. The country home. nsin, and in Michigan, with her walnuts and hickories, and rivers senti-nelled with oaks and pines. I selected CentralNew York and the Oriskany Valley as, of all, thehomef uUest spot in America. I shall not expect towin you all for immediate neighbors; but this is anage when we can whisper across a continent, andgird the world with our good morning. All this time we are on our hunt for a home, aplace where we may. plant ourselves, and grow.The trolley whisks us by red cottages, half hid amongpear trees; other brown ones that are perched onknolls, where the owners are husking corn — them-selves seated on huge pumpkins, while jokes fly asfast as the ears; for husking-bees are not yet quitethings of the past.

It is folly to undertake a taskthat will be beyond our experience, and will so over-burden us with novel cares that we shall stop in de-spair, and crawl back into town life. You may besure of one thing — that no work needs more tact, patience, resolution, and wit than that of the farm.A home in the country during the twentieth centurywill mean the liveliest sort of intellectual activity.
