1I could not but notice some of the peculiarities of my visitors. Girls and boys and young women generally seemed glad to
2be in the woods. They looked in the pond and at the flowers, and improved their time. Men of business, even farmers,
3thought only of solitude and employment, and of the great distance at which I dwelt from something or other; and though
4they said that they loved a ramble in the woods occasionally, it was obvious that they did not. Restless committed men,
5whose time was all taken up in getting a living or keeping it; ministers who spoke of God as if they enjoyed a monopoly
6of the subject, who could not bear all kinds of opinions; doctors, lawyers, uneasy housekeepers who pried into my
7cupboard and bed when I was out,--how came Mrs. ---- to know that my sheets were not as clean as hers?--young men who
8had ceased to be young, and had concluded that it was safest to follow the beaten track of the professions,--all these
9generally said that it was not possible to do so much good in my position. Ay! there was the rub. The old and infirm and
10the timid, of whatever age or sex, thought most of sickness, and sudden accident and death; to them life seemed full of
11danger,--what danger is there if you don't think of any?--and they thought that a prudent man would carefully select the
12safest position, where Dr. B. might be on hand at a moment's warning. To them the village was literally a com-munity, a
13league for mutual defence, and you would suppose that they would not go a-huckleberrying without a medicine chest. The
14amount of it is, if a man is alive, there is always danger that he may die, though the danger must be allowed to be less
15in proportion as he is dead-and-alive to begin with. A man sits as many risks as he runs. Finally, there were the
16self-styled reformers, the greatest bores of all, who thought that I was forever singing,-- This is the house that I
17built; This is the man that lives in the house that I built; but they did not know that the third line was,-- These are
18the folks that worry the man That lives in the house that I built. I did not fear the hen-harriers, for I kept no
19chickens; but I feared the men-harriers rather. I had more cheering visitors than the last. Children come a-berrying,
20railroad men taking a Sunday morning walk in clean shirts, fishermen and hunters, poets and philosophers; in short, all
21honest pilgrims, who came out to the woods for freedom's sake, and really left the village behind, I was ready to greet
22with,--"Welcome, Englishmen! welcome, Englishmen!" for I had had communication with that race.
