The only chance the road ! ever had Was when t?r?-enville g ive tin- eiish to pay its pressing debts and otleied ftMO.'HOj itiore to liuild it. That o!fer was rejected,and there has been no perceptahle vitality since, i The township snhscriptions do not amount to n row of pins.?UrrrnviUe .Xru*. Upon which we would remark that the' ??!?unersof the Enslry .Vc.*v/i?/ee is most ex-: traordinary In that the Cumberland (Jap peo-j ] le of Kasley should float over the fact that j they had "tone Into the very pockets of the! hold editor * * * and captured five per ; 4-ent. of his taxable property."' Without i Viuestioning the morality of the act of "going ' Into our pockets" by force and abstracting therefrom "live percent, of our taxable prop-! eity'' for the use of their favorite railroad, the uii blush ins; cllroutery of the Entity Messenger in boasting of theact isas unprecedented as it is ungracious. If we understand tho tone of our people,! there are certainly a few of the advocates of the "suing Into our pockets" for ";lve per, re it. of our taxable property," who reeog- I jii/.ed our right to protest against the ajrt, and | who also had at least some qualms of con-j ivicnce hi taking the citizen's property from ! )i(m that they might give it to a railroad cor" ]-oration, but no man In this town, so far as we j are informed, has, since theVlection, boasted ' of the act. Neither has any one held up to! ?iie initializing page of ttic injured citizen the; Inoiwjy, which they in their might had "gone into our pockets" to get. It remains for the JCaxlcy Messenger to do this. No man in Abl>evjl!c lias done it, ii??r lias any nntu here, ?-o far forgotten his self respect us to glory in i the fa-H that tie had "gone Into anybody's j-ockets" for the money which did not belong, to him. The IC'tslvy Mcsscn;jcr might have saved Its manners. The act of going into a country | editor's pocket for "Ave per cent, of Ills taxa-1 \ile property" will not build ninch of n railroad, ami even if it did, the railroad would he i nlmost without customers. A gentleman in j railroad circles Is quolcd as liaving said. il l the AI ken, Abbeville, and Easley road was finished, that the "iron rails would rust, and t the weeds would grow on the track." Hut It] ?vas useless to say Ibis, as the building of the j Voad Is, we think, a practicable impossibility. I Jlesides, it is a ro.ul for which there Is no I varth'y use, and il Is one Into which no capitalist has been Induced to put a dollar of hi* money, although a "hopeful" agent, with hat Jn hand, has been at their very doors importuning them to do so for years. The great Carolina, Cumberland (J ip and Chicago Hallroad is a grc.it myth, and time will prove the correctness of the assertion, unless perchance li should bcome an actuul calamity to our people and to our town, bringing with it an vnormous debt, whose very presence would j liang 'ike a pall over our commercial prosperiiy, and whose annual interest would net like I ^ n consuming element In the deprivation ol j <-ur people of the homes which they have I either inherited or earned by honest toil. Is Mich a ttato of affairs a proper subject overj which the Easlcy Messenger may gloat? Although it may have been Indiscreet In usi to say po at the time of its publication, yet j our "Monument," so far as the legend there, on Is concerned, was not an error. Time will prove Its correctness, even though the Etutlry Messenger may go "down into our very pockets" to "get five per cent, of our taxable property." Tno building of that road is one of the?if not Impossible-Improbable events, jmki the ?o>mer the oircnsl ve old corpse Is burled out of sight, tLc hotter It will be for nil yoncorned. Tho enthusiasts of E:wlcy on the subject ol building the Carolina, Cumberland <Jnp and Chicago Kail road may laugh ;iOW( and hold up to our tantalizing gago the live per cent." of our property for which they went '"into our very pockets' to get, hut |, vrc would remind the Ewlcy Messenger of the! ?dage that "lie who laughs last, laughs best.' j Our own people seem to prefer t'? forget the' contest In which we were so lately engaged,!' but the frsutcy Messenger would in an ill man- j i.ered way keep up strife between the citizens j -of small communities who should live in : ?? .peace and harmony with each other.

