trees and the bushes were yet loaded
with the rain-drops which had fallen
upon them, and the Doctors carriage,
as it wended its way from the Point, &C.
caSionally came in contact with the limbs
of the giant oaks and the ever green
Iaurpls, which then stood on either side
Of the way; a miniature shower would
lollow,--each pelIucid drop Of which
seemed to have condemned within ITS
