The strangers joined their friends in admiring the well-proportioned edifice rising before them, and still more the benevolence which instituted such a comfortable asylum ; but fearing it might be late ere they reached home, postponed a longer ramble through the inviting walks till they had more leisure. Mr Wilson informed his friends, as they returned, that the Meadows which they admired so much had been formerly a lake called the South Loch, but had been drained about the beginning of the las...t century by a person of the name of Hope, who procured a lease of it on con- dition that he should not only drain, but lay out the place as they now saw it, with a broad walk round the grass park, fenced with a hedge and a row of trees on each side, with a cross walk through the middle, set with lime-trees ; and that it more frequently went by the name of Hope Park. " I am sure, " added Mrs W. " we are much indebted to Mr Hope ; indeed, I scarcely know what my little ones would do without the Meadows to play in.
