It is a glen where the shadows seem to be clothed with whisperings of peace rest so irresistibly soft and sweet as to make the tired nerves forget to ache and the brain to worry. IIills surround it on all sides like bul warks con-,trticted by nature to keep out all (listirhing elements and leave this place to peace and rest.
