How the Gentle Freezes Blow in New
Eden, Paradise Co., Tex.
A gentle zephyr, softly cooling and
murmuring sweet melodies OF the flower
scented South, comes floating Ger the
prairie, with fairy fans lulling the
worlds weary workers into blissful FOR
getfulness Of all toll and trouble, WOO
ing them into dreams of violet bank:
and wild birdlings, OF grass-swee'
islands in the far-away ocean.
As harbinger of peace eternal and
Joy supernal it comes TO the sons OF
men, this sweet south wind.
Then, with a faint sigh OF regret II
softly steals away, tripping, like a
maiden fair, lightly over the moon
bathed meadows.
But presently it returns, laughingly,
yet caresSingly, as if boon to mankind
too precious to be withdrawn.
Then softly, gently, wailingly, it
floats away, :.
But again and again it comes, stead
lly increasing in sWiftness and energy
with each return.
This pretty, coquettish little way is
kept up for some time.
At last, as II tired Of toying with the
lush grasses and the timid iowerets, as
IL weary of grooming its lullaby, it as
sumes a different manner, now .dashing
recklessly along, its capricious mood
changing to one more suggestive o.
violence than playfulness.
Then it rests awhile. You listen.
You hear 1t not. You think it has gone
far, far away, never more to return.
But, no. 1t has only paused to take
fresh breath in its lungs and to redouble
its strength.
Suddenly all is changed. 1t backs
down the big road ten miles to take a
running start, then buckling on it's ar
NOR, backing its ears and shaking its
name, It comes like q giant refreshed
from his sleep. 1t seizes the wild mes
quite bOughs, whirling and twirling
TWEEN, as II but slender threads twisted
by some mighty spinning-wheel. Then
it.becomes Infused with a martial spirit,
as II urged on by all the legions OF the
earth.
On and on it comes, with shrieks OF
anger and deepening roars.
The concert OF the elements has
opened.
There's swish, swish, swish, and a
whiZz and zlzz, zizz, zizz, zizzeeeee,
then a louder roar and crash, and the
sound OF great ships struggling through
mountain-high waves, now plunging,
now dragging anchor, then grating over
rocks. then the creaking OF hand organs,
the yell of hotel boys. the wall Of in
fants, the roar of artillery, the screams
of lunatics the tramp OF soldiery, the
screech Of the cowboy Of fiction, the
hoarse voices of pirates, the banging OF
WORKOUT pianos, the shrill falsetto
shrieks OF women, the crashing OF
timbers, the whistle OF en-
gines, the filing Of saws, the Tapping
of sails, the paddle strokes of ocean
steamers, tin pans clanking, mules
braying, fiends yelling, thunder peal
ing, owls hootiRg, sailors disappearing,
accordions wheeling, hyenas scream
ing, ROSTERS Growing, trumpets blow
ing, horses neighing, brass bands play
ing. wolves bowling, coyotes youalling,
wildcats raging, deamons groaning,
lions roaring, and bin! bin! acceleran-
do fortissimo, zip, zip, whizz! zip, ZIP,
HEIRLOOM! the wind-shrunken houses
tremble and groan, the sun-warped
shutters rattle as ii played on by the
fingers of ten thousand furies, and
there's q zizz zee zee zte, as II the wa
tiers Of Niagara were tumbling down
over red-hot fiery furnaces, Sizing,
whizzing, whizzlng, Sizing, and then,
BIN! BAN! boom! boom!
Your brain is churned. Your senses
reel You know no more.
And that's how the gentle breezes
blow in New Eden, Paradise county,
Texas.
PLEASANT RIDERHooD.
