The greener meadowland seemed oppressed with this idea, and made no positive attempt at vegetation until the work of reclamation should be complete. In the bitter fruit of the low cranberry bushes one might fancy he detected a naturally sweet disposition curdled and soured by an injudicious course of too much regular cold water.
Perhaps the soothing presence of the cranberry saucepan was timely; for, without any design, a phase of our subject next presented itself which was not the most agreeable. I broke the silence, and said, "Mr. North, what do you think is the mission of the abolitionists as a party, and of all who sympathize with them?" "Why," said he, "to abolish slavery, to be sure. What else can it be?"
A coarse broad-bladed grass growing in bunches prevails near the sea shore; a taller variety, of quite thick and luxuriant growth, on the meadows, while a species of red top was found on the higher lands. Strawberries, already in blossom, thickly covered the shore in many places. Cranberry vines were also found on two of the meadows.
After all, there were some consolations in being alive and in a state of health not "debilitated." I began to whistle. A quarter of a mile from the junction of the Shore Lane, on the Lower Road, was a willow-shaded spot, where the brook which irrigated Elnathan Mullet's cranberry swamp ran under a small wooden bridge.
There is a large cranberry marsh somewhere at the back of Kingston, where vast quantities grow. I heard a young gentleman, say that he passed over this tract when he was hunting, while the snow was on the ground, and that the red juice of the dropped berries dyed the snow crimson beneath his feet.
The poorer class shifting with Johnny-cake and pumpkin, while, with the better off, the airy phantoms of custard and curls, which flit through their brains, are called into tangible existence. The air is impregnated with allspice and nutmeg apple "sarce" and cranberry "persarves" become visible, while sal-a-ratus and molasses are evidently in the ascendant.
"He looks upon it as being an exceedingly little thing only equal to the cranberry laws of Indiana as something having no moral question in it as something on a par with the question of whether a man shall pasture his land with cattle, or plant it with tobacco so little and so small a thing, that he concludes, if I could desire that anything should be done to bring about the ultimate extinction of that little thing, I must be in favor of bringing about an amalgamation of all the other little things in the Union.
Nature abhors a copy, it would seem, almost as badly as she abhors a vacuum. Perhaps, if the truth were known, a copy is a vacuum. I walked down the bay shore of Cape Cod one summer morning, and at a certain point climbed the steep cliff to the railway track, meaning to look into a large cranberry meadow where, on previous visits, I had found a few sandpipers and plovers.
The rear car disappeared around the curve by Solomon Higgins' cranberry shanty. Mr. Hamilton sighed heavily. "She's gone, Shadrach," he said. "Mary-'Gusta's gone." Shadrach echoed the sigh. "Yes, she's gone," he agreed. "I feel as if the best part of you and me had gone along with her. Well, t'other parts have got to go back to the store and wait on customers, I presume likely.
The stem is hard and tough as horn, and is much made use of, when split into narrow planks, for the construction of walls and flooring of houses. The fruit is about the size of a cranberry, and of a dark brown colour.