For months tho papers have contained much uhout the distinguished ! | soldier, and the prospect now of getting a rest j ft on the matter of lulsome praise to a relentless & foe Is gratifying. When Lee, the greatest and B best of all the (ieneraU, died, a simple paiugraph noted tho fuet, which we believe found J HSb Its way into a majority of ttie Southern paJHV l>crs. Hut, now, when Grant dies our lending j dailies vie with their Northern conlempora I*" ries in givinsr prai.se to tlio man who mien the South fur eight years with the bayonet, | jtnd who kept the (ioverninent in tlie hands of Southern negroes, that they might run rh?t over the owner* of the soil. We are inclined to believe that the excessive praise of . {{rant, iike our protestation ol anxiety for) Aitcgro education, merely a make-believe. We ^mwoiiM not deny any meed of pral.-e which i ^^jnay be due to (irant for hi.s magnanimity at.

It has bcv:i tlint "Iroubles never pome alone, but in bat tal tons,"and I he nil;<se Is verified in the c??e of our venerable amt venerated townsman, Mr. Jtobt. H. Ward law. Itesidrs tbe many recent aftlicltons which have befallen that household anil which have been noted in these col limits the death of bis jounnest sou Charlie Ward law must now be nilded, Ihedeatli occurring most unexpectedly and under the most painful circumstances. Charlie Wa rdtuH- was a flue type of manhood and except f??r some slight physical derangeincut, was iu |<erfcet health, f"ll of hope and eiieigy, uttd In the possession r>f tIkj confidence and good will of nil mankind, which together with the enjoyment of the love and deVolion of a n<A>le young wift>, made life's Journey pleasant, and worth much to him ?l?? to mate n>r WIIUIII lie uriu. ill midst of such surroundings, ami In tlie sirenjitli of it noble manhood, he lay down upon the surgwn's table In ihc New York City Hospital at ten o'clock on Mouilay tiioru-: (at:, August :t, JSRV, liiat ho might undergo a J surgical operation which he was assured most positively was attended with little danger. An acsthcllc was given, the operation was j performed, and it is said that reaction soon set in, and a telegram in tlio evening was j sent to lits wife informing her of these facts ' and also assuring her that all was we'd with | him. In the night time it was discovered lhal Charlie was sinking, hut beyond this we have no information that any cilorl was1 made by one to stay the approach of Ocalh. About day light, a telegram was sent to his wife and almost immediately sifter the first] dispatch a second message was sent lo her In ! Brooklyn informing her of the perilous condition of her husband. Willi all possible haste she hurried to where her husband lay. and upon her arrival at the hospital the nn. welcome words of the surgeon greeted her ears in the most unfeeling manner, which informed her I hat her worst feirs had been realized? that her husband had been diad fo for an liuor. Charlie Wardlaw was widely known and grealy be oved. The grcitest rcspcct was shown to his memo y. not only in New York, j where he lived, but in the towns along the route through which his body wasbrouglvt home. About three hundred of his fellow i einployws In the liouse wlierc Chnrile did j business met soon ; Iter his death to pay ? suitable tribute to the memory of their deceased friend, and among other kindly sent I- j mcnis, one of tits employers expressed the hope ttiat eacii and all of them might emulate in every way tlie good example which was afforded In the life and work of Charlie Wardlnw. A beautiful and elaborately prepared broken shaft of flowers was presented by the employees of the llrtn of Messrs. Tluirbey, Whylund & Co., which was brought home and placed over the grave, in Upper T.oug Cane grave yard, that holds the body of the noble, generous, and cheerful Charlie Wardlaw. While tho people in various towns did honor to him as his body was on the Journey home, the attention of citizens in Greenville was especially consoling to those in charge of his remains. On the arrival of the train at Abbeville a great concourse ot people met the body of Charlie Wardlaw and cscorted it to the Presbyterian church in this village, where the Itev. W. K. IVarson delivered an appropriate and feeling funeral sermon to an immense gathering of people who had assembled to pay a tribute to liis memory. "A Rail Boy, ami a 1'rene li or "h .Son. too.*' Yes, if the !? ?> should |>r >w a little n i!?l ami depart fr-ia the rlfrlil way. Ilie world. in commenting on his wild deeds, in-ver'forsets to add?' and h<* is a minister's miii, too." Rut it the sJ'n ?f? physician or a lawv.-r or an editor goes n?tray no one ever thinks ot as.odathi:; the hoy's citnlurt with his father's profes Moll, llut is ilie current idea that ministers' sons generally turn out badly an iiitell-gwit one J Is it founded on tact J is it not admitted lie all familiar with thf statistics of tl e d. gieal education that the ranks ot the tain- j I-try are more largely recruited from the tamilies of clergymen th in from nay oilier class of professional It may he replied that snrh would nnturallv lip exp-ct'd. Tiio jiMfessioa or lni>ine*s of tfie father iilUiht to revert to the sop. Hut does not the fact that so many ministers nre the liueal descendants of men who bnVc been for generations deTOted ti? the gospel ministry explode the old i 'ea that preachers' son* generally turn out badly?

