They are certainly not to be blamed !;
for who would look at a brown stone
front, which seems fairly to radiate
with heat, when they could loiter by
the shady banks of some beautiful lake
in Minnesota, paddle along beneath the
overhanging branches, and enjoy the
cool, refreshing breezss? Very many

One of the pleasantest places for resor
during the sultry evenings of summe
is the Thomas Gardens, close by Cen

been erected, one part being for con.

over fifty instruments, under the leat
Of Theo. Thomas, gives exquisite mu
sic, which, if one may judge by tn
hearty and frequent enco''es, is thor
oughly appreciated. Over the plat
form on which is the band, hangs
chandelier of . beautiful and most ap
propriate design. It represents Aowc
pots, from which spring slender gree,
leaved stalks with dropping branches
and from the full white tulip at the EN-

the building is used for a restauran
