\ Faint Glimpse OF the MagnifceDce and
Wonders of the White City.
When I turned my face homeward
from Chicago and the Exposition, it
was with feeling of relief from the
labor of sightseeing. had scarcely
set foot on my native heath, however,
before az inmost desire to transplant
myself again in the White City took
possession of me-like one who, once
drinking at the fountain Of knowledge,
desires to climb the heights Of fame.
i never looked into guide-book at
{ the Exposition until my fourth day in
Chicago. I took no notes of what i
saw, although there were thousands of
! men and women going around with
notebook and pencil in hand. It is
sweet to me Gas the Romans say to
call to mind some Of the wonderful
things at the Exposition, and so in
spring are the impressions received
that, like unbidden, though not un-
welcome guests, they come trooping
through the halls of memory.
