If these beautiful grounds had the gift
of tongues, I suppose they could relate
some amusing things, of people OF all
ages and sexes. Persons ijaded with the
press aof continued effort in business, of
various kinds, unstring the bow, and come
here for relaxation and health. Young
people resort here to see these beautiful
grounds, where young men can whisper
soft things in the ears of the blushlng
maiden, they would not like others to
hear. These fair daughters OF Eve are
sometimes amused to sec their beauX
striving. to give utterance to something
that perplexes the mind; and their hearts

adorn and beautify the place than the
other. But the tendency is, the youth

I su1pcse9no one who has visited this
beautiful place has ever returned from bis
rambic, regrettng the time and labor it
has cost him to see it. And il any reader
wishes q more full description of this

the first opportunity, and let 20 his bus
