velous in our eyes-the children of their grand
children
Among the foremost responding to the Call of
the Wild" was the party headed by Joseph
Hanks; quite large party and merry, as day
after day they climbed the solitary heights, fol-
lowing steadily, day by day, the zig gag course
plainly marked out by the heavy wagons that
had gone before; camping at night where their
predecessors had camped by some cool spring
bursting from hidden source.
Joyfully they at length deserted the great gap
in the Cumberland range, through which they
would pass into the borderland of Kentucky-the
great highway of travel today through these
mountain Businesses. They were light of heart;
their toilsome journey seemed almost ended for
beyond this gap lay the promised land.
When they entered the deile between the two
ranges, the sun, great globe of fire. lingering on
the western SUBMITS of other heights, grad
ualy sinking into his couch Of flame tinted
clouds; the eastern SUBMITS had caught the
splendor of his setting rejecting on their cloud
capped heights the golden glow.
Twilight falls quickly in these gorges, and
the heavy laden oX-carts moving slowly over the
tawny streak of dirt road, winding around the
crags through bits of forest, and shallow
brawl1ng streams were soon engulfed in the
dusky shades which seemed to rise from the
depths below to meet them and encompass them
in gloom.
deep silence fell upon the travellers now
vending their way through the perilous valley,
hemmed in on either side by rugged heights. Only
the crunchng of the wheels of the heavy carts
oxen pursued their journey. The bird songs had
all ceased; only the birds of the night were
fitting hither and thither noiselessy and swift
ly in the gathering darkness The sharp bark
ing of wolf in the distance now gave warning
that it was time to halt in their journey and
light their camp fires for the night.
Soon after they reached level plateau bear
ing evidences of having served as camping
place for emigrants who had preceded them only
a few hours for the embers of their fires were
scarcely dead Nearby bubbled spring, cool and
fresh from some hidden mountain source Here
they halted. The horses were tethered and fed
in secluded spot and the oxen, unyoked, were
allowed to browse in the bush grass which al
ready clothed the slopes. The cows were
milked the ovens were set and the women soon
busted themselves in the preparation of a tooth
some repast, for they had found game plentiful
in the forests through which they had Travelled.
The children, meanwhile, glad to be released
from the wagons, merry the crickets now be-
ginning to chirp in the grass, spread the cloths
and set out the cups and platters and water was

lower and nearer mountain tops; the drifts piled
high in the valleys melt and joining the noun
tain streams now released from the icy grasp of
winter rush in wild torrents down the channels
cut deep in the shifting red sands by hundreds of
years of such freshets.
The fir trees released from their snowy vest
ments now lift up their dull green branches,
fresh plumed with the tender greenng of spring.
From their midst the redbud and the dogwood
burst into huge bouquets of pink and white; de-
licous patches of color in the wildwood in which
is now heard the piping songs of the robins, the
blue-birds and the meadow larks, leaders of the
bird migration northward from their southern
habitats. Against the feecy white clouds which
curtain the tree tops the swallows darting hither
and thither spying out the land, it would seem,
look like canoes silhouetted on the clouds.
BY the middle of March a great change has
come over the gigantic heights, which all winter
have loomed up in the distance, glowing, myster
Gus, and forbidding Within week the cnging
ivy has blotted out the wrinkles, that seam the
aged face of the mountains, and trees and vines
clothed with delicate verdure. Higher up the
great black holes of the leafess trees longer
stand out like the masts of the derelict ships at
sea, but full rigged with sails and shrouds of
the most diaphanous green unfured, they fill,
and tack, and shift with every breeze.
Stately professions of wild geese are conf

