CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK
l started with buoyant step and "a heart
for any fate" went westward at the edge
Of town turned to the right and passed by
"Shiplcy's Den," and followed the road to
his outlook, from which can be OBJ
tanned most charming panoramic view of
the northern end of Frederick county, which
must be seen to be appreciated. After a
hasty glance pass on to my objective point,
rcsclviug this spot for another trip. A road
inclining to the left from here brings the
tourist to Chimney Rock.
AS quietly turned to view the landscape

in silent awe contemplating the grandeur so

the Alleghanies surrounded by the uncertain
light of early dawn, amid the spendor OF an
autumnal noon.day sun evolved in the
shades of mellow twilight and shrouded by
the mystic moonlight, but their height and
isolated dwellings produced feeling of
sublimity, that endured for a great length of
time, would become oppressive; but here all
is so beautiful, picturesque and restful, COM
bined with subtle sublimity Of which it
seems one could never tire.
Link after link of this mountain chain

nestled amid its fields crowded with granite
pillars from many states ofour glorious union.
To the south one graceful curve succeeds
another IN varying extent to the quiet Poto'
mac and the sentincl-like Sugar Loaf Cone.
Lying within the sheltering arms Of this
semi circle extent to the beautiful Blue Ridge
is an expanse of rural beauty and fertility
that cannot be surpassed and scarcely equalled
in our notable America Just back of Chin
ney Rock are other points more elevated,
from which even more wonderful and ell
trancing views can be obtained, while the
mountain itself Is fascinating in its varying
rugged simplicity suggestive of unchangin &
COP tinuance and cool, restful retreats along
the banks of its winding streams.
But the deepening twilight warns me that
Unjust soon descend the mountain side and
reluctantly withdraw from that which has
held me spel.bouDd and thus notice the
peculiar appearance OF the rocks which
caused the mountain to be SO named. They
resemble ancient masonry and show that
sometime in the past, however distant, all was
rot silent grandeur here. Did some sudden
upheaval of the primal earth rend asunder
those rocky masses? Who knows the past
of those gray boulders? Did some long ex-
tinct race have their affairs upon Its crest
with the unexpresscd hope that its high
seclusion would win them favor from the
God they knew not, yet unconsciously
sought?
Busy with these thoughts hasten straight
down the mountain side in the gathering
shadows. Not one point ofmy rambe today
has been adequately described. Every sport
beggars description and Hunting Greek Falls
Cold Spring and many other places are
equally attractive.

THE CHURCH SQUARE.

Never before has st. Martinville
enjoyed the spirit of progressive
ness which now impells its citi-
zens towards all enterprises hav-
ing in view it's advancement, and
the result of this laudable emula-
ton has been very marked for the
last year, business having increa-
sed twofold as consequence.
The subject of public park
has received due consideration as
evinced by the liberal cash sub
scriptions gathered for the pur-
pose, but for several reasons has
remained in "Statu Quo" One of
those reasons, which appears to
be a good one, is the objection of
making improvements on the pro-
perty of private individuals. An
other objection is against Park
that would not be in the central
portion of the town.
Since the collection of money
for a public park, there has
sprung up a fund for the improve
ment of the Catholic Church
square. This plan, from all stand
points, seems to be the most &C
ceptable, inasmuch as it will meet
the views of all concerned, and be
of decided benefit to the town, be-
ing the only lot available in a
central portion of town, besides
possessing the advantage of incur
ing no expense for the purchase
of the lot. Now that the bishop
has appointed laymen directors
of the church finances, those
who are in charge of church
funds will no do oubt recognize the
propriety of appropriating a por-
ton of the church revenues for
repairing the Church, which as it
now stands threatens to 60 to
ruin, and is an eye-sore to the
community.
A beautiful green in front of
this mass of decaying ruins will
but offer q contrast for the disad-
vantage of this stately edifce, that
a few dollars would put in proper
repairs.
Let us hope that the church di-
rectors will rise to the situation
and that the subscribers to both
funds will consent to combine the
two funds and make of the church
square an ornament to the town.
WELL wIsHER.
