On the Grove

Metropolitan Grove, Md, Aug. 2.
I arrived Sunday, and I assure you
that l am glad to be here. This is
"a beautiful place-shade all around
you. To my surprise, met one of
my old classmates, Mrs. Dora Dorsey,
who is now married and has two
bouncing children. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dorsey are two industrious citizens of
Maryland Their home is in the CEN
ter of what is known as Metropolitan
Grove, Gaithersburg, Md. We have
fruit to give away and vegetables to
sell at any price. Mrs Maxfeld, &C
companied by her daughter, are the
first guests to arrive. The week end
ing to-day will find the place over
crowded This is the place for rest.
Sleeping is delightful, and pleasure is
yours if you want it. Our hammock
stretches between two large chestnut
trees. Here I am enjoying the fruits
of nature, a medicine my physician
says I greatly needed. A little beyond
II see a weeping willow 1t always
makes me feel sad whenever I see a
weeping willow It's dropping
branches, like bowling heads at a
funeral, recall the sad recollection of
those who have gone before. In this
grove there is nothing but happiness.
At night time, as in all country places,
we are serenaded by frogs and
crickets. This music may sound SOL
emn to the ears of the young and
those who are used to city life. l
came here to rest with my dear
mother, who is now interested in
Uncle Toms Cabin" She expresses
great admiration for the authoress Of
this great work. Everybody works in
this section and most everyone has his
own home. l am but short distance
from a mail box. We have rural free
delivery here. You receive your mail
in the same box in which it is placed
for the carrier. Once a day is not
often enough for me. I was the recip-
lent of ten letters to-day, and am of
the opinion that they will hold me
some time. I have not decide just
when I shall leave this place, but when
do, shall certainly let you know.
