words "to Ellen" go out with your soul
10 dreamy exhilation:
"a thousand
Roses that grew iii an enchanted garden,
Where no wind dared to stir except on tiptoe"
William Morris "Earthly Paradise"
is actualized. "Let us build three taber-
nacles here!' Why seek longer for any
golden Ell Dorado2 But whee-e-e.!!
Dreams and roses and paradise come to
grief under that keen, cold, cutting pen
etrating, ercing,transfxing wind, armed
with lancets Of ice, as 1t charges from
the lake. Mufflers, overcoats, sealskins
--all surrender like Jtimsy towards, and
The very marrow of your inmost bones
'd6ems captured and congesled; ~ shat
Arctic intruder. This is the only uncon-
querable enemy of our "Lotos-eaters"
here. Every other resident, and that is
70 low estimate, bears the unmistakable
signs of catarrhal affection or rheumatic
.torture, or worse still, OF diseased aud
failing lungs. Let US postpone until
July contracting for our tsoernacles.
Gould these north winds be robbed Of
their icy venon--but why 60 into the
conjunctiue moodf 1t is human expert
ence everywhere-rarest flowers fringing
most dangerous chasms, hurting salves,
retarding-helps, "Bitter.Sweess."
E There in the center OF the square is
one Of the most beauteous gems of this
|ornamented village. 1t is park filed
siih luxurious growths of naples, elms,
and balsams. Where, as Judge Tourgee
nays, describing it in his famed book,
sFiggs and Thistles," the romping boy
or dreaming lover, wanders unhindered
nnder the clustering branches of this
mimic forest-an emerald set in the
white heart Of Rexville"
BY the way. this is the early home of
that wide.read author, Judge A. W.
Tourgee Here live his relatives. Here
he received his academic education. And
here. it is said, in the shadows of that
park he met her who was the echo of his
heart, the voice OF his soul, sharing ever
after equally his sufferings,and his justly
earned fame both as jurist and an au-
thor.
As most villages, Kingsville is itself
the best exponent Of its people-unsen-
sational. plain, cultured, matter-of-fact
To the Puritanic stock from which they
sprang, has been impaired the vivacious
spirit Of the great West, widening and
deepening their ancestral nature. With
Inherited habits of religious thought,
theix churches are filed by dsvout wer-
shippers. Retaining the primitive Con-
necticut zeal for education, they boast of
having sent from the halls OF their acad-
envy, incumbents to almost all the hon
orable offices OF almost all the States.
Nor is the volume of this history
sealed without the clouds, and wheels,
and beasts of prophetic Vision. Having
water facilities that have never been fully
utilized, to-day there is projected the
establishment of Kingsville Iron Man
ufactory; while at the very threshold of
the village, have already been driven the
stakes OF the "Shenango Valley and
Lake Erie Railroad" Capitalists,t touch
ed by this spirit OF new inspiration, see
over the future sky of Kingsville, the no
longer prophetic, but actual "clouds' of
manufacturing industry, and hear the
"vheels" of that monstrous
"beast" Of commerce.
