many of our cities are yet in embryo, but
this does not detract from their beauty
In q recent trip through, Thought the
country contained as fine views as had
seelsin Italy or GrRce, aud lakes and
streams as romantic, if not as famous, at

there is Divinity that shapes our ends

be impossible to account for men selling
out i'll southern Wisconsin to find al,
earthly paradise. 1t is evident to any one
passing through with open eyes. that the
country is not only beautiful but prosper

abound every where in it, whilst frame
houses and board fences are replacing log

in their studies they certainly answered
questions more readily than any school

perfectly to comprehend the lesson that they
