Pagina 206 - This fact speaks volumes, of the attention, which is paid at these schools, to delicacy of manners, and refinement of feeling. None but the very poorest families think of living without such a convenience at home; and a man, who should build a good dwelling-house, but provide no place for retirement when performing the most private offices of nature, would be thought to give the clearest evidence of a coarse and brutal mind. Yet respectable parents allow their children to go to a school where this...

Yet a larger number are often confined in a smaller room, and during a much longer time, without any possibility of a change of air. The effect of this is to excite disease and impair the more delicate organs of the body. The most virulent poison could scarcely be more fatal. The only remedy is to provide means for the rapid and frequent change of the...
Pagina 215 - A tree, undoubtedly, is one of the most beautiful objects in nature. Airy and delicate in its youth, luxuriant and majestic in its prime, venerable and picturesque in its old age, it constitutes in its various forms, sizes, and developments the greatest charm and beauty of the earth in all countries. The most varied outline of surface, the finest combination of picturesque materials, the stateliest country house would be comparatively tame and spiritless, without the inimitable accompaniment of foliage....
Pagina 216 - We stand among the fallen leaves," and gaze upon their dying glories. And in winter we see in them the silent rest of nature, and behold in their leafless spray, and seemingly dead limbs, an annual type of that deeper mystery — the deathless sleep of all being. By the judicious employment of trees in the embellishment of a country residence, we may effect the greatest alterations and improvements within the scope of Landscape Gardening. Buildings which are tame, insipid, or even mean in appearance,...
Pagina 219 - ... of completeness. The drooping elm, as a single tree, is unsurpassed for grace and beauty, when sufficient space is left for expansion. It is specially adapted to a level or moderately hilly region. The maple, basswood, and yellow birch are admirable either as single trees or as members of a group. Groups may consist of several kinds of trees that are harmonious in character, planted so closely together that at a little distance they have the appearance of a single object. They should always be...
Pagina 216 - ... deathless sleep of all being. By the judicious employment of trees in the embellishment of a country residence, we may effect the greatest alterations and improvements within the scope of Landscape Gardening. Buildings which are tame, insipid, or even mean , in appearance, may be made interesting, and often picturesque, by a proper disposition of trees. Edifices, or parts of them that are unsightly, or which it is desirable partly or wholly to conceal, can readily be hidden or improved by wood;...
Pagina 191 - For twenty square yards of wall, take three pecks of mason's putty (white finish), three pecks of clean, white sand, and three pecks of ground and calcined plaster ; add to this mixture three pounds of lampblack dissolved in three gallons of alcohol, and lay it on evenly and smoothly.
Pagina 207 - Johonnot, after quoting the above passages, remarks : " The evils here so vividly and truthfully pointed out, are not confined to the districts where no privies are built, but they apply in an almost equal degree to country districts, where one small mere apology for a privy is furnished. In a majority of cases a slight building, made of rough boards, is erected, of such a character that it answers no purpose of retirement, and is only useful as a very poor and inadequate screen. It is usually situated...
