Most of the leading Hotels in the City, at the prueent day, have coaches or carriages belonging to their several establishments, which are in attendance, usually, at the stations, on the arrival of cars, &c., in Boston. We give below the names and location of several of the Public Houses in town, some of which we shall have occasion to mention more at length in other portions of the "GUIDE." PRINCIPAL HOTELS. PARKER HOUSE, School Street. REVERE HOUSE, Bowdoin Square. TREMONT HOUSE, corner Tremont and Beacon Str6ets. AMFRICAN HOUSE, Hanover, near Court Street.

THE casual visitor or temporary sojourner in the METROPOLIS OF NEW ENGLAND, on his arrival in the city, feels the necessity of a IHAND-BOOK, or GUIDE, upon reference to which he may be able to learn - however briefly it may be - in what direction to turn his steps to reach the particular location he may hare occasion to visit; and it is the aim of this little publication to set forth an accurate general description of the prominent places of interest in and around Boston, the routes leading through the city, and to the towns in the vicinity, with directions pointing to public buildings, popular drives, places of resort, hotels, churches, theatres, &c., &c., the whole being intended to supply, in a concise and cheap form, a want long felt by strangers who visit Boston upon pleasure or business. In order to systematize this information, some central starting-point must be chosen, fi-om which the traveller may readily turn in any desired direction, to "see the sights' of the town, and M. R.

The termini of most of the HORSE RAILROADS running through Boston being near the head of Tremont Row, or at the junction of Court Street with Tremont Street and Cornhill, we have chosen our starting-place at the point known as Scollay's Building. At this place, the horse-cars from Roxbury, East Boston, South Boston, Charlestown, and Chelsea, - Norfolk House line, Warren Street, Mount Pleasant, Tremont Road, and Oak Street, - arrive and depart every few minutes during the day and evening; and at this general "station" of these roads (the "office" being in the basement of Scollay's Building, east), there is in constant attendance an employc of the roads, who announces from time to time, as they come and go, the direction and place to which each car is destined. This arrangement is an excellent one, and obviates much of the former needful but annoying inquiry as to when and where the cars go to. All that is now necessary for the stranger in Boston to do, who desires to reach either of the points above named, is to find his way to our place of starting-" Scoll!y's Building "- and from thence, at any hour of the day or evening, he will find conveyance in first-class cars, attended bvy gentlemanly conductors, over good roads, to his destination, at a cost of a few cents for the trip.

This street runs directly from the north side of Scollay's Building to Dock Square, by the lower end of Washington Street, and is occupied mainly with the publishing houses of the Massachusetts Bible Society, Sunday Scl(;ol Union, New-England Universalist Publishing House, Methodist Book Concern, American Education Society, Home and Foreign Missionary'Rooms, Massachusetts Sabbath School and kindred Associations, Religious Newspaper offices, Zion's Herald, Boston Recorder, Congregationalist, numerous Bookstores, Sunday School Depository, Trumpet Office, Rand & Avery's, and other Printing and Publishing Establishments of prominence, while two or three of the most extensive and elegant Furniture Warehouses in town are also found in this thoroughfare. The friends of the Missionary cause, and of Sabbath Schools, Religious Teachers, &c., meet and exchange views at the offices of the institutions above enumerated, and the Cornhill of to-day is one of the leading business quarters of central Boston. From Scollay's Building, if the stranger moves up Tremont Street (south-west), near by, on the left, will be found the Boston Museum, A fine large granite-front building, - with its hundred outside globes of gas-light at night,- the interior of The Peruvian Syrup, A1 IPRON TONIC, MAKES THE WEAK STRONG. Cures Dyspepsia, Debility, Dropsy, &c. CAUTION.-All genuine has the name" PERUVIAN SYRUP " (not" Peruvian Bark ") blown in the glass. A thirty-two page pamphlet sent free. J. P.

