I have been with yon in heart every week; and have longed so much to have a nice chat with you oftener—-but we are j imined off in such a little mite of a corner that I could scarcely get one eye in—let alone my big head and specs. I received by Saturday’s mail a large box containing a beautiful palmetto hat aud fan from two valued friends in Floral City, Flori da, Misses Eady and Craig—whose handiwork they were. They will be glad to receive orders from the readers of the Summy South. I was agreeably surprised to receive a notice of Hard Times and Chok Gazelle's marriage. Cbok Gazelle—the sweet little girl that used to take her hat, on a bright moon shiny night and walk along-sido of the banks of the river, thinking over her troubles and pleasures—is married. Instead of Chok Gazelle being a little girl in short dresses, he is a tall, hand some young man. He has done more than a majority of the young men would do, and that is to come out and have Hard Times stare him right in his face, the very day of bis marriage. Oh, well, I guess he is prepared for Hard Times and can stand it. 1 have an invitation to the marriage of another of my Letter Boxers. It is our Lone Star. She was married last week to a well-to- do young man. Dimple has also dt p tried,this world of single blessedness and taken to her self a great big fat man—to pet and make hap py for the remainder of their lives. To these I extend mycongratuiations and wish for each long and happy life. On Thursday, the lfflb, we had quite a pleas ant meeting of Letter Boxers at the conduct ors’ pic-nic at Spring Bank. Among those present were Ruby Lynn, Jolly Lassie, l’attie Lee and Jake, all from Ringgold. I wish 1 had the space to pay each a personal compli ment. Those from Atlanta were Monk, B ju nto Sweet Bessie, Calla Lily and Aunt Judy. We expected Red Head and Grey Eyes—but there wasn’t enough room on the train for them. By the way, 1 had tlie pleasure of meeting Grey Eyes, Bellum Wren and Left not long since. I woul l like, the best in the world, to compliment these boys, but you seo 1 didn’t say a single sweet thing about the girls I met. A few days ago 1 received a nice box of sweet wild flowers from Starling. Many thanks, dear girl. I assure you they were highly appreciated. I wouldn't object to being thought of real often in that way. Aud Spicy (bless her sweet little self!) sent me a nice chew of sweet-glim. 1 divided it into several good chews and it lasted me until my gums tired of it. I really enjoyed the treat.

It has been a long time since last I saw you; but, the truth is, I am so closely confined in the school-room, that I find it im possible to call ou you often. However, 1 lead every issue of the Sunny South. Some one spoke against the matrimonial column, and it made my heart glad. Col. Seals menus a kimlusss to ail no doubt. Yet 1 for ono, (please excuse me, Col. Seals, you are older than I,) heartily condemn it. Aunt Judy, does it not grieve you when you seo to what extent your boys aud girls indulge iu slang' For what purpose is our education, if it does not teach us to express our thoughts without recourse to slang. Take for instance, “dead gone,” and “mashed." Some one looks cross eyed at me and says: “Slang is so expres sive.’’ Yes, indeed it is; and expresses a great deal more than some of us would be willing to admit. Vp, . Surely our good English words can convey sufficiently well our thoughts! Oh, for a Luther to lead this reformation! Who will volunteer? Red Head, probably we are related as I am. Yes, I will tell; red headed. No my hair is not red, it is light. 1 would bo delighted to take a fox hunt with you, if you’ll invite me. It is one of many cherished hopes that some day I can go fox hunting. 1 caught one fox last summer, but he escaped. Dream, I think I did not receive your mes sage. B. S. B. is so busy I guess she forgot to deliver it. I lost one issue of the Sunny South, and in that issue must have been your allu sion to me, for I never did understand your mentioning me as being ‘ naughty.’’ Why not repeat what you said at first so that 1 wiil get the connection. Bonnie Sweet Bessie. I think we’ll have to fight a duel over that Wile Adams affair. Your private letter this morning was much enjoyed. Why does Priscilla think B. S. B. is going to Xorlhcrn town! I think she would prefer catching craw fish in her native State. Ca, how can she say she is not a Southern girl! Monk, you are as “fickle as you are fair.’’ Mis’ Sq, of Jefferson, Ga., do you see l>r. Smith often! Eugenia and Nellie of II—n, “Sawn which I’ll lay you right thar.” Since I was with you last I have “spread out my white wings’ and tlowu nearly two hundred miles from home, to return “when tlie roses bloom again.” I may come again soon.

Though I have been present at most of the gatherings 1 sometimes lose the connection. Has Monk slipped through that “gap” left open in the Matrimonial Column, and is he now enjoying tlie “sweet comfort and rest” of a sou) iu its earliest love? I should smile if he has, after ail he said, about tho Householders sprightlying up a little at “letting” tliat corner of thcir.domains for Cupid’s hunting grounds. I heard two of ’em talking about you Monk, for saying that, but they just laughed and said they reckon you were l’eck’s bad boy in disguise. Red Head, 1 think real red hair beautiful. You know old painters and poets too have ever favored auburn locks. I have always thought the lines: “Red stands for resolution’s grit, Was ever coward crowned by it? It is the torch that lights the way To leadership that wins the day,’’ were true. I envy you those horse-back rides, but I am by education and nature one of those “fearful clinging” kind, so have, so far, nearly missed all the pleasure of that healthful exer cise, but I have officiated in many a downfall, as most of my equistrian feats were in co operation with a small red pony, that knew all the gaits a pony is supposed to know, “bucked, jumped, kicked,” just as the occasion did not require. I go “on foot” these balmy days, for “ethereal mildness” has already began to de scend iu our sunny plains, aud many of the early flowers havo responded to the invitation to beautify and gladden the earth. Only one month of the twelve are there no flowers blooming in this State; but probably the “equal portion dealt to all mankind," gives others more clear days, for we do have rain, rain. In a late “Sunny” I noticed some one asking about the speech from which S. S.
