But to really enjoy it, one muBt see it, written
out in characters Of ''lving green" upon field
and forest; hear it whispered, pabbled, 1utnmed,
| warbled, croaked, cackled, cazoled and crowed
By the orchestra that forms one OF the chief
teftainments OF country living and country
thinking.

It remains to be seen whether Waukesba is to
be blessed with 8 new railroad or not. The sur

1T TIE CEMETERY
the SEXTON who for more than thirty years has
tended thesa houses Of the dead, silently led us
to where one and another Of the brave boys lis
buried. The old man was touched, for his own
lad lay among the rest. Although unable to read
even the names upon the headstones, he can
tell the occupant Of every grave, and the exact
spot where he IL buried. It speaks well for the
health of the place that, in all these years, the
number Of burials has rarely exceeded per cent
Of the population Of the town.
The grounds are we'll kept but the sombre
evergreens, the chill white slahs, and the awful
stiffness speaks more eloquently than tho words
Of any preacher.
