V ` It isnow late in December. and in con- trast with its leafy. retirement the old v homestead stands `out with a sharp dis`- tinctness in thepwhite landscape ; and*y'e`t' its sober hue harmonizes with the (lar`k boles of the trees, and suggests that like them, it is a neutral growth of the soil, and quite as capable `of covering `itself with foliage inthecommg-' spring. This in a sense will be truewnen the greenery and blossoms of the twistaria honey- suckle and grape-vines appear, lor their bres and tendrills have c ung to the old house so long that they ma well be deemed an inseparable part 0 it. Even A now it seems that the warmth, light, and comfort w1_thin are sustaining inuences. which will carry them through the com- _ _ing days of frost and storm. A tall pine-_. tree towers above the northern gable of the dwelling, and it is ever sighiug and moaningto itself, as if it possessed some unhappy family secret which it can neither reveal nor forget. On the hither side of its shade a -carriage-drive curved toward an ancient horseblock, with many a lichen growing onthe upper side of the weather-beaten planks and supports. From this platform, where guests had been alighting for a century or more, the. drive passed an old fashioned carriage- house, in which were the "family sleigh and a light gayly painted cutter, reveal- ing that the home was not devoid of the _ young life to which winter s most exl1il- i erating pastime was so clear. A quaint , corn-crib was near, with its mossy posts capped with inverted tin pans much cor- , roded with rust, which prevented rats and mice from climbing up into the 1 golden treasure-house. Still further be- J] I - youd were the gray old barn and stables. facing the south. l\'eir t`_13`irdoo s n the sunny side. of the ample yard stood half . a dbzen ruminating cows, with possibly` i a dim consciousness between their wide- 1 branching horns of. the elds, now so f white and cold, from which had been cropped fargjuicier morsels in the summer I long `past. Even into their sheltered ` nook the sun, far down in the south, 1 threw `but c 1d and watery gleams from a 1 steel-colored) shy, and as the northern g blast eddied around the sheltering build- 3 ings the poor creatures shivered, and 1] when`the_ir morning airing was over, were f gl ad'to` return to their warm, straw-litter- ed stalls.

He was by no means decient in imagination,` or even in appreciation of the beautiful side of nature, when his thoughts were directed to this phase of the outer world; but his imagination a had become materialistic, and led only . to an eager quest after the obscure laws Dz of cause and etfect, which might enable I him to accomplish what to his plodding - neighbors would seem almost mirac- t ulous. He understood that the forces with which he was dealing were well- nigh innite ; and it was his delight to v study them, to combine them, and make . them his servants. It was his theory that the energy in nature was like a vast motive power, over which man i could throw the belt of his skill and . knowledge, and so produce results com- < mensurate with the force of which he J I availed himself. There was therefore` ,` "an unfailing zest in his work, and the I majority of his labors had the character` 1 of experiments, which nevertheless were _i so guided by experience that they were 1 I t rarely futile or unremunerative, On themes that accorded with his tastes and pursuits he would often talk earnestly and well, but his silence and E preoccupation at other times proved ` that it is not well to be dominated bv 13 one idea, even though it be a large on. rendr ITIIIV nnur-nn-nnJn.. 1.3-.--11' Burtis, the younger.brother,had gone throughvcollege after a sort of neck or nothing fashion, and had been destined for oneof the learned professions ; but whilehis natural ability had enabled I -him 'to run the gauntlet of examina- tions, he had evinced such a unconquer- able. dislike for restraint and plodding study that he had been -welcomed back ' to the paternal acres, which were broad ~ enough for them all. Mr. Clifford by various means had acquired consider- able property in his day, and was not all disappointed that his sons should ' prefer the primal calling to any other, ` since it was within his power to estab- r lish them well when they were ready V t for a separate domestic life. It must be admitted, however, that thus far the rural tastes of Burtis, his youngest son, were chiey for free `out-of-door life, with its accessories of rod,_ gun and horses. But Leonard, the eldest, and : Webb, the second in years, were true : children of the soil in the better sense ' of the word. fl`h_eir country home shad ` been so replete with- interest from earli- est memory that they had taken root there like the trees their father had l 1 I planted.` Leonard was a practical far- 1 met, content in a. measure to follow the 1 traditions of the elders. Webb, on the ` other hand, was disposed to look past a the outward aspects of nature to her i hidden moods and motives,'and to take 1 all the advantage possibleof his discov- I eries. The farm was to him a `1abora- V tory, and with something of the spirit as of the old alchemists he read, studied, r and broodedover the problem of pro- c Lducing the largest results at the lea Anni ll`. -nu.

The first was: the y` ungest son offthe aged man atthe headof the table. He had inherited` his father's features ,`- but ' there was a `dash of recklessness. _hlend~ ed with the manifest frartkness of. his expression, and in his blue` eyes? there ' was little trace_ of `shrewd jealculation or forethought. Even`_ during the quiet 'mid-daymeal theyashed with an ir- repressible mirthfulness, and not one at the tableescaped hisaggressivenonsense. His brother, two or three years his senior, was of .a very difiarent type, and seemed somewhat overshadowed by the other's brilliancy. He had his mother's dark eyes, but they were deep and-_gr._ave, and he appeared reserved and silent even in the home circle. His bronzed features were almost rugged in their strengt but a _ heavy mustache gave `a touch o . something like manly beauty. to his rather sombre face. You felt'instinctive_l.y. that he was one who `would take life seriously-perhaps a little too ` seriously-1-"anid. whether it brought him 'joy7 orisorrow, he would admitthe `world butncharily to his con- dence; .
