OLD SOILS RIDE IN 1949.

Flowery Weather Predictions of the
Journalists of Long Ago.
In these days Of practical newspa-
per writing, in which bald facts are
expressed in the plainest and tersest
form, the fiowery language INDUCED
in by some of the journalists" half a
century ago sounds peculiar. The
following poetic convulsion was copied
by one of the local papers from the
New York Tribune in 1S49 as worthy
Of high place in the newspaper lit
erature of the day:
"On Saturday evening at II minutes
past IL o'clock the sun rode calmly
and mildly over the autumnal equinox
and cast his golden anchor on the win
try coast of autumn. But as yet the
vast ocean of air through which he
sails is glowing and transparent with
the memory of the long summer days
that have passed over it, darting their
rich beams to its very depths. Even
as we write, however, the remem-
brance fades, like the sky's blanching
souvenirs of sunset, and in the dis
tance the cold ghosts of winter glare
and wave their frozen wings, which
creak on icy hinges. while in the ST.
lence of midnight prophetic voice of
wailing and desolation means fitfully
at the easement"
Few people can contemplate this
specimen of literary architecture with
out experiencing feeling of awe and
sadness. with a few cold shivers Cd
the side. 1t is proof positive that the
profession has in some things gained
by what it has lost.-Albany Argus.
