Through Goshen Pass.

Raphine, Aug. 25.-On the morning
OF August 10Th, a merry party Of young
people accompanied by the writer, left
the little town of Raphine. on an ex-
cursion to and through the far famed
"Goshen Pass" After a merry ride in
the cool and bracing air we arrived at
Cedar Grove and the Mart of trade of
"Ante- Bellum" days, where we were
Joined by merry party from Timber
Ridge. We proceeded on our way
passing that delightful Spa" the
"Rockbridge Baths" then on to Will
sons Springs that strange spring
throwing forth its health giving wat
ers from the midst of an island and
the favOrite resort of the red hunter.
After refreshing ourselves with a de-
licious draught of the sparkling wat
ers of this old spring we entered the
"Pass." The pen of the fluent writer
can not describe the picturesque seen
cry, nor can it protray the beauty of
the fern in it's .mOdesty, nor describe
the lonely pine on the mountain top as
it waves it's sombre boughs to the pass
ing tourist, nor can the brush of an
artist paint the beauty of the little
flower, as it whispered to this merry
party of the grandeur of nature. To
appreciate the grandeur of this 'Pass"
one must see it. The great Maury
said of it that it was one of the
grandest, widest as we'll as one of the
most beautiful of all the mountain
Passes" in Virginia.
AS the traveller advances be sees
mighty walls of rock on each side, as
if the Great Architect intended these
mighty walls to stand as sentinels. On
and on we go, new beauties of nature
break forth at every turn of the way.
Again we see thousands and thousands
of tons Of rock lying in massive piles
as if nature had become tired and had
deposited them. The picture painted
there by the hand of nature is trans
ferred to the mind and heart of the be-
hOlder,-sublime thoughts take posses.
sion of the mind and We raise our
hearts to Him" the Creator and
Builder of these mighty walls for some
wise purpose. Is it possible for our
minds to 60 back to the time when the
waters of North river first began its
work of erosion wearing away its path
through this bulwark of earth and
stone. 1t is grand sight to see the
waters rushing along plunging In cas-
cades to join the waters of the James
at Balcony Falls"
After passing on through this noted
Pass" the Party" partook of sump-
tuous dinner near aisparkling spring.
The pleasant hours of the evening pass
ed swiftly by, in shady nook beside
the brook"
The song of "Homeward Bound"
came to our minds reminding the par
| ty that the time had come for us to
turn Homeward, and as the moon shed
it's silvery beams on our way we re-
turned delighted with our trip through
"Goshen Pass"
