THE SUNNY SOUTH, ATLANTA
A
>AY MORNING, JANUARY 10, 1891.
Hello! I* that the Sown y South office? I would
like to>peak to Aunt Judy and the Letter Boz
en a few minute-, please.
Well—And Is tnat you Aunt Judy? I just
wanted to tell you that it Is one of those clear,
cold mornings that I have heard would freeze
the ‘horns off of a brass monksy;" so In self de
fense I have been sitting by the tire reading the
interesting letters of your nieces and nephews
and decided I would like to be one of those
honored ones May I, now Auntie? Surely you
would not object to a pretty (?) red headed girl
calling you Aunt. And the couBins, well if you
accept me, they will be obliged to, you know,
and I will try to make myself so agreeable that
they won't miud.
What's tiat? You say I can really be one of
the cousins? Obi so much obliged to you. Now,
cousins, here 1 am. Will one or two of you at
least, welcome me.
Earnest Willie, guess who I am. I knew you
once in the “sweet past" when I was younger
than I am now; and you were not contined to
that tiresome bed. Ob! I forgot, Auntie, 1 am
leaving right now. (Jood-bye.
Dear Auntie: Before the old year has quite
gone I want to plead with you for a hearing,
and beg a cordial handclasp. There are al
ways certain sad, tender memories the New
Year speeds over aud leaves in its wake and
among these records of the past. I want to
place on the honorshelf an accepted intioduc-
tion irom you. Now will you, can you refuse
this urgent pica aud let me solicit in vain?
What are the recommendations any way to
get in here and make one of the merry-go-round
at the game of correspondence?
If they are many aud are exacting I must re
tire as I was never much at blowing my own
trumpet, it's too fatiguing. Lazy! i am one,
somebody says. I neither deny nor admit the
charge, so, lest 1 misnaply hit on some more of
my rare virtues will make no more suggestive
remarks.
■You have no idea what a help in composition
it is to see some of your wriiiug in print," a
i earlier ambitious for my career said once, and
since then 1 ve been sprinkling crow tracks over
rods of foolK"ap have been burning the mid
night oil and enduring damp, doggish feet as
an incentive to my ambitions until 1 feel like a
regular correspondent of rejected articles for
various papers and maguzines. Once before I
tried to run this gauntlet of polite critics, but I
ear me 1 made au inglorious retreat aud hid my
diminished head under the beckoning arms of
the all spreading W. B. Hut from the jaws of
death, from the writhing six hundred I've put
together mv remaining faculties and creep
forth for another sally.
You see the precepts of my early reader have
been (irmly instilled—the ditty of the immortal
“Try, try again" put to practice. I'm as un
Conquerable as Twain's Yankee. Avauut my
Mernu avaunt! as that same maiden teacher
used to say after the storming departure of eaca
rejected swain.
Now I would like to throw iu same individual
chat to each of you cousins, but modesty, that
wee cardinal vir.uc that possesses me, wuispers
not to presume too much on the acceptance of
this solicitation.
rio in all fealty I wish to all sweet recollec
tions of the pest and fond hopes for the new
year, and iu the meantime remain fondly yours,
cousins aud Aunt Judy, tjpeculatiugly ihme,
FltlNCrSd.
A bright happy New Year to all-to everybody
whose eyes chance to fall on this I would like
'.o extend my hand and give them a good old-
fastiionca hearty handshake, and give them a
glad new year s greeting. Alas' I would like
dearly for the whole wide world to feel as un
boundedly, exhilaraiingly happy as I do this
bright frosty morning with hod’s blessed, glo-
-ious sunshine turning everything to silvery
gold.
I wonder it I—a brand new member—will re
ceive a welcome by Aunt Judy's fireside. Please
do, somebody, for i so bate to be overlooked,
and 1 know you all will iu time loye me, for
that is something X cannot do without. I must
have love, or hate, for I can't tolertle indiffer
ence. By which remark you will infer that I
am an extremist: but you must find out forcer-
tain; 1 won't tell vou.
i wonder another thing, if Aunt Judy would
deem it tally if 1 tell her now nice ami sweet I
think she must be aud bow much I should like
to know her.
if occasion demands I can give any amount of
that sweet article, and have been told that 1
could talk love as beautifully as a boy. But if I
ever say anything like that to you, Aunt Judy
please know that I mean every word 1 say and
have been reading about you and admiring you
for a long, long time.
