ahead house in the country not difficult of
access from the great town, for they will often

enough to accommodate all their friends
! The halls are WIDE and hung with pictures
of hunting scenes and "A branch of antlers,
and are comfortable with chairs that can he

! Is inviting, or set out under some of the oaks
that stand sentinel about the house, and rus

What charm will there be in rural quiet for
man who has thirty or forty years been
conforming his entire nature to the excite
ments of business! Will hOcks and herds
with their bleat and moan he able to silence
the Unsuitable spirit of acquisitiveness which
has for years had full swing in the soul! VIII
