A VISIT TO CINCINNATI. 
ince T wrote you of our enter¬ 
tainment, wo have been very 
busy atotir house, as who is not, 
on a farm during fruit canning 
and harvesting time, but 1 have 
ha/I a little trip that I enjoyed 
very much, and will try to tell 
you about it. 
A few weeks ago some pleasant friends from 
Cincinnati, spent a short time with us, and in¬ 
sisted on taking me home with them. It was 
on very short notice that I packed my satchel 
and boarded the morning train with them on 
a certain bright Monday; hut I enjoyed my¬ 
self every hit as much as if 1 had spent a week 
in getting ready. My friends did much for 
my entertainment, and many were the sights 
which my eyes took in during the four days in 
the Queen City. The first morning we went to 
market, and 1 saw more vegetables, fruits, 
etc., than I should have thought one city capa¬ 
ble of consuming. In the afternoon we drove 
to Eden Park on the eastern side of the city. 
It contains 20(5 acres, and the city has spared 
no money or pains in making it on Edeu In¬ 
deed. It. was first improved in 1872, and has 
already cost £4.10,000. The work is a grand 
one, for the park is open, free of charge, at all 
times, ami there thousand* of the poor people 
may gets taste of the country wit bout t he ex¬ 
pense of a trip out of tho city, and ail classes 
may equally enjoy tho blessings of sunshine 
and fresh air. Here ure the large reservoirs 
of the water-works, and on a lovely site over¬ 
looking the city, tho grand Cincinnati Muse¬ 
um is being built. Trees and shrubs are set 
out over the entire park, and the hill-,s|des are 
covered with a dense growth of lilacs and 
other shrubs. Everything about the place is 
natural and restful: but one mistake seems to 
have been made in allowing the trees to be set 
out so densely as to almost, entirely obstruct 
the view across the Ohio River. At the ex¬ 
treme east of the park, however, are a few un¬ 
improved acres; there the view is not shut olT, 
aud is a magnificent picture. The river lies 
seemingly far beueath. but so close that a 
stone dropped from the bank where we stand, 
would splash in the water. In reality, a 
whole town lies between us mid the river, uud 
it is the extreme Might which causes the decep¬ 
tion. Fur, far away, we may see the hills of 
which Cincinnati may well be proud, and the 
towns along the river in Ohio and Keotuoky. 
I wish 1 might describe the Park more fully; 
but 1 have much more to tell and must be 
brief. 
On Tuesday we took a drive to Clifton and 
Burnet woods. Clifton lies north of Cincin¬ 
nati. and comprises about 1,200 acres of mag¬ 
nificent Jr.ud There are iu the town over 17 
miles of avenues beautifully kept and shaded 
by the noble, old trees of pioneer days. The 
residences me of the most imposing structure; 
among the most noted is that of Henry Pro- 
basco, which is a castle of itself. On every 
jiaud are line houses, ull with yurds aud 
grounds of many acres, aud some so sur¬ 
rounded by forest trees as to be entirely hid 
deu. No fences are allowed: no shop, factory 
or saloon rnurs t he beauty or quietude of the 
place, and all the advantages of country and 
city are combined on the grandest scale. At 
Runiet-woods Park, a little south of Clifton, 
we rested from our drive and ate a lunch 
which hail been provided for tin* occasion; 
then we came home past the rear of the Work- 
house, just in time to see over 100 men marched 
in from work, though, of course, that was not, 
the entire number. 
The Highland House came next for its share 
of attention. It is situated on Mt. Adams, 
and the view from there is one of the finest 
about the city. It was by night that I saw it, 
for we had gone up to see Paine’s celebrated 
fireworks. Looking down on the city lights 
and the Rolling Mills, more brilliaut than any, 
seemed no small part of the entertainment. 
The display of fireworks was magnificent; 
but at the close I was sorry to hear such a 
clinking of wine-glasses among the fashion¬ 
able crowds, and shuddered to think in what 
attractive forms the tempter can appear. 
On the last day of my stay I had a fine walk 
over the city, visiting the large surgical aud 
dental depot of mine host, and enjoyed a rare 
treat in examining various objects through 
a powerful microscope. I must not 
omit mention of the Arcade, which is one of 
the largest iu the world, extending 400 feet 
from Vine to Race Streets, between Fourth 
and Fifth. 
