A Beautiful Picture of Con-
tentment.

Mrs. Eloise Hunt, Heiners Run,
Clinton county, Pennsylvania, says
My home has been for six years in a
little rocky basin shut in on every side
by the Alleghanies, without a neighbor
a church, or school, seeing no human
faces for yeeks-aye even months some
times that of my husband and
child. Living THIS, | have come to
love in u strange earnest way, all that
nature has thrown around me. Earth
with its varied growth Of trees, and
shrubs, plants and NOSES, rocks and
wa.er, the clouds, blue sky and stars,
everything is beautiful to me; even the
dead leaves aud the old decsyed trees,
and bare rocks are beloved. Think,
shen how inexpressibly dear the living
trees, and flowers, and moving water
! have tame trout, six yards from the
door, that leap above the water to
catch bits Of bread from my fingers.
The phcasants make their nests in sight
Of the house and sometimes the male
bird is seen drumming on an old log
only few rods up the mountain side.
| have planted wild flowers round my
doors, and in summer the humming
birds 20 through the open house on
their visits 10 the flowers. Strangers
from the world have said: How eau
you exist in this dreary place." Their
eyes cannot see as mine, nor can they
hear any of the pleasant voices hear,
80 ! simply tell them what they can
comprehend: 1t is my necessity Ny
place, which is so lonely to others, is so
pleasant to me that | have named it
Paradise, and here will teach INV son
love Of truth, purity and hesuty."

will be the voting of magnificent steed
