My Birthplace.

The house described by this writer
is the old Cartwright home at Glen
vile:
One summer while visiting my
grandfather, my uncle took me to a
small village to visit my birthplace
l found it to be large, old-fashioned
frame house, setting back a short dis
lance from the road, and presenting a
very forlorn, neglected appearance.
Standing guard over the entrance
were two giant locust trees, nodding
and whispering together of she ghosts
of the past. A stone walk led up to a
small portico that was overrun with
vines, while on either side, under the
frolt windows, were remnants of for.
Egotken flower beds The front yard,
|S6seo1ld hardly be called a lawn, was
grown over with crab grass and field
daisies, and one side had even develop
ed blackberry patch.
AS l stood in the quiet summer aft
ernoon listening to the gentle murmur
of the trees, and gazing uponjthe scene
before me, all the memories of the
stories mother had told me of the past,
came crowding back upon me. Walk
ing slowly up the walk, 1 parted the
vines, and stepped upon the portico.
From here to the back of the house
ran large hall. The scene from the
back door showed the ruins of the old
chimney, directly at the left, but be-
yond that was an orchard, a beautiful,
peaceful orchard that rolled gently TO-
ward the creek in the distance
Walking around on the other side, 1
found gigantic sycamore tree, under
which mother had spent many a joyful
hour. Continuing my walk, l stopped
under the locust trees, and gazing out
upon the hills beyond, tried to listen
to what the old family sentinels had
to tell me, and as listened, my shoul-
ders grew straighter, and my head
higher, and was glad-proud that l
had been born-a Kentuckian.
