century. Immediately outside the walls, upon some irregular ground being examin- ed, it was found to contain numerous ske- letons lying in all directions, and emtombed possibly as on the field of battle. There had

evideotly been a great struggle at this spot,

which was immediately beneath a water- tower guarding a ford across the Severn, Here there is every reason to believe Mother Karth has preserved to us, together with many implements of battle, the veritable in- vading Picts themselves, as the configuratiea of the skulls was entirely different from those found within the city itself.

Here is a culminating point in the past history of Britain. Sealed and preserved to the present time—put away, as it were, under the verdant turf, and the feet of beasts, and the golden crops to be exhumed by the chance stroke of the labourer’s pick. There are countless such treasure troves as these, however, yet to be discovered. The Danes have left innumerable marks of their inva- sion of the island; not so very long ago, the skin of one of these sea-kings was to be seen nailed to the door of the Jerusalem Cham- ber, Westminster Abbey; and on some of the doors of the old Livcolnshire parish churches may yet be witnessed the epider- mis cf captured and flayed Vikings of old.

rious eyes of a nation that in their day had not even begun its move westward, borve on the surges of the great Caucasian wave. Uf all the remnants handed down to us by intiquity, the most wonderfully preserved are articles of pottery, ylass, and gold; the first are almost absolutely indestructible, and gold, in consequence of its unoxidizable na- ture, is almost as everlasting. In the [talian Court, for instance, we al! of us saw the old Etruscan jewellery, necklaces, and bracelets, as pertect as the day they heaved upon white bosoms, or cla-ped the idelicate wrists of maidens of a race about whom history i'self is silent.

Io our own \:useum again, the Etruscan vases, as perfect as when they came from the hands of the artist, are to be seen by the haudred. The mind can scarcely be- lieve that these precious works were made iong before the appearance of Christ upon earth, They look rather, in their modern glass cases, like the stock in trade of Min- ‘ton’s shop, especially the Greek rhytons, or lniuking bores, terminating in an @nimal’s j head, one of which, shaped like a mule, is probably oue of the most delicately designed jand the most perfectly preserved work of jart of ics kind in existenee,

Pliny the younger, in his account of | the catastrophe, tells us that the inhabitants jpn with pillows bound over their heads, |in order to protect themselves against the shower of stones that poured upon them. | Tuis poor girl wandering in the total dark- | ness of that day, having taken the like pre- |cau'ion, must have been suffveated as she | tried to escape, The other personage was a tall man lying at full length. The plas- ter had taken, with the utmost minuteneas, the form, the folds of his garment, his torn sandals, and his beard and hair. The fa- mily appear to have remained within the shelter of the house, hoping that the dread- ful fiery tempest would soon cease. I[n this hope they remained until the fine dust, which penetrated everywhere and complete- ly filled the interior of the house, sufocated them. The dust continued to fall, however. and completely buried them, hardening in the course of ages into a perfect mould, the impress of which the Italian savant took two / thousand years after it was made, and pre-| sented the world with such a pusthumous group as it had never seen before.

But may we not go back ages and ages, and yet fiod Mother Earth preserving for us the story of the past ? was she not busy in mak-~ ‘ng the moulds, and taking off the delicate impressions of a chain of life that was not destined to reach to the period of man’s ap- pearance cn this globe? The many pages of the great stone book preserved ia the geological department of the Museum come to our recollection as we write. What tex- ture 80 delicate or perishable, the iapres- sion of which she has not preserved to us by means of soft mud which afterwards gradually hardened into sione? The scales of fishes, the forms of the softest insects, as well as the skeletons of the most tremend us creatures that crawled, and swam, and walked the splashy earth, ere yet it was fit fur the foot of man, are to be found in this museum, and may be dug out any day fiom the lias of the Weald or Kent. Nay, the earth and the waters are yielding up the relics of man himself of the stone period, which it is estimated must have beer at least teu or twelve thousand years ago. On the banks of many of the existing Swies lakes have been found the indications of the pile- built habitations of these ancient people. Like many of the South American races at the present day, they built over the water, and the soft mad of the lakes has preserved

BURIED HISTORY.

What are the secrets that remsin in the Such was

All thiags earthly must pass uway, we kuow; but the mind is staggered us ii contemplates the relies still left to us of great empires of which history gives us }but a hazy dream. Year by year Karih, the great tom of ail animate and inanimate things, is casting up fragments which speak of the mighty past—lragments which come like a resurrection to corroborate the tradi- tions of history, and sometimes to correct or restore its lost or fuded pages. Everyihing that we see about us, from the primal granite roeks to the child’s toy which mioisiers to the whim of the moment, is, by a slow pro- cess of disintegration, passing away into a fiue dust, which goes on forever, building up the crust of the ylobe—a five dust which in the course of time becomes animated with verdant sod, and to all appearances silently obliterates the marks which humanity is ever graving upon its surface, or building or shaping with pigmy hands, To all ap- pearances ouly, however, for year by year we ure discoveiipg that beveath the smiling sod and the sad-coloured earth, lie the scat- tered remnants of the ages that have gone. The successive waves of meu that have passed over the globe nave lft traces as in- delibly ivscribed beneath our feet as the light ripples of the ocean, thousands upon thousands of years ago, have graven them- selves upon the sand-stone shores of the pre-adamite world,

Let us for a moment retrace the long Kgyptian galleries that have given rise to ) these reflections, As we pass ulong, the jself-same shadows fiom the statues of the

Those | sculptured stones, as we proceed, as plainly |as though they spoke, yield up traces of the Greek conquest of this aucient people, and jas plainly we see succeeding these, the | rougher marks of the Romans whe followed. But time, the reader will say, has been. re- ‘sisted by enduring stone. This is true, but ithe extraordinary ciweumstance is, that the ‘most perlect records of the-e lung-past ages jure to be found associated with the most fragile materials, As we asceud the stairs,