I 7 8 THE ST,A4NGE.R'S NEWV GUIDE which is filled with an immense collection of curiosties,- animals, birds, fish, reptiles, pictures, statuary, &c.,- gathered from all parts of the world, and forming a rare object of interest to the stranger in Boston. There is a performance upon the stage of this establishment, nightly, and on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, by a company always of the first class in the profession; and visitors from abroad will always find the MUSEUM a most acceptable place for instruction and amusement. Beyond, -at the corner of Tremont and School Streets, - stands the old graystone church, known as ]King's Chapel, Built of "granite," gathered where it could be most conveniently found at the time it was erected (some years before the now famous Quincy quarry was in operation), without regard to color or finish. Still a venerable and substantial pile, in whose vaulted tombs, near by, lie the ashes of many distinguished men of Boston, of the olden time. Directly below this famous old church, on the left, stands the new City Hall, Fronting upon School Street; a magnificent building of itself, though not so fortunately located as might seem desirable for so expensive and so fine a structure. This building, of New-Hampshire granite, was WM. E. BRIGHT & CAPEN, Importers of and Dealers in 328 & 330 Washington St., . E. Bright, (Opposite the Adams House.) S. B. Capen, BOSTON. I THROUGH BOSTON AND VICLIVITY. completed late in the year 1865, and is an ornament to the neighborhood. The interior coitains apartments for the Mayor and Aldermen, Common Council, several Court Rooms, and the offices of other city officials, and is a triumph in modern architecture, as well for its classical beauty and economy, as for its convenience and substantial character. Upon the left of the front entrance, on its ornamental pedestal, stands the bronze statue of Franklin, a superior and iuteresting work of art. Directly opposite City Hall, is the world-fmed Parker House, School Street, An elegant edifice, of pure white marble, and one of the foremost hotels in this country. The "Parker House" is too well known to need a single word in its commendation. It is conducted upon the European plan, is lavishly furnished, is an establishment of the very first class, in its way, and we simply direct the strander in Boston where it stands, assured, that,when once he visits this fine house, he will not soon forget its location, or the princely management and hospitality of its long-time conductors. Just below, opposite this house, is Niles' Block, a large and handsome building, containing numerous lawyers' offices. Opposite is a large freestone building, the Boston FiveCents Savings Bank, one of the most successful Institutions of the kind in the city; and just below, on the same side is the Universalist COhurch (formerly H.

Back again, u School Street, to Tremont Street, upon the corner of Beacon Street, stands the well-known and ever popular Tremont House, Another fine granite hotel, of the first class, for more than thirty years the resort of the bon vivants of this and foreign countries, and still keeping up its wellearned reputation as one of the leading hotels in America. Directly opposite this fine public house, on Tremont Street (upon the site of the old Tremont Theatre), stands Tremont Temple, A large freestone-front edifice, in which is the great hall (capable of accommodating 3000 persons) used for devotional and other public services, parts of the building being occupied by the "Young Men's Christian Association," and sundry other offices, above, while underneath (entrance from Tremont Street), is the lesser hall, known as the "MEIONION," also used for public lectures, exhibitions, &c. Still on the left, fronting upon Tremont Street, beyond the "Temple," is erected (in 1865) on the site of the late "Montgomery House," the beautiful structure known as the new EHorticultural Building. This superb piece of architecture was built by the "Massachusetts Horticultural Society," and is, perhaps, CALKIN S & G O O DWINX, 136 WVASHINGTON STREET, Directly opposite School Street (up stairs), Boston.