I think before long I'll pay a little visit to the
li. II , but for the present let me tarry here, fer
I am very fond of each and all of jou.
X think it would he a splendid idea for Aunt
lady to putup,beside her picture at the head of
this brilliant column: "Ail blues abandon, ye
who enter here.”
What do you think? I imagine I hear a very
aggravating,delightful relative of mine exclaim
iu disgust:
“Ah h-h some day, my dear girl, you will set
the Mississippi on lire with your ideas.”
My life would te very peaceable if it were not
for this pest of a boy cousin, aud a dear small
niece, who tog ther lead me a fearful life. '
I hope I have all of your united I'-mpathy.
My boy is very convenient though,if he is pro
voking, for he is very fo.d of the theatre, and
because I am almost as big a goose as he is about
laughing, aud because equally excited when the
tragedy begins, he always takes me with him.
We are a wonder to a>l beholders, as he has a
small habit of, in his excitement impressing a
'act by taking my hand and shaking it wildly,
saying iu a stage whisper: “There Cig, didn't
I tell you so?”
He's a great trial and I don't know what I'll
ever do with him.
I am hopelessly in love with some of the cous
ins and tbe Sunny South in general.
I think Nell Nightingale, Starling, Musa Dunn,
Basil and so many others are simply splendid.
Aud boys, don't allow Darling's appeal go by
'Unnoticed,
Now my dear Auntie, I have, I think,sufficient
age and experience to help brighten your cosy
fireside circle, and please do give me a cordial
welcome, for if you don't I’ll become utterly in
corrigible and come again. But really how can
you resist this letter? Impossible, isn’t it?
With a heart full ol love. Ever
Folle-Fabinb.
at home for any length of time? What can _
mother expect of a son who has been on the
streets since he has been old enough to be rolled
about in a cariiage until old enough to be in
some business? Surely not anything; yet I see
many going to their min thus every day. Oh,
ye mothers, take better care of the lives God
has intrusted to you!
Oar country is * losing ground" every day be
cause of this way of raising children, or I
should say, not raising them. I entreat yon
mothers (should any read this), raise yonr boys
by keeping them at home, as my mother did
me!
You can make men of them, if that be your
first step, and then they will bless you for it in
years to come, as I do mine.
Dear cousins, this letter from a boy may seem
somewhat out of place but I see so much ruin
all around me. and knowing tbe principal
cause, I could not refrain from writing some of
the many thoughts that clamored for escape
when I came upon this subject.
If what 1 have written does no good, it will
surely do no harm, and with thiB I dismiss the
subject.
Tnis is mv second letter, and I have made it
so lengthy 1 fear it will not meet with the kind
reception the first one did by Aunt Judy, but
will be turned over to the keeping of the W. B.,
even if said basket has no other claim upon it.
A few words more, please. Auntie.
It was with a great deal of pleasure that I read
Earnest Willie’s account of nis chair. I hope,
dear cousin, that it will help to brighten your
pure sweet life, as I would try to do if I was
near you. Write another long letter soon.
Come often, Francis Leigh, Hedra Helix,
Mohur Minnehaha, Hilda, and many others I
would like to mention had I time and space, for
I alwayseDjoy reading your splendid letters.
Goodbye, i may come again some day. Until
then believe me your friend.
Oneal.
Dear A unt Judy and Cousins:
"When at the soft, delightful hour of eve
The flowers of mem'ry yield a sweet perfume
And each sad thought with happy visions weave.
At this enchantiDg hour of mental bloom—
I think of thee.”
Y’es, “at this soft, delightful hour,” just after
tea, I am always to te found in my room read
ing or writing, which often leads to thoughts of
the many unknown friends of the Letter Box.
“Home, sweet home;” “Home to mother ”
Those are, I think, the two sweetest sentences
I ever reid-or at least the sweetest of any that
do not contain words more intimately associ
ated with Heaven or our spiiitual welfare. I
often wonder why it is that there are so few
boys who love home as I do, and wish there
were more of them ike me in that resDeet.
I love home better than any other place on
«arth and mother above everything else. I
have the best mother, I often think and say,
who ever lived, and she has taught me to love
home. I could never repay her for that one
lesson, if *t was the only one for which I was
indebted to her. It may be that many boys are
driveufrom borne (whit else can I call it?) be
muse theirs are not the right kind of mothers.
