the summer season of the Sunny South.
There is something, amid all the frivol-
ity, very charming about the White Sui
phur-and prominently its cosmopoli-
tan character, and it affords wide field
for the study of human nature. People
meet here from all quarters of the Union,
and vie with each other in their preten-
sions to Importance. The most conspic-
uous thing about the White Sulphur is
HUMAN PRIDE-old dowagers with gray
braids, tanning themselves, and looking
as if each had had hfe-history marked
by associations and incidents which would
interest us if we only knew them fancy
young men of about thirty with side whis-
kers, and black broad-cloth pants and
coat and faultless linen, who seem to feel
almost encountered with a sense Of blue
blood and aristocratic superiority;-young
ladies in gorgeous tints, who conceive of
life as made up of the German and paper
back novels and who look down on every
body as poor indeed who has not money.
We could not help rejecting how diff
ferent things really are in this world from
the way they are viewed by these fash
ionable people; how ignorant they are,
in the first place, of the world of nature
around them-of the trees, of the flowers,
of the mineral wonders, Of the limpid
mountain springs and brooks, of the star
bespangled vault above them; how igno-
rant they are, in the second place, of the
spiritual realities amid which they move
almost as unconscious as the painted moths
that circle amid the lights that illuminate
this bright and dazzling scene How sad
and how beautiful, we thought, is human
life how tragic is the contrast between
all this loneliness of line and color, and
musics voluptuous strain, and the inevi-
table doom of all mere earthly splendor,
unaccompanied by the charm Of those in
ward moral traits which need to adorn
the soul if it must realize an existence of
inefaceable beauty and indestructible
jOyl
The philosopher will find abundant
food for study at the White Sui hur; the
painter will find unceasing variety of
material for the exercise of his pencil;
the invalid will not be disappointed in
the health-giving waters and the pure,
delicious atmosphere; the votary of pleas
ure will meet accomplished men and wo-
men nom the South and the North the
student of natu! e will find himself within
reach of the Silurian, D,vonian, and Sub
carboniferous geological form ations; the
Christian will find perpetual occasion to
wonder at the weakness and levity of the
human heart, and at the faulty witt
which even those advanced in life cline
to the unsatisfying feeting pleasures Of
the passing hour, even after the game has
been pushed beneath the very shadows
of the granite portals of the abodes of the
dead.
