HILLspALE, Mr.. WASHINGTON, MD,
July 19.--In Altruria, il is said that
when one has good thing it should be
handed on as a pleasing gift, so that
eventually all the world becomes pos
sessed of sunshine and sweetness. To
me, who have listened to the many and
varied noises of the great, big city, who
have felt that my heart was beating too
rapidly in the effort to keep up with its
Energy and be in unison with the world
about me, it seemed like great won
crous gift when l reached place that
bad been made beautiful not by man,
bat by God.
