on the mountains and mountain sides,
along the splendid highways, mean
dering along the mountain trails
well, there is that connected with it
which inspires.
The moonlight is a sort of molten
thing that seems to have been melted
| and poured over the earth. It Sits
through the trees, and settles about
the earth as gently as the twilight falls
at evening, but with a subtler touch.
The shadows along the roads, n In
the woods, seem more freakish, moro
mysterious. The fields do not appear
the same as at any other. time. The
forms appear exaggerated, or unnat-
ural. Even the sounds are not the
same after they have .vibrated through
the night when the moon is shining.
And then, whether sailing unob-
structed through the heavens or splat-
tered with sweeping clouds, the moon
itself attracts, your attention. You
cannot help looking at it-and won
dering. OF course you know all
about it; you have read in the books
it's character and its characteristics.
But you wonder just the same wheth-
er it is all true-whether it is a cold
and barren world, dead and forgotten
by it's maker, Or whether there are
upon it happy men and women as
those who gaze upon it from the beau
tiful lawn of the Carolina Terrace;
Or whether it shines elsewhere with
the brightness and glory as upon Hen
Jacksonville. The astronomers have
told you things concerning 1t, and
made it plain TO you that 1t is unin-
habited, but someway you doubt; aye,
you have your own opinions. And as
you stroll through the light reflected
upon our own earth. you can but won
der what the folks are doing now up
there-upon their moon which seems
So warm and cheerful-whether it is
really true there is ga man in the
moon"-one lonesome man. What a
lonesome time he must have. Bat
what a sight of things he must see.
But the moonlight nights at Hender-
~sonville! That's the thing! What
boots it whether the wise ones know OF
have guessed? 1t is here-the moon
light; mellow and subdued, and
cheerful. There are the shadowy for
nations, the forms and features no.
where else to be observed. There are
the grandeur of the mountains on all
sides; the stiffness of the night and
the mysteries of the universe-the
stars twinkling at you in their efforts
to secure your attention-in cOmpe-
tition with the holder H~endersonville

of North Carolina. and see these