Girls, too, are likely to love other places—
theaters, balls and other places of amusement—
tvBtter than home, but not as much so as boys.
A child will naturally love home if it is made
Dleasant for it, and is not •'mamma” the
principal one to do this?
Of coarse, fathers have a good deal in this
line resting upon them, and mine does a great
deal to that end. But, a mother's love and care
■surpasses all else.
•*WeU may hearts cease all repining,
In a mother’s love secure;
Love that needs no fire’s refining,
Ever watchfnl, ever sure.”
'•Love that’s like a pure steam weUing
From a heaven-fed mountain crest!
Love all earthly love excelling!
Love the truest and the best!”
Bister and I (there are only us two now since
brother's death) have an exceptionally happy
home, and I often look around us and see oth-
ers not so blessed, and pity them. I would be
Ifod to help them more than it is in my power

my reach. Sometimes it is one thing and
Sometimes another, but it is oftencst because

ews. Thanks. I know you could not have
the heart to deny my request, and I love you
that much' the better than if you had turned
me oil', because that shows a kind heart, and a
liberal one, too. I was awfully glad to hear
you would have some photos taken, for I am
going to have one of them or break my neck,

Zirline, 1 ihink I know the trio who boarded
the traiu at Marshall, Texas although I.may be
mistaken about them. Was not the young lady
who made the mistake iu seats a b onde? you
called her “Grace.” If so she is the same; she is

when you come through Atlanta again.
Dixie Lassie, you never were more mistaken
than now. burely you got iuto a wrong plat e
somewhere iu Texas. There are ai many pretty
girls in the “Lone Star State” as you ever saw
Huywhere. I wou't deny the compliment paid
to “Mustangs boys,” they are a handsome set
of fellows, aud as good hearted boys as you
could meet anywhere, aud have many noble
manly traits of character. Hut, Dixie Lassie,
younnust take every word of that back about
the Texas girls. Why, there is Zirline; 1 am
sure he will agree with me, for some of the
prettiest girls 1 ever saw were iu Fort Worth. 1

“Yes the yeir is growing old
And his eyes are pale and bleared
Death with frosty hand and cold
Plucks the old man by the beard”
‘Sorely—sorely!’*
Yes death has secured a saving hold on the
whiskers of old 1S90 and in twe more short days
will have yanked him out of existence and out
of our lives forever.
Never again will we enjoy tbe perfume of the
flowers that spring brings annually, or be funed
by tbe zephyrs, or serenaded by the gay plum
age minstrels of nature, under the reigu of our
old departed friend. In vain may we cry:
4 Backward, roll backward,
O time iu thy flight!”
Heedless of all appeals ,the great wheel moves
on. As well expect tbe sun or moon to cease
their daily voyages over the universe at the
bidding of man. Many of us would fain call
back tbe past year and with penitential hands
rectify the errors or misdeeds of which we were
guilty and cau now so plainly see, but too late. It
has passed on out of rtach of the hand of mau
to rectify or blot out, to be numbered with the
ages past and gone. There is something of sad
ness in the decease of the old year, an old
friend whose presence we have enjoyed for
three hundred and sixty-five years, and whose
pets and foibles we have become accustomed
to, ha8gone never to return and bis successor
of whom we know nothing is about to be usher
ed in, in whose reign we know not wuat will
be'all us. AH is uneertaihty.
It is a great deal safer to review the past than
anticipate the hidden pitfalls of ibe future but
the safest course of all is to neither trust the
future nor linger over the past, but improve
each opportunity as it comes. Act act in a
living pursuit, heart within aud God overhead,
for each stroke of the heart is a drumbeat iu our
funeral marches
Christmas is nearly over, cousins, and I have
been lioused up all tbe time unabled to take
any of it tn, so surely you and Aunt Judy won't
object to mo inflicting a little chin music on
you.
Since I was last permitted to occupva portion
of your space, I have turned my back on the
home of my childhood and pitched my tent in
a strange land amongstranger, hoping by this
procedure to win a stray smile lrom fortune,
but through an accident which happened to
me some three weeks ago 1 am once more at
home. On my arrival here I found my sister
suffering from a dislocated shoulder, which for
bids all thought of music, and everything read
able in the house has been read and a portion
reread, so as my ramblings are confined to the
house I thought I would vary the sameness by
venturing in to see if any one retains a green
spot in their memory for me, or if my fate is
among the names forgotten.
