Dvlng. solitary blossom,
Once tbe pr.de of all tbe vale.
Now your fragments all are scattered
By tbe ruthless northern gale.
The same remorseless scyth reaps us;
To tbe same God we yield at last;
Tby lovely leaves abandon thee,—
Our dearest pleasures soon are past.

8ome cherished taste, some fond desire:
And, as each moment wings Its flight,
It takes with it youth’s hope and fire.

We sadly ask ourselves each hour:
“Which Is more quickly passed away,

Two Grand Occasions.
Dear Letter Boxers:
Oh, by night a flaming beacon, and a silvery cloud
by day,
Will the memory cf those faces go before me all the
way;
Evermore the world Is holy, and the radiance which
they fling,
Still bapt’zes with Its glory every baser, meaner
thing.”
I had chosen another subject for this, my third
letter to our much loved Box, but some recent cir
cumstances have caused me to follow In spirit the
injunction of 8bakspeare<f “When thou haply seest
some rare, note worthy object in thy travels, make
me partaker of thy happiness.” Travels! says some
one. How have you, a bed-ridden invalid, been trav
eling? Well, listen. On Thursday, May 3rd., the
Central Sunday school of Atlanta, agaiD picniced at
Powder 8prtngs. And, true to the same warm,
sympathizing hearts which caused them to picnic
here on my account last year, several of the breth
ren came up to my room, and placing me on a cot,
carried me on their shoulders to the beautiful
grounds surrounding the springs. What a «cene!
How I wish every one of you, with Aunt Judy to
lead, could have been there! The day was one of
auimatirg brightness; hardly a ciocd ohseured the
clear blue sky—the birds flitted through the balmy
bre» ze and poured forth their melodious roundelays
with exhiieratlng sweetness, while the sun shone
with t ffalgent splendor frt m tbe smiling heavens
o’erbead, and everything in Nature seemed to wear
an unsullied cloak of that purity so emblematic of
the beneficent Creator. I was placed beneath some
huge trees’ ample shade, where, surrounded by
many bright faces, and fanned by the vernal breeze,
I could lie and watch with eager interest both old
and young at their playfulness; or see, perhaps, on
some far-off rustic seat, a young man and maiden,
who, as they sat happy in each other’s society, re
minded me of days of yore, when, on the self same
ground, I too, yielded to the magic spell produced
by two bright eyes, and almost soared away on the
wings of bliss. It was my pleasure to meet on that
most pleasurable occasion, the following kind and
clever Letter Box cousins: Merle, Monk, Themis,
Cricket of old, and last but not least. Pearl. 8be It
was, you’ll remember cousins, to whom in ray last,
alloding to the kiss claimed to have been imprinted
on my fair (?) brow, I spake on this wise: Some
how, i do not exactly remember about it, but let me
whisper, it you’ll Ju9t come back and repeat it, while
down life’s dark vale I wander it shall never be for
gotten, but fondly cherished, not as the last rose of
summer, but as the first flower cf spring, shedding
its delicate fragrance backward o’er me as the
mighty years rolbon. Ah. me! did I hope that these
would be more than idle, L uitless words? Charita
ble, compassionate little being! I was just prepar
ing to remind her of her momentous words, when,
Like a sister kind and true,
Who, for one long year had missed me,
She bravely stepped before them all.
And gently bowed her head and— kissed me.
8he did not laugh as if she had done something
funny, or blush as If ashamed, but performed tbe
gracious act with such an air of complacency, inno
cent simplicity, tender gentleness and sweet com
passion, as if her heart had been touched by the
poor boy’s sad condition, and she must express her
sympatty in that “cousinly way.” “Now, surely
that couldn’t be wrong.”
After I had been served from different baskets
with a most sumptuous and delicious pic-nic dinner,
quite a number of kind friends gathered about my
couch and sang lor me some thrilling Sunday school
songs, led by Merle Monte, and ber father, land oh.
her voice as she sang, “It is well with my soul,” I
can almost hear it still. Did sage e’er conceive or
poet pen, grander, more beautiful, more comforting
words ?
“When peace like a river attendeth my way,
Or sorrows like sea billows roll—
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say
It is well—it is well with my soul.”
Yes, precious Jesus, in mirth’s glad hour, and in
sorrow’s dark night, thou hast not only taught me
but helped me to say “It is wen with mv soul.”
There are some “hours too pure to last;” a short
season of syeet conversation with pretty lit
tle browr-eyed Gilo, Pearl (Indescribable) snd
many others at whose hands I had been the
happy recipient of much thoughtful attention,
and the parting hour came. Then with my heart
welling up with appreciation which I could not ex
press, the sad, sffectionate good bye was given, and
one of the grandest days of my life was done; a day,
the sweet recollection of which will go with me for
ever and for aye.
There recently came another day, an account of
which, should I fail to give, I feel that I would be
unjust, both to yon and to those who made it for me,
other than an ordinary day. On Saturday, May 26tb,
there was a mamoth picnie at Powder Springs, from
Atlanta; but there was a special crowd who came
out to see consln Bertram; rfonnie Sweet Bessie and
fifteen or twenty of her lriends, among whom was
our genial, grin—no—smiling Monk. As I was
afraid to risk going to tbe grounds, they were good
enough—bless their hearts—to come up and eat din
ner under the cedars in our yard. By gallant young
men, I was borne oat among them, where I partook
of a dinner which, while It lacked the pheasants
tongues, was good enough for any klog, and far
bettt r than many deserve. Afrer dinner Miss An
nie Bradly, yielded to earnest solicitation, and gave
two spicy recitations which were most excellently
rendered. Then, several hours—so short, we spent,
In pleasant words and sweetest song. Some were
sacred—some were funny—some were short and
none were long.
Indeed, notmng seemed long; the whole after
noon ; which seemed too good for me, spr d by almost
like a passing dream. I wish I were able (mentally
and physicallj) to give In thrilling detail, a story of
its happenings. But soon too soon, there came a
time wnen I felt like singing or sighing rather. “Oh
how sad to part with loved ones whom duty calls
away,” it was another time to say “good-bye;” it
was another time when I could net express what I
felt, for somehow within my bosom tbe prisoned
w^rds stuck tight.
Yeuus, by a much regreted ‘pass,’ I did not tell
you in a previous letter how glad we are that you
have moved Dearer us; but guess it wont be much
pood if you always stay at home. Cousins, if Aunt
Judy bad not forbidden our passing compliments, I
would tell yen that Venus is one of the most beauti
ful girls ‘mine eyes ever beheld, and Monk will bear
me out In this statement, though not in the pres
ence of Miss Minnie, e/i?”
Left, did you not enjoy the Cave Springs picnic
as you stood on the bridge, and g? zed—not so much
at the ebbing tide, but cousin B’s. dark eyes—oh I
should I have said it? Fairy Queen, the poem you
sent me, was so good and comiortlng. I thank you
eariu stly for bothering to copy it for me. The poem.
The Sunnv South,” “The Greatest Battle,” and
Is Aught Needed” were especially good.
To Griselda. Oufe and Patsy, Bridget, Cecil,
Dream, Anna Greer, Little Miss. Beryl, Peralta, and
brown-eyed Lucille, (1 hope I have omitted none,) I
effer my thanks for woids of kindness. And to all
tbe new ones, I extend a hearty welcome. I hope
to mention every one, but space will not allow. Just
come again please, without a second invitation. I
nave received private letters from a young lady at
Watbinsvllle, Ga.. who Is herself an invalid, and
Bridget, Red Head, Pearl, Fairy Q :een, Cecil and
Dream. They were all so nice, auu seemed written
with such anxiety to comfort and interest me I How
can I thank you enough for them? if I do not re
spond. remember my feeble condition alone prevents
me. For weeks past my room has been often L den
with tne fragrance of choice flowers, accompanied
too, by other Soring delicacies, sent me by good and
tbonehtfnl friends. You cannot know how cheeriDg
to me are such marks of kindness as this, and the
attention given me by 8. S. friends through their let
ters and otherwise, unless you were similarly cir
cumstanced.
Such sweet tokens of kindly thought, showered
upon me by so maDy, knowD and unknown, tend to
soften my accustomed bed, and make as down, my
pillow. Hnrnbly and affectionately.

