Excerpt from Pictures of Country LifeThe rain had fallen slowly and continuously since midnight - and it was now about noon, though a long controversy among the hands had decided the time, finally to be three o'clock no one among the dozen of them had a watch, except Lem Lyon, the most ill-natured, the least accommodating of all the work-hands on the farm, and no man ventured to inquire of him, for he was more than ordinarily unamiable to-day, and lay on the barn-door apart from his work-mates, with a bundle of oat-straw for his pillow, and his hat pulled over his eyes, taking no part in the discussion about the time, and affecting to hear nothing of it.One after another stepped forth, and essayed to see his shadow, but in vain - one after another looked Iup at the sky, and guessed at the whereabouts of the sun, but it was only guessing, for many a day has looked brighter after sunset than did that one at high moon.There was a half-holiday among the men, and as it had happened to fall the day after Sunday, it was less welcome than as if it had brought a log-rolling, brush-burning, or stone quarrying with it, for people little used to leisure are apt to find it lying heavily on their hands.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Josephine GalleryYet it was different with my father and young Wal dern. They kept their word and faith. They grew sober, but their hearts beat warmly, even in riper years. Their paths in life were very distinct, but their souls always turned towards each other, notwithstanding the distance which separated them. They married, but they never forgot their brotherlike tenderness. Once every year they visited each other, notwithstanding they were separated by a three days' journey. And even when they each had the engagements Of an Office, and a family Of children, they devoted two or three weeks to their annual visit.For several years, at first, the visits took place alternately at their different homes. Afterwards, it was usually my father who made the journey, and was entertained by his friends. I do not know how this happened; but Wald'ern was rich by marriage and inheritance, dwelt in the, city and held an Office at court, which gave him a great deal of occupation; these rea sons might have kept him at home. My father held the Office Of head Forester in a village; his house had no superfluous room for guests accustomed to luxury; perhaps it was more pleasant for him to see, once a year, the varied bustle Of the city, than for the courtier to inspect the woodcutting in a forest, or the table in a village; for some reason, however, it came at last to be the custom for my father, every summer, to take a jour ney and visit his friend.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