We agree with the Presbyterian when It says that the "ranks of the ministry arc more "largely recruited from the families of clergy-j "men than fr<im any other class of professlon"?1 men," ami this from the fact that "the "profession or business of the father .ought to "revert to the son," and d<xs very often do so. For proof this look nt the youthful printers of the State who arc now succeeding their fathers as editors, or look for a moment to the eminent lawyers, or, for this matter, to the sons of the men In any other profession. They often succeed their father." We take no stock in the idea that the sons of preachers are either any better or worse than the sons of other men. The sens of men In any one of the honorable callings aro as good as Hie soons of men in any other honorable calilnu'. It is, primarily, the Infant's inheritance of giMid principle* and the sul>*e(iuent training and care of the child, that developes in him the character of the good man. We have no sympathy with the idea that the Lord calls one man to preach the gospel while he directs another to go to ditching. Vhe Lord is no rcspccter of persons, anil he shows no partiality to any of his sans In chosing easy places for one, while ho assigns ihard place to another. Whether a boy Is a preacher, a lawyer, a doctor, an editor, a farmer, a railroad man, or anything else, Is more dcucudcnt upon circumstances and the cvlll of tho parent than anything else. For Instance, If a boy Is put nt tho printing business, lie is in after years more likely to bo[ otne an editor than !:o is to become n lawyer. And so with the other professions. If the parents will it, they can often turn the child's Attention to any one of the professions, and the probability is, that he will gravitate that ivay. We regard the assertion that the I.ord falls any individual man to preach his gospel, while others are allowed to go to grass, is the utterance of ignorance or as an appeal to our credulity. Why should any particular son become the special favorite of the Lord, that he should pick him out from the rest, and put him to work in his own vineyard. Let us have no moreerror in rel'crrnco to preacher' sons being any better j i?r any worse than any other body's sons, i and let us hear no mote of the superstition that the I.ord calls any particular favorite to the pulpit. Ho wants volunteers to Jo his work. He drafts nobody to servo in his vineyard. Pension* for Soldier*. Wensk attention to an editorial from the Cumden Jourirtl on the subject of 'Tensioning ] Disabled Soldiers and tho Widows of the I?ead Ones." As long as.South Carolina annually squanders a quarter of a million of dollars on negro education and refuses to give a cent to disable J soldiers, their widows and orphans, we have reason to blush. The negro has never failed to swear tor the Radicals and has never refused to testify against us. lie has never shown the least sign of gratitude in j a single instance for the money which we are j expending on him, but still, for some mystc- ] ilous reason unknown to us, patriotic mid I loyal South Carolinians seem to prefer to give! their money to the education of an alien race,j than to contribute something for the support of our crippled soldiers. Little did these pa. I triotic soldiers, when tluy enlisted, dream that they would be neglected that we might j show greater love for free nrgroen. Is It true j that the patriotic citizen is more anxious to: teach the negro how to read than he is to see j that maimed soldiers nro fed and clothed? j Men and brethren, is this state of affairs to: last forever? Shall wo forever truckle to the ( n*gro, that we may please the North, wlille we show base ingratitude by the neglect of our own disabled soldiers? Must we let poor Confederate soldiers starve in orde r that we may have money to spend In tbe education of the everlasting negro? For our own part, we think it time to let the negro have a fair chanee in the pursuit of life, liberty, and property, including the right to educate tiis own children, without being a j Dumen io ins wiiue neignoors wim niivu, enough to do to educate their own clilldrcn.; Does nny man oelieve the true Southerner j utters the truth when he cays he would prefer to educate negroes rather than to pension disabled Confederate soldiers. What Are Promises Worlli? i During the campaign for taxing the people I for the benefit of an aliened railroad from Aiken to Abbeville, the air was full of prom'1 ises ready to meet every conceivable objection to the taxation ot our people, and among oth-1 ers was the following promise by General Hagood, President of the Company in his letter to I'r. Widenian, under date of April IT, ls<.