"Once upon a time, in the midst of a large thick wood, there lived an old witch by herself. By day she changed herself into a cat or an owl; but in the evening she resumed her right form. She was able also to allure to her the wild animals and birds, whom she killed, cooked, and ate; for whoever ventured within a hundred steps of her castle was obliged to stand still, and could not stir from the spot until she allowed it. But if a pretty maiden came into the circle, the witch changed her into a bird, and then put her into a basket, which she carried into one of the rooms of the castle; and in this room were already many thousand such baskets of rare birds." ------- from Florinda dn Florindel. ---- Autumn.

"Golden-Rods, the same that peered over the stone walls in the last days of August, are still nodding to us in the warm September days, climbing up higher and higher in a thick tangle of greness. For these autumn flowers do not hurry away, as did the delicate Anemones, ---- the wind-flowers, ---- opening to the wind, then floating off upon its breezes. They are all stout herbs, that will not care when the hot days of early September give way to chill and cold, and the warm afternoons suddenly fall into damp evenings." ------- from The Four Seasons, and a Little About Their Flora. September and October. ---- Autumn. (Vol. II, No. X, October, 1866).

"The steamer Augusta Dinsmore came to anchor late in the evening of the 15th of February, 1863, off the entrance to Port Royal. The night was cloudy and dark; the wind northeast. There had been a gently breeze through the day, but when the sun went down the wind came up. Great waves were rolling past us, tumbling headlong upon the sand-bars. Loud the wind and ceaseless the roar of the breakers. Through the night I heard the voices of the sea, ---- solemn and fearful. Yet it was glorious to stand upon the deck, holding on to the ropes, and look out upon the ocean white with foam, ---- the steamer rolling, pitching, and tossing, as if tugging to break the great iron chain which held her. The storm-clouds were flying past, so low down that they almost touched the masts." ------- from Wandering About. Historic Incidents and Sketches Around Port Royal. The Huguenot Fort. ---- Autumn. (Vol. II, No. V, May, 1866).

"There were four great brown eyes peeping at us through the openings of the fence as we went up the avenue. Two of these were lower down by a bar's width than the others, so of course I knew which were Ella's and which Rosa's, because ella had told me that she had a little sister. But only the eyes were the same. Ella was a straight, slender little creature, carrying her head in a queenly way, and looking frankly and earnestly into your eyes with her own. Rosa was just as round as anything could be, and be a little girl. Her face was round, her bright berry eyes were round, her cherry pouting mouth was round, and her little round body would have rolled either way, I believe." ------- from The Little Southerners.
