One of the delightfully."- pleasant
places in this village is Church street,
on the hill. The two parsonages,
that stand opposite each other, with
their green lawns and general air of
neatness and display of taste and re-
finement preach as eloquently to the
passer by of the true home, and how
it should be environed, as their rev.
erend occupants teach from their pull
pits the wonders of redemption. And
why shouldn't a religion of home
tastes and quietude, ooking out
through the beauties of a cultivated
nature, 60 hand in hand with. that of
the cross and crown, that we are told
leads up to the beautiful city with the
pearly gates F?
The great giver of all things has
lavishly beautified this our earthly
home, leaving no spot untouched. 1t
is only the vile, lazy whelp of man
who disfgures his workmanship-who
contents himself in a home surround
ed with the offshoots of indolent in
difference when he has but to reach
forth and take profusely of Gods
beautiful gifts. Well, this isn't our
friend, lawyer Cudworth, whose res
idence stands little lower down on
this street, and has lately been re-
paired and raised up. He seems to
have a just appreciation of what a
home should be and has labored to
make it so with the same zeal that in
former years he perspired to fathom
the problems of Blackstone and
Chitty. And 10 the results are be-
coming apparent: Neatly graded
grounds, substantial and tasty walks
and Arbor day trees. Mr.. Cudworth
has recently bought small corner
(about an acre. of the grove lot, adj
joining his house lot. Here, two, he
is beautifying-clearing out the I'M
derbrush and making cozy little hooks
where he and his pleasant family can,
in summer, drink in natures beauties
