Excerpt from Bellevue Sketches and Others The windows of the long drawing-room at Bellevue look westward upon the charming old garden that stretches a tangled exuberance of bloom in bright undulations to lose all semblance of cultivation in a wild growth of sedge and cress, under which glimmers the silver thread of a tiny stream. It is a question whether the garden long since deserted the regular paths of its youth to riot downhill or whether, being lowly born, it did not begin at the brookside and mean der uphill in a pleasant, untaught way until checked by the mansion whose conventionalism would seem to frown upon any disposition toward bad form on the part of the ambitious garden. And it is highly probable that the decorous lilacs and snowballs, with all the numerous progeny of the lily and the rose families which grow in more orderly profusion near the house, do not know the humble little brook that never hears the sound of its own voice nor imagines the joy of liberty; but, choked in utterance and impeded in its course, mutely struggles along under its mantle of green for a few hundred rods to sink exhausted into one of those mysterious underground reservoirs whither all good waters must eventually żow. And as if to compensate its lover, the sun, for its summary disappearance, the spot where the brook passes from view is always the loveliest, tenderest green - a kind of fairy-forest with feathery ferns for trees that ever nod and wave a welcome, or tremble a farewell.
