OUR PICTURESQUE ANCESTORS.
MY DEAR ARCHITECT: I've no doubt it would be vastly agreeable to you to have
Mrs. John keep up this end of the correspondence. Very gratifying, too, to another
party,-the paper-makers. It would be a big thing for them. But I don't want to hire a
housekeeper, even in so good a cause, not till I have a house.
In spite of Mrs. John's devotion to her first love (I mean the stone walls), it is, as you
say, quite possible that our family mansion will be wood; and Barkis is willin' to hear
what you have to say about it.
One topic in your reply to my wife's historical report I hope you will work up more
fully. Just explain, if you can, why the cheap buildings we have nowadays are so much
less satisfactory to look at than those built fifty or a hundred years ago. Do you suppose
the bravest artist that ever swung a brush would dare put an ordinary two-story house of
modern style on the front seat in a New England landscape? It would ruin his reputation if
he did,-even without the French roof. Can you tell why? There's no such objection to the
homesteads of a generation or two ago. Don't tell me age is venerable, and moralize
about the sacred associations and old-time memories that lend a halo of poetry and
romance and what-'s-his-name to these relics of the past. That's all very well in its place,
but if our grandchildren can discover anything artistic or even picturesque in our common
houses of to-day, they'll be a progeny of enormous imaginations,-regular Don Quixotes;
windmills will be nothing to them.
Yours,
JOHN.
