GROUNDS.

Monroe Souure.-During the year few
trees and evergrcens were replaced at Mou-
roo Souare, seats were added, walkways
we're travelled, and some changes were
made in the fountain and drains. A top
dressing of fine white gravel, to com.
plete the walks, and additional seats, are sl'i'
needed in this Square.
CANDLES HhN.-The chain-gang is now
at work grading and preparing CANDLES
Hill for such improvements as the amohn!
of money appropriated for the purpose WIZ
carry out. The design in the improvements
of this hill is to lay off the upper portion
with roads and foot-paths in such manner
as to enable light vehicles and pedestrians
to enter the grounds at Third and Fourtii
streets, and, skrting around the margin OF
the plateau, to pass by terraced serpentlne
roads and foot paths to the depression near
the level of the canal, communicating VIII
entrances at First, Second, and FlIth
streets. and with driveway along the
canal on the BERN side leading to Holly
wood Cemetery. To carry out completely
this design it will be necessary to acquire
ground. which, although now comparative
" yalueIess, can be readily changed from
,ns1obtlv rugged hill-slopes and marsh lnto
ornamental terraces and grass-plats, ana
make picturesque little lake in place OF
an llnattractive boat-yard. .,, mt

A MODERN RUTH.-A pretty story
was told some time ago in an exchange:
A young lady from the South was
wooed and won by young Californian
physician. About the time the wedding
was to come of, the young man lost his
entire fortune. He wrote the lady a
letter releasing her from ber enuage-
ment. Aud what does the dear good
glrl do? Why she takes lump Of gold
which her. lover had sent her in his
prosperity as keepsake, and. having
it manufactured into a ring. forwards II
to him with the following inscription !:
sEntreat ne not to leave thee, or TO
return from following after thee, for
whittier thou goest, will go; and where
thou lodgest, [ will lodge, thy God Will
be my God; where thou dieSt, will l
die. andtherc will DO buried; the Lord
do so to me. and more also, if aught but
death part thee and me- We nay add
that fortune again smiled on the young
physician and that he subsequently, re-
turned to the South to wed the sweet
plrl he loved, and who loved him with
such uadying affection. Readers, this
| i, all true. Young ladies who read the
Bible as closely as the heroine of this
incident seems to have done are pretty
sure to make good swcethearts, and
better wives"

An Unexpected Meeting.

Twenty years ago, the daughter OF
Scotch farmer married ploughman in
her fathers service. The gentleman
was furious and turned his back deter
minedly on his son-in law. The young
ploughman kissed his wife, left her
IN her fathers arms aud sailed for
Australia, whence he soon ceased to
write. His vile became mother, and
remained in such state OF wretched
suspense that her father began 10 re-
peut of the treatment to which he had
subjected her husband. Efforts were
made to trace the whereabouts OF tue
latter By m eaus of advertising IN the
colonial papers and otherwise, but all to
no purpose. He had gone to America.
Years passed. The grandson grew up
to manhood, and, not liking farm " ork,
babe adleu to the old country and came
10 the new. After some knocking
about, he found employment in mer-
camille house in Illinois. In the course
Of business he discovered that the gen.
tleman at the head of the firm was a
native Of Scotland, hailiug indeed from
the same district as himself. Occasional
meetings led to more minute inquiries as
10 date, names of persons, places, and
the like in the old country, and after
beng six months in the establishment
the youth found-howeye wonderful II
may appear-he was actually serving
as a clerk with no other than his own
father! The effect of [ his discovery on
both may be left to the imagination o.
the reader. Father and son are now iu
Scotland. The man who went away
penniless ploughman but returns rich
has been welcomed with much emotion
by his venerable father-in.law, who is
still hale aud hearty, as well as by the
wife whom he left many years ago in
her youth and beauty, but who is now
mlddle.aged matron. After that, who
can say that the days OfrOmance have
eaded?

There was a pretty hubbub in society

Beauvray himself did his almost TO
