But we started to tell you OF recent
visit to Atlanta. - -
Golden September had just begun TO

800 brownies wavered above the fields
and olimmered along the payementsS o
the magic cuy-A'lanta.

siobtseeing, riding the elevators IN 'he
sEy-seapers and feeling the pit Of our stom-
acb leaving us as we shot downward, dod-
oiuo the cars aud being extra polite to the
nolicemer, he took US bodily and carr eu
rs out home with him to wnere he mas d
1nne farm in about three miles OF the
car shed. We spent the night and sun
dav with him. After the city the calm OF
the country was delicious The white
rock house cool and inviting, the deep
rock well, Joy to the thirsty, and the
morning glory vine that twined around
the fences and porehes, subjects tor the
inspiration of the painter, They grew III
iaogIes Of sunset, in clusters OF blue N
armfuls Of creamy satin, in baskets f]il
of dreamy pink Spreading their wings
they looked like pretty birds as they
drank III the dew drops of the morning
and bathed in the liquid fire of the sun
iine. Artist Autumn's brush had not
ct touched the leaves that spread away
from the dwelling, but in the distauce as
if old age had seered it, a giant gum
blazed III garnet garments, a china had
taken on some of its robes Of old gold
and chestnut VAS lowered with all the
colors of The rainbow. A perfect scene
in SIGHT Of the smoke Of Atlanta, that the
week long had smoked and hurried and
fretted aud chafed in haste and now was
smiling to the Sabbath day as the peal OF
the church bells stold over the hills and
along the dells, and said to the world,
that even busy, Fastening, hurrying At
lanm in spite of all its wickedness was
founded on the truths that have no argu-
ment ard leave no room to doubt.
Peace to the great city. Peace, double
and thrible peace on her. Hold there
are cloudsVn the hriahtes day, there are
shadows in the fairest scene. The sense
OF loneliness creeps over us as we are
orce more still. We remember that Miss
Eula as we always call her) lies sick at
the infamary. We are saddencd. She wa
always so kind and considerate Of Others
so charitable to their tailings and char
lcler that, as the lily just opened to the
day, knew no stain. There came the shad
ows on the morning glories and they were
MOI Ms beautiful as at first, down the way is
beautiful cott.ge The cars wander by
the door while the hooking birds whistle
in the trees that overhang it Newly
built and painted The fences are not yet
finished an honest man and woman
struggling had wrung from greedy
world the money to buy it hey dreamed
Of the morning glores and the yellow
roses that would blossom at the doors
they heard as they laid away the hard ear
ned weekly savings, the songs II knocking
j hi dis that would Tit among the blossom
and the dream was Of peaceful years when
the frown Of care should have no greeting
and the sunshine Of happiness be free
from the shadow of sorrow But in the
yard, pmcking the blossoms Of Joy to lay
at the feet of sorrow was the young widow
with her children around her The hus-
band had just the day besore given his
life to the services of those he loved. The
cruel wheels had ground out his life.
The world read with indifference of rail
road accident and The shadows were even
here, out from Atlanta. Just three mines
to try to get away from the city. We can
