Editor of tho Horald:
To convinoo you that your paper ar
rives regularly to my foreign address
as a groeting from borne, reoeived with
the samo delight oaoh week, I gladly
fulfill your desiro for anothor article
for publication if you think your pat
rons are interested. You may wondor
that thero is so much of interest to
write on tho subject I havo otiosen,
but whon you havo load it you will
oxolaim "Xlinuk lortuno wo live in u
free country, whoio tho old customs
and notions of our forefathers do
not bind us to so much inconvoienoe,
neither tho law of tho land." Nat
urally you find tbeso old ustoms re-
speotod iu tho country far mnro,
where, for instance, a farm, oallnd
"Hof," has beon banded down from
tho fathor to tho oldost son in the fami
ly, form generation to generation for
tho paBt COO years. Often whan aston
ished a. u most poeuliar fashion you
might ask, "Why do you insist on
keeping up tho habit?" your answer,
"It was always dono so uoro." That
Bottles matters, has becomo un unwrit
ten law; to bo unloyal to tho samo is
considered almost a orimo.
Whon tho oldest son on a Hof re
turns from his term of sorvico for his
country and lays off tho bluo coat and
sword, ho feels ho must oommenco lifo
Iu earnest now. Uo uas passed over
the threshold from youth to manhood
during the army lifo. Those who on
account of the laok of BufUoiont educa

which gives thorn froodom after one

with many a tender thought, iu tho
oirole of his host comrades, who in
turn givo him tho samo treat when the
opportunity offers itself.
Fritz's fathor, who has worked vorv
industriously many years, and the
faithful help-mato less, fool they can
not accomplish what thoy onco did,
and wish to rotiro. To Fritz now
comes the inherited right to tho Hof as
oldest son, but is obliged to pay each
of tho brothers and sistors a shnro iu
oush, so thoy oau start for themselves.
Suddenly thn sender of the liPHt bolo
gna ho over ate before or since in his
life, oomca to his mind and be decides
"she" is to bo his chosen one, If it
only depsndod upon his ohoieo and
tho warm feeling in his heart for her,
the matter would bo simple and easy
enougu to semo, um wool tnero aro
many questions besides his, and many
answers besides here, more complicated
to decide upon father and mother on
both sides and aftor them grandpa
rents also, who havo wishes to be io
spooted, Of ton there is an old maid

is of tho uncbaugenblo, unremarkable

tomorrow, Sho has her privato rooms,
the light to them alfo rosorvos ovuti it
u stranger should pnrohnso tho prop

sidered by Fritz & Go is tho size and
weight of his friend's pocket book.
Ho calls that couuting bor buttons,
That is important, us ho finds after he
has paid oft all tho shares, his menus
aro somewhat limited. Wool thut ex