It is of dressed granite, chaste and elegant in proportions, beautiful in finish, and( massive in exterior. The meetings and public exhibitions of the Society are held in its large and convenient halls, whibch are well lighted on three sides, the building occupying the whole space between Bromfield Street and Montgomery Place, fronting on Tremont Street. Old Granary Burial Ground, With its long frontage of lordly elms, a beautiful square of ground, studded with hundreds of ancient trees, and many monuments, among the latter a prominent obelisk, over the graves of the parents of 'IRANKLIN; and beneath whose quiet and luxurious green rest the remains of many other leading, earl)y residents of this city. New "Studio Building," on the corner of Bromfield, fronting on Tremont Stieet, - a massive range of brick, four stories high, -the whole surmounted by a French roof; a handsome and imposing structure, in the lower story of which are six fine large stores, occupied by the Leavitt and Parker Sewing-Machline Cos., California Wine Agency, the Howard Clock Co., &c.; and, above-stairs, by numerous artists, painters, engravers, draughtsmen, &c. Opposite, beyond the Burial-ground, stands Sewing Machines of all kinds, FOR SALE AND REPAIRED. Special attention is called to the Improved (A. B.) Howe at $60, and the Parker $30 machines. - At the Sewing Machine Exchange, 106 T,'emont Street, 2d door South of Bromfield. ii I I 12 THE STRANGER'S NE W GUIDE Park-Street Church, One of the first and foremost of religious edifices in Boston,- belonging to the Orthodox Society,- a capacious brick building, whose spire (one of the "landniarks" as you approach the city from the west or south) is the highest in Boston. Nearly opposite this church is the splendid new bookstore and publishing house of MIessrs. Ticknor & Fields; and, facing south-westward, we look upon our own Boston Common, That spacious and beautiful park, of the attractions of which Bostonians are so justly and so laudably proud. Its walks are flanked by grateful shade-trees; in the ancienrrt " Frog Pond" there is established a splendid fountain; near by stands the famous " Old Elm," wlieh has, as yet, bravely withstood the winds and storms of more than two centuries, though a few years since it was partially shattered. The broad and beautiful malls, on all sides, are most inviting to thio pedestrian; and all classes, in summer or winter, here, at will, enjoy the pleasant shadows and invigorating breezes without let or hindrance, so long as they obev the oft-occurring mandate of policeman and signboard to 1"I'EEP OFF TIIE GRASS."

Boston. i l Il i I t, THROUGH BOSTON AND VICINITY. 13 The Public Garden, Occupying about twenty acres, and very prettily arranged with walks, artificial ponds, parterres of shrubs and flowers, numerous fountains, and a fine conservatory. The Public Garden is a very attractive and pleasant retreat. The distance around its outside lines is four thousand two hundred feet (over threefourths of a mile); and strangers will,find it worth their while to visit it, as well as to enjoy a stroll through the magnificent avenues, and among the superb rows of costly dwellings which flank this handsome spot, southward, upon the newly-made lands of the Commonwealth, formerly the ",Back Bay." The fine Stone Church, over which presides the Rev. Dr. Huntington, and the Church of the former "Federal-Street Society," are both conspicuous upon this recently finished part of Boston; and quite in sight is also the spacious Depot of the Providence Railroad Company, corner of Pleasant Street. Recrossing the Garden, towards Tremont, a brief walk brings us to The Public Library of Boston, Located on Boylston Street, a short distance eastward from the Public Garden, and emphatically one of the most useful as well as ornamental institutions of which our city can boast. The building itself is of brick, the style modern and elegant, and the interior is fitted Homoeopathic Books and Medicines.