*>: In behalf of the Hallway Company I propos.? as President tu execute ami II e in r ich County at ttnec sueli contract or ?l her paper n will iis-umt* the fnl-j ti.l:ii--at of those condition!) in ffuoil faith." Although this promise was 110 doubt one of the Inducements to catch wavering votes, yet no compliance with that promise has been made at the ollloo of the Clerk oft lie j Court in Abbeville County. We presume that no man at Abbeville at that time ever doubted the sincerity ol General llagood's purpose in making that promise, and we are sure that no man ever doubted tbat he would comply with that promise. For these rca sons wo think it Is now duo to himself utul to us, tlnit he "execute and tile" the promise which was made in writing. In Abbeville, as in Aiken, nearly all of tlie promises to the voter, wo believe, were verbal prow. l*es l>y unauthorized friends of the enterprise, but this of General Itagood's was put in willing by the President of the Company. I.et President Hagood '"execute and file" that paper, or let him Kive some reason for Ins utter and absolute failure to do what ho promised. Jt he chooses to do so ho could make the terms of "such contract'' vague and indefinite, somewhat after tiio manner of official reports, or of statements to newspaper reporters, to that they need not really bind the cMnpany. Such a paper, even if it hi'd no binding iorce, would be somewhat satisfying to ihe people, inasmuch as it iai^lit fur.ii li another specimen of literary work, tin- meaning of which no fellow could liud cat, The IjniiretiM A<lxertlser.

The Adrrrtisfr receives | a hearty welcome into the editorial fraternM ty, and we hojiC that the editor will hid adieu I to all ideas of popularity orollleeal the hands j of the people. It is hard for tin editor to do j nis whole duty, if lie Is conscious of injuring! his popularity with a few voters, who may l<? lliii. iti.n n ivltti.trnu-iil ??f Hn.Ir support. Wc believe that 110 place is lii^licr;51 or more honorable than tliat of editor, though : \ many positions of honor reward I lie occupant' c with greater pay.

Failing to do this, the negro left i " and went to a neighbor's house. Some persons fol-1 lowed him an lshot him as lie was running from the ; " house. These were white men that did the shooting. I , In all these deed" of Mood there is not one-fonrtu of " the white men of the State that sympathize with those j who commit the deeds. We bi liew the reason that such a state of affairs I' J prevails Is because a 1 our pi ne- officers, from tlfOov- i ernor down to the constable, tire afraid to use all the! . means in their power to repress such crlmc-s and pun- J " Ish tin" criminal. A vigorous administration of law ] ts needed. Tho strong arm of tin- 2 vernment <<I1011J<I > be brought down on evil doers. Not ago, 11 most j M respectful petition, signed by many Itizt ns in a certuin county, was sent to Governor Thompson, giving j ,sl ia detail several instances ?f oppression ami crime, 1 and showing that the arm of the law was piraUzed. j'' These poor people, citiz-nsof our Slate, wero living ; in terror, and this vwv terror may have caused them i 01 to t x iggerate the eviits inflicted. But the petition | was enough to cause the Governor to diligently in-j 1' to the matter, and that at once, anil he may have done j it, for though exceedingly cautious, he is not the man > I? to shirk duty when lie his made up his mind what '} ought to be done. When a state of lawlessness pre-j vails and a c-'itnin class of citizens feel that they sre I' in constant jeopardy, it is the duty of the Governor ! to make immediate and thorough Investigation, lie C should not wait until the Legislature tne? ts, or refer. I" tho matter to the Kheiitf of the county, or the judge | of the circuit, but lie should net ut once and tint vig P orously. Governor Thompson may be doing tills, for I he knows his duty. It is a matter that till g-od citi- 1 / ns are interested in. because the honor and dignity! of the State are at stake. Cl AN EXAMPLE FOR ABBEVILLE.

