buggy first. and keep that bull dog off,
A very nice drive you'll have, too, let
me tell you, the country picturesquely
dotted over with old fashioned quaint

ont Fl m shady yards, and teeming fields
Of ripening grain, where hospitable hands
are ready to shake yours cordially, bright
smiles, and brighter eyes, to welcome you
with an unpretcnding pleasure that puts
YOU at case as naturally as if you had
