The Village

        After ing, in the forenoon, I

        usually bats coves

        for a stint, and was of labor from my person, or

        village to ly going on

        refress le of leaves and the peeping of

        frogs.    As I o see the birds and squirrels, so

        I o see tead of the wind

        among ts rattle.    In one dire from my

        s in the

        grove of elms and buttonher horizon was a village of

        busy men, as curious to me as if they had been prairie-dogs, each

        sitting at ts burroo a neighbors

        to gossip.    I    tly to observe ts.    the

        village appeared to me a great neo

        support it, as o Redding & panys on State Street, they

        kept nuts and raisins, or salt and meal and roceries.    Some

        appetite for ty, t is, the

        forever in

        public avenues    stirring, a simmer and whisper

        tesian winds, or as if in

        only produg numbness and insensibility to pain -- ot

        en be painful to bear --    affeg the

        sciousness.    I he

        sunning their

        eyes glang along t, from time to time,

        uous expression, or else leaning against a barn h

        digested or cracked up before it is emptied into finer and more

        delicate    tals of the

        village -office, and the

        bank; and, as a necessary part of t a bell, a

        big gun, and a fire-e ve places; and the houses

        o make t of mankind, in lanes and

        fronting one anot every traveller o run the

        gau, and every man,    a lick at him.

        Of course, tationed o the line,

        straggling inants in tskirts, whe line

        began to occur, and traveller could get over urn aside

        into co ground or window

        or tailor.    Besides, till more terrible standing

        invitation to call at every one of these houses, and pany

        expected about times.    For t part I escaped wonderfully

        from t once boldly and

        deliberation to to the

        gau, or by keeping my ts on hings, like Orpheus,

        o his lyre, drowned

        t out of danger."    Sometimes I

        bolted suddenly, and nobody could tell my

        stand muc gracefulness, and ed at a gap in a

        fence.    I omed to make an irruption into some houses,

        ained, and after learning the kernels and

        very last sieveful of news -- w s of

        escaped to the woods again.

        myself into t, especially if it empestuous,

        bag of rye or Indian meal upon my shoulder, for my snug harbor in

        ying up t lain sailing.    I had

        many a genial t by t;as I sailed."    I was never

        cast aressed in any ered some

        severe storms.    It is darker in ts,