CHESS NOTES.
Touching the supposed Boston Young Gambit
about which much is being said, Mr W J Ferris. New
Castle. Del., writes U6: “Are you going to go back on
Bro Orchard in this way? The ‘Young’ Gambit!
u hat ha.s become of the celebrated ‘Palmetto:’ 1 P—
K 4. P-K 4. 2. P- K B 4, PxP. 3. P- K 8 3? Mr Or
chard experimented with this five < r six years ago.’*
Mr Miller states in the Americrn edition of Cook’s
Synopsis that he had requested Mr Orchard to fur
nish an analysis of this line of play, but Mr Orchard’s
engragements did not permit him to comply. The
following (condensed) appeared in the Glasgow Her
ald some years since: “The Philade!phia Times gives
this specimen of a newly invented gambit: ’The fol
lowing unique specimen of Southern ch«ss illustrates

the ‘Palmetto Gambit’ in horor of his native state.

Hensing’s notes: “The British Chess Club Handi
cap Tourney promises to be a great success. There
are already a large number of entries, including
Messrs Bird. Blackburne. Gun&berg, Mason, Pollock,
Zukertort. The Counties Chess Association has dis
solved in consequence of the retirement of the Rev
A B 8kipw«rth, who has for some years been the ef
ficient honorable secretary. It is understood that
Mr J W Abbott, the eminent problem composer, has
succeeded the late Mr P T Duffy as chess editor of
the Illustrated London News. A chess tournament
with living pieces was the principal attraction at an
Irish fair held last week at Plymouth.”
Bro Weiman will publish ail the sound problems of
his recently completed tourney in a little book as
soon as the prizes are announced.
Id our issue of April 28, we gave an item about
Bnzecca, a Saracen at F orence in 1266. Tho little
item left us and appeared next in Scotland’s North
ern Figaro but immediately returned to the Michi
gan Churchman and thence entered upon a general
visit the American columns. Its extensive travels
had one curious resn t. Buzecca speedily became
Brozcca. and the Sunny South received no credit for
the popular but slightly disfigured litile tramp.
The June British Chess Magazine continues to
publish Augustus Mongredien’s impressions of chess
flayers. He wrote in 1882, and then thought Stein-
tz was the greatest living player and only a shade
below Morphy and La Bourdannais, both of whom
he met over the board.
G H D Gossip, the chess author, is on his way to
New York.
In view of the recent result in the Northern Figaro
tourney, wherein the solvere, as the judges, sefected
Mr Mackenzie’s 2 er for first prize and his 3 er for
second prize, the following will be interesting. We
copy from Mr Mackenzie’s column of May 19, before
the result of the tourney reached him. Answering a

that without solving a problem himself, no one can
correctly appreciate its value, It is with problems as
with some fruits, handling removes the peculiar
blooms of freshness and then they do not look so ap
