FALLS OF SALISBURY.

Even the mountains appear to smile with
Satisfaction. In all the scenery I ever read
about in guide books and letters of travel
It was the valleys that smiled. Here the
valley sleeps, and grows beautiful and
takes on the color of health and tho digni-
ty Of repose; it is the mountain that smiles,
with a wide, green grin and radiant,
verdant brow-probably from delight in
the scene which its good fortune enables it
to behold through 4 all eternity. The
mountain which has pushed itself nearest
the little gem Lakeland think that is
what Wononscopomoc means-is an abrupt
and interesting knob of the Taconics.
Ssme one has said they should be called
the Laconics, because they have SO little
to say.
Probably they think silence their best
part, fbr the visitor who climbs to the top
of this knob talks enough for all concerned.
He goes into ecstasies of rapture and an
orgie of exclamation points over the beauty
of the scene spread out before him. The
lake, with its near by but diminutive
neighbor, Wononpakook, the darkly wood
ed shores, the long slopes covered with
forests, titled fields, snug farmhouses and
winding roads, the rolling hills of Berk-
shire and Litchfeld counties. and far away
in hazy perspective, but easily discern
ible, the Harlem valley and the Hudson.
At the foot of the hill nestles the village of
Lakeville, with its spires and mills-not
enough of the latter to mar the scene with
much suggestion of mammon-and little
distance away down the valley the wide,
straight street of quaint old Salisbury.
This panorama of nature is not grand.
It Is simply beautiful, quiet, pleasing, sat
isfying. The enjoyment of scenery de-
pends largely upon the person, for, as DIR.
Holmes says, Zone need not go to Berk-
shire unless he has mountains in his head,
nor to Nahant unless he has an ocean in
his soul. Nature plays at dominoes with a
man. You must match her piece for piece"
It Is true, also, that to some prosaic minds
there is nothing in the world where there
are not people, hustle, commerce, plenty of
money, devils. To them the lake, the for
ct, the glen, are SO much waste. They
have no oceans in their souls, no mountains
in their heads.
:. The theory that environments of natural
beauty are necessary to the growth of poets
must be in part true, for Bryant came
from this region, besides poets Of lesser
fame; and it was a commonplace looking
nntive who recalled to me, as we talked Of
the lack of soul for scenery in some people,
that when Millet painted "The Angelus"
he didn't know and no one knew that he
had great picture till one day an litter
ate man with a soul in him came along,
saw the painting and exclaimed: my
Godl the Angelusl 1 can hear the bells"
And then MilIet knew he had great
picture, and the world has since accepted
It ~ . masterpiece.
Luckily Lakeville and its region have SO
many attractions that man with any
sort Of . soul in him cannot fail to. hear

heen told could be found in all their prim-
sval glory the two principal objects of my
journey-beautiful scenery, such as lakes,
mountains, ravines and sleeping villages,
and ancient rock ribbed, New England con-
ssrvatism. I found both, and want to
tell you about them. All my life have
hAd New England scenery pictured to my
minds eye as the finest in the world, and
New England conservatism has been sung
to me and preached to me as the ne plus
ultra Of human excellence. Now know
them by virtue of personal acquaintance.
Tho scenery, must own, is restful to the
eye and softening to the spirit. Take, for
instance, this little town of Lakeville. 1t
II . nero country village, and the villagers
sell soap and dry goods and nails and gar
den seeds, and are as prosaic as any people
can be. Yet what environments for the
stimulation of the muse they live amidst!
Here Is Lake Wononscopomoc. The only
thing l can say against it is its name, and
the lake is not responsible for that. Here
It fairly nestles among the hills like dia-
mond in jewel case. It is perhaps half
mile in diameter and almost as round as a
dinner plate. Its bottom is alive with
perennial springs, its chief water supply.
The banks are gravelly. with earth's man.
tie Of green running everywhere down to
the waters edge, and here and there on the
shore are groves of elms and naples.
The water of Wononscopomoc-ug
what q namei-is as clear as apolhnaris.
Go upon it in a little boat, and the bottom,
through deep, is seen as though plate glass.
Only the pickerel and the black bass-those
exquisites of the fnny tribe that are SO
dainty about their element that they take
insult and HE away at the first sign of con-
tamination-inhabit it. Out of one end of
the lake trickles pretty stream, which,
sad to relate, is put to the prosaic use of
turning the wheels of mill.
With this little diamond lake as its gem
I scorn to repeat the word Wononscopomoc
moro often than may be necessary-the
country round about rises gradually but
proudly, here in succession of plateaux,
there in long upward sweep of grassland,
and again in more abrupt activities. till
the mountain tops are reached. Wise
nature appears to have SO ordered things
here that from every point of view for
many miles around the crystal lake may
be plainly seen-an amphitheater in which
millions Of observers might assemble to see
the gem below.

Confidence.

It is but single word-Confidence
but how wide and weighty III mean
ing and effect it is. What significant
forces are wrapped up in it. As some
one has truly said Confidence is
the foundation upon which all orders
are built, whether it be social, inan-
cial or business of any nature. In fact,
it's the groundwork of the Christian
religion, and is simply another word
for faith. Knock that prop from under
it and the whole system falls a chaotic
mass. Take confidence out of your
social order, and doubt and suspicion
run riot in the land. Take confidence
out Of the financial world and it shiv-
ers it into irretrievable ruin. It's the
faith we have in the world and its
people that moves it without jar or
friction. Destroy that faith and blear
eyed doubt looks out with trembling
suspicion. If this be true, and we do
not think there are many honest men
who doubt it, how careful ought we to
be in discharging the trust imposed
upon us in our several capacities of
life by which we win and maintain
cOnfidence.''

ANOTHER SHOW COMING,
The Best of all Ten Cent Circuses to
be in Henderson.

Mr.. John F. Stowe. proprietor of
Stoves Circus. was here yesterday
arranging for the appearance Of his
show in Henderson. He will pitch his
tents here next Thursday. Nov. 18th,
and will remain three days, He tells
US he does not claim to have the biggest
and best show in the world, but he
does insist that he has the cleanest.
best and most popular one for the
money travelling. The price is only
10 cents and the performance is first
class in every respect. The show is
spoken OF in very complimentary terms
by the press wherever it has been. A
special evening performance will be
given for the benefit Of the ladies and
children. If all the people connected
with the show are as clever. courteous
and gentlemanly as the proprietor we
can commend it to those who delight
in such amusements. The Staunton
(Na.) Daily News, Of October 9th,
says this OF Stoves Circus:
GOOD SHOW.
John L. Stoves circus, which was
received last week in Harrisonburg
with so much favor, appeared in Staun-
ton yesterday, On the old foundry lot,
in the first two exhibitions of an en-
gagement for three days. The per-
Torrance is exceedingly good for the
admission fee, only ten cents. The
bicycle riding Of the Elliott family,
and the feat Of strength performed by
Mc1nerney, the Irish wrestler, were
far better than what is generally seen
in those lines of amusement. The
street music Of the circus band, which
included a concert last night at the
bank corner, was enjoyed by every
body in hearing distance.
Ladies' Imported Louis XIV Palelot
is among the latest things in the way of
wraps found at WATKINS.