The cost of this structure was about a quarter of a million of dollars. It has now been completed and in operation about ten years; and the library contains 125,000 volumes, from which, without charge, one book per day can be had by the residents of Boston, upon complying with the simple "Rules" of the institution. The architecture of the Boston Library is very chaste; and a visit to the building-will gratify every lover of the beautiful in art and literature. The New Masonic Temple, &c. Leaving the Public Library, and turning to the right we pass the ancient Burial Ground, at the southeasterly corner of the Common, and Hotel Pelham, at the corner of Tremont and Boylston Streets, and reach the site of the late "Winthrop House" (recently destroyed by fire), at the north-easterly corner of Tremont and Boylston Streets. This beautiful location is now owned by the Massachusetts Grand Lodge of ilasons, upon which is to be erected, at once, a magnificent TEMPLE, to be devoted to the uses of the Grand Lodge, Encampments, Chapters, and Lodges of the Masonic Fraternity of the State; and which, when completed, will be the most superb specimen of architectural beauty and grandeur in this Commonwealth. From this point, proceeding down the easterly mall of the Common, we pass along WILLIAM V. SPENCER, Publisher and Bookseller. Miscellaneous Books for sale at low prices. Constantly on hand, all published Plays, suitable for reading, public or private performance. Parish, Social, and Sunday-school Libraries supplied on most liberal terms. Call or send orders to 203 Washington St., Corner of Bromfeld (up stairs), BOSTON. I I 'T THROUGH BOSTONV AND VICINITY. 15 Colonnade Row, A long range of handsome four-story brick dwellings, twenty-four in number (built in 1811), which, in former years, have been the quiet and beautiful homes of many of the wealthy residents of Boston; but which, upon this street, at the present writing, are fast giving way, block by block, to the "march of improvement," and, with the horse-cars in front, and the numerous stores that are now being established here, almost from month to month, this hitherto sedate and handsome neighborhood is being rapidly converted into what, in a few years at farthest, must prove one of the busiest and noisiest thoroughfares in the heart of the city. Approaching the head of Winter Street, we observe St. Paul's Church, Facing the Common, between Winter and West Streets. This edifice was finished in 1820, and is built of gray granite, Grecian in style, of the Ionic order. It is 112 feet long, by 72 wide, and about 40 feet high. A handsome columned portico, 32 feet high, graces its front, the pillars being of Potomac sandstone. It is furnished with a fine organ, of superior tone; and beneath its floor are several tombs, so admirably constructed as to obviate all objections to the interring of the dead beneath the ehurch. This is a classical structure that has withstood the test of time, BENJAMIN NOYES, Dealer in Coal, Bricks, Chimnney Tops, DRAIN PIPE, PATENT FIRE KINDLIN(}S, &c., &C., MECHANICS' EXCHANGE, No. 22, State Street........ Boston. 16 THE STRANGER'S NEW GUIDE and is still an attractive though rather sombre building, of the very first class of substantial beauty. Masonic Temple. Adjoining St. Paul's, stands the handsome granite building known as the old.lasonic Temple, built and originally occupied by the Masonic Lodges here; afterwards, for a time, by Jonas Chickering's Piano forte Rooms; and, at present, by the United-States District Court, and officers for the United-States Dis trict of Massachusetts. A substantial edifice, of fine proportions and great beauty. If, on leaving the Public Garden, we pass up along Beacon Street (or north) mall, on arriving at the up per corner of the Common, we see, upon its elevated eminence, "' Beacon Hill," the Massachusetts State-House. This noble pile can also be reached from Tremont, directly up Park Street. The building faces the Common (eastward), in front of which, right and left, stand the bronze statues of Daniel Webster and Horace Mann. The visitor will greatly enjoy the fine view afforded of the city and its suburbs from the cupola, -a gratification which no stranger should deny himself. In the rotunda, below, are now exhibited hundreds of battle-torn flags, brought back from the fields of recent strife, and which were borne by brave JAMES P.

The headquarters of the Governor ai(nd Council, and the offices of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts, the Quartermaster and Commissary-General of the Commonwealth, the Surgeon-General, the Treasurer, and other State dignitaries, are in this capacious building. The Old Hancock Estate. On the west side of the State-House (Beacon Street), until within a few months, stood the ancient and memorable "Hancock House," a sturdy old stone mansion, formerly owned and occupied by the eminent patriot, JOHN HANCOCK, and afterwards by his heirs. This famous structure has now been demolished; and two splendid brown-stone mansions are erected on the site, at a cost of near half a million of dollars. The place which knew that princely old homestead so long will now know it no more, forever! Leaving the StateHouse, and passing down Beacon Street a short distance below, near the opposite corner, will be found the "CLUB-HOUSE," a fine residence, memorable for having been the headquarters of General Lafayette during his visit to Boston. Just beyond, on Beacon Street, is the Boston Athenaum Building, a "brown-stone front," of ample dimensions, containing an interesting collection of pictures THE NURSERY, A l1onthly Magazine for Youngest Readers.

Passing on, down Beacon, across Tremont (eastward), down through School Street, brings us to the great central thoroiughfare of Boston, Wavshington Street. Turning to the left, just below the foot of School Street, on the right, we pass the fine new buildings and offices of the "BOSTON JOURNAL," the "EVENING TRANSCRIPT," the EASTERN, and HARNDEN'S EXPRESS; and, on the left, again, are seen the premises of the "DAILY HERALD." A few rods farther on, brings us to JoY's Building, filled with lawyers' offices; in the rear of which is YOUNG'S famous " Cornhill Coffee-House," a fine restaurant, and very handsome lodging-house; and immediately opposite, we come to State Street, at the head of which stands The Old State-House, An ancient brick building, of a model deemed "graceful" more than a century ago, and which served, a hundred years since, the purposes of the hall of legislation for the " Great and General Court of Massachusetts."

