To me there is a well-loverl charm in feeling really alone, when here are only two of us, and we are arm inarm; walking under the great green arches; in breath: the keen scent of the moist wood; in tiek against the massive oaks, and the long, sonorous eche from the neigh- in stopping short at the cry of a z twig, at the sound of the drops patter- eat to leat; in drawing in long breaths ef the fresh, rain-washed air; in listening with my eyes (if I may use the expression) to the ex- ite harmony of all these shy and subtle nes. The metaphor is so true that it has be- come trite, but 1 do not use it for the sake of stringing words together. (natne day, when the sun is near setting, everything grows rosy and high-colored, like the face of a handsome girl spinning over the fire. ‘There is a warmth and a vividness of tone; boen nature is thrilled and touched, and we feel that through the day she has had her share of love, and pleasure, and work. The forest is warm; the folisge sparkles with diamonds, and rubies, and emeralds, and every now and ther on the trunks you catch a sudden, startling gleam o! geld. Then you have an orchestra all ite ettects, a rich and brilliant harmony, like the Lnexpected sight of royal treasure-chest—like * cathedral where the loud trumpets burst out ta whole nation shouts Alleluja!

And in high good- mor we danced over the fern, she leaning on m; then, as we came into the sonorous si- nee of the high growth, she suddenty broke t.to the tune of the “Marseiliaise,” into a h little song of her own invention aboat a hed husband who did not move at all, at all Ul.

The three were father, son and son-in-law: this was their workshop and and here they lived and labored year in, year out, winter and summer through. Once week the son went to the village for provisions, cd on Sunday the whole family played at bowls under the trees. As we entered they stopped work, an] each man, having spoken to us, put down his axc, frightful weapon, not unlike the guillotine axe— an enormous, sharp pointed blade, and a shor: handle, admirably adapted to the murder of oaks, but sinister of aswect.

And they ail set to work, chopping, catting, piling up while Louise, stamping with excitement, called out, «Make haste ! make haste !"" ‘Then there was a tremendous bubbling in the pan, and the great work began.
