    tempted to kill . Hack at the c wooden soldier , ' and the taste for hewing will be harmlessly gratified- But to return . The Guelph wanted popularity , and he ordered that the public , whose money had paid for making the garden , should be admitted to walk in the garden . But he put lackeys at the gates to riddle the public as a brickmaker does the materials of his art , and the ill-dressed public , such as were

    not * respectable / were excluded . Those without the means of procuring fresh air , were the most studiously excluded from fresh air . The 4 respectables , ' the well-dressed , could not bear to inhale the same atmosphere with the ill-dressed ; and it would seem that it has never entered into the contemplation of those who rule , that the

    simplest mode of improving the poor people ' s taste in dress , as well as in other matters , would be to provide them with additional public walks , and all other matters tending to refine a coarse imagination . But come away , boy ; yonder closed garden named Buckingham , is not worth looking at ; it is , at best , like an unwholesome wood springing from an undrained bog .

    This is Regent Street . What a glorious view opens over the tree tops as you look towards the park . My boy , my boy ! thy deep set dark eye is lightening towards the distant hills . Thy taste is still true as it was in infancy , when thou wert not content to walk in the delicious green elastic grass , but wouldst roll in it , and bite it in wild joy , like the gamboling of a young greyhound . The hill , the wood , and the grass land , are more beautiful than the city , even when man

    ha 3 accomplished all that his art can bring to pass . But this is a pleasant street , boy , though much of its beauty consists in its animation . The architecture is vile enough , but that 3 tucco is more cleanly than bricks , and in order to appreciate it , thou must visit some of the close streets near the squares , wherein the aristocracy of the last

    generation were wont to dwell . Waterloo Place—Regent Street . The first was named after a piece of monstrous cruelty , of human slaughter , called a battle , wherein a number of legitimate tyrants succeeded after a severe struggle in vanquishing an illegitimate tyrant . And the English nation was absurd enough to pride itself , because much blood and treasure had thus been wasted ; because human

    beings had been slaughtered like bullocks , and a national debt had been swollen in amount . But the egregious delusion has passed away , and the ' hero of Waterloo , the drowner of men , ' has lived to be baited by the rabble in the public street , on the anniversary of the victory , now known amongst the common people as the field of ' blood and mud . * Bear this in thy memory , boy . The intoxication of evil deeds passes away , but the reverence for works of beneficence increases with time . Yonder square building on the right hand is worth thy

    notice . It is in good taste throughout , and well fitted for better purposes than those to which it is applied—collections of men without -women amongst them . It is called the Athenaeum Club-house , and literary people like to belong to it , in order that their merit may duly shine by being mingled together in a large mass , just as the cobbler ' s candle with two wicks , whose flames mingle , gives more light than two separate candles with the same joint amount of tallow . Bo / ! thou hast never yet seen a Litterateur . He is a kind of small