A "LADIES' Department," from which only letters addressed to the gentler sex are delivered, is, to females, a great convenience here. The building is a costly one, and the Exchange is one of the "institutions" of Boston. Passing down this fine broad avenue (originally called King-street, and memorable for the "King-Street slaughter" of the Revolution), at the foot of State Street, we reach The Boston Custom-HIlouse. This is another immense granite structure, erected by the United-States Government, and completed some fifteen years since, for the use and convenience of the United-States Sub-Treasurer, the Collector, Naval Officer, Surveyor; and subordinates of the "District of Boston and Charlestown." It is a large and imposing building, from the roof of which strangers can obtain a fine view of the harbor and bay in a clear day.

Passing northward, from the CustomHouse, a short distance along Commercial Street, brings us to the lower end of Quincy Market, A long range of granite, running over five hundred feet from MIerchants' Row (front) to Commercial Street (rear), flanked on either side by North and South Market Streets. This fine market (though deemed to some extent a "monopoly") is the best building for its uses in the United States; and, as a market-house where every thing desirable and seasonable is to be obtained, it has no equal, short of the noted good markets of Philadelphia.

Its front entrance, however, is upon Merchants' Row (east). This estate is built of brick, square in form, is surmounted by a low cupola, or spire, with a gilded grasshopper fbr a vane, and is lighted upon all sides from small but numerous windows. It was a gift from Peter Faneuil to the town of Boston, and is under the control of the City Government.

This fine old church has, at ifferent times, been presided over by Hon. Edward Everett, Rev. Peter Thacher, &c., and latterly by Rev. S. K. Lathrop. In the rear of this church, on Brattle Street, is the City Hotel. Opposite, at the corner of Brattle Square (so called), is the Quincy House. A moderate-priced and excellent hotel, which is always well filled with guests from the towns near and around Boston. Up Brattle Street, on the right, above the Quincy House, are located several very good "Restaurants for Ladies and Gentlemen" tarrying temporarily in town; and a short distance beyond, we arrive once more at our original starting-place,"Scollay's Building,"- near the head of Brattle, on Court Street and Tremont Row.

Directly beyond this building, stands the Suffolk County Court-House, Still another granite square, in which are at present held the United-States, the State, County City, Police, and Probate Courts. This structure is one hundred and eighty-five feet long, by about fifty feet wide, occupying the space between the two entrances of Court Square, out of Court Street. In the basement, is the City Lock-up, known as the "Tombs." In the rear of the Court House are the offices occupied by the Suffolk-County Register, and on the left (in Court Square), stands "AIlassachusetts Block" and "Barristers' Hall," two large brick buildings filled withl lawyers' offices, the "Hancock House," &c.; while upon the lower floor of these ranges are found the Express Offices of Wells, Fargo & Co., Cheney & Co., CURTIS DAVIS, Soap Manufacturer, No. 65, Chatham Street, BOSTON. r !

It is occupied by Banks, Insurance offices, Treasurers of Corporations, and the Trustees of the Sears Estate. This is one of the most imposing edifices erected ill the business portion of the city, and is a fitting monument to the memory of the man whose name it bears. Returning again to Scollay's Building (where all the horse-cars centre on arriving at the end of their respective routes from Roxbury, Charlestown, &c.), we will now conduct the visiter westward. Leaving the horse-cars station, we pass along the "Tremont Row" of fine dry-goods, millinery, and other stores, to opposite the head of Hanover Street, where is established the splendid and spacious Saloon of Charles Copeland, No. 4 Tremont Row.

