Contented Idleness.

The peasantry of the island of Corfu are reputed to be the idlest of all the inhabitants of lonian Islands. They cultivate no gardens, and import the garlic and onions which form n luge portion of their diet. Mr. Gladstone, talking about his visit to Greece, gave his testimony to confirm the Wanders’ reputation. He said he had never seen such complete and contented idleness as at Corfu, where he once came across three aan leisurely driving two turkeys along the road. It was ease without dignity.
