Book excerpt: Excerpt from Idyls and Sketches Here and there, a belated plumelet of golden rod bends in the breeze, while purple asters sprinkle the low undergrowth with soft color. In the thickets flaunt the rich crimson leaves of the sumach with its wine-red drupes, the latter a com fort to the eye, though to the palate not an un mixed pleasure. The birds just on the eve of taking wing, now betray their presence by a swift darting in and out among the branches, and a few twittering notes sung, perhaps, just to keep their voices in tune. Again, something that sounds ominously like a family jar comes from yonder clump of trees. Indeed there is much commotion in birddom just now, as if for the annual exodus the family ward robe and paraphernalia were being made ready for transference to Southland. Let us take a look at the neighboring ravine arrayed in all its autumn finery. Its bosky coverts in mid-summer seem wrapped in sylvan mystery. Not so long ago you could not screw your courage to the sticking place, in order to penetrate its tangled paths and shadowy recesses. But to-day there is a perceptible thinning of the red and gold tapestry, and you easily pluck out the heart of its mystery, which was, after all, an open secret. Here is a fallen tree-trunk, moss-grown and lichen-crusted. The woodbine's leaflets, like so many tongues of flame, flutter along its gray length, giving it a beauty it could not boast even when it lifted its green top to the skies. Here, too, hanging in cylindrical racemes, grows the fruit which bears the prosaic name, pokeberry. The truant lad, fleeing from irksome school tasks.
