Country Houses and English Gentry.
There are a certain number of persons
whose object it is to pass a certain num-
Der Of months in the year in the country
houses Of their friends, to save the house
keeping expenses at home and the hotel
bills away from home, but with the ex-
ception Of these cadgers country houses
are a bore alike to their owners and to
their owners guests. The owners have
not only to provide the guests with food
and lodging and to weary their brains
with attempts to amuse them, but they
have to breed up at a heavy cost domes-
tic fowls, in order that gentlemen may
make believe to be sportsnen by shooting
them with all the accomplishments that
luxury can provide.-London Truth.

fact to Mrs. Draper. The motion was
unanimously carried.

Now when the first foul torrent of the brooks,
Swelled with the vernal rains is eboed away;
And, whitening, down their messy tinctured
stream
Descends the billowy foam; now is the time,
While yet the dark-brown water aids the guile,
To tempt the trout"
Just in the dubious point, where with the pool
Is mixed the trembling stream, or where it boils
Around the stone, or from the followed bank,
Reverted plays in unduating flow,
There throw, nice-judging, the delusiye fly;
And, as you lead it round in artful curve,
With eye attentive mark the springing game"

careful attention and large outlay of money
can secure. Above all it is true to nature. and at
the end of each act the curtain falls upon self
