An illustration from The brownies through the Union, 1895, leaf 139
11 No place important for its size Or industry escaped their eyes. They ran through streets twixt dusk and day, Wliile all the towns in silence lay, And people di-eamed not that the hand Of Brownies was so near at hand. And even morning told no tale, And gave no hint of Bro^vnie trail. Except,… … And open field, or orchard fair.That they perfonn with greatest care.Not with a one-side view content,Through Michigan the Brownies went,To see how well it lies at easeBetween the wondrous inland seasThat, stretching round from bay to strait,Grive ample outlet to the State.
