50 WESTON MILL. 



those cares which furrow deep his careful brow ; — 

 youth may frolic in the dawn of thoughtfulness, and 

 old age find in the spirit-stirring breeze, the true, the 

 only genuine Hygeia. But for him in whose bosom 

 the tender passion has taken its seat — the pen 

 must falter — words must be dumb — and thoughts 

 alone remain in action to enumerate the countless

 fathers, of the benefits derived from the use of a 

 spring of water at its foot, and which, as nurses say, 

 was retailed of old, or not, the writer will not presume 

 to say : fact or not — the road must be followed until 

 it is intersected by the Devonport and Tavistock 

 turnpike-road, at Mile House, which is well known 

 as a house of resort for holiday folks. Descending
