Mr.. Editor-1 would like, with your permission, TO
call the attention of active villagers the present
deplorable condition Of our PARKs! 1t is the time of
year for planting young trees, and will continue SO
but a short time Will the movers and orignators of
our contemplated beautiful Parks" take view of
them; and If, on seeing and behoding for themselves
any deficiencies that can be easily remedied, have
such remedy Immediately applied? We would kind
ly request Of them to survey the fields" and alike
to give lingering look at the fences"-if not to
have them painted least to have the posts righted
and properly secured.
Il was but day since that we beheld small herd
Of calues in the East Park, committing divers depre.
dations-one goreing and barking young and thrifty
spruce tree-another nippng the peepine grass.
which is a necessary decoration to these village
6elds;" and to say no more Of the hourly visits of
young cattlea musical score of hogs and geese, nav

coursng this sought be protected part of our
village sparng nothing that meets with their de.
structive propensites We ask, cannot something
be done to remedy this lawess and abomnable dis
position Of our INTENDED beautiful Parks?"

~ e only amaranthine flower on eartkis virtue"
Thus fail the bright hopes Of precarious
lite-the vigor of cherished youth man
hood, proud in its nurtured strength, and
age with its vigilant and cautious steps, rest
alike in a strange but kindred sepulchre.-
Earth has no power to redeem its own from
decay. Whatever springs from its soil, or
:Subsists on its eXuberancc,. like Autumn
leaves must rest again in its BOSOM. Fancy
may awhile delight TO contemplate her pro-
spective pictures, but we weep in the end to-
see how iilusory they are:
The chaplets which we row weave in
careless and unconscious happiness mag
survive us in their freshness, and mourning
friends may scatter their untuded flowers
over our tombs. Such is the sad office OF
tender affection; to commit to the early
tomb the cherished form Of a dear and only
child, whose opening years were full Of pro-
mise and the smile Of whose cheerful counte-
nance was to her parents lifes chief joy. 1t
is il poor tribute TO the memory OF such an
one to descant on any earthly attributes
IT'S the tender sympathising spirit, its
sweetness and composure, that exhibits the
fruits of productive, heavenly virtue. These
shall survive the wreck OF death, land forever
exist the happiness of a celestial spirit. 1t
is then free and unburthened in its terror
and aspirations, and when virtue sanctified
and humble has been its benson ON earth,
how bright will it shine beyond The pale of
night, where pain and woe betide itnot. =" X
