Harvest. Fern Cutting. Vraic Gathering. Florence Nightingale. The Ladies of Bouley. Adieu to Bouley. How delightful it is after the cares and troubles of public life, to retire into the sweet enjoyment of domestic and rural life. There was a certain old gentleman of whom I recollect reading when I was a boy, by the name of Cincinnatus, who after defeating the enemies of his country and having done a vast deal of public good, retired from the busy world and took to domestic pursuits, and was rat...her fond of his garden. " What's that that roars 176 A HOBBLE THROUGH so loud and thunders in the index ?" I dare say my readers will exclaim. Is it possible that he is going to compare his hero with the great Roman warrior. Most certainly not I never dreamed of such a thing, I only wish to shew that one principle may apply to different objects, though of course in different degrees. Now if a great man like Cincinnatus could find so much enjoyment in the retirement into rural and domestic life, leaving as he did all his honours behind him, hiding the glory of his achievements in obscurity, and foregoing all pretensions to public adulation, and that too in the very prime and vigour of his life how much more delightful must it be to a poor crippled invalid, who had no honours to lose, and no glory to obscure, and who at the age of life when man is in his prime, very much resembled a good ship, that numbering but a small amount of years in its age has yet encountered such severe gales that it has been tried all but to foundering, and requires such a lengthened period of docking to put her right again, that the query is whether she will ever be fit for service any more ; how much more delightful, I say, must it be to him, to find the sweet and invigorating repose of THE CHANNEL ISLANDS.