Proceeding on through Tremont Row, we bear to the left, a few doors west of Copeland's, and enter Howard Street, where we may readily find the pretty, dosy, pleasant "Howard Atheneum," The coolest theatre in summer, and one of the snuggest and warmest in winter, in Boston. The "Howard" is now in the full tide of success; and its boxes and seats are filled with discriminating audiences, who can appreciate good acting, and continuous effort to please. The management is at present in enterprising hands, and the production there of a constant succession of novelties entitles this establishment to its full share of popular favor. Passing around to Court Street again, and still westward, we shortly reach Bowdoin Square, on the right of which is the "Cooledge House," a massive granite hotel, and on the left, fionting the square, stands the famous Revere House.

Those running to the other points above named, pass through Cambridge Street, over Cambridge Bridge. The West End, Jail, &c. Among the points of interest at the westerly side of the city, distant half to three-quarters of a mile from Scollay's Building, is the Suffolk-County Jail, on Charles Street, north of Cambridge Street, fronting upon the water.

It contains the fine "Warren Anatomical Cabinet," many excellent models, manikins, and other valuable surgical apparatus; and a valuable medical library belongs to the college. The " laboratory" is memorable as the spot where Dr. Webster (a former professor in Harvard University) had the fatal altercation with, resulting in the death of, Dr. Parkman of Boston. Just south of Cambridge Street, a few rods from the County Jail, is situated the Eye and Ear Infirmary, Occupying a brick building on Charles Street, sixtyfive feet front by forty in depth, an institution devoted entirely to the benefit of the poor and unfortunate, and no fees are accepted for services or aid rendered in this excellent establishment.

Country applicants may app!y in writing; other applications can be made, daily, in the morning, except in urgent cases of sudden accidents, &c., when patients are at once admitted. Visitors are not admitted inside, without special permits from the Trustees. Along the line from Cambridge Street to Leverett Street, upon the water side, great improvements have been made, latterly; and the "West End" can now boast of many fine houses and blocks erected within a few years, greatly enhancing the value of property there.

From Court Street, northward, down Hanover, towards what is familiarly termed the " North End" of the city, the way is lined with dry-goods and fancy-goods stores, which are very liberally patronized, always, by strangers in Boston, from the fact, that, while the proprietors of these establishments keep up goodly assortments and qualities of their varied goods, their rents and current expenses are comparatively much less than are those of the more costly "up-town" stores; and they are thus able to sell their wares at such rates as always to draw crowds of patrons from abroad to this popular and busy "shopping" quarter.

A quarter of a mile above Dover Street, we come to BLACKSTONE and FRANKLIN SQUA1t1S (one on each side of this broad avenue), open rasse(l lots, of generous dimensions, flanked by fine rVows of handsome private dwellinTs, eachl square being suiriounded by a handsome iron fen(ce, and ornamented by a large fountain (supplied by the Cochituate wate) in the centre.

On the right of the Neck, across Shawmut Avenue, run several very handsome new streets, westward, on which are located pretty open squares, as "Cltester Park," " Union Park," "Worcester Square," &c., surrounded by substantial residences, and occupied by many leading residents of Boston. Having nowv reached the outskirts, we will recommend briefly A DRIVE TIIROUGH St. James Hotel. This new. and elegant Hotel has recently been erected on Franklin Square.

BOSTON HIGHILANDS are two and a half miles from the centre of Boston.

IVe will pass up Washington Street, and, just over the "line," turn off at the burial-ground, into Eustis Street. Thence, over Mount Pleasant (towards Dorchester), the roads are smooth and even, and the eye is continuously greeted with beautiful residences and cottages, with their tasteful gardens, greenhouses, borders, and flower-plats. Passing over "Mount Pleasant," to the right, a few rods from Dorchester Brook, may be seen the once elegant gardens of the late Hon. Samuel Walker, an old resident there, who, in a long life of general usefulness, exhibited a fine taste and a deep love for the beautiful in horticulture and floriculture. A short distance farther on, and just at the Dorchester " line," upon Eustis Street, are the spacious grounds and the aristocratic pile known as the Gov. Eustis Estate. This fine old place was the former residence of Governor Eustis, and wvas occupied by hi-s venerable and universally- respea ted consort until hei recent (edo C FASO-IIOAE CLIT,E CUSTOM-MADE CLOTHING, BY FREEMAN, CAREY & CO., 155 & 157 WASHINGTON STREET, OPPOSITE THE OLD SOUTH CHURCH. 7fli'f OU(.il l,0',.,'TON 4AX X,s (lIX TY. 63 (leAc:t in 186SG5.

