THE BERRY SPRINGS.

The fact that nature in her bounti-
fulness has surrounded this fountain
of sparkling water with all the beau.
tiful scenery that man in his hunger
for the poetic, could desire, seems TO
have been overlooked, lost sight Of
or never appreciated by the liberty
loving denizens Of this prosaic burg.
II located elsewhere it would long
ago have blossomed into a summer
resort of wide famed notoriety, or
been heralded to the world as of all
medicinal springs, the fountain, as it
were, of life. Browns Sequard
Elixir would have been a mere infant
compared to the wonders performed
by this sparkling fountain Of life.
| The beauties of the Moreau that has
| enchanted the soul Of more than one
romantic poet, would lend its pictur-
%esqueness to the adornmcnt of the
springs. Boat houses would grow
like weeds in a lawyers garden, and
a pavilion would mark the place
where now the bullfrog romps and
the lizard plays hide and seek with
the other reptiles that now infest the
place. Why nature should thus be
Disseminated against by so esthetic a
community as this, remains one of
those puzzling problems that is be.
You'd the understanding of man. An
ardent admirer of the soul-inspiring
freshness of the scenery that cannot
ever escape the vision of the most
flegmatic nature, feels this slight Of
nature keenly and enters his protest
and surprise and expresses his great
sorrow and humiliation. A drive to
this resort over a gravel road that has
no superior in the state, would give
pleasure to the most contrary being
and add years to his life and youth
to his years. For the young man it
would be enchanted glory and roses
in the desert, so 10 speak, and to the
children it would bring gladness un.
confined. But where is the great
public beLefaction that will take the
lead in making the ideal the real?

The republican party is the great
party of principles. Unlike the demo-
cratic party, it is not a time.seryer,
but q party Of action. 1t moves for
ward, while the democratic party
hesitates. 1t creates governmental
principles while the democratic party
looks ON in amazement and wonder
at its courage, but time vindicates its
course and that is what makes it
strong with the people. Parties,
like men, could remain in ert, and
like men, die without a monument to
mark its last resting place, but the
republican party does not belong in
that category.
