in the United States is usually understood a
collection of beds devoted to vegetables, useful
herbs ami small fruits. We do not deny that
many amateurs have established here flower
gardens which are more less beautiful and
that they have taken great interest and pride
in them; but these amateurs have been mostly
busy men who had no leisure for dabbng in

Gle, and driving by instinct at those races who
are different from the sleek, well-combed inhab-
itants OF the British Islands Between a bishop
and gypsy tinker Borrow would not have hesi-
tated for instant. He might subscribe TO
the tenets of the Church OF England and protest
when his orthodoxy was called in question; but
the tinker was his brother, and the superstitions
of the Children of Pharaoh were religion enough
for him when he had put a few miles OF rough
road between him and the city, and was fore
gathering with the dark-skinned band around
the fire in some secluded dingle. If Borrow
were modern man. alive to-day, with his lit
erary gifts he would probably be writing novels
or poems of revolt against social conventions.
Being what he was, the child of time which
felt the impact of the Napoeonic wars and
was accustomed to modes of travel and forms Of
amusement rougher by far than anything we
know he simply went out into the highways

style as il is understood by the Academy, it
a5ounds in rude strength, in a simple drectness

Borrow's atmosphere is his greatest triumph.
