BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS

Beyond the mountains-ah beyond
How fair in fancy CLEANS
The valley with its spreading fields
The CLINT of winding streams
Beyond the purple mountains hight
Stray all our happy dreams.
We sit beneath the moaning pine
By waves that pass our door
We say, this scene fair, and yet
We sigh for something more;
And long to pass with eager feet
The far. of mountains Ger.
At eve the night bird fsintiy sings
In murnurs sweet and low;
Th e new moons slender crescent gives
The sky tender glow.
How fair the stars, how warm the vino,
How soft the rivers now!
But there, where longing fancy flies,
And wsywsrd hearts still turn,
A deeper musi: charms the soul,
The red stars brighter burn
And laughing streams go leaping down
From nooks o'erhung with fern:
When heavy clouds above usroll,
Blue skies are over there;
When storm-winds Fl ct around our caves,
There zephy RS whisper fair,
Beyond the mountsins-ah beyond
Love fills the sunny air.

lie. Hetalked around among some OF the
young business men, and found that the idea
met with general approval. He then, began
to arrange his plans for putting his idea into
execution, when he was checked by q little
oCcurrapce 10 which u brief allusion waS
made In the lErELII1ENCER at the time.
Three youths, the Sous OF prominent citizens,
were arrested one afternoon for bathing in
the river within the limits Of the city In the
afternoon. They wore u sort Of an
lmproyised bathing suit, but 10 spite Of this
they were each tiued 81 and costs In police
courts the next day. From the remarks
made by Judge LETTERS at the hearing II might
be Inferred that had their ba hing costume
been less scant he would have discharged
them but II is u TACT that bathing with a
complet. suit Of ordinary clothing comes
within the inhibition OF the city ordinance
against otIenses, the clause OF which In refer.
ence TO tue subject reads as follows:
Section "a. Il shall be unlawful for any
psrson to battle In the Ohio river or III
Wheeling creek, within the boundaries OF THU
city, from sunrise till one hour after sunset
A subsequent section assesses against any
person offending against the section quoted
line OF not less than 81 nor more than $40, OF
imprisonment at labor in default Of payment
OF such fine aud the costs OF prosecution.
This ordinance clearly prohibits bathing In
the city limits even In bathing suits. Wby
such aisw should ever have been passed can
not easily be imagined, as bathing in q nude
condition or 80 nearly q nude condition as &c
be offensive To deceney was what was aimed
at. There 10 a decided feeling in favor OF al

Il cannot be construed 10 apply to bathingin

where the water Is not too deep and the bot

Pc. sons desiring 10 battle with Frequency
would no doubt prefer TO have bathing suit
OF their own, but many would find suits that
