RAFTING DER THE RAIL. -"All
aboard p ''Safe Journey p Good bye -
foot toot J" And away we logged to-
ward the Point. Slowly and gradually
we were borne away from dear old Som
eiset and all that clusters in and around it.
A vivid realization OF this TACT took pos
session OF our spirits, and WI settled down
in q mist of gloon and sadness, while the
doleful whistle Of The engine shrieked out
as if il were a relief to us, q mournfzl
and probably a last farewell TO the pleas
ant home Of our childhood" At the
Point we were detained an hour by an
accident on the main road, and conse-
quently from there to Cumberland We
went q flying instead Of a jogging, occa-
sionslly casting glances at the rapidly dis
appearing hills and rocks, reminding one
of grim old spscters which bid fair 10
haunt us long in after years.
From Cumberland We tore through that
wilderness of VICE, West Virginia. Rock
covered mountains, from away up in the
milky way, glanced down upon us as We
Numbered along through deep cuts and
dismal tunnels. Around miserable mud
calked novels myriads of many-ribbed
cIttD, uOEs duu DdiC-ioObCn tOW-
sported and wallowed together. At night
we arrived at Grafton. where the merriest
half of our party left us on their way TO
Illinois; after which we settled down to be
ratified and rocked through a long. sleep
less night, landing us in smoky Cincinnati
at : A. NJ. An hour tor ''bot coffee, and
We were rolling along on the bank OF the
glittering Ohio.
On we flew through hilly Ohio and In
diana, where woods, hills and rocks ap-
peared as natural as in old Pennsylvania,
and where croaking frogs and shaking
ague breed in sloughs most vile. Thus
far we were disappointed in the appear
ance of the West. Grain not so good as
in Somerset. But after crossing the Wa
bash into Illinois the scene changed from
hills and woods to an endless plain, the
greater part of which was covered with
the richest grain, upon which herds OF
cattle were groaningly grazing. Alas an.
finals, like men. have not equal rights.
The sun sank in the prairie land beyond,
and il was the evening of the second day
and Q p. NJ, when we crossed the historic
Mississippi into busy st. Louis. Hot cot
fee. and away we whizzed through slug
gish Missouri. A party of ladies struck
up, Were going home" and q dozen
boys instantly struck alter, and We snooze1
the while in the arms of Morpheus. We
awoke in a country redolent with peach
bloom. But like my trip, | am getting
long and tedious. Arrived at Atchison al
night, where | had the pleasure of hear
ing a grand lecture on The Wastes and
Burdens of Society," by Henry Ward
Beecher, and also had the astronomical
qualification of eating new onions. radish,
es and rhubarb. which reminded me OF
being in Somerset in May. And ii was
the evening of the third, day when We ar
rived at Falls City, tired dirty and sleepy.
Yours truly.

AN ASTONISHING FAcT.-A large pro-
portion of the American people are to-day
diving from the effects of Dyspepsia or dis
ordered LIVER. The result OF these dis
eases upon the masses of intelligent and
valuable people is most alarming, making
life actually a burden instead Of a pleasant
existence of enjoyment and usefulness as
it ought to be. There is no good reason
for this, If you win only throw aside pre-
judice and skepticisn,. take the advice OF
Druggists and your friends. and try one
bottle OF Green's August Flower. Your
speedy relief is certain. Millions Of bot
ties OF this medicine have been given
away TO try It's virtues. With satisfactory
results in every case. You can buy q
samp c bottle tor 10 cents tn try. Three
doses will relieve the worst case. Posi-
lively sold by all Druggists or the West.
