AMELIE RIVES IN AN OK CART

The Virginia PoetcRs Erfps ed the
Holidays Distributing Blankets "a
the Poor.
The last sensation IN regard 10 Amelic
Rives Chanler has been produced by the
news that she rode through the rural
district in the vicinity of her residence,
Castle Hill, in an OK cart. Doubtless this
ride i'll become as famous as John Gil.
pins or that of Lady Godiva. II bears a
likeness to the latter. in that both Godiva
and Amelie, young and beautiful, and
stirred with compassion. ride forth to
save their people in distress.
For some time past Mrs. Chanler has
been dispensing charity to TIE poor
around her as she heard of their need;
but recently, tbs said, she has sent for
5000 worth Of blankets and warm cloth
ing, which she presented in person at
this festive season from the body Of this
unique chariot.
Those who have seen Amelie Rives
Chanler can fancy her standing with her
fair hair in her new found car of mercy,
radiently beautiful against the rough out
lines of the cart, like a lovely rose blush
ing besides a rude hut which serves as a
foil ID its beauty.
Perhaps she was nearer happiness, as
she looked with moist eyes into the up
turned faces around her, than she had
ever been before. She is turning from
.-er self centred life to consider woes of
others. Surely his IS one Of the points
on which happiness catches the light.
There are those who impugn her mo.
tives and accuse her of a desire for noto.
riety only in this new fad" But while
Thackerav teaches us to look for mixed
motives in the actions of all, let IS give
to the lady in question the benefit of the
doubt, and admire these generous deeds
as done from a compassionate heart.
Certainly these live acts are better than
the dead words of ITO all women in
which all is a mere se~ntimentality except
what is s~acrilegioLs.
How she endured SO slow a mode of
progression as oxen afford, or the jolting
or IA s~prIpglesS cart after her soft car.
riages. remains to be told. But she is
very much of a child in many ways, and
would take this cart ride for the sake of
a new sensation and for an innocent,
childish lark" She has little variety in
her quiet, studious, country life. Just
before Mr.. Chanler left for Paris, she
sent for a number of the colored people,
and TO the music of the banjo and the
