 This charming park ia which. the shade of forest trees and t5e beauty Of flowers eoatend for our pre- terence, was originally feansed in the blaekssi ia- justice. Some thrre hnu9reS years sgo that fat old tyrsBt "Enry the Heighthr as the Engit<h eai hirn arbitrarily robbed the charch 0f ths large tract in. ci1ding both Hyde and Keusisz.e- and approprla- ted II t9 his own use.

Noth- fog less than arbitrary power could have al frs; ap- pFopFiated tho iaHd-nothing less than arbitrary power could have resisted the advancing steps of improvement And, however mach the people may new rejoice in the existence of she parks nothing but the tyranny of their ruler could have prevented
 s being hai up into houses and streets, during the rapid growth of the city in the last few years
 We certaihiy have nothing in America which compares with these large of woodland in the heart Of Inc city, We grow foo fast. We are too uitsrian in our notions to set aside such large and valuable tracts for near pleasure and ornament And. even If they reserved we are too Eauoh in hurry 10 improve them. The present. neesssi. ties of our unheard of increase leave us no time 10 watch the growth of trees and to piant flowers When States spring up if by magic how little are we interested in the tedious growth of trees But, whilst the waves of improvement roll in such qHick succession over our country, we shall have no time 10 think Of parks ana gardens-no power to reserve them
 In conclusion, ] cannot but regret that stronps peryeEsion of taste which prompts people at home, in the west and south. uGthlessly to destroy whole groves of trees, the beauty of which the power and wealth of England have yaialy struggled for centu- ries 10 rival And thsn they set out a few stiuted shrubs and cedars, if they hoped o rival the mag uihceHce of trees which nature had planted and reared. Beautiful "ceared" spot may seem Ia eyes sated with the gloomy splendor of the forest. all must remember that few years may feil but centuries can only rear those proudest ornaments oi our country, which must be more highly prized as they become scareer. A few old trees, spared during the general clearing, will reward with their shade and beauty him who reserves them, for he will soon learn to know their real value NJ
