 that a similar one was erected at Edgewood 

 eleven years since, and its gates have swung 

 back and forth a dozen times a day, without, 

 as yet, a single hammer's stroke in way of 

 repair. 



Two half-inch iron rods were passed 

 through each gate and fastened by a nut upon 

 the longer upright sapling. Once or twice it 

 has been necessary to give this nut a turn or 

 two with the wrench, and this completes the 

 tale of the attention it has required.
