THIS BOOK
IS AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED
The weather and the changes of the seasonsare such common and convenient topicsthat one need not apologize for talking aboutthem, though he says nothing new.
Still less need one make an apology ifhe becomes garrulous in relation to sceneswhich are now hidden from him by a curtainof darkness, or concerning some humbleacquaintances with whom he was once onfamiliar terms, but who now and hereaftercan only be memories, though they are yetnear him and he may still hear their voices.
So without excuse I offer this collectionof sketches, which with a few exceptionswere first published in the columns of "Forestand Stream."
