WORTHY EDITOR, DEAR SIR:
We paid visit, q short
time since to your lovely Boro., and were so much
degted with the beauty of the scenery In its June
freshness, that We cannot refrain from expressing
our sentiments and heartfelt emotions awakened by
recollecOns of the past blended with the realities
of the present. Indeed, what gives to Tunkhan-
mock its refreshing appearance is the beauty of its
trees and shrubbery, planted with unspairng hands
throughout the entire place. To us there has al
ways been something in the contemplation of beau
tful scenery, in the varied hues Of vegetation
exh:larating that often fId il difficult to repress
the joy that comes unbidden at sight of the vivid
ness of nature. 1t is truly wonderful that people
in general pay little heed to the cultivation Of
trees and flowers. The young child is natures ad-
mirer by instinct and POSSESSES mate love of the
beautiful; and yet the mature man often deems it
waste of time to cultivate plants Such we think
are in the dross of the world has cbscurred
the finer feeliD g. and made them ''of the earth
earthly" IL is not expected that every body will
become artistic and yet it is we'll known that chill
dren seek to copy nature, taste that should be en-.
couraged as it cultivates habits of study aud mi
mute observation. Speaking of artists reminds us
Of some rare paintings saw iD the studio Of
friend Ruger whose rising genius We have critical
ly observed for some years, and find it Of the
progressive ORDER We also saw some pretty pic
lures the work OF one of his lady pupils, Noble
work thought, to labor for imrno r,aIity. Music
seems to be cultivated here. We ware happy to
meet friend Miss Pike engaged in the delightful
occupation of cultvating the musical genius of the
place. Even the little boys have caught the jubi-
liant spirit, and are out Oh dress parade every day
TulkhannO3k will soon be on the line of the rail
road. and then adieu to the clattering old stage
along the Susquehanna Business seems Hourishing,
here, and the prOprietors Of the stores millner
shops, DC, seem well adapcd to their business
all, is the road to prosperity To travellers
we would say, if you would be pleasantly situated,
and politely treated:
When here you call, and all. great and small,
stop at the house of Mr. Wall.
The Press we observe, has changed its uame from
the "NOrth Branch" to the ''Wyoming Democrat; ::
truly more appropriate as the name of Wyoming is
always musical Speaking of the Press reminds US
Of the time, when in or old school days, We used
TO scribbe for the boys who worked the press and
the thOa gh: came up where those boys As DR..
Ilolms says,
Has there any old fellow got mixed with the boys
II there has take him iihout making a noise"
Two Of those boys now uphold The press la prairie
Iauu, while the GIue-eysi boy we loved, now wields
pen in the Nations Capital aud one, also, seeps
the sleep that 'knOws no waking One enterprisiug
boy, alone, the editorial banner, and
God grant that ii be with view to elevate the
masses, should be the aim of every conscientious
Editor. we were we'll pleased to observe that the
place seemed to have the bearing of temperance,
although the license lalr has been restored It is
not our forte to crtcise the decisions of urise ap
girers; in our opinion truly sensible man i'll
never become in;emperate-and again,
Let the law be as it will,
The drunkard will drink whisky still.
The Good TempIars have a lodge here, bat we
were tot by Madam Rumor that there were really,
but two tecto; alters among the young men 10 this
place. Curiosity led us to enquire who the nder
iUl prodigics we're, but were only told
One has eyes of heavenly blue,
The others are of darker hue.
Ipresnme the old lady did not wish to be person
al f, but VIC think that any having the moral
courage to let whiskey alone, is worthy Of honor.
To be nest on the subject is indeed praise worthy
But adieu Mr. Ed itor, some time you may hear
Of US again. MD
