Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Eclectic Magazine, 1870 T is not difficult to elicit praise of rural life from the tired citizen who escapes from his ordinary duties for a few short dog-days. His surroundings a-re rose - colored by contrast, and he does not abide with Nature long enough to grow weary of her blandish ments. Much of his enjoyment depends upon the sense of present deliverance from routine. The crisp morning air seems to pervade his entire system, revitalising deep-seated organs, restoring lost appetite, and bringing back the experiences of youth. Country milk and butter are dainties fit for the gods, and he wonders why they don't grow in town. The odors which the gentle breeze brings from the clover-neld, or from wild-grape blossoms in the still woods, are marvellously refresh ing 3 and he muses upon the possibility of bottling a supply to refresh his olfactories when he gets back to the bricks. The chirp of birds, the hum of insects, the rustling of leaves, are all novel Opera-airs, and he would like to combine their strange melodies and have them ground out of a town hand - organ. It looks like a shameful waste for Nature to shake out these luxuries in limitless profusion from her storehouses, or to leave them lying about loose where there are so few to appreciate them. These are the first impressions, and they are renewed every summer. He thinks he will certainly cultivate Nature's acquaintance when his accumulations are large enough, and bid farewell to Bills Payable and all kindred commercial horrors. But a longer residence among the flowers and birds reveals certain drawbacks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
