A dew sparklin' on the grass under the maples, and the sunshine a-fleckin' the ground between 'em, and the robins a-singin' and the hummin' birds a-hoverin' round the honeysuckles at the door.

'Well, I said, 'minister, says I, 'I never see you a-swiggin' it out of that 'ere horn mug, that I don't think of one of your texts. 'What's that, Sam? says he, 'for you always had a'most a special memory when you was a boy. 'Why, says I, that "the horn of the righteous man shall be exalted;" I guess that's what they mean by "exaltin' the horn," ain't it?
Never agin never agin will such a seen glow and grow before mine eyes, till the streets of the New Jerusalem open before my vision.