Was that a voice fro m Earnest Willie’s new
chair saying welcome,or the wild winds wafting
back the sad echo, forgotten?
Little Nell, though I thought so, it seems you
hadn’t forgotten me, for dfd you not tell some
one some time ago to give me a flower? Suppose
vou write and enclose me one.
Cousin Cecil, as I was being whirled along
with lightning s oeed by the great iron horse
to my place of operation via Nashville, I won
dered if I was passing your home.
Cyclo, I am glad to see you back again. Write
often.
Spicy, you are a darling. You remind me so
much of a friend of mine.
The latest society fad is the “gripp.” It is
also thought society will sneeze the balance of

The Horsemen in the Air
A Weird Tale of the First Year of
the War.
NE SUNNY afternoon In
the autumn of the year
1861 a soldier lay in
damp of lanrel by the
side of the road in west
era Virginia. He ley at
full length upon hie
stomach, his feet resting
upon the toes, his bead
upon hie left forearm. His
extended right hand
loosely grasped his rifle.
But for the somewhat
methodical disposition oy
his limbs, ana a slight
rhythmic movement of the cartridge-box
at the back of hie belt, he might have
been thought to be dead. He was asleep
at hie post of duty. But If detected he
would be dead shortly afterward, that
being the Just and legal penalty of his
crime.
The country was wooded everywhere
except at the bottom of the valley to the
northward, where there was a small
natural meadow through which flowed a
stream scarcely visible from the valley’s
rim. This open ground looked hardly
larger than an ordinary dooryard, but
was really many acres in extent. Its
green was more vivid than that of the In
closing forest. Awsy beyond It rose a
line of giant cliffs similar to those upon
which we are supposed to stand in our
survey of the savage scene, and through
which the road had somehow made its
climb to the summit- The configuration
of the valley. Indeed, was such that from
our point of observation It seemed en
tirely shnt in, and one could not but
have wondered bow the road which
found a way out of it had found a way
into It, and whence came ana whither
went the stream that parted the meadow
2,000 feet below.
No country Is so wild and difficult but
men will make it a theatre of war Con
cealed In the forest at the bottom of that
military rat trap, in which half a hun
dred men in possession of the exits
might have starved an army to submis
sion, lay five regiments of Federal in
fantry. They had marched all the
previous day and night and were rest
ing. At nightfall they would take to the
road again, climb to the place where
their unfalthfol sentinel now slept, and,
descending tbe other slope of the ridge,
fall upon a eamp of the enemy at about
midnight. Their hope was to surprise
him, for the road led to the rear of hia
camp. In case of failure their position
would be perilous in tbe extreme, and
fail they would should accident or vig
llance apprise him or the movement.
The sleeping seDtinel in the clamp of
laurels was a young Virginian named
Carter Druse. He was the son of wealthy
parents—an only child—and had known
such ease and cultivation and hign liv
ing as wealth and taste were able to com
mand In the mountain country of wes
tern Virginia a quarter of a century ago.
His home was but a few miles from
wher9 he now lay. One morning he rose
from tbe breakfast taoleand said quietly,
but gravely: ‘-Father, a union regiment
has arriveu at Grafton, I am going to
join it.”
Tbe father lifted his leonine head,
looked at the Bon a moment in silence,
and replied: ‘Go, Carter, and whatever
may happen I hope that you will do
what jou conceive to be your duty.
Should we both live to toe ena of the war
we will speak further of the matter.
Your mother, as the physician has in
formed you, is in a critical condition; at
the best she cau not be with us longer
than a fe-.v weens, but that time is pre
cious. It would be better not to disturb
her,”
So Carter Druse, bowing reverently to
his father, who returned the salute with
a stalely courtesy which masked a break
ing hears, left the home of his childhood
to go soldiering. By conscience and
courage, by deeds o’ devotion and daring,
he soon commended himself to his fel
lows and his officers; and it was to these
qualities and to some knowledge of the
L-tut-itj tLat—S'Cwtd —in-
oommadder was permittii r (ha man of
hia escort to water their
open In plain view from a
mlts.
