The main ditch is made somewhat broader,
•iml a spi; taken from the center of tho bottom,
with a narrow tapering spade, so.as to leave a
shoulder tro bottom of the main ditch, of
six inches or more upon each side, upon which
sticks, cut to a proper length, arc laid cross
wise, and the brush placed horizontally upon
those. Another method is to make the drain
of three sir light sticks oftjmber, two laid in
the bottom of the ditch so far" apart that the
third shall serve a? a cover to the space between
them.

ply watering troughs for his cattle, -upon the

llows in these drains. 'Such has been, their a-

Tlie lovers did indeed put tbo speed of this no
ble animal to the tost, and liis gallop was as wijd
as if it would never end. But, on reaching Paris,
Ascanio was at a loss- how to dispose of his
fair charpe. Cellini was at (his tinie living in an
old castellated house on the left Lank of the Settle
whicli liad formed part of the.Ndstlo PaJaoc, amt
whictf Celliui had called “II Piccol Ncllo.” Al
most all the chambers, eiccpYmg a few iu which
they dwelt, were occupied by the numerous works
in which tho artist was engaged., A £ length As-
ennio’s fertile invention suggested to him an ox
pedicnf, by whirl* lie might «’ii<urc an asylum for
the lady for a short tjmet at least until he should
be able to explain the wholo allair to Cellini.—
Among tlto odjl whims which from time to trine,
reigned in the crazy brain of Cellini, that of muk-
inga colossal statue of Mars had for a.'Ioug time
been paramount, and btr liad proceeded so-far as
to make the head of the figure,'wheli sons6.pt[lei*-

a young fcntale sitting" on a low garden scat
immediately below the bough on' which he
stood. She was woeping. At length raising
her head, she dried her eyes, ami taking tip a
