In No. 328 you have given an account of a cromleh in Anglesea. Perhaps it may not be amiss to inform you that the word _cromlech_, or _cromleh_, is derived from the Welsh words _crom_, feminine of _crwm_, crooked, and _lech_, a flat stone. There are some cromlehs in Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, which are supposed to have been altars for sacrifices before the Christian era. W.H. * * * * * THE ALPINE HORN. (_For the Mirror._) The Alpine Horn is an instrument made of the bark of the cherry-tree, and like a speaking-trumpet, is used to convey sounds to a great distance. When the last rays of the sun gild the summit of the Alps, the shepherd who inhabits the highest peak of those mountains, takes his horn, and cries with a loud voice, "Praised be the Lord." As soon as the neighbouring shepherds hear him they leave their huts and repeat these words. The sounds are prolonged many minutes, while the echoes of the mountains, and grottoes of the rocks, repeat the name of God. Imagination cannot picture any thing more solemn, or sublime, than this scene. During the silence that succeeds, the shepherds bend their knees, and pray in the open air, and then retire to their huts to rest. The sun-light gilding the tops of those stupendous mountains, upon which the blue vault of heaven seems to rest, the magnificent scenery around, and the voices of the shepherds sounding from rock to rock the praise of the Almighty, must fill the mind of every traveller with enthusiasm and awe. INA. * * * * * SPIRIT OF DISCOVERY * * * * * ENGLISH GARDENING. Mr. Corbett has just published a useful little volume, entitled the _English Gardener_, which is, perhaps, one of the most practical books ever printed. At present we must confine our extracts to a few useful passages; but we purpose a more extended notice of this very interesting volume. _Laying out Gardens._
