Mr.. Editor, we met your honored
contemporaries, John Mitchell, Esq,
and Rev. G. II. Payne, of the Rich
mond Planet and w. Va. Enter
PRISE, respectively. The latter gen.
tleman has been called the finest
orator in the State, and one who
hears him preach will see good rea-

Road running past this place, we
noticed several colored employees,
among whom is Mr.. W. A.. Scott, a
mail clerk, who has been on the road
for three years, receiving lucrative
salary. We met with one prodigy
that it would be pity not to men
ton, viz: a lad of fifteen who was
studying stenography, and who, mi
nus the slightest encouragement or
aid, had so far mastered the art as
to be able to transcribe into short

ON TOP THE VINEOLAD ALL f.
GHANIES.
M. Editor:

M. Editor:
It was your correspondents good
fortune to spend several weeks of the
summer at the justly far-famed
White Sulphur Springs, in Green
brier county, Of this State. Taking.
| the G. & O. Road at Staunton, Va,
the traveller is borne over grand
| ly beautiful region of country which
soon becomes gradual ascent, I'M
til finally when the Saratoga Of the
South" is reached, we find ourselves
in the very midst of the Alleghanies,
1000 feet above sea level. The at
mosphere, in the night time
apt to be heavily charged with
fog, is during the day salubrious and
invigorating. A day when the mer
curry rises to ninety, is OF unusual
occurrence, while the falling of it
to fifty-five in the mornings and
evenings, is commonly expected.
The hotel, an immense pearl-colored
structure, which, with its cottages,
accommodates about three thousand
guests, is situated near the north
east entrance to the extensive lawn,
which is dotted with seats, pavillions
and music stands, and whose stretch
is gracefully broken or outlined by
such tall and shady trees as our eyes
never before rested upon. Often
when lulled into dreamy repose by
the whispering of their myriads of
leaves, stirred by the passing breezes,
we have thought that if we could
believe in the transmigration of spir-
its and had the ordering Of the abode
for our own, we would choose one
of these smonarchs of the forest.
We are lured into many charming
pathways, the most frequented of
which is the one to "Lover's Leap"
IF pebble and leaf could talk, they
might reveal many a tale of love
that has been bespoken along this
way. Whatever path you take you
are sure sometime to come upon the
spot which, after all, is the centre
of attracrion,-t his queen among
mineral fountains, the White Sui
phur Spring, pouring out 10000
gallons Of life-giving water per diem.
Here the Great Physician gives med
icine, from his own hand, ''for the
healing of all nations The hotel
gives employment to a large number
during the season, and we are glad
to learn that many young men who
attend our Normal schools and col
leges, replenish here their slender
purses during the months of vaca-
ton. The bath house has been, for
two decades, managed by Mr.. and
Mrs. Burrell with competent assist
ants. Mr.. Burrell is very expe-
rienced bath man, by whom the
douche, Turkish, massage, &C., are
managed as fine art, and his esti-
mable wife is not far behind. This
gentleman, his wife and daughter,
are people of unusual intelligence
and refinement. Mr.. Burrell owns
valuable property on what is known
as "Dry Creek and although his
three score years have been lived,
his attention to business, and his
keen insight as to the same, might
put to shame many younger and
more favored man. The public
school here is taught by Miss Bur-
rell (principal) and Mr.. r. w. Cal
l'laway, (assistant,) both ofwhom are
graduates Of Storer Normal School.
Our people own two churches, each
in fourishing condition, and at

Some years ago two long freight trains
met at n siding on one of the Illinois
prairies. The siding was not long enough
to allow the trains to pass. The assistant
manager of the road happened to be on
one of the trains, and he was at his wits
end to know what to do. There stepped
up n young brakeman who said he could
manage the trains so as to enable them to
pass The engineers laughed at him, but
the manager asked him to explain With
n stick he traced in the ground his plan,
and it was so simple that every one Mt
once comprehended it, In fifteen minutes
the two trains had been moved by, and the
operation is now universally adopted on
sidings that are too short 1t is called
saving. The young fellow, while riding
on the top of his car across the dreary
prairies had studied out and solved this
problem, and when the opportunity came
he was ready for it, He is now the gen
eral manager of the great Northwestern
system. New York Sun.

1t seems to be very wild project, but
the funds have really been subscribed to
build a railroad to HudSons bay, so that
wheat can be carried by vessels, which,
for at least month in the year, may avoid
becoming icebound far north In the Arctic
circle. The fact is, the region northwest
of St. Paul, and traversed by the Mani
toba, Northern Pacific and Canadian
Pacific roads, is destined to be one OF the
great wheat and potato fields OF the
world. With its resources, it could feed
the population of the whole earth. Yet
to look at it on the map, it seems to be
dangerously near the regions of perpetual
ice. Its distance from the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans is so great that waterway
of any kind is very tempting, and hence
capitalists can be found who will build a
road to give this wheat new water out
let to Europe. -Demorest' Monthly.

Happiness as 1t Is In Youth and Maturity.
Isn't it little queer that as we grow from,
youth to manhood the objects change which
bring us pleasurel The amount of happi-
ness realized varies but littlel There seems
to be certain amount of the article implanted
in us; no more, no less. The boys sled gives
place to the richly caparisoned sleigh, the toy
house to the imposing residence, the toy
watch to real one, the toy boat to an ocean
yacht-but the first yielded quite as much
pleasure as the last
The Christmas gifts and pleasures of youth
brought as much happiness as houses and
lands, honors and fame do in after years.
Our happiness is all relative, anyway We
enjoy by comparison. The boys sled is big
enough to fill his mind The mans Yacht is
merely toy, which has its use for a time
and then ceases to amuse. Christmas is a
reality to the young-a definite pleasure
point. To the full grown boys and girls it is
an attempt to arouse the old enthusiasm, the
belief in Santa Claus, the enjoyment in gift
giving and gift receiving. 1t comes and goes,
and they try hard to persuade themselves
that they enjoyed it with an old time zest.
