Twickcnhan Grounds.

Every lover of gardens halls the poet Pope as a foremost member of the craft Though his grounds at Twickonham were of small dimensions, he contriycd, by the inspiration of his own flue taste and with the assistance of the two great profession al gardeners, Bridgman and Kent, and the advice of that brilliant paladin, Lord Peterborough to convert them into one or the pretticst gardens in England, and we owe to his example and his teaching thc abolition of the prim InonotonleS or the Dutch style and the popularity of thc DIG turesquo or natural stylo, generally known us landscape gardening.
 Pope's practice was not wholly free from defects, it is true, and of his dnsky groves and large lawn and cypress avenue he was not half SD proud us of the tunnel incrust- ed with shells and spars and bits or look ing glass, which he called his 'grotto !"

nanted Something American.

A young German girl sailed for the old country the other day on a visit to her parents. She had been my servant and had resided in this country about five years and saved up couple of hundred dollars. As soon as she had made all ar engagements to go back she began to col lect presents to take home to her family She wanted to show them what WIG had hero in America. So she went down on the Bowery, and in one of the jewelry auc- tion stores there bought a ladies' gold watch for $7.50 for her mother Tho watch would have been dear at $2 and she could have purchased much better one abroad for less than half the money. Thcn sho paid visit to a Sixth avenue china shop and invested several dollars in some very pretty pieces of china. When she got to her room and found that the china had been made ill Germany within few miles of her birthplace, she wept bit ter tears. She wanted something Amcri' can, and the china cost twice as much here. The next thing she did was to buy a silver watch for her little brother, and she found that was a Swiss watch. That made her angry, though the silver watch made in Geneva was a much more yalua- ble article than the auction gold affair from the Bowery. Then she bought a pretty dress pattern-to find from my wife that that was made in Vienna near where her parents now live. But she had reach ed her limit of purchases. Otherwise she was so crazy to take something back that was purely American that she would have bought blow, she said for her father, who is a farmer, and carried 1t over in her trunk-New York Herald.

ALONE.

I ask no answering eyes that turn to mine, No waiting face to brighten at my voice. I'd fear to have another bound to me, One step to echo mne to earth's dark verge. Some hour of need would find me faint and
 weak. My hand might fail; my dreaming heart for
 get dread the sting of those accusing eyes In the still morning of eternity. Alone, then, let me stand through this grim
 watch, Nor seek to hold another's heart in thrall; Else let my going hence by all unknown. My feet move trackless down the starry ways.

bate proceeds. Mr. Holman said to-day
