is in view. Of the residence little has yet been said (although an
outlay of 6,0001. has just been expendedon its completion),and it may
be well to observe that, without being encumbered with the nuisance
of too large a domicile, there is all and everything a family (not
too large) can desire. It has been erected within the last seven
years, and whatever can be understood by the comprehensive term
of comfort will be found to hold a prominent place here ; but
WITHIN THIS LITTLE ELYSIUM,

is placed a GAZEEBO of NOVEL FORM,
and so ingeniously contrived that the beauteous scenery by which
it is so entirely surrounded is seen with immensely increased effect.
It is really quite impossible to do justice to the tact that has pre-
sided over this great feature of the abode. Its form is duodecagon,
there are tire windows, each diversifying the scene; and there ate
twelve angles.

The ingenuity that has conceived this happy ettbrt to give id.

has never before enjoyed. To give an adequate representation Is
quite out of the question—its beauty and its loveliness altogether

has added so much of ingenuity, and of variety, that the scene
never tires—at every turn something new and beautiful is pre-
