. Around an old homestead; a book of memories. Huston, Paul Griswold; Farm life; Natural history. THE OLD MUZZLE-LOADING RIFLE. 75 spun, its pioneer-like independence and adventure and simplicity of life. I again shoulder the old muzzle- loader and shoot a brace of squirrels before breakfast. The older generation, tottering and wrinkled, is passing into a loving remembrance and is giving way to the new. The past, with its inimitably beautiful romance and its things of pathos and love, has given place in a large measure, except in memory, to the present, with its energy, glowing life, hopes, and its own romance and poetry—that, too, soon to be a tale and perhaps to be forgotten. The hills in the distance, as seen from the old homestead, seem to me in their sunset glory to be the symbol of the great West, the West that was filled with romance and adventure, and of which we all dreamed, and for which we longed, in childhood. A good deal of the old woods has been cleared away now, and the green hills beyond can be seen more plainly. The pioneer has left the old home- stead, and has gone far beyond into the regions of the prairie and the great forest; and with him the older, aye, and perhaps the better, because the more simple, life—with all its ennobling and precious and endur- ing associations, still so dear to many hearts—has gone now forever^ never to return, brushed aside like a cobweb by the relentless onward march of progress. But the memory of it clings, and will linger and cling through the years, for from such beginnings sprang the bone and sinew of the nation. ANTLERS AND POWDER-HORN.
