It was thought it would impossible to get Mayer to sell it, but Avery, authorized by Mr. Vanderbilt, resolved to try. He did cut wish to a trip to den at tho time, so lie wrote to Mayer that a friend of his wanted the picture, but not as a matter of business. It was not to buy to sell again. The banker replied that he had often been importuned to sell the picture, but had invariably re- fused.

If it ever be your good fur tune to go to Florida and visit the keys at the southern end of the you may see a coral plantation alive and growing. There is a famous lighthouse called Cary's fort light off the coast there, from which such a sight can be had. Cary's fort light is built the open sea, with- out a foot of land about it. It is an iron framework of columns, Strengthened by a network of braces and girders, and the rooms in which lives tho keeper are about half way up to the light, out of the reach of the waves, or feet above the water. A balcony runs about these rooms, and as the lighthouse is built aver one Te and extensive on this or any other coast the sight presented on looking from this cony into the ocean is more wonder- than can lie well imagined by one who has not seen it. The coral field spreads around the light- house as far as the eye can reach, and so transparent is tho water that the ocean bottom can be seen, as plainly a garden, lying beneath. The coral field is largely made up of what called leaf corals, with large flat branches that grow one above another, chasing each other singly and in companies, darting about, winding in and out the corals as if in a game of hide and go seek, and hundreds of fish play among their spreading Most of them are of very brilliant colors, some of a bright blue, others partly blue and partly black, others again black blended with yellow, and still ethers of a bright canary yellow beneath and rich purple above. Now and then some large fish, a shark perhaps, passes by, and all the small fry scatter, hiding among the corals, and arc seen no more till their enemy sight. Besides the leaf coral there are many others oven more beautiful to he seen. Some are in the shape of huge vases, some are like great globes, others branch out as do the horns of the stag, there are more delicate branching kinds, call- ed finger corals and great numbers of sea fans. The sea fans form the Shrubbery of the sea garden. They stand on the ocean bottom on a sort of root, and, unlike the leaf and branching corals, which are rigid and motionless, they rise lightly in the water and wave in the gentle undercurrents as if stirred by the wind.
