A HOUSE OF MY OWN.

(Continued from Pagé ́6.} ·

I have vaguely sketched the little house that is now building for me, I have named my neighbours and given magical beauty that hovers and clings about those lonely acres, but I have said nothing of my deep- est purposes in choosing this world- forgotten place because those pur poses cannot be directly expressed, even when one knows them fully as

I do not. I might say that I ex- Ipect to entertain some thought there that would never come to me in any of my earlier and haphazard residences--for certain it is that one must make ready for thoughts and imaginings, as one does for honoured guests. Or again I might say that I expect to hear strains of music welling up from those cisterna of quietness such as I have never caught over the noises of the city. But these statements would not go to the heart of the matter.
