The deep and impenetrable dark ness which followed, strikes the mind with astonishment inexpressible; That', finch glory should tiavc given way to Such insig nificance such light, to darkness such strengthc.to veakness-r-and such grandeur and originality in design, to a contemptible and grovelling imitation, is truly inexplicable- BuVse it is. Egypt, which jrave the arts and sciences to Greece, and trans mitted to the empire of Rome her wisest and best laws Egypt,- whose pyramids and mausoleums- whose splendid cities and hundred gates bespeak genius and pywer unsurpassed, was doomed to a fate, the degradation of which is too well known. How sudden are the reverses of human for tune ! ' Such reflections would naturally be eli cited, by an examination of a late workoh the ".Antiquities of Mexico", presenting ueh a striking analogy to those . of the Old ITT- 11 .1 T 1 " I ,1 e :s v onu, jnax no ooudi xne curiosity ox miwy will 4ie awakened. The discoveries, as far as they have gone, exhibit much which is . calculated to elicit interest and invite specu lation. And that such a field for inquiry may hot be closed until the hidden trea sures of antiquarian knowledge which ap pear to exist in Mexico, are brought to light, will be desired by all. Several per sons, with much labor, have attempted a delineation of these curious remains, among whom are Dupaix, Nebel, and Lord Kings borough. The work of the latter person is very voluminous, exhibiting however,. but little ability in the arrangement and exami nation of the subject. Each has his favor- ite theory; and supports it with all the zeal and ability of.which he is master. "No one, whatever may be his opinions in relation to the extraordinary people "which mast once have existed in Mexico and the western parts of South America, can help being struck with the great resemblance between their remains and those of the Egyptians. This is particularly striking in the;r archi tecture and hireoglyphicai relics. Palaces, at once noble in their structure and beauti ful in their proportions and decorations- Idols and sculptures, presenting a most striking analogy in their posture and form to the monumental slyle and statuary of E gypt and Phoenicia : arid above all, the two great branches of hieroglyphical language, resembling in many striking instances, those of the Eastern Hemisphere, which have long puzzled-the learned and curious.. ISor do they exhibit less power. Pyramids are founds in brany parts of Mexico equally as stupendous and durable as those of Egypt. Some are said to be of larger base than, the Egyptian.. And within these immense struc tures are! tov be found the same deposito ries or 'sanctuaries, which characterized those of the east. Viaducts, aqueducts, ar tificial roads, graduated and levelled after the rrrannei of our rail roads, and somewhat resembling the military' ways of the Ro mansbridges constructed of the strongest & most durable materials, exhibiting strokes of the most polished architefi tarethe key stone the arch, and architrave all shew that there once lived in this country a peo ple who had advanced very far in civiliza tion and refinement. Nor does the analogy end here. It extends to their costume, and the traces of their rellgiousceremornes. The breastplate and collar of this ancient people, were generally decorated with sym bolical representations of the Sun. The bracelets, .anklets and sandals; very much resemble those of Egypt : some of the san- iois -attorning, a covering for the leg as hirh as the knee and the apron, which- appears io have been common, exhibits : marks of tne greatest richness: decorated vith orn aments of the most costly kind ; f gold, sil ver and jewels, 1I being used to gi veeffect. twit PpeaT t0 be e strongest evidences Dehi 7e!i?ifn acknowledged triune td i that most of their statues, erec hiddenrr0r cf H e -Placed in the auen receses of their temples; Mot of the ruins of theological structures which are discoverable, exhibit that "melancholy gran deur -that deep, solemn' arid impressive sign;of . religious use; which-has;beeriv-re: marked tis characterizing such worke'ln all ageis and-countries. - It is said -that' the py ramid situated -near GhOlqla a town of Mexico Tesembles' very much the towefof Babel, so celebrated in the Old Testament There are many other relics which present ..." . . ! S a strtkirtg similarity to those which have oeen uiscwtereq in uie casiern wunu -jx kliQwledge of these" curious analogies and strong traces Of civilization, naturally indu ces