therefore, that good digestion and perfect

Augusta COUNTY, May 18th, 1872.
We reached this attractive valley few
weeks ago, but after passing several mlit'
spring days in our beautiful Richmond.
where Nature in it's earlier aspect was being
clothed in cheering green, and being greeted
here by Il little snow-Storm and howllng
March wind. We felt disappointment i'll our
hopes of II lovclicr home. However, since
hcarin" this WAS not peculiarly mountain
SPELL and that the change was in eastern
Virginia, we have been more reconcilcd and
impressible to the many and beautiful sur
roundings. Truly, TO Il lowlandcr, and 10
those who have spen! seven years on battle
grounds. there is ii striking contract from
our stricken lands to the advanced state of
agricultural prosperity to which this sec
ton has attained, and ii is refreshing to
be once more among people VII"
nlorcd Us they did before the war, bccaus"
it is the promise and destiny of man to
learn bis bread by the sweat Of his brow"
