In this view we have a number of fishing vessels which have just arrived laden with the spoils of the Adriatic.The Venetian sailors, with their quaint head-gear and sun-burnt faces, are a fine race of men, and in spite of their toilsome existence their appearance bespeaks contentment. They are now busy enjoying a dolce far niente, and getting through an early siesta,. which Italians love so well. However, we ought not to complain, for they have well earned a few hours' rest before again starting on their toilsome business [B] Sometimes as many as fifty to a hundred of these picturesque craft may, at certain seasons, be seen lying moored between the Public Gardens and the Piazzetta.

It is of course to the suburbs of this populous city that visitors, who come for the warmth and soft air of Algiers, resort, and in them are dotted about the charming little villas in which the genial winter is passed away. These villas are generally situated as near the seashore as possible, in what is known as the Marengo Gardens?which owe their existence to the late emperor's love of improvement; and these gardens are adorned with, in some cases, vineyards, and in others with orange, lemon, myrtle, and olive groves. Behind them rises a sheltering hill, which protects them from the fierce siroccos that blow from the interior of the vast continent, and on the hill stands the Cathedral of Notre Dame de l'Afrique.

Sorrento presents to the traveller who gazes upon it for the first time the ideal Italian seaside resort. Situated amongst the most lovely groves of oranges and lemon trees, and with precipitous hills rising behind it, whilst, at the bottom of the. cliffs on which it is placed, the Mediternaples,ranean lies, it would be difficult to name any spot that more appeals to the sense of beauty. It is the fashion now for people who are tired of the noise and heat of Naples to frequent Sorrento, and here, either in the charming little villas which1it contains or in its excellent hotels, to find that rest and tranquility which it would be impossible to obtain in the great city near it. In the winter it is crowded with tourists of all nations, and even in the summer the sea breezes render it sufficiently cool to be inhabitable with ease. Capodimonte is a small suburb of the small spot, and it was here that Tasso lived.

The path by the stream is a steep ascent shaded by countless trees, and continuing for about a mile, meeting through its whole course the descending torrent, which dashes in glorious freedom over the rocks. On either side the banks, rising- in some places very precipitously, are covered with ferns and overhung by beautiful trees. This delightful spot is worthy of a good hour's inspection, and the tourist is sure to be pleased with the lovely little views it affords.

These stretching upwards, with the road winding under, and the stream bubbling over the scattered rocks, impress a wondrous silence upon us, and our imaginations begin to be excited.

If a person could live upon landscape, wrote Mr. Wyndham, he would scarcely desire a more eligible spot than this. If the tourist has plenty of time on his hands, a walk of three miles into the neighbouring valley of Ffestiniog will amply repay him, the scenery being almost world- renowned, and made famous by Lord Lyttleton, who, when he visited it in 1756, wrote, If you have a mind to live long, and renew your youth, come and settle at Ffestiniog.

This plant is so perfectly preserved in their original state and so admirably restored, so you can call these abbey church as a Schmuckkästlein German art. The monastery was founded in 1186 by the Imperial Vogt Volkmar von Wildenstein outside the Rose Gate of Goslar and indeed as a Cistercian follow the rules of the Benedictine monastery dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It has the name Maria in the rose because of its location.

In the 17th century St Oswald was extended due to strong growth of the Protestant community and designed with galleries, north even in two floors. The main decoration is from the 18th century, are predominantly stucco ornaments. Peculiarly attractive is the view from this festive colorful space in the finely articulated Gothic choir.

While the nails are driven out from behind that they clinking fall to the ground, Joseph of Arimathea rises at the front of the cross up, takes the holy body with reverence on the shoulder and carries him down slowly.

He saith unto her, Behold, behold, your son and they said to him, Behold your mother! You give him a sponge of vinegar, as he is thirsty. It prepares for the great shuddering full hour in which the God-man to divorce.
