Young maid who sets near lovely stream
| of water, 10 which she has driven her
.lnilch COWS, and into whose listening
ears he pours the tender tale, so old, yet
always new. She, abashed, hears not the
nurmuring waters at her feet, and sees
not the browsing kline, but, sealed by the
silvery mountain stream, she looks
| thoughtfully at the bending water-lillles
upon the bosom of the mirrored surface,
and reads in its graceful dependence the
tale of love the handsome stranger tells.

bridge, lust below the mill. you will find
this same coupie-he fishing and she
| taking the fish from the hook, and both

third shows another trystring place, to

hand the acknowledgement of her love

entirely odd, since you see neither of the
suitors but the COWS alone beside the
laughing waters, yet, inst over the hills,
you see new settlement. 1t is not the
one above the old mill. but new one,
and the fifth and last of the series will
unfold the mystery as to the absence OF
both the parties from the usual Watering
place with the COWS. 1t represents the
business side of lfe-real lfe-for yon
