Now, moddrh cfcrneteri^fj, s\lfih'^W hrtve, been established by all sister cities of our pretensions, are simply beautifnlly: improved parks.

Suitable and ample grounds,are selected, then a competent landscape giardener laVs them off in winding drives and serpentine walks, every curve of wbifch is 'a line of beauty, and there is no filling ifp of lots building fences or planting shrubs, except under the direction t)f the sUptrifitferidettt1 gardener in charge.

Jly this means everything is kept in perfect taste, and presents that aspect-of lieauty which every one so mucli desfres for tile home Of the dfead., "Spring Grove," at Clnclhnatl, ,itas the first cemetery improved on the park plafr,' and from it all the others have been riiodeled. It is one of the most loVelj^ rind at^ tractive places in the World' "Whether the enterprise ir Sitfdertrfken' by the dity, or a company, it should be done Witliout delays' f?

If 40 or GO persons wB'ild f6'i%i a'ebmpany, and buy in a proper locality 80 or4O acres of land and properly improve it for a pemetery, they would do themselves a beneflt and the community a favor. Such an enterprise would be a godd pecuniary iirvestmenti 1 -V'h N«

Many persons' are declining to ek'edf monuments in th^ old grounds, expecting to remove the remains of friends toithe new cemetery whenever it shall be ready.

Therefore, I am in favor of a park aild cemetery combined, which only means: qemetery. -1

I will say further thai I am hrftivor of a park In the ordinary sense of the term, and in favor of the city moving at Once in the matter!

In Sunday's Express Mr P.. ro divided into three my remarks at the horticultural meeting,

intimates that I favored a park and ceme-

It wais laid out originally with a tape line, according to the'"onion bed" style of landscape gardening, and the lots have been raised, sodded, fenced and improved in accordance with a great diversity 6f tastes, none of wlii,ch have been very good. In this I do not speak of the monuments. There are a great many very beautiful and artistic memorials in the grounds, and placed in a new cemetery would be appreciated and admired. Aside from the monuments, it resembles ori a large scale the desolate bramble patches which Wte sometimes observe fn the country, calhid grave yards.

It sometimes happens that you cannot possibly wiu or save the game unless dite particular card is in your partner's hand. You litust then play as if certain that It is there, and.this requires, of course, reason, and no rule can bear uoon so many varied cases. As an example I

A VJIVID IMAGINATION.—When

Samuel

Taylor Coleridge, the poet, was a poor boy and a charity scholar in London, he was one day Walking along the Strand, 4&an hour when the place was crowded, and was throwing out his arms vigorously toward the right and the left. One of his hands came in contact with a gentleman's waistcoat pocket, and the man immediately accused the boy of thieving- intentions. "No," said Coleridge, "I am not intending to pick your pocket. I am swimming the Hellespont. This morning in school I read the story of Hero ana Leander, and

am now

imitating the latter as he swims from Afiia to Europe." The gentleman was so much impressed by the vividness of the imagination of the lad that he subscribed for Coleridge's admiasioo to a public library, whim began the poet's

Neglect of tho Eye. !h'ili,,. '!(a

Whatever an ounce of preventive may, 6e to the other members of tho body, ft certainly is worth many pounds of cure' to the eye. Like a chronometer watch, this delicate organ will stand any amount .of use, not to say abuse, but when once thrown off its balance it can very rarely be brought back to its original perfeii-p tion of action, or, if it is, it beepmes ever liable to a return of disability of functwn, or the seat of actual disease. Ono would have supposed from this fact, and from the fact that modern civilization has imposed upon thei eye an ever-in-creasing amount of strain, both as to tlie +1 actual quantify of work done, and the constantly increasing brilliancy and dnr-' ation of the illumination under which it ia performed, that the greatest pains would have been exercised In maintain^ ing the organ in a condition of liealth! and the greatest care and solicitude useu.... in its treatment when diS6asfed.

Contracted while, the eye, the most in* tellectual, the most apprehensive, anul

the most discriminating of all our organs, receives not evejn a pacing thouglit, much less an examination. It never seems to occur to the parents that the principal ag6nt in a child's education is the eye that through it, it gains not only its sense of the methods and ways, of existence^ of otheiwj but trven tfnr means for the maintenancesof its own nor does it occur to the parents for an instant that many of the mental as well as bodily attributes of a growing 1 child are ftinhionedj even-if they are not created, by the conuitioupf the eye alone.

A child is put to school without the slightest inquiry on the part of the pA-^ rent, and much less on the part of thii teacher, whether it has Mie normal amount of sight whether it sees objects sharply and well-defined^ or indis-" tinctly ancf distorted whether it bo nearsighted or far-sighted whether it sees with one or two eyes or. finally, if it does see, clearly or aistincuy lietiunuii~ is not using a quantity of nervous force sufficient, after a time, ndt only to exh*ust the energy of the visual organ, bufr%, of the nervous system at large.

And yet it is safe to say that there is no organ in the body the welfare' of/ which is so persistently neglected as the1 eye.
