ing to interfere with any one, when slight
tap on the brim of your hat causes YOU to
bear away little. Presently you have a
tap on the other side, then on both, and the
next instant, pair Of eyes beaming from a
bed of roses, penetrates your very soul, and
you discover that your head, beaver and all,
is encased in a lady's bonnet Your first
thought will be of love aud paradise, but it
won't do-get out of that bonnet
To one not accustomed to the confined
air of city, ride to Cushing's Garden
in Watertown was most refreshing. This
is most glorious treat to lover of ma
ture. Mr.. c.. has already expended sever
al hundred thousand dollars upon it, and
there is not much wanting to render it a
complete Mohammedan Paradise. Report
says, nothing in the country exceeds it.
From this world of flowers, a visit to the
resting place of the dead may furnish a
subject for profitable reflection. The SOM
bre shades of Mount Auburn afford a ST.
lent and interesting retreat in which to con-
template the close of life. The idea of
death is less revolving where so much beau
~ smiles around tue tomb. And who
would not choose natures loveliest spot as
the slumbering place of departed loved
ones who have borne 10 brighter world
our watmest affection? hope the pro-
prietors OF this great charnel-house will
admit the poor, on favorable terms, and I
am sure its silent inhabitants would not OBJ
ject to share their cold pillows with the
children Of poverty, for here the rich and
the poor are both alike. A sweet aud ho-
ly calmness peryaded my soul as l left this
beautiful house OF death, and advise all,
whose business or pleasure calls them to
Boston, not to forget the cemetery of
Mount Auburn.
| next called at the Insane Hospital in
Cambridge, for the purpose of seeing a
friend, but it was thought best no; to speak
with him, as il might produce an excite

a pleasant and airy situation, and the in

neat Every arrangement seems to be
made to render their situation as pleasant
as possible, and restore them TO health
All manner Of innocent games are permit
ted and encouraged in order to afford a.
musement and wholesome exercise Most
Of them arc, in some way or other engag-
ed, some at the billiard table, others at the
chess board, and about half dozen were
having hearty laugh over bushel Of
green peas which they were Smelling for
dinner. One young man was stretched at
full length upon the floor. Another inquir.

lady had something to do in getting him in
here, or rather, would not do something TO
keep him out. But it was gloomy place
to me. | would gladly have dropped a tehr
upon their graves in the last place visited !,
rather than see them endure life with such
a chaos of intellect The mind IN rains is
an awful subject to contemplate. ...s
Not TO mention all the curiosilies of this
guide city, the New England Museum
deserves notice. 1t is worth a Journey
from Maine to see this alone. had new
er expected to see good old Simeon of BIZ
BILE repute, but here he is, and very happy
too. Evening is the best time to visit it,
Yesterday called at the Missionary
Rooms and saw an interesting cabinet of
curiosities, from all the different missiona-
ry stations on The globe, There were all
manner of gods Of every shape and size,
but none Of them excite SO much venera-
ton as the old chair in which Whiefield
that faithful servant Of the only true GOD,
died The Blind Asylum at South Boston,
the prison at Charleston, and a thousand
other places have moi yet seen, and the

You will he glad to hear that the fremont,
perhaps the best in the country, has ceas-
