PERSINMON TREE GLORY.

Persimmons are here. The frost
king has crowned their luscious full
ness. The thrifty tradesman has
wrapped them in white, packed them
in little boxes, and our city cousins
are buying them. We are glad that
our cousins may enjoy this delicacy.
But they can never know the persim-
mon, nor have the sauce that goes
with it, unless they come out to the
woods.
We shall never forget the fading
afternoon of a November day, the
hillsides all garmented in crimson
and gold, the lispin' of the leaves.
The man in the moon was smiling
down upon us before We started home
iu the twilight. There was some
thing kind of "hairty like" about the
atmosphere. Life was pitched in a
key of supreme fullness. We had been
out for persimmons.
Many an old man, in memory, is
climbing the fence of that pasture
today, and is painting with joy, rae
ing across for the persimmon tree
Now he's climbing it, .'claw, tooth
and toenail." And in fancy he hears,
as he spits on his hands, the ring of
the boys laugh. That tree leads to
glory.
There is the taste of ripe age, the
strength of manhood and the juicy |
Joy of youth in the persimmon out |
there. These can never be wrapped |
and boxed and sold to our city |
cousins.
