Beside the deeert mill, a clear and swift running brook bad at one time been dammed up. but now the data was partially broken away, and down it Um waters rushed beadloag, onueing musical sounds to fall upon the ear. as it came splashing, splashing, down in one place, while In another, where the water was shallow, the drip, drip, of Um water upon the stony surface below, caused at times sounds as of the tinkling of the balls of kiae in unseen pastures in the distance. A rustic bridge had been built across the brook, aad leaning over its ends were sycamore and chestnut trees. Tall oak aad hickory trees, with their heavy branches, formed a grove so dense, that only a few rays of Um sua could had their way through Um verdure above.
