"A young gentleman Of this place receiv-
ed the following letter from lady in AT
lanta 1t is too good to be lost:
ATLANTA Ga. Jan. 25th, 1873
Dear Mr.. B:--Every time | think of you
my heart flops up and down like a churn
handle. Sensations of unuttcrable joy Ca
per over it like young goats on a Scotch hill
As goslng swmmeth with delight in Il
mud puddle, so | swim in sea of glory
When first | beheld your projections, | was
bcwildered, and my brain whirled around
like humble bee in Il glass tumbler My
tongue refused to wag, and in silent adora
ton drank in the sweet infection of love
as a thirsty man swalloweth beer. Dayand
night you are in my thoughts. When Au-
rora, blushng like bride, rises fiom her
saffron couch when the chandeliers shrill
clarion heralds the coming morn; when the
awakened pig ariseth from his bed and
grunteth and when the lowing COWS come
home at milking time, | think of thee -
and like piece Of gum elastic my heart
seems to stretch clear across my BOSOM
Your hair is like that on ii backing brush;
your forehead smoother than the elbow of
an old coat. Your eyes are glorious to be
hold. When their fire hit upon my breast,
it penetrated my whole anatomy, as a load
of buck shot would go through rotten
apple.
/ am dying for the approach of another
leap-year, so that | may pour out the burn
ing eloquence of my love as a thrifty house
wife pOurs out hot coffee. Away from you
am as melancholy as a sick rat. Some
times can hear the Junebugs Of despond
ency buZZing round my ears. and feel the
cold lizard Of despair crawling down my
back My love for you is stronger than the
kick of a young cow.
If these few remarks will enable you t.
see the inside of my soul, and me to wiz
your affections, | shall be as happy as
sparrow in a cherry tree. If you canno
reciprocate my thrilling passion | shall pint
away like poisoned bed-bugs, and fall away
from the flourishing vine of life; and il
coming years, when the shadows grow from
the hills, and the philosophic frog sings hi
cheerful evening hymn, you, happy in an
others love- can come and drop tear ant
catch cold upon the last resting place Of,
"YOU KNOW WHO"
Isn't that a model love letter?
