And Florence says the same thing about herself. Let me elaborate: The cottage we lived in was pot | strictly beautiful, but it was comfort- a able, and in a pleasant place, with an orchard before it, and we traiaed creep- ers on trellises about it, and planted roses and flowering shrubs slong the stone wails. It wasa fresh, sweet place to live in, and the children had a lovely playground. At first Florence had no servant, and worked very hard, but she was young and well and strong, and she declared that she did not get so tired as ghe had often done ir our oid home with the thousand and one society duties from which she was exempt now. ** And the balance in favor of this is,” she added, “that now I get tired in ac- complishing something.” I enjoyed my life even the first day, for, as nobody knew me, I had no loss of caste to fer, and it was amusing to me to see the puzzled faces of my cus- tomers. who seemed to feel that in some way I was not to the manor born, and were evidently pleased with my Lhum- ble airs and graces, like to study human nature, and now I saw much of it at home and off its guard. This delighted me.

It is an enormous bronze statue of a female figure holding a wreath, and is typical of the glory of | the kingdom of Bavarian. It is > on a natural terrace which exists in the | suburbs of Munich, whereon, at the | giddy height of thirty or forty feet, a number of beer and music gardens wre | placed, commanding the only view of the city which can be had, save from | the littie park on the other siae ot the Isar. The Bavaria statue is so very large that eight or nine people can | crowd into Its head, the inner side of the nose being a favorite seat, Looking out of the little peep-holes, the upraised arm, a few feet distant, proves to be | about the size of a chimney of a North river steamboat. The figure has a sort of chignon at the back of the head, the interior of which contains a copper | plate inscribed with a brief history of | the statue. Behind the Bavaria is a corridor or pavilion in classical style, containing busts of numerous German celebrities | and of a great many more who are ce- lebrities no longer. Painters, preachers architects, musicians, diplomatists are all represented in this marble group. Jelly, Hans Sachs, Orlandi di Lassn (whose house in an old street is marked {by a commemorative siab), Holbein, Cranach, Durer, Gluck and others are among the number, the latest addition being the artist Cornelius.
