Jasper County Democrat, Volume 21, Number 82, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 January 1919 — Forest Music. [ARTICLE]

Forest Music.

What |s sweeter than a murmur of leaves, unless It be the musical gurgle of water that runs secretly and cuts under the roots of the trees, and makes little bubbling pools that laugh to see the drops stumble over the roots and plump down Into its bosom? But what if one sits between both kinds of music, leaves above and water below? What if birds ore among the leaves, sending out random calls, far-piercing and sweet, . . . and if you have been there half an hour without moving, and if you will still keep* motionless, .you -may see what they who only walk through the forests neve? see.— Henry Ward Beecher.