It should not lie supposed that the Devil has any special .?pite ni'tdnst any of the human family excepting those who ft: e I ho "ft lends of God."' The Devil hates God and every human being according r.s that j bein^ i> uio"e or less like Gni, Tliese the Devil can-1 not make siek unless they violate the | hvsica! ot mor al laws of God; and even then Satan should not be el.awd with their sickln us, for they are hut suffering divinely-ordained consequences of ti ansgression of law, either by themselves or by their proxlmato or remote ancestors.

And if in their sickness they would turn and seek pardon at the hands of God, then the Devil would prefer that such rhould die r-ither than they t>h<ni]il be reconciled to God and become follows of Jesus, the Devil's baled Conuuerer and Master. The sum: We believe the Devil has nothing to do III making people sick except as they tret sick from serving him. in which ease he tempts them to charge th'.ir sieness to "l'rovidence."

The second class passenger coach turned' over twice, breaking down me telegraph wises 1 and winding them around them without breaking them or preventing communication j over them. The first class coach, Immediate-! ly behind, was thrown fifteen or twenty feet from the track and fell on its f-ide. The force! of its (light down the bank Is Illustrated by the fact that its-truck a telegraph pole and cut] It. In two socleatily that the remaining upper part, of il fell squarely through one of the car j windows In an upright position, and remained so, KiipiMirllng Its wires as u*u;d. There were six or eight persons In the second class conch, including Conductor J. J. Hansom. He sprang to liis feet as some motion of the ear to him something was wrong ami reached for the bell cord, but before he could grasp it the ear was flying through space, and quicker than thought It had turned over twice and was lying at the hut loin of the embankment, a shapeless mass of glass and splinters. In I lie first .class coach the passengers,about twelve in number, felt a tremendous wrenching nnd twisting which tried every Joint of the wood work, and before they knew what was happening they were plied up against ihe side on which'the coach rested. The Pullmans had not cleared the cut at the time, and therefore fell against the bank which Impeded their progress and prevented 11ivm from stilling against the rear of the first class coach. The rear l'lillinnn ran into the other, however, and broke iis end badiy. Almost before the noise of the grout crash had ceased, some of the passengers had scrambled out, and little time was lust In ascot tainlug the damage and casualties. Everybody in ttie two passenger couches was hurt, but it was soon found that the only persons very seriously injured .were Conductor Hansom and an unknown colored man who lived at Welford and whose name could not bo obtained. It Is thought that ho was employed by the railroad company In some department. Dr. Ulnek, of Wei ford, was sent for nnd quickly reached the scene of I lie wreck, and after the Immediate wants of the passengers had been attended to they were conveyed to Welford. Subsequently l)r. Martin nnd Dr. Moore arrlved and assisted. The physicians united In the opinion that Mr. Uansom was fatally hurt, and beseemed to believe it himself. Ho talked with friends for a time and expressed tlie opinion that ho would never recover from his injuries. Ills back scorned lobe broken, nnd he was otherwise hurt about the head. lie was noon put under Lhe Influence of opiates lo relieve his sntterings, nr.d subsequent!}' lie began to sink, Ho never rallied and at 0 o'clock In the afternoon ho?dicd.

