Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Open Air: An Anthology of English Country Life Another form of isolation has been brought by mo tors into country districts. One's circle of friends is no longer the circle of a ten-mile radius. On the contrary, one's circle of friends has small geographical reference. One friend is forty miles in one direction, another twenty-five miles in another, half-a-dozen are in Lon don, one in Hampshire and so on. Thus people living in a place may have no part in that place fundamentally, or in any place. Whereas in the old days whoever lived round about you, unless they were extremely difficult, you fitted into your circle of friendship. The more so cially gifted thus helped out the less, and the whole was leavened. Now, by more peremptory standards, we choose only those With whom we are 'in sympathy' the spontaneous functions of local life consequently de cay and the number of lonely old people must be le gion. Young people must earn their living in cities, so the country that is not within week - encl radius of Lon don is given up to the elderly and retired.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Country Life No cloud no relic of the sunken day, Distinguishes the west; no long, thin slip Of sullen light - no Obscure, trembling hues. Come; we will rest on this old mossy bridge! You see the glimmer of the stream beneath, But hear no murmuring it flows Silently O'er its soft bed of verdure. All is still A balmy night! And though the stars be dim, Yet, let us think upon the vernal showers That gladden the green earth, and we Shall find A pleasure in the dimness of the stars. And hark! The nightingale begins its song, Most musical, most melancholy bird! A melancholy bird! Oh, idle thought! In nature there is nothing melancholy. 'tis the merry nightingale That crowds, and hurries, and precipitates With fast, thick warble his delicious notes, As he were fearful that an April night Would be too short for him to utter forth His lone chant, and disburden his full soul Of all its music!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ursula a Tale of Country Life It is pleasant to remember the events of years gone by. I shall try to recollect those of my own life. I may not be able to put down everything regularly, but some things that have happened cannot be forgotten, and these will help me to others. Mrs Weir was very kind in teaching me as she did when I was a girl. I suppose she never thought of the use I should put my learning to; and perhaps, after all, it may not be of use. I took little heed to advice which was given me when I was young, and so, perhaps, no heed will be given to me when I tell of my mistakes and difficulties. But time goes on fast, and I would fain, if I could, act up now to what Mrs Weir used to say, in her gentle way: 'Ursula, my child, we must do good in our generation' God knows, I have done little enough in mine. I may not always have fallen short wilfully, but there is not much comfort in such a thought when one secs what has been neglected, except as regards one's self and the hope of forgiveness. Anyhow, I can but strive to make up for it, and the thought of having striven may be a comfort when I come to die. I must begin at the beginning, the time which I can first remember. That was when we all lived at Sandcombe - my father, and mother, and William, and Roger, and I; - but I don't know much of those days. The farm must have been very different then from what it is now, and people's ways of going on must have been different too.

Download or read book Country Life Readers written by Cora Wilson Stewart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-14 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Country Life Readers: First Book There is an increasing demand for the education of adult illiterates who have somehow missed their opportunity in early life, and also for the better education of adults that have a very limited degree of learning. The city has provided for this need to some extent with evening Schools, designed mainly for foreigners. All the textbooks for evening schools have, therefore, been pre pared strictly for immigrants and city dwellers. Rural America is coming to realize that there exists a need for education among adults in the rural sections as much as among those in the cities. For this reason moonlight schools, rural evening schools, which begin their sessions on moonlight evenings, have been established and have now been extended to fifteen States. The people attending these schools demand textbooks which deal with the problems of rural life and which reflect rural life, and to meet this demand this book has been prepared. The author has utilized the opportunity when the rural dweller is learning to read to stimulate a livelier and more intelligent interest in such subjects as agriculture, horticulture, good roads, home economics, health and sanitation, and those subjects, which, if taught to him, will make for a richer and happier life on the farm. For illustrations and suggestions the author and publishers desire to express their thanks to the International Harvester Company, The Country Gentleman, The United States Forest Service, Mr. J. E. Barton, State Forester of Kentucky, Mr. Roy French, Prof. G. D. Smith, and Mrs. Cornelia Steketee Hulst. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Live, in the Country In writing a foreword to this book, I am spokesman for a multitude of readers, who join me in deep gratitude to the author for the practical wisdom and the joyful spirit he has put into his writings. He speaks from his own experience, and he knows birds as well as Burroughs, fruit as well as Burbank, intensive farming better than Kropotkin, and more than any other writer does he know the whole round of farm life and country attractions. In exploiting the positive delights of country life Mr. Powell has no rival. He takes them all in; the beauty, the poetry, the health, independence, and daily interests. There are pitfalls in farm life, not the least of which are the exaggerated hopes, inspired by special crops, machinery, pedigreed animals, climate, and market; he leads us into none of these. He advocates the farm as a home, not for exploiting hobbies, but where one may live a full life, round and rich. I go back to my boyhood when he had another kind of farming, with more acres and ruder ways. We raised our living, and had something to sell. There was school in winter and work all the time.