There is sylvan crispness, and freshness in the,
air which invigorates all nature.
The sheep that have been folded in the valleys
all winter have now become restless, and are
bursting their barriers in search of fresh pas
lures. The patient herd of kline growing impa-
tent of long restraint, are lowing for the green
fields that clothe the hillsides. By these tokens
one knows that spring has come and the wander
lust is as strong upon man and the beasts of the
field as upon the birds of the air whose coming
from their southern habitats may be reckoned
upon as surely, as the bursting of the crocus
through the bare green earth, and the blooming
of the wild cherry in the woods.
May is here, and the lure of the wilderness
seems to have fallen upon the whole Valley of
Virginia for along the emigrant trail is moving
a great procession of emigrants, all headed for
the mountains and the bluegrass lands beyond
Forgetfu of the perils by the way, and the hard
ships and privations in store for the pioneers,

- AN@ NSw'
rra HE summer of 1889 passed in the Valley of
il Virginia as had all other summers gone be-
- fore with it's seed time and harvest, The
fields were now in bloom with the delicate daisy
ike wild flowers which follow the wake of the
mower covering the bare brown earth with the
tender greening of spring, sifted over it seemed,
with snowf1akes the millions of feathery white
flowers swayed hither and thither with every
passing breeze. The zigzag worm fences" di-
viding the fields overrun with the poison oak
vne-now scarlet and brown from the first touch
of frost-held in the corners great punches of
yellow plumed golden rod, proclaiming the ad-
vent of fall.
On the mountains the frost king had already
set his seal in bazonry of gold and crimson and
brown; arabesques, and strange devices upon the
dark green background of the pine forests
through which piercing winds were already sigh
ing melancholy requiem over the days gone by,
never to return.
The rhododendron, whose dainty pink and
white flowers during the summer had made beau
tiful every point of vantage upon the shelving
crags, now displaced by the brilliant Sumach,
whose dark green leaves transformed into vivid
scarlet, blazed forth like signal lights, warning
every passer on the lonely trai-now almost de-
serted-of the dangers and hardships OF winter
travel, making the journey through the pass too
hazardous to undertake before the snow had
melted from the lower ranges of the mountains
Joseph Hanks, Robert MITCHELL Richard Berry
and Thomas Sparrow, all of whom had married
sisters of Abraham Lincoln's wife, had located,
with him. certain tracts of land in Washington
county, Kentucky in order that they might be
near each other. The tragic fate which had be-
fallen him in his new home in the early spring
of 17S9 dampened their ardor, perhaps, for
time but the lure of the wilderness had so firm
hold upon them all that the late fall season
found them looking forward eagerly to the
breaking up of the hard cold winter,-which al
ways in this region, holds so close grip upon
all nature,-to move their families and household
goods over the forbidding Businesses toward
which they turned continually their longing eyes
he Cumberland

Elements and towers, glitterng in the sunlight
sharply outlined against the blue canopies above
them; sometimes they seem melting in the feecy
clouds which float over them.
The pine forests, girdling the lower ranges
still heavily draped in their winding sheets OF
snow look like grim spectres with uplifted arms
guarding the passway into the mysterious valley
beyond of which they all dream, and talk, and
speculate, sitting around their glowing fires OF
pine knots which fill the ample hearths.

The Alumni Reception.

The reception of the Tionesta High
Scho )l Alumni is always one of the
brilliant social events of the season, and
that given last Friday evening in Bo-

new, Miss Essie Scowden, Miss June
Herman, Miss Marie Smearbaugh, Mrs.
Gordon Haslet, and Messrs. Robert A.
Fulton, Il. g. Henry and Jay Bankhead,
each graduating class being represented.
willing hands had been at work during
the day and the result was that the hall
was transformed into perfect bower of
beauty, the decorations consisting of in
Vulnerable college banners, evergreen
and laurel blossoms. A departure was
made in the program from former occa-
sions, in that there were no speeches, and
the guests passed a few hours very
pleasantly in conversation and enjoying
the fine music rendered by Coleman's
orchestra of Titusvile. Elegant and sat
isfying refreshments were served and at
a late hour the audience resolved itself
into dancing party, the younger folk
remaining until the wee small hours.
Among the guests present from out of
town were, Miss Hazel Williams, of
Meadville; Miss Nellie Trent, of Johns
town; Miss Loretta Castner, of Marien-
vile; Miss Bess Byers and Bert Osborne,
