vorite rendezvous for oil New York, and may
now fairly be said to prove an unrivalled at
traction. On Saturdays music of the highest
order Is disoeursed to thousands who throng
the Mall and Terrace to listen to the concert,
while every species Of flower that will bloom

natural beauty Of the Park Is enhanced by the

which abound there. The lakes with The swans

We would suggest that what is now known
as 1.-THE Central Park should be called simply
The PafS-Central is by no means euphonious,
and has no particular meaning in this instance
We have nothing worthy of the name save the
Park. All other places in this city now known
as parks are mere squares or commons. In
Paris the Bots de Boulogne. being the favorite
and most beautiful place of resort is known
throughout the city as "The Bois,' although
there are other such places in plenty in that
bright, gay capital. +. a
In London Hyde Park, being the fashionable
rendezvous, is known as 'The Park" although
there are others in the city. We should by all
means drop the word Central" and call our
beautiful land favorite resort t" The Park" 1t
is indeed the Park of the world.

nINCE PIES VS.. TRACTS.

We heard q good story related by q German
who was confined in one Of the hospitals ut
Nashville, which proves conclusiyeiy that
sick soldiers appreciate food for the stomach
more than food for the mind
a rebel lady visited the hospital ore corning
with a negro servant, who carried a large bas-
cloth. She approa shed our German friend ana
accosted HIM thus:
aAre you q good Union man J"
81 ish dat was the laconic reply Of the
German, at the same time casting hopeful
glance at the aforesaid basket.
THAT is all l wanted To know" replied the
lady, and, reckoning the negro to folIowf she
passed TO the opposite side OF the room, where
rebel soldier lay, and asked him the same
question, TO which ne very promptly replied:
Mot by id sight" The lady thereupon
uncovered the basket and laid ont bottle OF
wine, Hince pies, pound cake, and other deli
cacies which We're greedily devourrd in the
presence of the Union soldiers, who felt some-
what indignant.
lady made her appearance with large covered
basket, and she also accosted our German
friend, and desired to know il he was Union
man.
al ish, by Got; no care what you got;
bSse union.'
The lady then set her basket on the table, and
our German friend thought that the truth
awaited in this case, if it did fail in the other.
But imagine the length of the poor fellows
face when theslady uncovered the basket and
presented him with about n bushel OF tracts.
he enoOE his mead dOiefuiIy ana saio' ~ no
read English, and peside, dat rebel on te nonter
side OF te house need dem SO more as me-" The
lady distributed them and left.
Not long afterwards along came another
richly dressed lady, who propounded the same
question again to the German friend. He stood
gazing at the basket, apparently at a loss for
reply. At length he answered her, in Yankee
style, as follows:
.By got, yon no git me dis time; vot you got
init de basketr'
The lady required an unequivocai reply to
her question, and was about to move on when
our German friend shouted out:
"lf You got tracts, bees Union; but if you
got mince pie init pound cake unit vine. l bees
secesh LAX te tibel.''
Sick soldiers have little desire to read tracts
when they are famishes for the want of those
little delicacies SO conducive to the recovery of
hospital patients. When our ladies visit hospi-
tails with tracts we should suggest the impor-
tance OF accompanying them with basket of
provisions; they will be better appreciated
