W'a undnrjtaiid that a further ell'ort is iew making by a great number of most ipirited citizen tu secure th small portion yet left uf our unequalled Heights for public Park. Tho effort lierctofor toads on a more extended fede must be well reeoUeated, by the older citizens who bav bad th fceeitregrit to see tliii elevated od beaa-tiful plateau gradually encroached upon by buildings until but a single square of limit thirty two lots, we believe, is left to jjublic attainment. tliis are growing the old trees of th I'ierrejvjJrt esWte.

We approve unetinivoesliy of securing this beautiful plot, wbidi can now be effected at a moderate price. The great need of Brooklyn is public parts, Oh the oilier ride of the city ore Washington i'ark and the City J'ark, and it appears to us that no ftusible objeetion Aiun be made to securing one, on the sot where it i needed, aud whew J1 the Kineht6 of nalur -coniliiu to render it appropriate.

PALII StNDAY. Yc'terday was 1'alm Si'uJay, coinraemo-ratir of the triumphal entry of Christ into dtfusalcni, when, tbe Gospels say, the people "took branches of palm trees, and wcut forth to meet una and cried, IIo- aanna: Blessed is th King of Israel that cometh In ths nam of th The Catholic churches, as usual, celebrated1 the day KWh nonin and ceremony, In some of llio frotcstant pulpits the occasion suggested topics of discourse, The churches yesterday wr well at tended, and there seems no diminution in the reliuiont feclinr? that lias for weekt in- Inenced the (omcinnity. cwncii or tjie aAVioiti, Hev.

thought at tbe present time it was peculiarly neceesswy to enforce this. There was a tendency iis our day to direct attention chiefly to spiritual feeling or sen- iiuieiiT, to cue neieuv oi uucli me. no oiu not rgaru uie lauor as nione emcacious a man iniglit have a complete system ot intellectual belief, and yet in bis life and character bo far from a holy num.

Christ had said tl.a tnntli will iniilin in frpa he meant the truth he came to declure, and in the belief that it wot freedom. Tl, T'lirtditArt ri'liirlon pTexvwhere teach- ct doctrine as well as sentiment. Doctrine must take some form ot expression, ana then becomes creed. In this sense, no man is without one. Even those who disparage doctrine have a certain belief themselves.

Ho spake of creed in its broad sense, not as a system to be forced on others, but as an expression of Individual belief. A Arnpit wliMi a mtt Innoeent term iu itself, sounds unpleasant to many. It rails up ssseeiations of bitfotry, intolerance and spiritual pride. The Unitarian denomination had its origin In repudinting dogmas to which It could not subscribe, and resisting the tyranny that sought to e.ifm-ne them.

We mention tins little bit of bad taste on the part of he lady for the purpose of introducing the subject of pictures to our readers. And first, the picture-loving world i9 divided into two classes those who only sec picture, and those who see and feel it.
