Of Course 1t was the Moonlight.

F1Om The Ledrv IGd.) COWier.
Rev. James f. Wray, we'll known in this
section as a young minister of exceptional
ability, recently gave to the public through
the medium of the Atlanta Constitution a
poem entitled, The Ravens Secret" Not
being fam liar with tho subject, we are I'M
able to judge of the merit of the poem
However, we excerpt the following lines
from it, which we pronounce tip top;
Her lssome limbs in samite's shade,
And breast SO warm and white,
Where oft my loving fingers played
With moonlight through the night
And dumb and blind with Joy so sweet
Our raptured hearts in music beat"
These lines are lurid, but they "get there, -
and show the author 10 be preacher of
spirit. There is still doubt, however, owing
to the architecture of the lines, as to whether
it was the moonlight or the girl he was
'monkeying" with. We trust it was the
moonlight.
