In the Sixties (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from In the Sixties

IN a country town near the interior of rockbound Maine, stood a small brown house, that in its more youthful days would have impressed the passing traveller with only a small idea of com fort and plenty; and now that it had braved the storms and winds of many seasons, its blackened and mossy surface spoke but too plainly of indigence within; yet nothing portrayed an idle shift lessness, which is often plainly pictured on old and timewom habitations. The small lawn in front, though limited in extent, was kept free from rubbish, and the grass still remained fresh and green, while the few flowers and climbing vines on each side of the low door, seemed inviting the soft rays of the western sun to hide 'mid the fluttering branches, and help relieve the lone house of its desolate look.
