These local topics are greatly diversified by politics, which, like crowfoot and white-weed, abound everywhere. Halifax has all sorts of talk.
Letting down five mouldering bars so moistly green, they seemed fished up from some sunken wreck a wigged old Aries, long-visaged, and with crumpled horn, came snuffing up; and then, retreating, decorously led on along a milky-way of white-weed, past dim-clustering Pleiades and Hyades, of small forget-me-nots; and would have led me further still his astral path, but for golden flights of yellow-birds pilots, surely, to the golden window, to one side flying before me, from bush to bush, towards deep woods which woods themselves were luring and, somehow, lured, too, by their fence, banning a dark road, which, however dark, led up.
Belle and the lieutenant had arrived, and they were having great sport about something. Belle was standing with the white cape bonnet in her hand.

Carter's cows, trod the short grass of the pasture, with its well-worn path running through gardens of buttercups and white-weed, and groves of ivory leaves and sweet fern. She descended a little hill, jumped from stone to stone across a woodland brook, startling the drowsy frogs, who were always winking and blinking in the morning sun.
How stimulating to growth a different habitat can prove, when at all favorable, is perhaps sufficiently shown in the case of the marguerite, which, as an emigrant called white-weed, has usurped our fields.

The old ten-gun battery, at the outer angle of the Juniper, very verdant, and besprinkled with white-weed, clover, and buttercups. The juniper-trees are very aged and decayed and moss-grown.
The grass-fields are plenteously bestrewn with white-weed, large spaces looking as white as a sheet of snow, at a distance, yet with an indescribably warmer tinge than snow, living white, intermixed with living green.
