A VISITOR’S VIEWS.

many of the ladies, in their
most helpful letters, have
asked me to write them my
iuipicviuus of the Wood bland inis

As I h ive read the letters printed
from time to time in the News Letter
’1 ere seems to bt very little left to
tell; however, 1 will try to write of
the little things that . man thinks
are not worth while publishing, hut
wliieh are o'.um the very th.u: a
7roman wants to know. So if some
u! the re.uiy important features are
p ' 1 • \ . and what would Seem, to
the masculine mind, minor points.ire
dwelt upon, it is net because we are
unappiceiative of these weightier
(juestions.
From this stand-point I will give

away home which (lod has put into
YiHtr hearts to m.»ke for His helpless,
homeless, “othe. peoj e ’"children.
Thinking of the home as a whole,
one is impressed by the atmosphere
«.f uu.issu ucd cheerfulness, the air
of -o\ und the peace of t»o<l that

it like a heuedietio n.
The little children and babies are

I look the children out for a walk.
To sisakr it fe.'tive- 01 ho! iday-like,
“(* ratal ilia V.'am pi .el I ’ allowed the
girl*-, to wear theii prettily made pink
and white gingham aprons.
As wc roamed through the we'-ds
I thought I had never *».*en a pretti

and there hunting birds' nests, in

oversight of thirtv seven nests.
1 believe lie knows the exact stage
of life i:i each, it is worth a great
deal to sec his eyes shine as lie care
fully holds hack the branches while
all the children come to peep at the
little bine eg ns, or laugh out in glee
at the gieai hungry mouths of the
fledgelings.
