Beaming, cleaning fairly streaming thro' the

And 1 watched the streamlet glistenng.
/ As entranced There was listening ah$#8
| To the melting, merry music of the breeze;
| When beneath tree reclining,
| Where no ray of sun was shining,
| Lol / saw fellow-being on the ground
| Though no other feature shifted,
! Quickly, soon his eyes uplifted
| Upward lifted, as he wildly looked around.
| Good friend, said |, approaching, IS. e.
/ Do not charge me with encroachng
| Are you waiting for some messenger of news :?
| But no other word he uttered, sef9lGsy

1 Where no ray of sun was shining, rss- s FL Il
And frequently wondered at what the man
spoke in the woods;
Thinking surely it was mystery, sA
And that some hidden history uas Vt.gfg
Was weaving round myself and Simons goods,
So then / resolved to try them,
Then couldn't help but buy them,
And, behold Ive cause for gladness,
