Description:Excerpt from Papers of the Manchester Literary Club, Vol. 43 Their sweet fruit itself is almost ruby red, when the sun shines brightly upon its clusters. The first dell of the series rises steeply towards a craggy wall, over which the stream drops in a little cascade sparkling like snow in the noontide radiance of a glowing day in June. Tall trees hang over its prattling waters: beeches, oaks, willows, alders and birches bend their branches to listen to its murmurous song. Here stands a knot of hazels fragrant with memories of the Cinderella stories. It was a hazel-twig, which struck the merchant's hat, which he brought home for his youngest daughter, which grew into a tree and fulfilled all her wishes. There pink-blossomed briar-rose trees haunt the foot of the hard crag, recalling the pretty tale of the "Sleeping Beauty." Now and then upon the very face of the rock the pale green leaf-rosettes of the butterwort shew themselves, each trimmed with its slender stem and violet-like blossom. The naturalist will not fail to notice the upcurl of the edges of the leaves, and he will find beneath the fold many tiny vagrant flies, which have alighted upon them to their sad undoing. The little plant has peculiar cells, which are capable of sucking out the life of its victims and thus finding its needful food. Just below trembles a large patch of herb-Robert, ruby-stemmed, feathery-leafed, decked with lovely pink flowers, and here and there bearing its long thin seed-vessel, which has fitly given the name of crane's-bill to the members of the family. The broken crags and loose stones near the stream are covered by the lady fern, consecrated to the Virgin, and still used to adorn her shrines on the first of May. Near to it is the sturdier male fern, mingling here and there with the rarer shield fern, while the hard fern peeps forth from the crevices between the broad layers of rock.
