseparable, now and for- ever.” CoswoPouiTan, “God Knows !?

The king and bis nobles generally made their Journeys on horseback, but they also posse-s:d carriages. Nothing gives a better Idea vu: the rude, cumbrous luxury which was at that time the boast of civil life than the structure of these heavy mac'\ines. The best of them had four Wheels, and three or four horses, harnessed in single file; one of them was ridden by a postil- fon armed with a whip with a short han- dle and several thongs. Soild beams rested on the axles, and a truck with around top like a tunnel was placed upor this me; the unsightly eltect of the whole can be imagined, although there was ex- treme elegance in details. The wheel were overlaid with ornament, and the | Spokes, as they approached the outer rim, took the iorm of a pointed arch; the wooden sides of the carriage were painted’ and gilded, and the inside was hung with the beautiful tapestry so common tn that age. The seats were covered with embroidei ‘ushions, on which it was possible to take a half-reelining posture; there were pillows in the angles, as if to provoke sleep, and square windows, hung with silken curtulns, pierced the sides of the carr: it Was Uhus that noble ladies traveled, their slen- der forms encased in tight dresses which de- fined all the movements of the body. The you: noble, as closely confined in his jipon, regard ed his companion with a complacent air, and if oft goo aoe 3 he laid bare his heart to her in the long. involved purases we find in the romance literature.

Twice in my experience a3 a miner in Cali- fornia have I been bound tn by impassable bar- riers of snow on the foot-hilis of the Sterra Ne- yada. The first time I hada single compan- ion. We had been mining in an tsolated but rich guich where we had constructed a rude cabin. We knew atthat time nothing of the great snow-storms of the Sterra, so we had | I neglected to lay in provisions or fuel, and up | to this time had procured wood from the scat- tering pine trees on the mountain sides, but on rising one moraing we found at least two feet of snow fallen. It continued all day long, and when we rose next morning we found our one litte window darkened. We managed to make a hole through a corner of the roof ofour cabin, | when down came a wagon load of snow and in came a flood of ight. We succeeded In shovel- ing away the snow from the roof and out of our cabin, but the snow kept on coming down all day, and on the arrival of the next @ay we were again in darkness, and again we tolled for | light. During this day the storm abated, but the snow had fallen to a depth of more than 19 feet, and we were prisoners. Here for three weary weeks we were com- pelied to stay. We had burned up every scrap of furniture in our cabin except the long boards on the bottom of our bunks. Even the chinking and clapboards on the inside of our cabin, and the handles of our shovels and tools were consumed. Our meat had been gone more than a week, and we had eaten all our beans and were entirely destitute. It had snowed every day a little, soas to keep the show soft ontop, and it was impossible to Waik through it, or in any way change our lo- cation or situation. We couid see nothing before us_but death, either from cold or starvation. Each looked upon the other with suspicion; each thought the other would take his life if he could with- out losing his own. This was our horrible condition, when suddenly the hole above our heads was darkened, and we heard a voice say, “Ts there anybody down there?” A shout of Joy and surprise was the response. . “Who are you, and how did you get here? we asked. “Tam ‘Snow-shoe Thompson.’ I came here on snow-shoes,” he answered. “Help us out, we are starving.” In another minute Thompson was in our midst. He gave us some cheese and crackers, which we eagerly devoured. He asked us if we had any tools out of which he could make for us each a pair of snow-shoes. We had burned the handles of all our tools, except a Ww and a drawing-knife. He took these, however, and out of the long boards which composed the bottom of our bunk soon shaped for us each a pair of snow-shoes. They were about twelve feet long and four inches wide, shaped so as to turn up at the front end, some- what like a sleigh-runner; pieces of leather were tacked across the center tuto which the traveler's feet are slipped. After you learn how to travel with these, you find that the process ts similar to skating. To the best of my recollection, at my first es- Say I felt much as I should suppose a toad would feel on stilts. series of evolu- tions that would pwvzle a professional acrobat, I got fairly under way. I can give you no idea of the exhilaration produced by a wild, frenzied rush through the air, asit were, upon snow- shoes. I starled down a slight slope of the mountain with no ambition to outrun the wind, or “Professor Snow-shoes” either I can assure you. Itwas glorious, so I thought, as I sailed along at moderate speed, with no effort except to try to guide the machine with the aid of a long. slim pole which “Snow-Shoes” had loaned me, but when I commenced going down a steep side of the mountain and shot forward lke an arrow from the strong bow of an archer, it was no longer so glorious. The velocity with which I traveled was marvelous. J Was unable to ck arly distinguish objects which I passed. An occasional pine tree shot past me with a zip like a cannon ball and made my brain whirl. Down T went, faster and faster. Ishot across a table-land or level space at a speed somewhat abated, then I started up a slope of the mount- ain, then T came to a steep Place and then my snow-shoes stopped, but I went on head fore- most into a snow-bank, so deep that my feet seemed to be the only part of my person I was able to move. Indeed, J was so deeply buried in the snow that only my feet stuck out. I couldn't breathe or move, so tight was I wedged in. Texerted every effort. but it was utterly in vain, and I realized that death would ensue ina very few moments. I tried to call for help, but could not produce a sound. When all hope had vanished, and I felt my brain reeling, seme one began to tug at my feet and in ano- ther moment I was brought to light again. Old *'Snow-shoes” had followed me and got to me justin time tosave my life for the second time. One hour later we were all safe in the camp. The reasonable Ant. [‘*A Tramp Abroad,” by Mark Twain.) Now and then, while we rested, we watched the iaborious ant at his work. I found nothing new in him—certainly nothing to change my oj inion of him. It seems to me that in the mat- Ler Of intellect the ant must bea strangely over- rated bird. During many summers now I have watched him, when J ought tohave been in bet- ter business, and I have not yet come across a living ant that seemed to have any more sense than a dead one. _I refer to the ordinary ant, of course, I 1 ave had no experlence of those won- dettul Swiss and African ones which vote, keep drilled armies, hold slaves, and dispute about religion. Those particular ants may be all that the Daturalist paints them, but I am persuaded tbat the average ant isasham, I admit his in- dustry, of course; he is the hardest-working creature ip the world—when anybody 1s look- tug—but his leather-headedness is the point 1 make against him.

