fruit of the .doer, and sundry other veg
etal fragments. Above these occurs a
layer of roots some inches in depth,
which shows that the surface of the soil
remained at this level for a considerable
period. The upiwrmost layer, two to
three metres thick, was produced by an
inundation. The piles discovered by
Jentzsch in the bed of the Elster are set
in the clay and covered over with this
silt Tliey are arranged in circles, with
their lower ends pointed, and their
upper extremities connected by horizon
tal ties of oak. Among the animal re
mains found here are the lower jaw of
an ox, with its teeth, stags' heads, the
lone bones of some mammal yet unde
termined, and shells of the unto and
anonda. No traces of human remains

pottery and charcoal are met with; also,
two stone hatchets.

Proverbs anel Mottoes of Shaltsv-
peare.
There is no virtue like necessity.
Courage mounteth with occasion.
He tires betimes, that spurs too fast
betimes.
Small showers last long, but sudden
storms are short
With eager feeding, food doth choke
the feeder.
Though death be poor, it ends a mor
tal woe.
The ripest fruit falls first
Out of this nettle danger, we pluck
the flower safety.
No word like "pardon," for kings
months so meet
Tell truth and shame the devil.
Oxen at a stall are better cherished,
still the nearer death.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a
crown.
A man can die bat once, we owe God
a death.
