BY 



PHILIP G. HUBERT, JR. 



" That I may accomplish some petty, particular affair well, 

 I live my whole life coarsely. Yet the man who does not 

 betake himself at once and desperately to sawing is called 

 a loafer, though he may be knocking at the doors of heaven 

 all the while, which shall surely be opened to him. I can see 

 nothing so holy as unrelaxed play and frolic in this bower 

 God has built for us." H. D. THOREAU. 



" The royal peace of a rural home." W. S. WARD.
