TIE FREE ACCIDENTAL the Rev. Or. Psrker's
Church in Fourth-av., last evening, the prize de-
carnations of the Students Of the Free Academy were
delivered in manner satisfactory to teachers, pupils
and friends. The church quite crowded, but
owing to the departure Of the cheated term the
audience were net incommsded by the crowd, and
with the assistance Of a brass band managed TO pass
the evening with satisfaction. The speakers were
Jared S. Babeock, Geo. Z. Halves, Charles H.
Kiicbell, Wells T. Banning, Samuel Maxwell, Jr.;
J, hn Howe, Jr.; Hamn Babcock, Samuel b. House
and Russell Raymond. After the Oratorica exer.
cises DIR. Webster announced that a stranger had

which he hoped would tend 10 stimulate the young
declaIner 10 renewed efforts toward excellence.

HOW SOME PEOPLE GO TO WORK AT 1T.

When vulgar ostentation commences country
life, it is commonly by expanding an inordinnte
snm in the construction Of the villa. The parent
goes to work after this manner
"He uproots a natural growth of forest.trecs,
and levels the knoll on which they stood, to give a
clear view and an even slope from the house to the
road. A grand gateway, with porter's lodge be-
side, gives entrance to grounds adorned with SER
pentine walks and fantastic fower-beds, and vases
and statues and fountains Of elaborate design,
whose aquatic performances scarcely rival those
of a respectable syringe. Trees are planted in
formal correspondence with each other, but with
no perceptible Object, and producing no other
effect than that of increasing the stiffness which
prevades the place.
Conspicuous above all is the house itself, pro-
claiming the responsibility of the proprietor in
every gable and eaves-drop, and insisting upon 1t
with all the force of vulgar magniicence. The
place derives its character from its rrofusion of
artificial establishment. Its smartness is moon
%sistent with ease or dignity. The le,ven of home
comfort is wanting in It's composition, and the
whole establishment is but an exaggerated piece
of dandyism. 1t is obvious that no perception Of
natural beauty could have existed in the mind
which conceived it, for tho pervading expression is
in direct opposition to that of nature. Natural
scenery may be grand, or picturesque, or simply
beautiful, and in either case art may accord with
II and contribute to the development Of its peculiar
characteristic; but whatever its prevailing express
sion, it always possesses n dignity which is incon'
sistent with mere prettiness, and its charm is gone
from the moment it is made subsidiary to art"
