their olessings-than rural embellishments.
ms Is true whether we apply the term to
our neighoorhood or individual abode. The
public grounds about the great cities OF Eu.
rope, some OF which comprise an area of
hive hundred acres, are the theme Of general
admiration, the theatres Of healthfnl exercise
and recreation, and the sources of high in.
tellectnal enjoyment. The lesser towns, vii.
lages and cities even Of our own country,
owe more OF their charm and interest to the
trees and plants which embellish their squares,
streets and grounds, In the eye Of man Of
taste, than To any ostentatlous show OF brick
and mortar; more TO the beauties of nature
than 10 the works OF man. Nay, the highest
efforts OF human intellect arc in vain put in re-
QUESTION to initiate the handiWOrk Of the Gre
ator. And when we come down 10 suburban
residences and even TO the ostentatious abode
o. the farmer, how are their beauties height
eaed, and their value enhanced, by screen
OF ornamental trees and well kept garden.
London informs US that in travelling from
ctrasbourg to Munich, he passed through a
continued avenue Of frult and forest trees
planted on both sides Of the highway, for
more than 100 miles. Who that has visit

that has passed through New England in

mere is, says our author, a great
eeal o. enlnyment to be derived from per-
Iorming me operations OF gardening, indie
penoently irom the health resulting from
tnls klnq q exercise. 10 labor for the sake
q arriving g . result and 70 be successful in
aiiainlng u iscause and effect and is attended
BY a certain degree Of satisfaction to the
mind, however simple or rude the labor
may be, and however unimPortant the re-
sult ohiained- 10 be convinced Of this We
have only TO imagine ourselves TO be EN-
ployed m any labor from which no result en-
sues but that Of iatiguing the body or
worrying the minds the turning wheel, for
eAample, that is connected with no machi
nefy, Or Il connected, effects no useful pur-
posqi ne carrying a weight ftom one point
70 anolher and back again; or the taking q
walk without any ooject in view, but the ne.
galIlF Que Of pursuing health. Thus it Is not
only crndilion Of our nature that in order to
secure health we must labor, butwe must also
labor IN such Q way as to produce something
useful or agreeable. Now, Of the different
kinds Of useful things produced by labor,
t1ula things surely which are living beings,
and which grow and undergo changes before
our eye, must be more productive Of enjoy
ment than such as are mere brute natter
lhe kind Of labor and other circumstances
being the same. Hence man who plants
. tree, hedge, or sows q grass plot in the
garden, lays more certain foundation for
