Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from A Country Tragedy In moments of reverie a picture is often presented to my mind, so vividly and clearly, that I seem to be again standing in rapt contemplation of a scene once familiar and still dear to memory. The cultivated fields, on either sloping side of the valley, waving with grain and glistening with corn-blades, the village on a plain in the center, and the wood-crested hilltops, all harmoniously blend to complete the vision. The thrifty dwellers in this quiet spot had not thought to improve on the beauties of nature, but such was the result. The effects of their labors constituted half the charm. Along the southern side ran a small stream, which, when the snows melted in spring, rose above its banks and spread out to an alarming extent, while, in midsummer, as one of the old residents expressed it, the fish were put to it for a swimming place. Tradition has it that at one time these hills inclosed a lake which was drawn off and the land drained for cultivation.
