AMONG THE OZARKS.
Miss Thornbureh Writes the
Message an Inter-
esting Letter.

Des Arc, Mo-, Dee. 27.-We
reached our destination at about
1920 p. m, Dec. "a. Had a fore
taste of the rocks and hills before
getting here, for from the ear win
dows we saw lovely, gently rising
hills crowned and fringed with
pretty little cedars.
That night, by the pale light of
the half-shrouded moon, we
threaded the scarcely visible way
between the mountains for about
four miles. High on our right
rose the sharp, jagged rocks, o'er-
topped with tall oaks, and on the
left, deep, far below us, lay little
crooked stream. We could not
tell one direction from another,
for writhing, twisting snake
could scarcely have followed our
road. We seemed to be going no.
where in particular Passed but
one dwelling, and saw not one
living thing-nOt a squirrel, not a
crow. We finally made n sharp
turn and came to break in the
mountains, and there before us lay
a little valley, fenced in with rails,
and set with a tiny cabin, from
whose windows the light streamed
cheerily. SO comfortable, so shut
in, so sheltered it all loOked-it
seemed entirely shut off from all
the world, there seemed to be
nothing beyond.
On Christmas day our party of
five climbed one of the highest
points, u distance of about a mile
and half. Rocks! Nothing but
rocks. The mountains are literally
coverered with them. They are all
colors, from white, blue, pink to
dark green and black. The noun
tains are all heavily wooded and
are used for nothing; they belong
to spectators who, some day, will
sell the timber. We descended just
as the sun was sinking. 1t was a
grand sight! The lights and col
ors on the neighboring hills
changed every few minutes, as the
sun changed its position.
But, pshaw, the natives down
here don't know what beauty lies
at their very doors. They never
think of climbing these beautiful
hills, gathering the multi-colOreG
rocks, and viewing the sunrise.
This morning the mists hung
heavy until about noon. That is
almost as pretty as the sunshine
The daylight is two hours shorter
here than in Audrain, on accoun
of the mountains.
The farmers raise patches O.
grain here and there; but littl,
stock. These hills would be fine
for goats, l should think. All do
mestic animals are belled, els
their owners would never fin,
them when once they were let out
These are the jolliest, happiest
most wholesome, hospitable peopl
| ever met. They, seemingly, d.
nothing but cook, eat and visit
You would never think it ha,
been dry down here if you saw tn
tables piled with everything tina
could appease mortal mans appe
tite. Work Of all kinds is droppe
when a visit or party is mentioned
This evening we are to elm
another mountain and visit ia
nous cave and spring.

THE FLIGHT OF TIME.

Family flow, thou falling river,
Like dream that dies away;
Down to ocean gliding ever,
Keep thy calm unruffled way:
Time with such silent motion,
Floats along on wings of air,
To eternity's dark ocean,
Burying all its treasures there.
Roses bloom and then they wither;
Cheeks are bright, then fade and die,
Shapes of light are waited hit1er--
Then, like visions, hurry by:
Quick as clouds at evening driven
Ger the n1any-Coloured west.
Years are bearing us to heaven,
Home of happiness and rest.
