Hesden refuses to be my heir, and you refuse to be my devisee; must I give it to the poor?" The summer bloomed and fruited; the autumn glowed and faded; and peace and happiness dwelt at Red Wing.

There is this disadvantage about having a game preserve attached to your garden: it makes life too lively. In these golden latter August days, Nature has come to a serene equilibrium. Having flowered and fruited, she is enjoying herself.

The Corporal further said that our army was proceeding slowly, much time being consumed in laying the axe to the plum, peach, and apple orchards; and that it was a sad sight to see the heavily fruited trees fall over, crushing the ripe fruit into the mud. He thought that the advanced guard of our army might be up by evening to burn Catharines-town, but was not certain.

She began with a vivacious playfulness, poorly assumed, to hide her real feeling. "Now, sobersides, it must end this foolishness of yours " She stopped, waiting for some question of his to help her.

The mango and avocado trees had not come into bearing before I left; but pineapples, figs, grenadillas, bananas, pumpkins, plantains, papaws, and chioties fruited abundantly.
