Excerpt from The Country Year Book: Descriptive of the Seasons; Rural Scenes and Rustic Amusements; Birds, Insects, and Quadrupeds But the ears of corn which trail on the hedges in narrow lanes, the gates that here and there stand open, with children either swinging upon them, or clambering up to reach the strag gling ears, which hang upon the boughs above their heads the rumbling of wheels, the creaking of the wagon, the cracking of the whip, and the shout of the driver, tell us that the corn harvest is already begun, and that the fields which, a few weeks ago, waved with their millions of heads of heavy wheat, and horned barley, are now shorn and piled up in golden sheaves. Here and there we may still see a few sun-burnt reapers at work, their foreheads bound round with various coloured handkerchiefs to keep off the heat, and their white sleeves showing like spots of light in the landscape, while the stooping attitudes of the gleaners, in costumes of all colours, the half-laden wagon in the centre of the field, the bold dark outline of the horses, the shocks of sheaves reared to dry at regular distances, and stretching in rows upon every rounded and stubbly furrow, together with the hill in the background, and the trees which everywhere rise up and break the level lines of the scene, make altogether such a pleasing picture, that for months afterwards it rises up before the imagination, and we think of it with feelings of delight. Nor can we gaze upon such a scene with out thinking of the bountiful provision which the Creator has made for our wants, and feeling thankful that, amid the cold and darkness of the coming winter, we shall still be surrounded by plenty, and that the poor man will soon be enabled to eat his bread untested by the rich.
