whitcncss OF the snow changes mo-
mentarily from one prismatic color to
another until the last golden lances of
the god OF day light up Natures min
crets with a Gordon of living fire as a
final adieu to the departing day. In
the west we can find relief from the
strain OF contemplation of these grand
objects by viewing picture of rural
simplicity and contentment.
But IL is not our object to iraprass
those who have not experienced the
hospitality OF this house, that all its
attractions are on the outside. Far
from it. Within the walls may be
found that peaceful happiness which
good living always imparts. The
dining room Is, as it should be, the
lightest and most cheerful room in
the house. The parlors are large and
well appointed, the rooms admirably
arranged, with all modern appliances
Tor convenience and comfort, and each
department is under the management
OF persons selected for their peculiar
htness for the duties required of
them.