Druse withdrew his eysi
Icy and fixed them again i
ous duty at the extreme outpost. Never
thelees fatigue had been stronger than
resolution and he had fallen aBieep.
What good or bad angel came in a dream
to rouse him from his state of crime, who
shall saj? Without a movement, without
a sounu, In the profound silence and the
languor of the late afternoon, some in
visible messenger of fate touched with
unsealing finger the eyes of his con
sciousness-whispered into the ear ofhfs
spirit the mysterious awakening word
which no human lips have ever spoken,
no human memory has ever recalled. He
quietly raised his forehead from his arm
and looked between the laurels, instinct
ively closing his right hand about the
stock of his rifle.
His first feeliDg was a keen artistic de
light. On the colossal pedestal of the
cliff, motionless, at the extreme edge of
the capping rock, sharply outlined
against tne sky, was an equestraiu statue
of impressive dignity. Tne figure of tbe
man sat the figure of tbe horse straight
and soldierly, but with the repose of a
Grecian god carved In tbe marble which
limits tne suggestion of activity. Tbe
gray costume harmonized with its aerial
background; tbe metal of accouterment
and caparison was softened and subdued
by the shadow; the animal's skin had no
points of highlight. A carbine, striking
ly foreshortened, lay across tne pommel
of the saddle, kept in place by tne right
hand grasping It at tbe “grip”; the left
hand, noicing the bridle rein, was invis
ible. In silhouette against the sky the
profile cf the horse was cut with the
sharpness of a cameo; It looked across
tne heights cf air to the ciitt beyond.
The (ace of the- rider, turned slightly to
the left, showed oDly an outline of tern
pie and board; he was looking downward
to the bottom of the valley. Ma ‘nified
by its lift against the sky and by the
soldier's testifying sense of the formid
ableness of a mar enemy, the group ap
peared of heroic, almost colossal, sizs.
For an Instant Druse had a strange,
half-defined fetling that he had slept to
the end of the war aud was looking upon
a noble work cf art reared npon that
commanding eminence to commemorate
the deeds of a heroic past, of which he
had been an ingierions part. The feel
ing was dispelled Dy a slight movement
of ths group. Tbe horse without moving
its feet had drawn its body slightly back
ward from the verge. The man remained
immobile as before. Broad awake and
keenly alive to the significance of the
situation Druse now brought the butt of
his rifle against his cheek by cautiously
pushing the barrel forward through the
bashes, cocked the piece, and, glancing
through the sights, covered a vital spot
of the norsetnan’s breast. lA touch upon
the trigger and all would have been well
with Carter Druse. At that instant the
horseman turned his head and looked in
the direction of his crouching foeman—
teemed to look into his very face, into
his eyes, Into his brave, compassionate
heart.
Is it, then, so terrible to kill an enemy
in war, an enemy who has surprised a
secret vital to the safety of one’s self and
comrades, an enemy more formidable for
his knowledge than all his army for its
numbers? Carter Druse grew deathly
pale; he shook in every limb, turned
faint, and saw the statneeqne group be
fore him as black figures, rising, falling,
moving unsteadily in arcs of circles fn
a fiery sky. His hand fell away from his
weapon, his head slowly dropped until
his face rested on the leaves in which he
lay. This courageous gentleman and
hardy soldier was near swooning from
intensty of emotion and excitement.
It was not for long; in another moment
his face was from earth; hie hands re
sumed their places on the rifle; his fore
finger sought the trigger. Mind, heart,
ana eyee were clear, conscience and
reason sound. He could not hope to cap.
tors that enemy; to alarm him would hot
send him dashug to his cunp with his
fatal nows. The duty of the soldier was
plain; the man most be shot dead from
ambush; without warning, without a
moment’s spiritual preparation, with
never so much as an unspoken prayer, he
most be sent to hia account. Bat no—
there is a hope; he may have discovered
nothing—perhaps be is bnt admiring the
sublimity of the landscape. If permitted
he may torn and ride carelessly away in
the direction whence he came. Barely it
will be possible to judge at the instant of
his withdrawing whether ho knows. It
may be well that his fixity or attention—
Druse turned his head and looked below.