thesmquiry , who could these people have been ?. It may be proper to rerirark,' that nation ihich have armed tb the high est point Of civilization" never retrograde to hafbarism. They may be' expelled, ' and Wbarians may take their places, or they may fall from their high estate', to an inferior but they never go back to . com plete barbarism iwe have no instance on record. There will always be left florae traces of fornier glory, andv those very "mo nument's -becoming fixed to the soil,, im movable and indestructible exhibiting a strong contrast between the two eras those very monuments, which bespeak their in famy, will tend more than any thing else to kindle and keep alive the spark of their pristine splendor. -The Mexicans were just emerging from barbarism. Their costume physiognomy architecture and religion, all differed materially from those of the people whose. an tiouities .we have iust-de- scribed. They must then have flourished centuries before the Mexicans. Every thing connected with them bears the stamp of the greatest antiquity. But ?Aothey were whence 'they ; -originated,- and' where they nourished, antiquarians have come to no definitive conclusion. One theory ia, that they were descendants of the Ten Tribes another, that they owginatQd, from the -E gyptians and a third, that iheir ancestors were the celebratedl Cyislepean giants or Masons, who wandered frera country to country, carrying with them the traces of their splendid Architecture. Each of these theories - is plausibly supported, and the reader is left in doubt as to which is entitled to the most credit, being firmly convinced however, of the utter impossibility of ever determining conclusiTemwhat is their his torw- But after all, -we cannot expel from our mind a curiosity to know something morejf a people over whose history, revo lutions and time have thrown such an im penetrable . veil ol oblivion. YVc leel an involuntary anxiety to know who were their heroes their statesmen and their artists what their deeds in arms their glory their eloquence and their religion. In fine, we crave the pen of the historian to leadus into the midst of thatbusv, bustlintr crovd,who ages and ages past, reared those splendid structures whose remains are now the ad miration of so many thousands. .And who knows, but in their day, they could point to their C&sar . and Napoleon-r-that they hung with rapture on. the words of their Tully and JDemosthenes and that they ga zed in astonishment on the life-giving pow er of the chisel of their Phidias and Praxi teles.. But they had nb Homer to write their story : and the same hand which is now gradually annihilating the race which succeeded to their country, ultimately era sed every vestige of their existence, except those enduring monuments exhibiting the .Hills 10 feet apart 2, 3, and at most 4 plants only to remain in the hill, and stand ing apart from each other : thinned by the time the plants have 6 leaves.' . - If the season be dry, dig down by the side of' the hills nearly as deep as the Bot tom of the holes, and rat-ir a ---bucket or two of-water filling1 thehole' after the wa ter is absorbed : as soon as the-yellow bug is gone, take away the sand ' and -supply its place with soil. This is all that can be done -in the hill. y: v r .

Let no melon set within 4 or 5 feet from the root; and then only one on a lateral branch, three to a plant. Let the vine run on as far as it will, keepingit to the ground: permit no melon to grow that is deformed : pull off no male blossoms. .When: the melon is nearly to rts size, others may be permitted to set on the same vine, and a second crop raised. I should think the vines might be made to grow from 20 to-30 feet long. Great pains should be taken that the vines are not removed or trod upon. The early ut small melons. Let the melons set at the 2d or3d leaf-joint from the root, and take the vine off twoioints beyond the melons. To increase the number of eantelotrpes. Take off all the melons that set withiA two feet of the roots. These may be planted 6 feet apart, 4 to the hill, and renuire no particular attention. Sand on the hills is ne of the best pre ventatives asrainst the yellow ' bup;, though not entirely a pre Tentative. It is useful to plant pumpkin or squash seeds near the hills for the bugs--taking care; to pull, them up as soon as the bugs are gone. I Canteloupes should not b&.planted nearer than 20 yards tomuskmelons or cucumbers. To improve your seed, save none but from the very best melons. . - A HUMOROUS SCENE.
