what great treasures 1t contains, espe-
cially the museum, which is full of Won
derful things that a person could not
see without going to far off countries;
the stones, corals, sea stones and pre-
cious birds that have been brought from
other countries, beside numerous other
things.

May break in upon the visions of beauty in
chitecture and attempt to describe old, faded, red
dwelling? There is nothing about it that is artistic,
but there hovers about it irresistible charm that
penetrates my being, and appeases sense of the
romantic It is large, square structure with long,
slopng gables and great deal Of profuse and
necessary decoration. But what particularly attracts
fancy is the door directly above the little porch
which is to side of the 'front.' which opens
upon another little porch Whenever think
of it, it calls forth pictures of slender form shrouded
in black who roamed at night thru the passages of
the story and out the little porch It
is the only time of the day that the sky is directly
above her, and she turns her madonnake toward
the Clouds while the kindly smiles into her face.
1t was my wish that this house should never be
changed but already has been moved from its for
foundation it's shngled gables torn and its
decaying tmbers strengthened In little while it will
show resemblance to its former SELF and feel
with Hawthorne that the hand which renovates is
sacrilegious than that which destroys.