Through the depth of air downward, as
from the surface to the bottom of a trans-
luoent sea, he saw creeping across the
green meadow a sinuous line of the
figures of men and horses. Some foolish
horses in the
hundred sum
from the vsl'
ipon the group
oi man and horse in the sky, and again it
was through the sights ol his rifle. Ho
was calm now. His teeth were firmly
bnt not rigidly dosed; his nerves were as
tranquil as a sleeping baby's; not a tre
mor affected any muscle of his body; his
breathing, until suspended in the act of
taking aim, was regular and slow. Doty
had silenced conscience; the spirit bed
said to the body: “Peace, bo still.” He
fired.
At this moment an offloer of the federal
force, who in a spirit of adventure or in
quest of knowledge had left the hidden
bivouac in the valley, and climbing the
slope had made his way to the lower
ledge of a small open specs near the foot
of the cliff, was considering what he had
to gain by pushing his exp oration forth*
er. At a distance of a quarter of a mile
before him, but apparently at a stone’s
throw, rose from its fringe of pines the
gigantic face of rock, towering to so
great a height above him that It made
nim giddy to look np to where its edge
cut a sharp, ragged line against the sky.
At some distance away to his right it
presented a clean, vertical profile against
a background of bine sky to a point half
the way down and of distant hills hardly
less blue thence to tbe tope of the trees
at its base. Lifting his eyes to the dizzy
altitude of its summit the offloer saw an
astonishing sight—a man on horseback
riding down into the valley through the
air.
Straight upright sat the rider,In milita
ry fashion, with a firm seat in the saddle,
a strong clutch upon the rein to hold his
charger from too impetuous a plunge.
From his bare head his long hair streamed
upward, waving like a plume. Hu right
hand was concealed in the cloud of the
horse's lifted mane. The animal’s body
was as level ss IT every hoof stroke en
countered the resistant earth. Its mo*
tions were those of a wild gallop, bnt
even as the offioer looked they ceased,
with all the legs thrown forward as In
the act or alighting from a leap. Bnt
this was a flight.
Filled with amazement and terror by
this apparition of a horseman in the sky
—half believing himseif the chosen scribe
of some new Apocalypde—the officer was
overcome by tbe intensity of his emo
tions; his legs failed him, and he fell.
Almost at the same Instant he heard a
crashing sound in the trees—a sound that
died without an echo, and all was still.
The offioer rose to his feet trembling.
The familiar sensation of an abraded
shin recalled his dazed faculties. Pull
ing himself together be ran rapidly ob
liquely backward irom the cliff to a point
a naif mile from its foot. Thereabout he
expected to find his man, and there
about he naturally failed. lathe fleet
ing instant of his vision his Imagination
had been so wrought upon by the ap
parent grace and ease and intention of
the marvelons performance that it did
not occur to him that tbe line of march
of aerial cavalry is directly downward
and that he could find the objects of his
seaich at tbe very foot [of the cliff. An
hour later he returned to camp.
This officer was a wise man; ho knew
better than to tell an incrediole truth.
He said nothing of what he had seen.
But when the commander asked him if
in his scout he had learned anything of
advantage to the expedition he an*
swered:
“Yes, sir; there Is no road leading
down Into this valley from the south
ward.”
After firing his shot Private Carter
Druse reloaded his rifle and resumed his
watch. Ten minutes had hardly pasted
when a federal sergent crept cautiously
to him on hands and knees. Druse
neither turned his head nor looked at
him, but lay without motion or sign of
recognition-
“D;d you fir6?” the sergeant whispered.
“Yes.”
“At. what?”
“Ahorse. It was standing on yonder
rock—pretty far out. You see It is no
longer there. Iam p, great marksman;
you know I once shot a mitch with the
devil in hell and beat him ”
The sergeant was shocked ard star-
tied. He looked searchiugiy at Druse.
The man’s face was white; nts eyes were
restless and glittered witn a strange, un
canny light. The sergeant, still on
hands ana knse3, Involuntarily backed a
little way from him.
“Sie here, Druse,’ he said, after a mo
ment's silence, “it’s no use making a
mystery. I order yonJtojmport. Was
Jtherfu.anybodykzS
the horse?”
“Do you moan the horse which had
WiDgj?”
“Well, yes. If that’s the kind of hors 9
you shot. Was thera any one else?”
“Y’es.”
“Who?”
“My father.”
The sergeant rose to his feet and
walked rapidly down the road toward
the vailey.—Ambrose Bierce.

But if you can make use of it,
