The drives about Frankfort are very
beautiful We have, one time or another
taken them all in. Benson's Creek, puts
in on the left side OF the Kentucky, just
below town. Up the bed Of this, the Lou
isville Railway runs, and the view up the
Benson Valley mile from its mouth is
enchanting. We saw il only this morning,
riding out in Gov. Blackburn's stately car
rage behind his beautiful geldings "Te-
cumseh" and T.ogan," black az jet, white
hind feet, stylish steppers, harness silver
mounted. How is that for an humble

comes frequently to the services, as do
most OF the great ones" living in Frank
| fort. Another magnificent landscape Is on
the "fair grounds turnpike, about miles
| from town, from the side OF the cliff that at
one time perhaps formed part Of the right
bank Of the Kentucky River. There is
every reason for believing that North
Frankfort in part lies in the old channel OF
the river, which formed a great elbow
where il now runs in a straight line. The
old channel is now one Of the loveliest
valleys imaginable. Another glorious view
is from the Cemetery hill. This gives a
grand stretch Of the river winding up be-
tween picturesque banks for miles. And
yet another is from the cliff overhanging
South Frankfort, rivals almost any Of the
others in tender peaceful beauty. Come
to Frankfort il you want to see beauty in
profusion.
The interest in the meeting still contin-
ues undated. The total to Tuesday night
which is the last report | can make to
catch Fridays paper, is 4Sl for soul and
"a for body. There has not been service
without confessions since the evening Of
the 9TH. PRAISE THE LORD. Yester-
day evening there was violent thunder
and rain storm, which broke upon Va about
Z. But the early corners had already half
filled the Hall, and in 10 minutes lull,
Just at the time OF service, the rest came
scudding in, umbrellas in hand and filled
the house as usual. Then the storm went
on, stopping long enough to let the folks
get home, about the time the meeting
broke.
Frankfort gets its drinking water from
a great spring 2 miles out Of town. The
valley below it is damned to form a reser-
voir OF several acres and unknown depth.
We visited it yesterday. The weather is
80 hot that any thing but carriage exercise
is irksome, and so the LORD furnishes
carriages in profusion. Kind friends offer
them and come in them for us on every
hand-not to mention a standing invita-
tion of one kind friend Rob't f Church
Esq, of "livery rig" from his elegant
stable whenever we want il So the dear
LORD provides-"l00 fold in this life
according to promise. Think how liter
ally this has been fulfilled to us gospel
tramps" for Jesus sake. Is there a man in
Kentucky who sees more of his family than
| do? Who has less care about what he
shall eat, drink or wear than /? Who en-
joys the innocent good things of the world
more than /? Who is less spoiled by
them than |? Thus the LORD makes
every way "way Of pleasantness and every
path" a path Of peace. And this 100
fold" one gets in this life for faithful ser
vice. "In that which has to come ??P'
