THE HOME JENNY LIND.
The Domcstic Life "i the once Famous
StngeH

more romantic-looking residence than
Eastnor Castle, says the London World.
When viewed from the road to Iedbury,
acrss the swan-haunted lake, its massive
towers suggest many a fairy tale, and it
might have been the ideal of the home OF
Sleeping Beauty. 1t is true an archeo-
logist may find fault with its details. but
there it stands, a veritable castle, with ro.
mantle gardens, mnzes terraces, with lit
tie fairy islands dotting the surface of the
expansive lake, beyond which the deer
may be seen browsing in the extensive
park, which has for background the
southern ridge of the Malverns.
There are weird stories told of the
gaunt Raggedstone Hill. which lies to the
south of the Hollybush Pass, while Mid
summer Hill on the north is crowned
with ramparts and circular pits, which
formed the dwellings of the fathers of the
land when time was much younger than
it now is. The fires of Baal had blazed
from its summit, even until later days, on
Midsummer Eve. Its dells are lonely,
wooded and beautiful but beyond all
rises the great and forbidding Hereford
shire Beacon. Its stupendous ramparts
ITS massive citadel, its winding chariot
road, become more formidable as we pass
along the Ridgway, which is one of
the few places WHARF the mistietoe yet
clings to the oak, as in the far off Druidi-
cal times. The road along this curious
Ridgway is retired, sylvan, and the home
of thousand wild flowers. Glimpses of
a far off, undulatlng country may be seen
through the trees to the west, while those
on the east hide the old Beacon until we
are at it's foot
tip,a cuppt and
summer weather you may meet here a
} middle-aged lady, now accompanied by
some young folks, now by her husband
or friend. They are known to few on
the country side, for there are but few to
know them. The pleasure.seeker heeds
them not, the archRoligst knows them
| not Excursionists, who come to the
breezy hills by the hundred in summer
r time, have probably never heard their
J name. To even old London habitues the
name of Jenny Lind recalls but pleas
ant memory. In this neighbOrhOod she
and her husband have made their home.
} The country people call it winds Point "
e The house is better known as 'JOhnson' IS
1 Folly :" but in future it ought to be
: known as the Nightingale s Nest.
To those who were living in London in
= 1s47 the very name of Jenny Lind sends
thrill through the veins. The hopes,
e the anticipations of one day i'll that wild
o time were damped the next by the an
9 nounccment that the singer, whose fame
r was European, had declined to appear.
s Miss Frederika Bremen had made her the
: heroine of her charming novel, "The
4 Home" We heard of her enhancing the
= opera goers at Berlin, and being reg aar1ed
as the singing angle in her native city.
