flock to them for health and pleasure, bring
ing their wives and children, coming early in
the season and staying late, until even the
birds OF passage take their southern flight. 4
fine newspaper article could be written upon
the particular beauties Of each Of these de-
lightfnily located places but the present pNr-
pose Is t. suggest rather than to describe i'll
detail. An amateur poet Of some local rtpu-
tatioli has told in rustic verse how he and his
friends spent the tine:
Ono day WI fed with willing feet
Fruln far-spent summers tclselcss heat,
From city noise ani crowded street.
10 lind some cool ind calm r.1rcar.
Where lazy thought might rest the brain,
And ease er7ase the labor stain
Of oyerwurk: where loss and gln
Could find no ear for their complaint.
Nor mar endowment with their tuint:
Sn1nc place where latent ccl,oS lay
All u!aaisurbcd by shrieking neigh
Of iron horse upon its way;
And where the swift electric fire
Cannot awaken the desire
To know the acts OF busy men.
Who drudge and toll with l,..ud and pen:
But where the sports Of sl,ran. and field
Their hcalthtul pleasures ticry yield;
Bring back To weary eyes tire sleep
That Childhood knew, but could not keep.
How passed the days remembrance tells
Sweet as the sound OF marriage bells;
The song OF bird III woodland glen,
The search for lilies i'll the Ten:
The ltw-roicc nlurlnurS the beach
Uf waters, like It lovers speech;
The awkward dip OF r1lstic's eur,
Who ne'er had pulled !. boat before;
The merry laugh and witty thrust.
Aud rare ;.ttsu1:c sports discussed;
Tho idle anglers holding Out
The b:titcd lines to lure the trout;
The sail-l'ou,s t'e;ting up the bay
The naidens tall.ling 1t.u,ltlcluy;
farm lawn Just beyond the WHY,
Alive with youngsters ut cr0g1cl:
High baix> thick -clothed In scr1,s! green,
Are in the placid waters seen-
Sweet Natures mirror IiIy-I;mmed, |
And Summers sky with clouds belnamed;
Or when be stars are III their track |
1t gives them nli their bt:,ut: back;
And from The busnlD Of the lake,
Ne watch tue cs:slrse the planets take.
Sometimes with ncseleSs beat VIC tuok
The usrs, and lines. and anglers hook,
And rtWed into the t;u;ct monk
Where empties in the laughing brook
To sit beneath the shade of tcech,
And drop our lines within the reach /
0f some sly trcut- CT cunning bass,
That lets the lait UNDECIDED pass,
With lazy motion Of the fin.
