FROM A NEW ENGLAND HILLSIDE. IOI 



some other way the skilled workman may 

 obtain the added power which he now needs, 

 and have it brought to his own dwelling, 

 and thus be enabled to retire &quot; far from the 

 madding crowd,&quot; and by personal thought 

 and individual touch impress upon the 

 thing which he creates that character and 

 merit which will conquer for it a place in 

 the affection and in the markets of the 

 world ? Let us hope so. 



But where was I ? As I live, looking out 

 the meaning of the word paraphernalia in 

 the dictionary. Come, come no more tri 

 fling with this little affair ; let us see what 

 the &quot; Century &quot; has to tell us. Ah ! here it 

 is ; number three will save me, but only as 

 by fire ; &quot;miscellaneous possessions,&quot; and 

 1 will positively refuse to pay any attention 

 whatever to the rest of the sentence, &quot;as 

 the numerous conveniences of a traveller, 

 small decorative objects, and the like.&quot;
