EDITOR CHRONICLE Might has
drawn her sable curtain and pinned
1t with star, and while sitting by
my window in my cozy little room,
have concluded to amuse myself
few moments by writing to your
highly appreciated columns. But
the first thought is, what must /
write about. Ii try to describe the
beauties of the ethereal sky, with
its beautiful rainbows spanning T.
watery east, Overarching the noun
tains laps and painting on each
storm-cloud its delicate tints, or
with her glowing sunsets and even
ing breezes laden with full fragrance,
that has bestowed 50 much beauty
upon nature around US, when culti-
waited with care and taste, ingeni-
ously blending as to give everything
chance, which vies with Eden
itself. If L write of the winding
stream gliding rapidly over snow
white pebbles on whose golden
sands grow tall trees which will
soon throw their dark shadows over
its clear waters and flowers of g0r-
geous hue adorn the verdant banks
between which it flows, while sit
and listen to the soft murmur of its
tiny waves as it ripples over its
gravelly bed. If 1 write of one
whose beauty is the cynosure of all
eyes-''the observed of all observ-
ers" wherefore she goes an admiring
throng gathers around, upon whom
the silver tone of her voice sounds
to the ear like the sweet breathings
of the @Olian harp, some fair hand
will hurl the arrow of ridicule at
me, and if i'm return, / dart one in
fiicting wound more severe than
the one 1 received, they sit on the
stool of repentance before me and
claim that shame. regret and peni-
tence should forever be depicted on
my brow, how cruel to think that
one with such "perfect faith" in
their town loneliness" being sent
down from the Celestial Courts"
to show others their faults, could for
one moment wear upon her brow
the meaning of those three little
nouns, such absurdity is beyond
reconciliation.
l could give you the little items
that the three little stars write
about to the Elkton Register, such
as some old woman peeled potato
and planted the peeling, etc., an
other line she lost her nubia trying
to keep the wild fowls of the air and
creeping things away from her hen
and chickens, or what the School
Chaps says the "marm" has been
advised to administer Rough on
Children (not Rats and that he or
she has dived SO deep into meta
physics as to forget who discovered
America-but to proceed with items
of more value. I'd write of the ri
valship existing between an old
man and young one. Madame |
RumOr states that the old man is to |
be winner, and / guess she's rightly |
informed, for I'm told that the old |
"jail" will soon undergo a thorough |
and will soon be don
ned with paper of the latest artistic
style, the furniture is to be of the
latest American make, while the |
floors are to have the finest of i'm
ported Brussels carpets. I've al
ready heard the low signs of the
'.jailor," wondering what he will
do, but as consolation to him, he
should remember the proverbial
saying, "I'd rather be an old ones
than a young ones slave"
l would say when the beauty will
put in her appearance at Forest
Bend but am afraid some one might
think she stepping between "them
and best FRIEND" thereby mourning
sorrow and displeasure. AS the
Doctor has arrived with his fresh
news of smallpox, to induce US to
be vaccinated, 1 guess I'd better
close and listen to him awhile