Of late years the premises have been neglected, and are now out of repair; but the house is a fine one, and with its extensive grounds reminds the visitor of the "good old times" in our local history. Alone the road to " Dorchester Corners" are several magnificent dwellings and expensive villas, a view of wlhich will well repay the trouble of this trip. We can only glance at these lovely places, as we move on; for we must turn abruptly to the right, and ride westward, by finely cultivatcd estates, over a quiet but still excellent road, past more pretty rural residences, and( over a cross-way, still south-west, when we shail come in view of Forest-Hills Cemetery.

And here we are, at the entrance of this lovely retreat and quiet "home for the departed," having entered the wide smooth avenue leading to the cemetery from the westerly approach. The gateway is formidable, at least one hundred and fifty feet in width, and we pass under the grand por tico of Egyptian architecture, and are within the lim its of these beautifully planned and decorated grounds. The cemetery is laid out with wide walks and avenues, running through and around and over vale or dell or hill, in the most artistic and picturesque style; and its rare natural scenery, worked up as it now is by the aid of art and good taste, renders this spot one of the loveliest, for its purposes, yet fashioned or improved by nature, or the hand of man. But the stranger must see their beauties with his own eyes to appreciate them. We leave this lovely place, with its rich and costly monuments, its placid lakes and shadowy groves, its stately trees and velvety lawns, its birds anid blossoms, its rocks and its bowers, and turn down the wid(le av enue that leads away toward "Grove Hall," a fine old place, surrounded by a heavy grove of ancient trees, and formerly quite a public resort, but at p1)esent in private bands; and thence northward, oer a ranite-finished(l roa(l, toward the centre and wvesterl) porition of Roxbuiv.

From the latter, for many years, a portion of Boston was supplied with water, by the "Jamaica-Pond Aqueduct Company," the water being brought~ into the city through wooden tubes. The pond itself is very pretty, but not a large one, and its banks are skirted with some of the most costly and elegant cottages and villas in New England. In the winter season, this spot is a popular skating-ground for young ladies and gentlemuen from the city, who gather in great numbers here to enjoy this recently declared "fashionable" amusement of both sexes. We ride entirely round the pond, and a most enjoyable ride it is, too, and come out by the western streets into Brookline.

The road leading to and beyond this famous hotel, from College Square, is a broad level way, always kept in perfect repair, and along its entire length are erected some of the most costly and elegant suburban residences in America. In the immediate vicinity are the Cambridge Trotting Park (a nicely planned and well-cond(lucted racetrack), " Spy Pond," and the Spy-Pond Hot(el (places much frequented in former years); and the fine thrms, handsome estates, substantial mansions, and elaborate cottages that line the way, in all directions, here, render the ride over this road one of the most popular in this region of country, in sumner or winter. If the visitor have the leisure, he may continue on upon this road (or he can go thither by Fitchburgi Railroad from Boston) to Lexington, eleven miles fiom the city, and Concord (six miles farther),- both historic places, with their revolutionary traditions and memories, their MONUMIENTS to the brave and stubborn resistants to British aggression, with their lovely environs.

" Riverside Trotting Park," about thiree miles firom town, can be reached via the Westeirn Av enue, over a smooth, even, and beaultiful road. The Brighton horse-cars also take passengers direct to the Tra(k, running from the Boston station during the day at brief intervals.

