the simple reason that all outdoors was
mans first home. Afterward, when Ged
" set the solitary in families" and the
privacy Of separate apartments became
necessary, the social units entered their
new estate, somewhat as Noah entered the
ark, obediently, but taking with them
many memento of the old life. Per-
haps this instinct survives, and serves to
account for our desire. when shut up by
the snug walls of home, to surround our
selves with reminders Of the woods, the
fields, and the summer sky, in shape Cd
plants, and vines, and painted landscape
or cage Of singing birds.

own expense. Ia March, 1864, there was
to be a ball at Brandy Station. and his

If THE CoAT Frs WEAR IT.-Robert
Collyer tells a story that, long time ago
a minister, who had two deacons in his con-