After all, the best part of my visit was the 
hospitality which was shown to me in the 
beautiful house where I was a guest,, and I 
was fully convinced that “the art of enter¬ 
taining is to make one feel at home.” The 
city impresses me with the wonders of man’s

work. Such marvels of machinery, archi¬ 
tecture and art in its higher forms! What 
we country people may get from woods, and 
birds, and flowers, the inspirations which we 
draw from nature, 
"Boole* In the running brooks, 
Sermons in vtone*. aud good In everything,” 
city people must find in music and the arts. 
It seems we are all made with that instinct 
for something higher and better than merely 
supplying our bodily needs, and, whether in 
city or country, we may find something to 
meet the demand. 
A few days in the Queen City gave me great 
enjoyment, but no less love for the country. 
J ha ve forgotten to mention the ruins of the 
Court House, and no doubt have left many 
things unsaid, but with regards to Uncle and 
Cousins, I must close. 
Very truly yours, 
BERTHA KNOWLTON. 
LETTERS FROM THE COUSINS. 
Dear Uncle Mark:—I received the seeds 
whicn you so kindly sent me, and I send you 
many thanks for them. 1 think the most of 
the “Harden Treasures.” for 1 am very fond 
of flowers of all kinds; they are all growing 
very well, aud several of them are in bloom. 
There are oue or two of which 1 do not ku >w 
the names. One has leaves and buds resem¬ 
bling those of the fuchsia, although, as you see, 
the flower is quite different. Can you tell me 
the name, 
1 enjoyed reading Ella Turner’s letter in 
the paper of July fifth very much; indeed, I 
enjoy all the “Letters from the Cousins.” I 
was very glad to hear that we ha 1 an aunt, 
Uncle Mark. Why doesn't she ever say a 
word to us? I atu sure we would all he glad to 
hear from her once in a while. 1 fouud sev¬ 
eral of the “Rurals” of 1870 an/1 1871 that mu 
used to take. It was then called “Moore’s 
Rural New Yorker.” “Uncle True” held the 
place that Uncle Mark has now. I read the 
letters over in both papers about twice a week. 
Our school is out now, and I get so lonesome 
I don’t kuow what, to do some days. I am go¬ 
ing to make myself and my two sisters each a 
howl for this winter. My youngest sister, 
Fannie, has me write her little stories which 
she keeps. She says when I write about 25 
for her, she will get some clever person to 
print them in a little book. 
Uncle Mark, would you like to have your 
nieces and nephews correspond with each 
other? I would like to correspond with Miss 
Ella M. Turner, of Ontario Can. 
Florence a. Emerson, 
Marshall Co,, Indiana. 
[The plant you describe is, I think, elarkia; the 
other two 1 do not recognize. Sister Beth 
says she will say something to you before long; 
she will have something to say to the girls 
Bhe thinks I neglect their special kinds of work; 
but she ought uot expect me to write about 
housework and cooking, though 1 enjoy good 
cooking very much, when it comes to the 
table. I send you Ella’s address: write inter¬ 
esting letters and you will both be benefited.

Dear Uncle Mark: —In response to your 
request for a longer letter from me, I will try 
to write one. 
It is vocation now. and I will tell you how 
I spend my time. I milk three cows every 
night uud morning and drive the cows to pas¬ 
ture. feed aud care for between 50 aud 40 
Silver penciled Hamburg chickens, gather the 
hen and turkey eggs, rake buy with a sulky 
rake, pick berries and keep the weeds out of 
my garden. 1 read with interest the letter 
about saving seeds, in the Rural of July 
10th. I have set out turnips and beets to suve 
the seeds. 1 have bowh the peas that came 
from the Rural. 1 have sweet corn, pota¬ 
toes, lettuce, earrqts and melons. 1 sowed 
some parsnips but the seed did uot germinate 
and It was too late to sow them again, and I 
sowed some flax seed to see how it looked as I 
never saw any growing I have harvested 
my Fultzo-Clawson wheat and shall sow it 
this Fall, also the Uross-lired Delhi-Mediter¬ 
ranean Wheat. I have gathered some Sweet 
William Heeds aud would like to know if the 
same roots will live through the Winter and 
blossom again next year, and if the seed that 
1 have now planted will blossom next year? 
Your uepliew, wilbur e. haxton. 
[Have you set out beets and turnips this Rum¬ 
mer for seed? If so I'm afraid you will be dis¬ 
appointed; but you can try again. Early In 
tho Spring Is the time to put them out; it is 
too hot aud dry in the Summer, for they do 
not make long roots to draw up the moisture 
from the ground. The Sweet Wi hum plants 
will live through the Winter and bloom again 
next year. I’lants from seed sown now will 
bloom next year if t hey are thrifty. You will 
find young plants amoug the old ones proba¬ 
bly, from seed that has scattered.