S!ie w;isone ol the coolest oi the passengers and gave Invaluable assistance in caring for the wounded and aiditin others, her courage and self possession being equal to that of the bravest man. The (rouble is supposed lo have resulted from the spreading of (lie rails on the curve. The engineer of lite wrecked train says It has always been flIs habit to look hack when running over the double curve. He did so yesterday and saw the second clttss coach as It left the track. lie says It reared upaluioston one end before it turned over. Mr. Random was about 42 years old, and leaves a wife and four chlldien. lie lived In Atlanta. He hail been a railroad man for many years, and had been running on the Air j Line six or eight years.

A Jolly Party that Have a Me^lry ? Time? Graphic Description of their Rambles Over the ^fountain*. ?j Hendeiisonvn.r.e, K. C., July, 18f5. 15 Editor Ptcm and Manner: ti We wore iv Jolly party Hint started out on ir Saturday morning to visit the mountain A called "Hebron." There were nine of u?, all X! told, consisting of three fair daughters of r< oreenwoou, one ironi;iuc uoijjiiiioriioou or o Charlotte and one who lives in tills pretty b town of Hendersonvllle. Of gentlemen there were four, two of whom came from Columbia, V one Irom the city of Greenville, wlillo the cl la?t was an artist who spends his summer* in p Hits town trying to accommodatc the'tunny visitors with souvenirs of the mountaius to E carry home to their friends. * w We left town In the cool of the morninir, and were soon boomingalong the picturesque J road which led to our destination, sinking w snatches of songs and laughing us heartily ei ns a crowd of school children out on a half- t< holiday. In the midst of our glee we were tl startled by a snapping sound and sudden halt, and to our dismay found one of our s< horses had given nn Unexpected start and e broken the double-tree. The examinations si and suggestions which: csmio from different ino.nbers of our parly did not in any way t< disconcert our driver, who only asked for Ave ti minutes to remedy the evil. It whs with ci ureal interest, we watched him as he cut a. few si snpplmgs from the roadside and twisted lliem d into ropes, and cutting a stout piece of oak r< he bound It (irmly across thchroken tree,and v In a short while lie had spliced the break and o made it as strong as the most timid eottld a wish. \Y"u wore soon otr again, and ilie 8 glimpses we caught of tlie lovely scencry disperiod so slight an accidcnt from our minds n and wo igaln made the woods ring with our " songs. At one bend of the road we were attrae-tcd by n lK)nrd upon which was painted, 01 "Olenn Hock," and as one of the party sug- " gested a halt, to examine tlio place we all J' alighted. Only llioso who have visited this ? spot couid conceive nn ideal of its beauty, so * I will not atte-mpt a description. The party were soon seated nround what proved P to oca spring, though one would hardly take c it to bo anything but a basin hollowed out of ? ii rock with a little mud in tlio bottom, so w perfectly clear wan Uio water with which It H was filled. *] While we rested In this beautiful bower or cove, with which nature had provided us, our ? artist quietly unpacked his camera, etc.-, and * proposed making; a picture. The parly were ? subjected to the painful ordeal of sitting still for only a few seconds, and then with one " I list look ill this pretty spot we again started 8' on our way. Oniy those who have travelled n these mountain road* and witnessed the mauy changes and variety of scenery, as one b gradually ascends one mountain after anoth- " er, winding around the base of ouo, hut grad- Jj ually getting higher and higher, can apore- J elate the etl'ect it has upon one. Were J of a poetical turn ol mind, I could dilate upon the grandeur and sublimity ot the mouu- * twins and gorges, but as my business Is more* c ly to detail what occurred during our trip, I ' will leave you to Imagine the rest. . Our next stoppage was at tlie gate which 53 was opened by the proprietor of the tower at H the Mount Hebron. This specimen of hu- J* m unity remind.d ine very forclby of Kip Van 11 Winkle alter his long sleep. Alter passing through the gates where we e bad to pay toil, we followed the road which P wound around the brow of the mountain to ? the foot of the tower. While soinn ascended this 09 feet of w.ood work, others amused themselves by talking to old Hip, who Is 1 slightly hard of hearing, and a trltle eccentric and loud of good company. Our artist. Intent upon photographing the magnificent scenery which lay strclchcd out In all dlrec lions, was loo busy to follow the example set ^ him by some members of the party who wero evidently Intent upon "mashing." One young gen I Ionian seemed very uneasy, having on the road met with a slight aecldcnt which necessitated his wearing a linen duster at I the rest of the day, and which caused him to shun tlie society of the ladies. I wus at u loss to account for his conduct, as lie was one of the liveliest nt the start, and a regular masher; thefore I supposed naturally enough that he would have accompanied the ladles on thdf "-ambit?