The May sunshine had lured forth some pioneer locusts, whose shrill cries came from who could tell where the tall swale-grass on the river edge, erect now again after the April floods, or the brown broom-corn nearer the road, or from the sky above?
The mountain is only about twenty-five hundred feet high: therefore, one loses no smallest shade of color in the view; even the difference between the green of broom-corn and clover records itself to the eye looking down from the mountain-top.

The horses had stopped, plunging at something which they could not pass. "Good God!" cried Franklin, "whose fence is that? Are we at Buford's?" "No," said Sam, "this must be at old man Hancock's. He fenced across the old road, and we had to make a jog around his d d broom-corn field. It's only a couple o' miles now to Buford's." "Shall I tear down the fence?" asked Franklin.
