south. Along the wall is a range of benches COM
manding a view of the walks ard avenues of the
garden. This genial nook is a place of great re-
sort in the latter part of autumn, and in fine days
in winter, as it seems to retain the flavor of de-
parted summer On Il calm, bright morning it is
quite alive with nursery-maids and their playful
little charges. llither also resort q number of
ancient ladies' and gentlemen, who, with %laudable
THRIFT IN small pleasures and small expenses, for
which the french are to be noted come here to
ENJOY sunshine and save trewoOd. Here may
often DO seen some cavalier Of the old school, when
the sunbeams have warmed his blood into some
thing like a glow, futtcring about like II frost bit
ton moth thawcd before the fire, putting forth al
feeble show OF galiantry among the antiqnatcd
danes, ami now aud then cycling the buzom nur-
seTy maids with what might almost be mistaken
Tor an air OF llbcruniSm.
Among tae :abitual frequentcrs Of this place,

dress was decidedly antiTovoluuonal. lie wore
the three cornered cooked hat Oh the ancient re-
9,me his har was iri1zled over each ear INTO

OF which was NOT to lie disputed. HIS dress,

When he reached London he had buta louis in

He took his seat in the pit, listened attentively
