Text Appearing After Image:
GERMANTOWN. 21 The author inserts the following article, among these notes, which he hadwritten for the Telegraph before this series began. JAMES LOGAN AND HIS COUNTRY SEAT. SONNET TO STENTON. (By our beloved and Honored Friend, Deborah Logan. Written in 1815,for her affectionate relatives, W. Logan and Sarah L. Fisher.) My peaceful home ! amidst whose dark green shadesAnd sylvan scenes my waning life is spent,Nor without blessings and desired content!Again the spring illumes thy verdant glades,And rose-crowned Flora calls the JEonma maidsTo grace with songs her revels, and prevent,By charmed spells, the nipping blasts which, bentFrom Eurus or the stormy North pervadesHer treasures—still tis mine among thy grovesMusing to rove, enamord of the fameOf him who reared these walls, whose classic loreFor science brightly blazed, and left his nameIndelible—by honor, too, approved.And virtue cherished by the Muses flame. A house like Stenton, which is supposed to have been finished in A.
