towering high i'll the air; while to the eye,
IN surprising loveliness lay, strctched-hils,
wales and forests and every thing to
captlvate and inspire the lover of Nature,
with feelings of admiration and delight.
Above and around us was magnificent
canopy OF trees of the loveicst hue, uniting
their branches and forming shade of re-
freslnent over our heads, while flowers and
Jessamlnes i'll con junction with woodbincs
were displaying their artless beauties to the
ravishcd eye. Troops of merry schoolgirl
and boys, and others of every age and sex,
were cheerily tripping DER "iandscapc, lawn
aud lea," while upon the ambient air the
song OF Joyous revelry rose. Upon this gallant
day. soft words were spoken, and doubtless
many tale OF love was told. The writer
OF this article overheard a conversation that
was i'll its self rich and racy, but for the sake
OF the SWAIN concerned it shall not be
chronicled. A variety ofsuLjects were dis
cusscd, and as Sydney Smith has said every
thing was uttered forth in Babel-likc con

Thursday Morning, May IL, 1853.
Health! Eealth!

Summer is coming upon us, with its train Of at
tendint dscascs-fcvrrs, rcmttcnt and in,crmit-
tont. We have too many necessary evils in this
life, nccdessly TO expose ourselves to those which
may be easily provided against. Now, there is 10
more prolific source of disrnsr, than the dccompo-
slion Of vegetable matter, and 10 more cfftctu
preservation Of health than cleanliness. We would
therefore, call the attention Of our Council to the
necessity Of ccaniu. out the branches in the neigh
borhood Of the village, and to the Importance Of
keeping every lot in proper state Of cleanliness.
Let undertake the business forthwith ; save tho
doctors bill, aud preserve oar hcallI-.hc great
