Let tlie reader imagine the verge of a young plantation of some thirty years' growth, to which memory calls us back after more years than we like to think of. In this plantation, which had been planted by a retired physician, a keen botanist and a lover of science, the rarest trees known eighty years back were intermingled with the ash, the elm, the birch, and a sprinkling of spruce and other pine-trees. A limpid brook, just large enough to ornament the hanging woods and mingle its murmurings with the song of birds, traverses the wood in a meandering course for upwards of a mile, skirted by the once trim and stiU pleasant walk, although its gravel is now covered with weeds, and its shrubbery a tangled thicket; but all the better for its feathered inhabitants. Crossing the stile and penetrating the thicket, we are landed in a small triangular meadow, through wliich the brook meanders, after tumbling over.
