HOME EMBELLISHMENTS.

A dwelling house, no matter what the
style, standing alone, either on hill or plain,
apart from other objects, would hardly be al
attractive sight. AS a mere representation
Of a particular style of architecture, or as a
! model Of imitation, it might excite our adj
mratlon, but it would not be an object on
which the eye and the imagination could re-
pose with satisfaction. 1t would be incom
plete unless accompanied by such associates
| as the eye is accustomed to embrace in the
| full qualification Of the sensations to which
that organ Is the conductor. But assemble
around that dwelling, subordinate structures,
trees and shrubbery properly disposed, and
it becomes an object Of exceeding interest
and pleasure in the contemplation. 1t is,
therefore, that the particular style or outward
arrangement Of the house is but part OF
what should constitute the general effect, and
such style is to be consulted only so far as it
may in itself please the taste, and give bcnc-
fit or utility in the purposes for which it is
intended. Still the architectural design should
be in harmony with the features of the sur
rounding scenery, and is thus important in
completing the effect sought, and which can
not be accomplished without it.
A farm with its buildings, or a simple
country residence with the grounds which
enclose it, or cottage with its door yard and
garden, should be finished sections of the
landscape Of which i: forms a part, or attrac-
tive points within it; and Of consequence,
complete each within ITSELF and not depen-
dent upon distant accessories to support it
an ,mper'um n, imperio, in classic phrase. A
tower, a monument, a stoeple or the indis-
tinct outline o: distant town may from a
striking feature in a pictorial design and the
associations connected with them, or the
character in which they are contemplated
may allow them to stand naked and unador-
ned by other objects, and still permit them
to fill up perfect harmony the picture
This idea will illustrate the importance of
embellishments not only in the substitution
of trees as necessary appcndagcs to COM
pletc rural establishment, but in the erection
of all the buildings necessary for occupation
in any manner, in form and position, to give
effect from any point of view in which the
homestead may be seen. General appearance
should not be confined to one quarter alone,
but the house and its surroundings on every
side should show completeness in design

humble, and devoted to the meanest purposes,
as portion Of these erections may be, yet
the character of utility or necessity which
they maintain, gives them ali air of dignity,
if not of grace. Thus, house and out build

rul group. in themselves combined, but asso-
ciatc the idea Of rcposc, ofcomfort, and abnn-
daucc--indispensable requisites to perfect
farm residence. They also Seem to connect
the house and ou,-buldings with the fields
beyond, which are of necessity naked of
trees, and gradually spread the view abroad
over the fam until it minglvs with, or is
lost in the general landscape.
If it he neccessarysto build in good taste
at all, it is quite as necessary that SUCH good
taste be kcptir view throughout. A coun.
t'v dwelling should always be conspicuous
object in its full character and outline, from
one Or more prominent points of observation;
consequently all plantations oftrces or shrub
berry in its immediate vicinity should be con-
sidcrcd as aids to show off the hotisc and its
appenaages, instead of becoming the prnci-
pal Objects Q! attraction in themselves. Their
di disposition should be such as to create per-
feet and agreeable whole, when seen in con-
ncction with the housc itself They should
also be so placed as to open the surrounding
landscape to view in its most attractive ftas
lures, from the various parts of the dwelling.
Much in the effective disposition of trees
around the dwelling will thus depend upon
the character Of the country seen from it, and
which should control to great extent their
position. y single tree, of grand and stately
dimensions, will frequently give greater effect
than the most studied plantations. A ledge
of rock, III the clef,s of which wild vines
may nestle, or around which mass of shrub
berry may cluster, will add charm to the
dwelling which an elaborate cultivation would
fail to bestow; and the most negligent appa-
rel of nature in thousand ways may give
a character which we might strive in vain 10
accomplish by our own invention. In the
efforts 10 cmbellish our dwellings or grounds.
the stfong natural objects with which they
are associated should be consulted. always

Dream'st thou of the lightnings flashing
In the midnight Of his eyes,
And his locks OF Arab bIackness
Oh, watcher OF the skies
Is it but the purple spcndor
Burning in the gorgeous west,
Thou dost wait for i-or the waving
OF Siscra's crest!
Pausest tllou to hear the anthem
Roof the blue dome overhead
Or the stately palace ringing
With his iron tread :
In his stall thy royal pallrcy
Shakes his silver llowing name,
AZ be sruffs the battle incense
Rising from the slain.
From the hills the chariots' thunder
Rock the golden lattice bars
And thou sccst the Spear-heads cleaning
Like a sea Of stars !
Lofty danes, around thee sitting,
Cannot sooth thy grief away,
Sayng-in the vale he tarrics,
With the spoil and prey!
Where then roll thy rings Of IRE,
Chariot of the dauntless one
Aud an awful voice makes echo
Toward the drrud unknown!
Mourntully the pale lids dropping,
Hide the bitter we'll Of tears
From her heart goes out Il crying
Through the deoolate years
Woman as thou art, and mother
With Il yearning strong to save,
Fen thy great love cannot win him
From the hungry grave!
