Side by side We rode together,
On clear October day,
while the mountains, crimson crested,
Kept royal holiday.
DOWN the Switchback from Mount Pitgah
We went speeding Ger the hills
With the golden sunlight flashing
From the ripping mountain rills.
But the flashing and the giintiny
And the blue OF autumn skies,
We're but frosty in their beauty
To the summer OF her eyes.
Side by side we rode together,
And did not dare to wait.
For she was seventeen, and
Was turned OF forty eight.
30 I whispered to her Darling,
Let us travel, side by side.
Down the grade OF Loves long Switchback.
To the shoreless oceans tide"
But she look cd away far over
All the hills that lay between,
To the distant. dim horizon.
And her eyes were too srFrne,
A she said Il like October,
With its splcndors OF decay,
But like the summer better,
Aud tho warm. sweet mir Of May"
Thus we travelled down the Switchback.
Thus trihed with my fatej'

it would stop and sing it; if it want

have a preacher preach it; when
it got hungry, it would stop and

the reach and grasp of the simp-
lest; in heights of sublimity, high
enough for the highest of the hear

Had it not been for fortunate
visit Of DR.. Shafer to his old Pres

from Gainesville to independence,
which, with new shoes and "peel-
ed heels" was not the happiest
prospect to contemplate, But with
the Doctor along and one good
horse between us we made it in
good time, and if we aoere tired, we
had from 7 o'clock til, midnight
on the cars to rest and nurse oul
