As he rode he began to sing aloud, in a voice not remarkable, but good enough to give pleasure "As Joseph was a-walking, He heard an angel sing, 'This night shall be born Our Heavenly King " "Yes, I remember that one quite well," said Captain Marchmont, and proceeded to sing in an excellent bass, "He neither shall be born In housen nor in hall, Nor in the place of Paradise, But in an ox's stall
They wuz low, and had broad eaves, and a sort of a piazza a-runnin' all round 'em; they seemed to be kinder plastered on the outside; and the doors and winders I wouldn't want to swear to it but they did seem to be wood frames covered with paper, that would slide back and forth, and the partitions of the housen seemed to be made of paper that could be slipped and slided every way, or be took down and turn the hull house into one room.
Thar she stands the darling as pale nor a lily, and crying like all nater, jest as if her little heart war a going to break and done with it. I 'spect the varmints is hatching some orful plans to put us out o' the way prehaps to hitch us to the stake and burn us all to cinder, like they did our housen, and them things.
And then we went by big meetin'-housen, and other big housen, whose ruffs seemed so high that it seemed as if you could stand up on the chimblys and shake hands with the man in the moon, and neighbor with him. And then the talk I hearn 22 miles of river frontage sweepin' up from the lake into the heart of the city, where the giant elevators unload their huge traffic.

The other paintin', on the same side, is the work of Miss Fairchild, of Boston, and it shows our old Puritan 4 Mothers hard to work, a-takin' care of their housen and doin' up the work. Likely old creeters they wuz, and industrius. Opposite, on the east side, is a panel by Mrs. Lydia Emmet Sherwood another group of wimmen; good-lookin' wimmen they be, all on 'em.
As for me, a perfect troop of lofty emotions wuz sweepin' through my mind, as I looked 'round me on the very same seen our Lord had looked at. Low old-fashioned stun housen such as He might have entered in, men and wimmen clad in long robes such as He wore.

They'd roit, and roit, and roit, and tak' oot the dook-gunes to un they would, as they did five-and-twenty year agone. Never to goo ayond the housen! never to go ayond the housen! Kill me in a three months, that would bor', then!" "Are you a farmer?" I asked, at last, thinking that my turn for questioning was come. "I bean't varmer; I be yooman born. Never paid rent in moy life, nor never wool.
Their housen are beautiful, truly Oriental white, with decorations of pale green, blue, and vermilion. One is a theatre that will hold 600 folks. Then comes the panorama of the big volcano Kilauana.
