       Table of Contents

      Of the stories in this volume, "Farmer Jeremy and his Ways" has already appeared in the Cornhill; "The Magic Formula," "The Professor's Mare," and "White Roses" in the Atlantic Monthly. These are reprinted with the permission of the respective Editors. Some additions have been made which were precluded by the shorter form of the magazine story.

      "He that hath found some fledged bird's nest may know,

       At first sight, if the bird be flown;

       But what fair well or grove he sings in now,

       That is to him unknown.

      And yet, as angels in some brighter dreams

       Call to the soul while man doth sleep;

       So some strange thoughts transcend our wonted themes,

       And into glory peep."

      Henry Vaughan, 1655.
