FREDEnIC Law OLMsTED.

We learn from the New York papers that Fred.
eric Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux took the
first prize, $500, which had been offered FOR
what q committee of judges should declare the
best plan IN all respects Of the great Centrai
Park for the metropolis. There were thirty five

a display of rare ability in the, to. this country.
almost novel art Of landscape gardening. Mr..
Olmsted is one Of the rising man of our coun-
try. No one who has once read, can never for
get his charming book, eutitled Walks and Talks
of an American Farmer in England" With
kuapsack and pilgrims staff he made the tour of
England, and ON his return home in 1851, gave
us the book above %refeIred TO-. which, though
upon subjects usually uriuteresling to the gen
us to cause it TO be sought after by every
body. In 1861 Mr.. 0lmsted gave US two books
to wit, "a Journey threug h the Slave States Of
the Sea Board" and travels in Texas" He
avoided every mere partiEaR view of the sub

weight with them against that institution than all

MATRIMONIAL P0SPECTS OF THE
PRINCE OF WALES.

In the present state of the law, that '1iberty
conscience" which is 80 much Wanted amongst
us is not allowed to the sovereign or the heir to the
throne. If the grace of God moved the Prince of
Wales to be a Catholic, the forfeiture Of his birth
right would be the penalty Of his Rpyal'uighness'
obedience to the call. Such a state of things is
most discreditable and must, if>J ersisted ME eX'

at all approaching his own rank, and to all pres
ent appearances, our future mOnarch's choice of a
wife is positively limited to exactly seven ladies
of royal bloOd-unless, indeed, he selects a consort
much older than himself. This will doubtless
appear startling to ONE of our readers but it is
nevertheless true. The following list (com piled
from authentic sources by a correspondent who
has taken much pairs in investigating this subj
ject) comprises tho only ladies Of royal blood who
as Protestants, are eligible for the hand Of the
Prince Of Wales.

Twas April, and the genial sun
Its daily course had nearly run,
Round its couch in the western sky,
Full many a cloud of brilliant dye,
Hung like a curtain to cniold,
The setting orb with heecy gold !!
All day long it's course had been,
Through skies all cloullcss and serene,
Dispensing light and heat on all,
On which its rays had CHANGED to fall,
Calling from the teeming earth,
New forms of beauty into birth.
Ny labor flushed for the day,
| east all thought of care away,
Yielded to the mystic power
That oft at sunsets solemn hour,
Fills the Heart with mem'rys .cne,
Waking thoughts before unknown.
And leads the mind so far away.
From cares that occupied the day,
We feel not the Calling chain
That calls us pack to earth again-
But tor a season brief and rare
The Joyous sports of childhood share.
Clasping hands with a cherub boy,

With uimble steps he moved along,

Yet pausiug Oft to hear the tone
Of echo answering to his own.
With a poets eye he seemed to tra"e
Tho matchless charms Of Natures face;
A useful lesson seemed to draw,
From every opening bud he saw,
Tracing on its leaflets fine,
The impress of a hand divine.
Hidden mid the epringing grass
Where careless footsteps often pass,
A modest flower of azure hue.
Incense on the zephyrs threw,
And bowling low in the twilight dim
Breathed TO Heaven its vesper hymn.
Said the boy with glceful air,
"Mother see that blossom fair
Like mine its eye is brightly blue
As the summer sky we love TO view
Did not some spirit in the skies,

WHO ARE RESPONSIBILITY

The late triumphant demonstrations among the
people in favor Of the administration opportune and
powerful for good as they must be in all directions
cannot fail to be of peculiar service in their influence
upon Kansas While interested partisans are con-
stanty endeayoring TO exasperatc the inhabitants of
that Territory by sending them letters and speeches
which aim, through all the power Of logic and decla
nation, to prove to them that they have been out
ragged, and ought to resist their oppressors even un-
to death, il is well that they should and feel,
they must see and feel in view of the recent mani
festations of public opinion, that the people of this
Union are wearied, even to disgust of the Kansas
agitation and will longer tolerate its existence.
They beginning to learn this lesson during tho
administration Of Gov. Walker, and, had that officer
remained faithful at his post the lesson might have
been successfully taught. If, instead of running
away from his official duties, because the Lecomp-
ton convention had not followed his recommended
tons he had continued in the Territory, and en-
deavored to peace and tranquility there,
so as TO present the work Of the convention,
with the least possible difficulty to the judgment
of Congress, il is probable he would have sue
ceeded in his abers of pacifcation, and might have
left Kansas in triumph, instead of disgrace. But at
the very period when, of all others, governor was
required there, he nglorously turned his back upon
tho Territory, and hurried home to mutter com
plants against the administration and spin out cob
web theories Of incomprehensible sovereignty
What was il to him that the constitution framed at
Lecompton was not as he would have it He was
not sent there either to make constitutions unnake
them. He territorial governor, and it his
duty to preserve the peace and see that the laws
were executed. Yet he began his career by underta
king to dictate to the convention its duties and
ended by cutting its acquaintance and that of the
whole Territory because his dictaon was not obey
cd. The retreat Of Governor Walker from Kansas,
with his everlasting inaugural in his pocket and his
long resignation in his head is one of the strangcs
passages in that strange territorial history. There
can be doubt at all that he is very largely respon
sible for whatever there is of division in the demo
cratic party, either in Kansas out Of it. upon this
subject Of the Lecompton constitution, because he
not only failed to do what he might have done to
give it fair chance with the people and Congress-
but counscled opposition to it from the beginning
and thus gave a wrong direction to what persons
and presses ho was able to control in Kansas while
after his return to Washington he enforced his oppo-
alton, both by voice and pen, with all the zeal
aud earnestness and ability which he possessed