} Instead of which he contented himself with iv game of cards, and the use of the poweriul telescope with which we were enabled to inspect more closely the objects of interest. The tower on Echo Mountain which Btood between nsnnd town we could almost climb, so close did 11 appear, while I heard one remark llml he could sec a man plowing the other side of the French Broad Valley. Hog Back and other mountains, situated somewhere In South Carolina were plainly seen, and our view was only bounded by the Blue Kldge. The mountains beyond the French Broad Valley were enveloped In clouds which presented u very imposing appearance, and made us all fear the approach of ruin. So much so that we hastened to tlie foot of the tower, and while some retreated td the house hard by, others ensconced themselves under the staircase of the tower, wl:h the provisions, coats, ru<js, ete. But to our Joy the rain passed off In juiotfccr direction, and we all assembled and ate our dinner in true picnic stylo. Delicious milk was furnished Irotn the spring house, and some of the ladles enjoyed a cup of coffee which the daughter ot old Ivlp kindly prepared for|tlieni. After the heavy rain cloud had passed off we again ascended the tower and were rewarded by the grandeur of the soene. Tne ilaht and shade upon the landscape, the variety of the foliage, and the beautiful clouds with Which the sky was bedecked; One might well call it the land of Die sky, for to those who have any lovo for the sublime there was indeed a land where one could travel for.' hours and dwell in the grandest places, nnd witness the most beautiful effects of litfht and shade and never tire. In this cnii*l>U to my imagination, one of tl?e ' greatest charms of mountain sc?ner.?; In H few hours j ou can see a mountain change Its appearance several tlines, so much so that you can fancy you are looking upon an entirely different sccue. Sunlight and cloud seem to play upon the earth nnd produce the strangest phenomenon. Oil ottr right a dlffl?int valley was covered In golden sunshine, as was also the mountain upon which we were silting; while between these two bright places was a mountain wrapped In shadow, making the foliage with which it was covered almost black. I fancy it must have been some such scene as this which tnoved the poet who wrote the lines: utl..., tl.nr. I.,...- ..,.1 ' Lie so closely side by sidi." ' Put I must lcavo my nlry similes, ns we very soon did Mt. Hebron. We had deter- , miiiccl to return by the old toad, which was i more direct, though steeper; hnvlng come by the new one, which Is a delightful drive. b<-* \ 1 ne graded to so gradual u rise that. It is plcasnnt in ascending the mountain. We halted in front of tho house where our nrtlst snatched another pleture. We then passed on lo the gate where old Rip awaited us. anxious to show us "a plctur." It was a print of the building at the New Orleans Kxposlticn, and it amused us immeasurably to see the pride with which lie held it out for our Inspection. Bidding 1 lie old gentleman goodbye we started down the hill, and had barely readied the bottom when the driver pulled suddenly up. which caused Hie second vehicle to nearly run over us. putting the two ladles in the rear seat in a perfect state of agitation, requiring an exchange of seats. They did not fancy there was room for two horses in their seat. Luckily no further harm was done, and n? the clouds were gathering up and looking very much ns II they were sorry we should esc ipe a slight sprinkling. We let the horses travel,briskly homeward. The old road was full of Interest to us. abounding In picturesque crooks and turns, and we journeyed home as Joyously as we went. Itut our sprinkling awaited us, and we had to resort to the protection of overcoats, umbrellas, etc., when we were within a mile and a half ot town. Sti'l we wero not visited heavily, and landed at our door at four o'clock, when all agreed that they had spent a most enjoyable day. I would advise all those who wish to enjoy themselves to organize a party and go to Moui.t Hebron. "LONlJUX." #The Popular Creed. Di'iics and dollars! dollars and diino!
