At the start there are some things
described which are 80 odd they may
shock, but as the author had nothing to
DO with the creation of the people, nor
with the ordering OF their affairs, he
could only follow behind them and
pick up what they had left upon the
wsysids OF life.
The story is one of great interest for
the boys, and opens in the pine woods
ringing the high hills bounding
the eaetern horizon OF Liverpool,

adventure in it to make it interesting
and epicy reading for the boys.
Jim's first experience ut milking will
cause many an old eye to twinkle again
with she remembrance OF similar ex-
perience years ago. The kind old peo-
Pile, to put Jim on an equal footing with
the villagers, resolve to adopt him, as an
American boy would not have an equal
chance with the British subjects. This

adventures in the woods and hunting
expeditions are full OF exciting events.
The rural districts always have their
disadvantages, at which the high

the privations. The undimmed light,
the untainted air, the crystal streams,
the sweet.scented fields, the balmy
woods, the glorious hills and the homely
plenty and joyfu liberty of tho home
steads are priceless blessings. fresh and
fragrant from the hand of God.
