Excerpt from The Morning Ramble: Or, the Mountain Top Rouse up, John! Rouse up! These were the gruff sounds that disturbed the peaceful slumbers of John Williams, on a bright sunny morning of summer, as he lay pleasantly dreaming on his own little bed. John had retired to rest as soon as he had done tea on the evening before. He was to rise early in the morning and go with his father to walk in the country. He told his father that he would get up before sun-rise, and then come and wake him up. But after John had fallen asleep he forgot all about his promise, nor thought more about waking up his father, until the hoarse voice of Jemmy, the servant, broke upon his ears. And as he called, he gave John a hearty shake, further exclaiming- Your father is waiting for you- up, now, and dress yourself! What John had been dreaming about we do not know. But very likely it was about going on a fishing party with some other boys, or perhaps it was about standing at the head of his class in school.
