Passing beyoiid the crowcl and the hops, I come upon large gardens, careïssly tended, but ablaze with color - mail paddocfcs of maize, and littlo beds .L tottaÖÖtt lu oeh green and shady ompouiid stand a uüinbet oí' sheds and ■rectious, built with tlio extravagaaco if rooin which tells tbat land liag little 'aluo. The cottage, ncat onough, whiterashed, glazed, grated, and roofed vith ruddy tiles, occupies the midst, yell back froni the higkway, and ap)rcftc)ied through htxuriant weeds anc íowers. A imgö sentry stands at nearly 3very gate, and overhead waves the red 31-oss banner. I ente? -yit1aout dittioulty, isking for the doctor. A bright little lady, who look tile ideal of a nurse, bustling, ecolding, laugliingj nd qnick as fay, runs out to ask my wishes.
