We offer at the present time another of the series of designs for simple outbuildings for the adornment of country places.

Our series thus far has included two summer-houses for shady corners of the lawn, an observatory for the rocky bluff, and a pump-house for the yard. We now give a view of an open pavilion, appropriate for a high, prominent situation commanding extensive views, such, for instance, as many of the estates on the banks of the Hudson afford. It serves here the same purpose as the observatory, though the latter - as the design in the October number of the •Horticulturist - is more suited to a rocky eminence hedged in by evergreens and other picturesque trees, while the former, being of a more open, sunny character, would look best on the verge of a graceful sweep of lawn, in the midst of beautiful rather than picturesque scenery.

The pavilion is octagonal in form, measures twenty feet across, and the interior is surrounded by seats. The roof is of the ogee form, and might be surmounted by a vane, a useful as well as an ornamental feature.

There being no intricate detail work, the construction of this structure is very simple, and it can be executed by any ordinary carpenter at a small expense.
