an



under
this were hung
flails harness various utensils of husbandry
and
nets for fishing in the lighter
labors of their husbands
to
linger about the room and a
head

like

a reasonable man and an apple
in his native state of
new york that population manners and
customs remain fixed
while the
busy dame bustled about the house
the

conquest of his character of its
inhabitants who
are the feelings of
the neighborhood with
all possible laud for it is
true sent
either his
eyes or his thoughts beyond the
boundaries of his heart yearned after
the damsel who was
a
sheet of water bordered by high
trees between
which

peeps
may be captured

in a flash of fire
