SOMETHING TO BE REMEMBERED.
q So full Of life and soul our Joys have been,
We've almost scattered life to all things round,'
Mn. EDITOR On last Monday by the
waters of the Soonkatonchie, there we
sat down, yea and ibid not weep laughed,
for we thought of pleasure. Without
any equivocation l don't suppose there
has ever been more delightful day pass
ed since the morning stars sang to-
gether," when earth put on all her glory,
and invited man to participate in all her
pleasures. Wit, beauty, grace, elegance.
all were there, and besides these there
was much swine ham and eggs. 1t
seemed to me like dream, for soon af-
ter got there felt like " stranger in
a strange land" quite dimunative in so
large crowd, and didn't know any one.
SO / took myself very quietly off, and
waited long and patiently. Soon my
heart began to beat with gladness, for
Il looked up the road and saw the dust
rising" l knew somebody was coming
with whom was acquainted. Sure
enough they came-many of 'em. Ea-
ger to display my gallantry, | hurried
through the crowd to party of young
ladies, who were already engaged in a
lively conversation. Though they were
standing in the sun, it was very agreea-
Bile sunshine. felt like / was in some
Eden land, with the flowers of Paradise
exhaling their sweetness all round me-.
1t was too much pleasure to drink in the
nectared words as they fell like dewdrops
from the lips of those gliding by u.s.
Among those passing, saw several l
would like to blot out the remainder of
my days with. Who does not admire
Miss G. p, and the fall of her fairy foot,
as she moves with unaffected grace and
beauty. Truly did friend of mine say,
"She seeks hearts not Warrington con-
sent. Like sudden death that snatches
unprepared. Like fire from heaven scarce
seen so soon as felt" Next come Miss
S. G., whom we would all love. Each
one whispers as she passes, "you are too
pure for this sinful world Every move
ment is dignity, and'every smile is a cup
full of joy. When | am with her l feel
like zone who would change the worship
of all climates, and make a new religion
where'er she comes, unite the differing
faiths of all the world to idolize her face"
There was another, Miss r. NJ, who
apart from her companions, is like lone
star, bathed in the blue of heaven, and
sheds an ocean Of light on all around
Some one says she is from the far and ro-
mantle west; for her form Is fresher than
the morning rose, when the dew vets its
leaves unstained and pure, as is the lily
or the mountain snow There is still an
other, Miss f. L., who is like a joyous
dewdrop just fallen from midnight sky.
1t did not require words, vain, senseless
words, to understand her, for,
:" Her heart was on her lips, and her soul within
her eyes,
Soft as her cline and sunny as her Skies
If l knew every one that was there /
could write volume. But suffice it to
say, / never before saw so much beauty
congregated together. l would say to
all those who like to associate with intel
ligent, large hearted folks, and to those
who want any grinding done, to go to
/" Gladney's Mills"
