Excerpt from A Home for All: Or a New, Cheap, Convenient, and Superior Mode of Building Every living thing has its home. Foxes have holes, and squirrels, rats, reptiles, and all burrowing animals, excavate habitations in the earth, in which they shelter themselves from the merciless storm and the piercing cold, to which they flee for safety from the face of danger, and where they bring forth and rear their young. Ants, bugs, beetles, crickets, and even worms, dig themselves holes, in which to live and breed, while the more ingenious bee builds its six sided cells for storing its winter's provender, and reproducing its species. Bears and wolves have their homes in deep hollow trees or dark caverns; and even fishes deposit their spawn in crevices among the rocks, which serve as tempo rary habitations for their young. Fowls, endowed with a higher order of Constructiveness, choose their domicil, and erect their habitation, strengthened by timbers of twigs, plastered with mud, and softened with down, and there live together in love till they produce and rear the children of their happy union. Eagles build in the rugged crag, hawks in the high tree, and ducks in the miry marsh; but all build themselves habitations, each after its own taste.
