COUNTRY LIFE.
July 10Th, 1853.
"DEAR BuoLE: As many of my best friends
arc among the readers Of the Bugle, siezc a
moment Of rest from manual toll to let them
know my Whereabouts and what-s-bouts.
"In April last moved my family into the
country. in the vicinity of eight acres 1 had
purchased for a home. l Immediately COM
menced work in preparation for building, and
have been at hard labor to this time. My Arst
work was digging my own cellar-then hauling
my own stono half a mile-then building my
own cellar wall with no one to help me--then
scoring my own timber for the frame then
hauling my own lumber five mlcs-and then.
after the carpenters had put up the frame,
weatherboarding my own house, making my
own shingles and shingling my own roof f:-and
here We arc and have been for three weeks
living under that roof.
"Our place was densely covered with timber
in which an opening is made by a wood chop
per so that have not done quite Gll my work
with my own hands. In addition to the above
services, We have nice little garden full Of
various things, which Mrs. Hne has chiefly
cultivated, besides her household duties, sewing
for some Of the neighbors, raising chickens sc.
or late you perceive have been praeticng the
great duty Of labor for which 1 had for several
years been preaching without piacticng.
81 was brought up on the farm, but much
labor l have done. such as laying stone wall,
making shingles and carpcntering. was entire
ly unacquantcd with. l believe could now
put up frame and finish house myself /
don't know as l shall make moro than one
lecturing trip for some time-and that for the
additional purpose of finding a yoke of oxen,
as they are not to be had in this region.
"Our location ia on tho Little Miami railroad
and river, nearly an hours ride from Cincinnati.
1t will become, under my own toll, one Of the
most charming places in the whole West. Oc-
cupying Gll of an elevated bluff, il commands
charming view of extensive landscapes. and the
great variety of handsome trees that will be
held sacred. cannot fail to make il A delightful
home for us. Besides, tho eight acres are fer
tile and all available, except portions that must
be occupied by the beautiful becehcs. naples,
poplais, oaks, butternuts, &C., that will consti-
tute our grove.
ave intend to obtain all our living out of the
land by our own labor-labor on free and phi
losophcal principles-labor at three hours per
day. leaving me the remainder of my time
graiuitous in the cause of Progress. But hard
labor will be required for some time to get all
things in order.

we care about, and are fro from all its disad-
vantagcs. 1 can go in ON Sunday morning.