Returning to town once more, tbe stranger will be gratified by a visit to the City of Charlestown, Whither the horse-cars run every few minutes throughout the day. This place is connected with Boston by the (old) Charlestown and the (new) Warren Bridges. A leading object of interest here is Btunker Hill, with its famous "MONUMENT," of solid Quincy granite, 220 feet in height. An inside spiral flighlt of steps from the base leads up to the top of this mighty shaft, and from its elevated apex, in a clear day, a splendid view of Boston and vicinity can be had. This monument was dedicated June 17, 1843, in the presence of President Tyler and his Cabinet, when Hon. Daniel Webster delivered the famous oration for the occasion. The monument stands upon the centre of the site occupied by the redoubt, on Breed's Hill, and is another of the "institutions" of old Massachusetts. After descending from the "dizzy height" of this grand obelisk, a brief walk brings us to Charlestown Navy Yard, The United-States Naval Depot of this vicinity, which can be visited by strangers during the (lday, aiinl which, withl its great ships, in thiei "' houses," its numberless cannon, large and small. mianufactured by our own GOLD MEDAL PIANOS.

On the westerly side of the city of Charlest6wn, the rear resting upon Charles River, stands the Massachusetts State Prison, A penal institution, which, under the admirable supervision and management of its present excellent warden, Hon. Gideon Haynes, has attained a hihll character for usefulness and discipline, as well as for its purposes of confinement of the unfortunate or wicked criminals who are committed within its walls. The buildings are of stone, are spacious, and well ventilated, the principal one being in the form of a +, hav ing a central octa(gonal towver, running higher up, considerably, than the four wings. A visit to this prison will inform the stranger how well affairs are managed there, and the time spent in examining the details of the conduct of this institution will be passe(l profitablv and agreeably.

The price of board (at lowest) is fixed at three dollars. The friends of patients possessed of means pay higher rates. It is a well-conducted institution, and has proved in every way successful. Returning to Boston by cars again, we can now, if we please, drive out over Craigie's Bridge, through East Cambridge, across to Charlestown Neck, and thence up to the "dike," passing the ruins of "IJrsuline Convent" (burned many years ago), over the causeway, To Medford, A pretty place, four miles from town, remarkable only for its handsome village, through which the Mystic River flows, the fine old patriarchal family residences of the Brookses, tlhe acomnbs, &c., &c., and for its handsome central church, so long presided over, until 1862, by the poet and( schlolar, Rev.

The pond is dotted with islets, and along the easterly side are several large rough-stone mansions of great beauty and high cost. Along the road we now pass over, these fine estates are seen to advantage; and as we enter the old forest on the easterly side of the pond, and turn eastward, we come upon Wyoming Dell, Just below Spot Pond, one of the quietest and most enchanting spots in all New England, but one that is as yet but little known. The vast old pines along this road stretch their umbrageous limbs entirely across the path overhead, and the forest through which we drive into Melrose, and out upon the "Ravine Road" (so called) below, is seemingly primeval in its growth.

The "NEW GUIDbE'S " horse is an "old pelter" upon these roads, and was purchased years ago as "sound and kind, afraid of nothing." But, old as he is, and kind as he is, he dislikes the "dummy engine" upon the Lynn horse-ear track; and so he willingly turns aside (Saugus-ward) over Waslington Avenue, a well-worn and level road; and( a pleasant drive of four miles or so bring, U3 to the gateway of the cemetery. (The reader can go from Boston in the horse-car if he prefer it.) We have passed up Woodlawn Avenue, and find the gate-house, a pretty Gothic structure, fifty feet in width, arched over in the centre, and again on the sides. It is a beautitful enclosure, kept in admirable condition, and contains many objects of interest to the visitor.

After an agreeable and instructive stroll through the avenues and paths of these sacred grounds, we cross eastward, if inclined, and half a mile further brings us to the open sea-shore, on Chelsea Beach, Where there are four good hotels, in a range of about a mile, at either of which your horse will be well cared for, and you can yourself enjoy the ready fish dinner or supper with excellent gusto. At low tide, a fine ride up and down the beach will prove highly beneficial to your health and spirits; and after listening an hour to Old Ocean's roar, you niay return to town with the consciousness of having enjoyed one of the pleasantest drives accessible around Boston, or elsewhere. By crossing over to the turnpike, a pleasant ride of a few miles farther northward, through handsome villages, and past many a cosy estate, brings us to Swalmp.cott, upon the seashore, - a pretty and tastefully laid out place, dotted with fine dwellings, cottages, or villas, occupied in part as summer residences by wealthy business men of Boston, and by families transiently during "the heated term."
