No one ever came there, excepting that now and then on a Saturday the little boys who lived over yonder would pass by with their fishing-poles, jump the fence, and disappear in the hazel thickets. The Bob Whites didn't mind the boys, unless Nip happened to be along, nosing about in search of some mischief to get into.
When seated by the bright fire, "the boys" told me their history. These canes were to be utilized as fishing-poles, and being carefully assorted and fastened into bundles, were to be shipped to Cincinnati by steamer, and from there by rail to Cleveland, Ohio, where Mr. Farrar, their consignee, would dispose of them for the party.
It was a bachelor's apartment, characteristically furnished in the taste of the proprietor.

Solomon John had put in some fishing-poles; Elizabeth Eliza, a book of poetry. Mr.
