NEAR TO NATURES HEART.

The tendency to admire that which is distant and belitttle or ignore the excel lence and beauty which lie near at hand, is univeral and as old as humanity. We are all subject to 1t; we are all inclined to deny honor to our own prophets, we each walk often with angels, unaware. Most of all, we are prone to pass unno. ticed the natural beauties of our own home region; depreciating them by reas- on of familiarity or, as is mere frequent ly the case, living in utter ignorance of their existence. How many of our cit,- izens know that some of the finest scenic effects found in all the land lie about our own New Milford, within few hours drive? How many have fully appreciat- ed the sylvan loveliness of the Walker Brook road, the rugged beauty of the Je- rusalem road, the unequalled prospect from the Knoll ,the " wonderful view from the Second Hill road, the varied charms of the Long Mountain roads Falls Mountain, the Gorge, Guarding Noun tain, Green Pond, Candlewood, Mount Tom; all these are unexplored regions to most of us, but about them lie bits of scenery not to be excelled in all the land. No more beautiful sheet of water than Lake Waramaug lies out Of doors in all New England. No country town in all New England is more pleasantly situat- ed, surrounded by more natural beau- ty, more healthful, or mora accessible, than New Milford. Why should not our citizens know these facts and make them known to others? The Record, which goes to score of public reading rooms in Connecticut, will devote some effort to making the advantages of New Milford known; as the first step, we shall de- scribe the village itself, ,enumerate it's ho- tels, boarding houses, and detail it's va rious claims as place for permanent residence or summer resort. This we shall endeavor to do in our next issue. [ Y. M. 0. A. Record.
