Those walls pass the river in Several places rising from the waters edge much above the Sand Stone Bluffs, which they Seam to penetrate; thence Continueing their course on a Streight line on either Side of the river thorough the gradually ascending plains over which they tower to the hight of from ten to 90 feet untill they reach the hills which they finally enter and Conceal themselves. these walls Sometimes run parallel to each other, with Several ranges near each other, and at other times intersecting each other at right angles, haveing the appearance of the walls of ancient houses or gardins. both Capt Lewis and My self walked on Shore this evening and examined those walls minutely and preserved a Specimine of the Stone. I found many clifts of very excellent free Stone of a light yellowish brown Colour.

Well, I thought you'd seem different, somehow, but anyway, we brought you over a few blooms. We thought you couldn't have much time, movin' round so, to work in your gardins, especially the things you have to sow every year. Yes, dear, yes! Take a good handful. Here's a little mignonette I put in the bottom, so't everybody could have a sprig. Yes, there's enough for the men, too.
"Now you stop thinkin' gardins for a minute an' pay some heed to me," said Mrs. Marshall. "How was I goin' to look out for the pinies, when I only come into the property this spring? Uncle'd ha' seen 'em mowed down for fodder before he'd ha' let you or anybody else poke round over anything 'twas his.
Now you come in, dear, an' we'll make the bed it's all aired complete an' then we'll go to sleep, an' see if we can't dream us a nice, pleasant dream, all about green gardins, an' the folks we love walking in the midst of 'em!" Miss Dorcas True stood in her square front entry, saying good-by to Phoebe Marsh.
If you do, like 's not when you're my age you'll be all soul alone, like me, an' goin' round 'tendin' to other folks's gardins." Wilfred stared at him in wonder. "I don't know," he found himself saying. "I might fix it, but I guess 'twould be kind o' queer." Gardener Jim screwed up his face until his eyes were quite eclipsed. "Queer!" said he.
I observe no difference between the licorice of this Countrey and that Common to maney parts of the United States where it is sometimes Cultivated in our gardins-. this plant delights in a deep lose Sandy Soil; here it grows verry abundant and large; the nativs roste it in the embers and pound it Slightly with a Small Stick in order to make it Seperate more readily from the Strong liggaments which forms the center of the root; this they discard and chew and Swallow the ballance of the root; this last is filled with a number of thin membrencies like network, too tough to be masticated and which I find it necessary also to discard.
"Well, he says to me, 'I never see such a lot o' nice gardins as there is round here. 'Don't you know the reason? says I. 'Why, Gardener Jim goes round an' takes care of 'em without money an' without price. Wake up, Jim. That's what I said." The look of response had vanished from his face. He had taken a knife from his pocket and was clipping a dead branch from the prairie queen at the window.
