Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pioneers, or the Sources of the Susquehanna, Vol. 2 of 2: A Descriptive Tale Several weeks were consumed in this cheerless' manner, during which the inhabitants of the coun try gradually changed their pursuits from the so cial and bustling movements of the time of snow, to the laborious and domestic engagements of the coming season. The village was no longer thronged with vigitei*s; the trade, that had enlivened the shops for several months, begun to disappear; the highways lost their shining coats of beaten snow in impassable sloughs, and were deserted by the gay and noisy travellers who, in sleighs, had, do ring the winter, glided along their windings; and, in short, every thing seemed indicative ofa mighty change, not only in the earth itself, but in those, also, who derived their sources of comfort and happiness from her bosom.
