THE GUIDE TO NATURE. 



A MEW OF THE MAIN HOUSE FROM THE EAST. 

 At the east of this is a valley lawn bordered by a rocky ledge. 



that it will always be so. He agrees 



with Dr. Henry Van Dyke: 



"Let me but live my life from year to 



year. 

 With forward face and unreluctant 



soul. 

 Not hastening to nor turning from the 



goal: 



* * * $ * 



"So let the way wind up the hill or 



down. 

 Through rough or smooth, the journey 



will be jov ; 



Still seeking what I sought when but a 



boy, 

 New friendship, high adventure, and 



a crown. 

 I shall grow old, but never lose life's 



zest, 

 Because the road's last turn will be the 



best." 

 He is well permeated with this spirit 

 which makes "naturalist" after his 

 name seem fitting. 



It has therefore seemed appropriate 

 to me to select him as this month's sub- 



THE VIEW OF THE PICTURESQUE LEDGE IN THE REAR. 

 The lawns are well kept with the "roughness of the wild'' in two massive ledges.
