Windfalls Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Windfalls

We certainly do not allude to politics: that flows like a river, sometimes a mirror for heaven's blue, and at others dark with storms sometimes it runs low and shows frightful monsters on its banks, and all the while the life of the country is steadily rising this life, which includes so much, better manners, a friendlier intercourse, more sensible views on religion, a better architect ure and a better household art; galleries and public libraries springing up everywhere and, by the help of all these, a political sagacity daily growing and training itself for the great work of the future, for the hour seems to have struck when the man is outgrowing the garments of the child.
