There is something charming in country life in England, especially to those who have been for a long time pent up in a crowded city like London. The home of Mr. Henry Unipod, farmer and grazier, was certainly a comfortable one; beneath its ample roof it contained almost everything one could need to make home happy. Cosiness and cleanliness vied with each other to make every part of this abode delightful. It was impossible to telfwhich Jo admire the most, the perfect order preserved in the establishment, or the thorough cheerfulness of those who made such order possible all were happy. At daylight the farm hands met in the large hall adjacent to the parlor, the table spread with chines of bacon, smoking hot vegetables, and brown bread; pies of an enormous size, containing pork and peas, onions and apples, in a solidified mass of jelly, seasoned in the "Black jacks," or most agreeable manner. jugs full of foaming homemade beer, and pitchers of the whitest kind of earthen ware, filled with sparkling water fresh from the hands spring.

And as Stamford was the nearest town to conveniently reach "Whittam on the hill," which could be done by post chaise, it was decided to secure inside places by the said stage coach, for which the very respectable sum of two guineas was accordingly paid, "as a guarantee that Mr. and Mrs. Unipod would be passengers on the day bargained for, or forfeit the money." cheese-makin- to-morr- g.

As to the "parlor folks," they were attended to by a maid servant, whose duty it was' to have meals prepared in the kitchen, and to wait upon the household, she having the keys of sundry closets and rooms; as butteries, cheeserooms, and receptacles for hams, pickle!, preserves and groceries, for domestic consumption. The parlor life at Farmer Unipod s was pleasant in the extreme. They were on visiting terms with the gentry, intimately acquainted with the vicar and his lady, and the curate never passed the door without calling in to retail the news of the day and take "just one glass of Mr. Unipod's famous ale," Mr. Unipod himself was a genial gentleman, who had made money by stock raising; he hud some of the finest meadows in the county, kept good horses, of which he was a most excellent judge; he had good shooting and fishing on hw farm, was liberal to the poor, and a regular attendant at church. Such a man could not be other And than respected in the neighborhood. when it was known that "Master William," the eldest son of the worthy farmer, had brought down his young wife from London, everybody was anxious to make her acquaintance, and to extend to her their hospitalities.
