'V ' Level ofl the rlsei
And: till in the ravine; .
'Place trees of certain sizes ' '
With intervals between,.
Cut tbe elder bushes;
Smother out the brook;
Trample 'dawn the rushes
And straightcu every crook.
Build two-etosied; boxes— '
Hlsppno-unglo-dutch ;
Plant zinuius and phloxes,
Ocraniums ,nnd such. -
Lay a hard, smooth, paving, ;
Venerate the sod .... - i.

KILE CROOK. '
A bronze statue of Tadeusz Koscius/-
ko, Polish patriot" who in 1776 joined
with Gen. George Washington in the
crusade for American independence, wns
unveijcd on tho Boston ' Public Garden
off 10th' October. In the neighborhood
there are statues of William Ellery Chau-
ning, of Edwnrd Everett Hale, Wendell
PhillipB, George Washington and ' Col.
Thoinas Cass, yet none of these men,
eminent though they were in varied ser
vice; gave more to tho nation than the
foreign-horn patriot who saw tlio goal of
civic freedom a .matter exceeding national
horizons, a goal for which all humanity
must unceasingly work.
Judging by tlie size of a ballot paper
prepared at Louisville (America) for use
on 8th November, the voter's first reac
tion when he was tendered the sheet
may have been that officials were playing
a prank on him. The ballot, measuring
38 by 24 inches, is larger than the eon-
ventio'nal newspaper, and carries almost aa
much printing. The names of 170 State,
county nnd city candidates, representing
tho Democratic and Republican tickets,
appear, setting a precedent for oversized
ballots.
Many costly memorials have becti
erected to Nelson since his- death in the
hoc-, of victory, oue hundred and twenty-
two years ago. It is not commonly known,
however, saya tlio London "Daily Ex
press." that the tirst Nelson monument
was erected in Scotland before, the hero's
remains had ranched England. "Clacli
a Charadh, ' or "Stone of Eomcni-
brasipe," as the monument is called,
stands on a mound near Taynuilt railway
station, in Argyllshire! It is of unhewn
granite, about 12 feet high and 3 feet
broad. A slate tablet set in the stone
bears this inscription:—
To tho memory of Lord Kelson.
Tills stone whs erected by tho
Lorn Furnace workmen.
3805.
A , visitor some time afterwards added
the lines:—
An unhewn stone here bears our Iicio'b name,
Hold us bis genius, towering as his fume.
,Ko greater offering could tits metnorv crave
Tlian tlint which freemen offered to tlio brave."
