must say few words in praise of
the taste and thought of the people.
Several new houses have been
erected, two new churches grace
the hillside, and the grounds
around many of the pref
ty cottages and residences
have been beautifully arranged.
In looking around, we find they
need a better road, larger and
medern hotels, and reconstructed
baths. More hotels would bring
more company through competi-
ton, and more company would
bring still more company, for
pleasure seekers go where they
find the most company, Of course,
these things will come as the place
and its pleasures grow in impor-
lance, as they surely will.

So do Soul. wounds leava their Me-matk.
Which no healing e'er will blot.
Repentance can't-good deeds Will nersr-
Wipe the entry from the page:
But when these are, too, recorded,
They in part the pain assuaga.
Like = vessel smiling homeward,
Taking freight At every port,
Always loa&ling,-none dtschargfng,--
Goods Of every uAMo and sort:
So the Soul ia moving homaward,
Ever taking on it's freight
Loading deep with thoughts and acHous,-
Never missing, nor too late.
And when once That freight Is taken,
Slowed beneath the Souls hAtchway,
Neither God nor 3l4u may raise liz
Take it from thy hold away.
Give heed. then. and watch thy freight-llsts;
Scan tho bi1a-of-lading DER:
Thou mays sometimes Scape burden
Which might Eiye thee trials sote-
II that Sou1-freight be Of Good deeds,
Lightly skins our bark along:
But II Eyil-Oh! how heavy!
And the way seems d1tar and long.
