PrimmS Springs.

Mr.. MISUNDERSTANDING from
chronic attack OF hnanclal la,gtlpL",,
invitation of a friend to spend lew
weeks at this place.
We left COlumbia on the morning Oh
the 18th of June, and for ten miles we
bounded along merrily behind last
team: aftor awhile we found the road
rough and were thoroughly shaken up;
down mills and through valleys, then
through delightful stretch OF WOOD
land country. There had been little
shower in the morning, and every leai
was shining, radiant green, every Wllu
flower tXhaling sweetest ouof, anu
every bird shouting its songs OF JOY anu
welcome TO the day.
fO md p rimms Springs, which nesties
sO coZilV, and dreams on so silently, De-
tween Two big hills. AZ
We were welcomed heartily ny mr.
Estes. the proprietor, and Mr.. Alex
Rarker's family, who are in charge OF
the Estes House this season. We FOUND
the air bracing, the scenery VarIeu ANU
grand, the proprietor simple, klnd anu
hospitable, with nature braced by tne
Keen air in which he has lived. 1t IS
so cool here to-day we require wraps
and heavy clothing; it is so qIlet ana
serene, far away from the daily tldes
of life which go ebbing and nowlng;
Vrhe world forgetting and by the worlu
forgot" We eat, drink, sleep, and go
fishino, 1t would make old lack
WeItoIl's mouth water to see the big
trout, .anmindful of US lying top OF
the water, their FURNISHED, silVery Sues
~IeaminR in the broad sunshine. AT
no time IN the season is lille wildly gay
| at this place, and any one can parClcl-
nate in the pleasure without staining
| their conscience. But it is as restful As
| a benediction, and one never more
! fnlIv understands the dolce Jdr-Hiente.
| The battle time of adversely, the
chimerical antics of the brain, the white
winged messenger with blue stamp,
| have all given place to moVeless
| Ian0uor, q sense of peace.
| There are visitors here from Franklin
| Spring Hill and Columbia. And every
thing in apple-pie order Tor the re-
ception of other guests. Hon: IL,
| Henry Harlan and Mr.. Ed. McKennon,
of Columbia, left last week mucn 10 the
Rev. Fred Thompson of Spring Hill
WAS added to the list OF visitors this
and sympathetic hearts that never
grow old, and teaches in his own person
the sweetness of those lives
"Wherein perpetualIy doth reign
The summer calm of golden charity
Mrs A. p. Church, who has been here
a week, is steadily improving.
| The scraps OF conversation one calches
ON the galiaries, among the groups OF
mon, women and gayly dressed girls
are in themselves eSSehIlatiy IS.plS"i
One party is deeply IN discussion
politics, another of religion or business
and each wakes warm in trying to max
his audience see the point quite an i'm
portant thing by the way.) Here, oh'
crows very near to the cOhgenlal peopl
in a very short while, for sympathie
are discovered ard friendships formed
that influence ones life, that in othe
and less favorable surroundings Woui(
| take wears to develop, and at the break
inc mn of so many pleasant ties, Their
will be mingled with the feeling o
Satisfaction one of sadness and an ire
sistable, fearful wonder as to when AM
whore IF ever we shall all meet again
Primm Springs, with the hope that W
may always find something in thi
beautiful world of loving human heart
and birds aud beasts and flowers tina
will make us glad enough to sing witt
trill and tender thrill and heart
good will. SOPHEY SPARKLE
