OUR NORTH RIVER.


HYDE pEPAaK.-AMarylande who is travelling
over our State gives the following picture OF
Hyde Park, In the Baltimore armef.


With view to examine some of the farms
and country seats upon the banks OF the Huo-
son, spent day at Hyde Park, and was de-
lighted, not only with the chasm~ OF oature, but
also with The refnelnents OF society ana the
spi ii Of hospitality, prevailing among the In
bahitants of this rich and beautiful region
The scenery will sustain comparison with
the finest specimen Of English landscape
passed bright afternoon N rambling over the
grounds which belonged to the late Doctor
Bard and have recently been purchased by
DR.. Hosack Of New York. They comprise
tract Of 700 acres, bounded on the west by
sThe noble North, and extending back mile
or more into the fertile county Of Duchess
From the beautiful lawn in font Of the man
sion and the neighbouring cottage, the vie"
reaches on one hand 10 the blue summlts ot
the Catskll, and on the other to the highlands,
in the vicinity Of West Point. The Hudson,
with its green and rural shores, Is visible ior
the distance of twenty miles, An almost en-
dless variety of venerable forest trees give
shade and beauty to the landscape, throogn
I
noisy as the Arno itself filling the hanging
gardens and groves on its borders with muir
murs. On the sunny decivity, sloping to this
ripe water melons, some Of them weighing for
ty pounds EACH Fruits and flowers of all


kinds are rich and abundant. The woods are


vocal with the song of birds, and the squirrel


frequently crossed my winding and tangled
II ~
fountains gush from the bank of the river at
fording plentiful supply of the best water
The present enterprlslng proprietor OF thl'


farm has but lust commenced his system o
: improvements With his wealth, he will


doubtless render it still more than it now is
terrestrial paradise.


Not far from the splendid grounds of DIR
: Hosack, is the residence of DR.. Allen, the ce


lebrity ofwhose classical institution has sprea'
n throughout the country and attracted student
from distant states. His stately mansion Is 81
? tuated in the midst Of lawn of eighty acres
i intersected by avenues and winding walk


bordered with ornamental trees. From til


window Of the library the eye ranges dow
v the banks of the Hudson for a distance OF TWEEN
y ty five or thirty miles. and reposes upon tn


picturesque scenery on the opposite shore
= Here are porches and halls of science, conse
h, Grated as the Peclle, shades deep and class


cal as the groves of Academus, and water


brighter than the Ilissus. The learned pre-
ID prietor, as he himself remarked to me, belong
OF emphaticalIy to the peripatetic school of ph
.. losopey. His hours of relaxation from stud
are frequently employed in walking throug
E. the fields with his pupils, conversing familia
IN ly on what thay have read, and at the sam
time enjoying the beauties of nature. All h
y scholars are inmates of his roof, and treated ;
" the members Of one family.
