odorous wood-bines, and almoſt every other aromatic“ ſhrub; among which, with the bet contrived apparent neglience, are interſperſed the aukward ſags horn, the weeping willow, and al- moſt every other tree and ſhrub, that this or any other ſoil has produced. i

And the heads of theſe ſhady trees and humble ſhrubs, both natives and exotics, riſe gradually one above another, the farther they ſtand from the health-improving gravelly wälk, and exhibit their inexpreſkibly beauteous foliage, to pleaſe the g2zing eye of every beholder./ PAS

And on the moſt conſpicuous brinks of the bordérs,- near the well rolled walk, ſtand fragrant carnartions, perfumed pinks, and variegated tulips, with almoſt every other ſpecies of gay tinged flowers, that emit their fragrant odours, or unfold their varie- gated beauties, in every clime.

And among ſome of theſe beautified parts of creation, flowing ſtreams meander in purling rills, which ſometimes tall in muſical caſcades, and mingle their fonorous ſounds with the warbling

_ gay plumed choriſters, that perch on the over-hanging bend ing ſhady boughs, and ſwell the mellifluous chorus through woods, and groves, ad‘lawns, with» the fineſt vernal muſic, which ſeldom fails, to chace ſorrow from the troubled breaſt.

While the gently riſing hills and elegantly declining vales, formed into fertilé fruitful fields, covered with the richeſt wavy corn, or clothed with verdant flowery herbage, enrich the ſcene. Where.nature has pourtrayed her beauteous carpet, and prepared

: the richeſt repaft for the majeftic horſe, fine flavoured ox, graz- ing kine, life-ſupporting ſheèp, playful lambkins, with almoſt every domeſtic animal that pleaſes the gazing eye, and delights

the meditating* mind, while it contemplates on theſe invaluable donations of the munificent Creator; and almoſt always, raiſes rapturous ſenſations in every virtucus heart, while it views the grand diverſified ſcene, either through the well contrived vifa!l glade, or ſurveys ict all along the pictureſque, ornamental, grand, majeſtic, landſcape.
