ftoafinNed from last greeks issae.)
"a little pant is a dangerous thing on
a woman's face, but an uncommon1y good
thing on q house or fence.
a stranger approaching Somerset (psr
ticularly from the cast is struck with
surprise at the staring red brick houses,
and the many weather stained frame
houses which are allowed to go implanted
from year to year. He cannot bot con
uast ia his mind, what is and what might
be. 1t would be a positive rest and pleas
ure 10 the eye to view this town with lis
prominent situation, If The buildings were
painted in subdued but tasteful shades
1t might be made a beautiful place in
deed, if the glaring, heated brick blocks
were toned down Mr.. Baer's block pre-
sents o fine appearance, and looks as
though II had q right 10 be here and was al
home. The Mammoth block, on the other
hand, looks rs though it had been trans
planted from some mush room oil district.
and had not become acclimatized.
The same thing may be said of the ex-
terror of our hotels. Do the proprietors
expect their guests TO be deprived of all
aesthetic sense
They forget that there is an appetite
for the beautiful, the aesthetic, and the
tasteful, which, with enligkted and cult
waited persons, must be satisfied with as
much regularity as the cravings of their
animal nature.
Their houses would be a hundred times
more attractive if they were tastelully
painted.
Another Thing for which there is not "a
particle Of excuse, is the black, ugly,
weather-stained appearance of many OF
the fences and out-houses about tow
properties.
II these out-houses and fences are too
poor to be painted, they should at least
be white-washed.
White-wash is cheap, and an annuala APP
plicalion would add greatly 10 the gen.
eral appearance OF the town.
We think the following demonstrates
the desirabllily OF attractive homes:
There is use in beauty. 1t makes
home attractive, IFS exterior more respect.
able, our lives happier, our dispositions
sweeter, and our social and domestic in
t~ercourse more refined. By all means
plant some little thing OF grace TO temper
the rugged surroundings Of the front yard.
It's silent. though elegant language will
speak TO the visitor or passer-by a word of
eulogy for you. The least flower or shrub
will be some attraction; a curved path
winding between trees TO the house, a
mound of stones and shells. with the ivy
trailing over them, the towering shrub or
turf OF fern, all such things are attractive,
and form a pleasing subject for the eye OF
even the most Indifferent beholded. '-Ru

EDITOR HERALD noticed in your
last weeks issue an article about the rude
ness OF some of our neighbors at Hoovers-
vile, and the low, mean, dirty tricks that
they are doing; such as writing anon
ymous letters, stealing the Bible and lamps
out OF the Reformed church, etc. Ii is
true We have bad characters here as well
as elsewhere; they are all over the world,
and will cOntilue to be SO in all time to
come. There were anonymous letters
written and sent to several of our citizens,
but were they written in the village or
near ii, or somewhere else, and sent here +!
is a question beyond my comprehension,
though certain parties have been blamed.
But | think these parties are innocent of
il, for they are Jealous, working Chris.
tan men and women, and they would
not stoop 50 low as TO speak evil of theIr
neighbOrs and friends.
| think the writer did not look sharp
while in church on the 18th of April, or
he would have seen the lamps; or, he was
mlsiniormed by parties there, which,
cannot say; but the lamps were positively
not m-yed from their places. He also
stated that the Reforms had no church.
which is not true. Now the church is not
a Reformed church altogether, it a Re-
formed and Lutheran church together.
The Lutheran's at their own expense
bought the Bible and the lamps, one
Lutheran member buying The Bible him
self and presenting it to the Lutheran
church. And when rejecting over the
subject, it would have not been more than
right 10 remove the lamps and Bible.
| would not have written on the sub
ject at all, but owing 20 the false reports
therein recorded, putting us down to the
very bottom of the pit OF degradation.
believe we have just as good people here
as any where on the globe.
