Intellectual pursuit.
So we passed on to inspect specimens OF
England's old cathedrals, such as Itch
field, Peterboro, Ely, Lincoln and York.
These all differ much in architecture, at
fractions and history. Yet all impress by
their immensely, grandeur, and beauty;
and, l might add, their reckless waste Of
money. One was partially burned by a
maniac, who did not like its organ. Its
restoration cost 100000 which alone
would have built twenty-five very hand
some churches, each one more useful, per-
haps, than the great cathedral which cost
many millions of dollars, and was centu-
ries in building. But these piles show
mans supreme reverence for God.
We spent week at bennington Spa.
the famous watering place, and center for
beautiful excursions. Kennilworth and
Warwick castles, Stratford-on-Avon,
Shakespeare's home, and innumerable
places of interest are found in Warwick
shire. our boys lived on their bicycles.
and one day rode to Birmingham and
back, about forty-fve miles. We took
traps and drove ourselves as we pleas
ed through the country; the ancient vii
lagos, the antique churches, the quiet cot
tages, the curious shops, and quaint coun-
try inns all arresting our attention and
pleasing our fancies. BY making small
purchases, or some casual inquiry. we
could inspect the interiors of many novel
houses
