your ears. Next morning you are wakened how do you suppose ? By a bugle horn ! Its notes wind over the rocks, and waters, and slumbering place, " Ah, so loud, and wild, and sweet I " that you open your eyes, believing life to be some dear, joyous, restful and magical thing. Where are you ? In an Alpine glade ? Or in the deep forests of the Scottish Highlands ? Nay ; rather, away out your window is the limitless sea. It plashes upon the rocks forever. You forget there are such things as great ci...ties, with their toiling multitudes. You forget the clattering mechanism of the world. The millions of households dotted over the land, the schools, the books, all seem so far, far away. You forget all but these little gray rocks in the ocean, with their own peculiar life, until it seems as if you had fallen upon that fabled lotus-land, where those who once go re- membei their own country no more. And this is Appledore, the largest of the Isles of Shoals, with its mile or more of rocks, chasms and cliffs, adorned with short abundant herbage, with its pleasant house for the entertainment of those at tracted thither, with its grassy slope to the wharf, where a fleet of small boats are in waiting to convey one, at will, to the adjacent islands, or whithersoevr you would go.
