ALLEeHANy SPRINGS.

Allegheny Springs, Va, August S.-Any
one who believes he can take In every
thing will be taken in himself. So many
things OF individual interest happen in a
gathering of summer folk that it would DO
next TO impossible to speak without
frightening a letter to forbidden proper
ton. The loltorers W the Springs do about
the same thing TO pass the time. Driving,
cards. dancing. music In the parors, etc.,
and 1t is the rule here.
Mrs Weir from Galveston and her
daughter are here. Miss Cora recited
three selections one evening and the re-
peated encores evidenced the appreciation
OF the listeners,

New England Clubdom.

Gloucester Mass. August 9.-New Eng
land elubdom is well represented among
the knltters," II not "spinners T. the
sun" on the hotel piazzas of Bass Rocks,
and delightful accounts are given OF the diff
ferent clubs and OF individual experiences.
There are a few officers here and there,
but by far the larger number of members
with great candor and good deal OF hui
NOR the faults as well as the excellences
of their respective clubs.
This clearness and frankness OF vision
seems TO be wholly lacking in the officer.
She is too much Interested looks at her
club entirely from the personal standpoint
thus losing much that is truest and best
along with the incongruites and amusing
phases of club life.
"The's as much human natur' In some
folks as the's in others, II not more" says
wise David Harum," and clubs are pow
erful full of human natur'." even in New
England.
Here, where all the wisdom of the ages
is supposed to be kept on tap. clubs had
their beginnings just as they did In Texas.
and. strange to say, few OF them are older
The need OF mental Improvement and
closer social relationship was the starting
point as with us; then the intellectual
pleasure proving sufficient, the social fea-
ture was eliminated. Here, philanthropy
took its place, as public libraries and civic
Improvement did in the Texas federation
Mrs. j. Il. Goodrich OF the Social Science
club OF Newton, Mass. tells me her clup
began with tea and discussions on house,
hold economies, and net at the residences
OF the members in rotation. Soon house
hold economy enlarged into the study OF
all economic questions OF interest to them
as wives, mothers and citizens and the
club gradually grew from the parlor anu
a few congenial spirits TO membership
of 100, housed In beautifully furnished
club rooms, with well chosen library.
etc. In the winter the club attends strict
iy to club work, but during the summer
vacation II runs kindergarten for factory
children and a kitchen school for factory
girls.
The following programme for 1sS9-1900
shows how far the Newton social scientists
have advanced from the tea and talk"
OF their early years. The club was organ
lied in 1885 with this fine working motto;
privilege is Obligation"

FOREST MUSINGS.

For The Post.
Above me tower the giant trees.
Their gnarled and knotty limbs
Responsive to the evening breeze,
Are vocal with sweet hymns.
Lo At my feet purling brook
Glides unsteady along,
Through vale, and glen, and tangled nook
With sweetly murmured song.
Slow sailing in ethereal blue
The golden sun looks down
On many fair and glorious view,
In forest. field and town.
Around, above, beneath is Cod
All Natures mystic breath
The Only that survives the sod;
The Aptidote of death.
These giant oaks will droop and die;
Their hymns be lulled to peace;
The babbling brook anon will dry,
Its ripping voice will cease.
The moon will pale; the sun Will roll
AS through brazen sky;
And Heaven itself as II a scroll,
Be folded up on high
But God will live. and live, and live.
Forever young us now;
The hand of Time can never give
wrinkle to His brow.
And when distinctions sable veil
Is cast DER Natures form.
And Time, with agonizing wall.
Expires mid FIRE and storm.
He still will find realm above
To govern as His own,
with mighty scepter forged OF Love,
And Wisdom for His throne.
