Excerpt from Swaying Tree Tops
The very quietness of nature is gradually withdrawn from us; thousands who once in their necessarily prolonged travel were sub jected to an influence, from the silent sky and slumbering fields, more efl'ectual than known or confessed, now bear with them even there the ceaseless fever of their life; and along the iron veins that traverse the frame of our country, beat and flow the fiery pulses of its ewertion, hotter and faster every hour. All vitality is concentrated through those throb bing arteries into the central cities; the country is passed over like a green sea by narrow bridges, and we are thrown back in.
