Beautiful New England Others may seek
lovely and majestic scenes across the wide ocean
Every river which runs from the White Noun
tains to the sea will repay careful poregrina-
ton along its banks-and even on the railroads
which converge at our Tremontan city, we gaze
on brilliant, though somewhat confused, pam
oramic scene. Particularly picturesque is the
Western Railroad, which varies in the character
of its landscape from the frownng pasture-hills
at Berkshire, to the suburban beauties of Bos-
ton, And among all the chateaux, villas, mas-
onettes and nondescript specimens of architect
ure, none is more beautiful than the cottage-home
of Doctor Morton, where he resides during the
summer months.
Such was our verdict, few days since as we
left the station-house at West Needham, and ap-
preached the doctors grounds. They embrace
about six acres, in natural basin surrounded
by an ampatheatre of forest-clad hills, dotted
with residences. From the centre Of this hollow,
rises knoll, and on this stands the cottage-.a
large and picturesque building of the English
style of rural architecture. The prospect from
its every window, is of course superb. In the
, foreground are the serpentine walks, rustic sum-
warehouses;, flower r-bedS, young trees, sparkling
, streams, and other appurtenances of the mansion
ITSELF Beyond, we see the village church, the
: snug homes of those employed in the establish
= ment, and the other quiet beauties of country
: landscape, while an occasional train sweeps
: along the adjacent railway, like fiery dragon, @
type of the nervous, go-ahead spirit of the utill
; tartan age. And those who moraize, can picture
: a silver tide flowing beneath an earthen embank
r ment, which, like the seed spoken Of in the
parable is destined to burst forth in beauty, ant
}, gladden. city with its pure element of health.
d But we had not come to admire this landscape
r or the gem of architectural taste which it en-
| shrines. Our curiosity had been awakened BY
h hearing that show case destined for the LondoI
: Exhibition, of which we spoke fortnight since
e was to contain nearly one hundred thousand falls
: teeth! And having visited nearly every descrip
e ton of mill, in various quarters of the globe
n we had some curiosity to examine tooth mill
. Our curiosity was gratifed in the most oblign
IS manner, and we, kind reader, will now pass wit
e you through this large establishment. Mr.Flagq
o the foreman of the establishment will accompa
is ny us. He is brother-in- law of Doctor Nor
ton, and has been fully initiated by him into tn
O. mysteries of what we are to witness.
i Entering, we first examine a steam engine

stones revolve with fearful velocity, and sen
forth a delicate flour. Taste it not, unless yo
wish to have your teeth set on edge, for it is pt