His home may be Rad Ubree feet away; no matter, he can’t Bnd it. die makes his capture, as I have sald; itis geuerally something which can be of no sort of use to himself or anybody else; it is usually seven times bigger than It ought to be; he hunts out the awkwardest place to take hold of it; he lifts it bodily up in the air by main force, and starts—not toward home, but in the opposite direction; not calmly and wisely, but with a frantic haste which 1s wasteful of hig strength; he fetches up against a pebble, and Instead ot | {he dust Blew so f goipg around {t, he climbed over it backwards, aragging his booty after him, tumbles down the other side, jumps up in a p.ssion, kicks the dust off his clothes, moistens his hands, grabs his property viciously, yanks 1t this way, then that, shoves It ahead of him a moment, turns tall and lugs it after him anotuer moment, gets maddcr and madder, then presently hoists it into the alr and goes tearing away in an en- Urely new direction; comes to a weed; it never | occurs to him to go around it. No; he must ciimb it, and he does climb it, Grageal his: worthless property to the top—which as bright a thing to do as it would be for me to carry a sack of flour from peeinery to Parls by Way of Strasburg steeple; when he gets up Uhere he finds that that is not the place, takes a cursory glance at the scenery, and either climbs down again or tumbles down, and starts off once more—as usual, In a new d'rection. At the end of half an hour he fetches up within six inches of the place he started from, and lays his burden down. Meantime he has been over all the ground for two. yards arouna, and climbed ail the weeds and pebbles he came across. Now he wipes the sweat from his brow, ‘strokes his limbs, and then marches aimlessly off, in as violent a hurry as ever. He traverses a deal of zig-zag country, and by-and-by stumbles on his same booty again. THe does not remember to have ever seen it before; he looks around to see which fs not the way home, grabs his bundle and starts. He goes through the same adventures he had before, finally stops to rest, and a friend comes alo: Evidently the fiend remarks that a last year’s grasshopper leg 1s a very noble acquisition, and inquires where he got it. Evidently the proprietor does not remember exactly where he did get it, but Uninks he got it “around here somewhere.” Evidently the friend contracts to help him frepne it home. Then, with a judgment pecu- Marly antic (pun not intentional), they take hold of opposite ends of that grasshopper leg and begin to tug with all their might in opposite di- rections. Presently they take a rest, and confer together. They decide that something is bisa they can’t make out what. Then they go at it again, just as before, Same result.

They lock themselves er and chew each other’s jaws for a while; then they roll and tumble on ‘the ground till one loses a horn or a leg and has to haul off for repairs. They make up and go to work again in the same old insane way, but the crippled ant is at a disadvantage; tug as he may, the other one drags off the booty and him at the end of it. Instead of giving up, he hangson and gets shins bruised st pha obstruction that comes in the way.
