Fairlee, a station on the Pasumpsic railway.
There II. =. Warren, who provides good
teams and employs gentle drivers, will take
the footsore pilgrim along delightful high
way, and half-hour's drive will land him
in Arcadia.
All things must have an end. For a sea-
son all too brief
The night had been filed with music.
And the cares that nfest the day
