Tile gardener’s house is a pretty little building. The man is asober diligent man; he is in years: has a housewifely good creature of a wife. Content appears in tiie countenances of both: How happy must they be!

The gardens, vineyard, &c. arc beautifully laid out. The oraiisery is flourishing; every thing indeed is, that belongs to Sir Charles Grandison; alcove.-, little temples, seats, are erected at dill’erent points of view: the orcliard, lawns, and gras-walks, haveshee]) for gardeners; and the wiu)le being bounded only by sunk fences, the eye is carried to views that have no bounds.
