R«ab Aunt Judy: Armed with an invitation
’rnm you, delivered by that general favorite
and my very good friend Earnest Willie, to visit
the Young Folks’ corner, I come back to my
native Georgia knowing that I will be given a
cozy scat while lor a lew moments I chat with
the cousins about the beautiful Shenandoah
Valley, of which they have so often heard, many
f r °m the mouths of fathers who spent a few
years here some twenty-five years ago, when
other ’.bought* than of the beauty of the scenery
occupied their minds. Georgia aud Virginia
were the two best representatives of the old
ante helium south- They boro the brunt ol the
Im’oC giaHiitic conflict, Hiul when tne grent Samp
son of the North b >wed himself and pulled these
two props away, that beautiful structure the
Southern Confederacy, so full of hopes arid
promises, fell. But before It fell, how many a
•'Georgia Volunteer" tell asleep beneath the
cedars and tue pines” of the Alieghames! On
accouut of the inane of our fathers who b aved 1
the cannon s mouth here Georgians have a
peculiar interest in the shen-n ioah Valley. It
- vale oi rempe surrounded bv mountains '
Foft airs and song and light and bloom” of
early summer, was it not, dear friends, when I
came to you last? The summer is long past, the
K ory of autumn ended the chilling air and
naked woods of winter greet ns now, while the
remnant of the Christmas "good things" and
the presents from Santa Clans’ wonterful pack
make us to know that Christmas has come,
gone, and another year ended.
4 ‘Another yeart oh how the years pass on!
They come and ere we think or wish are gone!
We plan, resolve, and promise in a day,
Forget Jbegin anew, the year has passed away!”
I have not forgotten you, though I have kept
long away. I have read the Jetters each week,
often desired to write, and yet did not.
To those who have remembered and spoken
kindly words, I remember and love you all.
With Spicy lean truthfully declare, 4 no one
appreciates these things more than I.”
Aud new members, Ilemberliie, Juanita, Zir-
1 ine, Cricket, all you whose nice letters I have
read but whose names I can’t recall, here is a
pleasant greeting with a hope that you will
come again.
And to all in sterotyped phrase I cry, ‘‘Happy
New Yeai!” Not a year that is all sunshine It
will come to no one of you. Ajid it is well that
it is so.
‘ He sends you the blinding darkness,
And the furnace of seven fold heat;
’Tis the only way, believe me,
To keep you close to his feet,
For ’tis always so easy to wonuer
When our lives are glad and sweet.’*
May you be happy in the sunshine of his pres
ence.
Nemo, was the unsigned letter of a few weeks
ago yours? Then to you firsl, because of what
you said, I must speak. Come and tell me of
last summer as iteauie to you in your woodland
home au l I will teli you of mine and of walks
through antu nn woods “Tht.reisa pleasure
iu the pathless woods, eh, Nemo?
Or wa* it you Melancholy Will? You also are
a Tennesseean and have kept loug away.
Will ilyssene, how the little Punch of wild
fl *wers am blue grass from our own Middle
Tennessee set me dreaming! Thank you very
much, Will, aud come back soon. Kilencc is
not Koldeti when your letters appear.
Frmcis Leign, I am a great rniud to give you
whose tops, as the poem hasit^ nse towardtne I * WMy! 1 doll ’ t like tQis 8dlUa S UIlder several
realms of snow ” The valley is a beautiful blue uoulb *
Grass region, rich as the valley of the Nile, aud
vs Whittier says in Barbara Fritchie, ‘‘fair as a
garden of the Lord.”
Lexington is situated near the head of the
valley, about teu miles from the mountains,
fourteen from the Natural Bridge ami about
eleven from Rockbridge baths. It is famous as
the seat of Washingt >u and Lee University and
the Virginia Military Institute, two of the lead-
ing institutions of the -<outh.
Washington and Lee University was founded,
as Liberty Hall Academy, in 17/6. It whs char
tered iu 1782, being the lirst chartered school in
\ lrginia after the English colony became a
commonwealth. In 17% George Washington
made adouatiou of fifty thousand dollars to the
academy, after which the name was changed to
Washington College. Soon after the war Geu.
Robt. E. Lee was e e3ted president, which ollice
he held up to the time of his death.
He devoted himself actively to the duties of
kis office, aud l. is said hat could he have
|ved he would have proven himself the great*
pt college presideut the world ever saw.
The old General took a personal iuterest in
ivery boy who 3ame here, using every means to
fencourage him to excel iu his studies, and to
khrow Christian influences around him.
He is ouried in a mausoleum, built as an
■apsis to the university chapel. Just behind the
f rostrum there is an opening in the wall through
• which the Balleutyne recumbent statue cm be
I scca.
This stitue is one of the finest statues in the
I’ nited rf’ates ami is so realistic that you seem
Starling, I in lend to write you a letter some
sweet day. Bo you know I cherisa a bit of
writing that l call yours? How did it come into
my pu.-session do you wonder?
Spicy, don’t we know you under an
other name? I like your letters, friend.
Lucille of course I can trade, but hew? Not
speak out in meetin’ eh?
Lenora, we warn a letter from you.
Au i Italic must come again with her helpful
words aud so assist us iu rnakiug our lives a
more earnest endeavor.
Hilda, you shall bo our sunbeam. See that
you shine into the dark corners and brighten
the sad faces among us.
Doctor, how did you spend Xmas?
Evangeline, we are the loser by your silence.
What sorrow is thine, O Mother Earth,
That wails in thy winds tonight?
What anguish smothered iu tne bitter moans
That creep into my room so bright?
Thou bendest over a dying bed;
It ho ds tne form of th / child !
The win :s I hear are stilled moans
From thy heart pierced almost wild!
Be still! Be still! O waiting winds!
Cal ji well thyself, O Eartn!
It is the God who takes the old
Aud gives the new year birth!
1SU1! We have orened the new book. It will
not lake long to fill it. Let us be careful to
. . . . . . .. write each page well, so that when the whole is
to be looking at the great sjldier himself, lying . ready to be sealed, it may be oflered up Iroin
iu calm repose, rather than as cold and sense- ‘ ’
less marble He lies on a couch with his right
•hand folded across his breast aud his left King
on the hilt of his sword.
The old colored janitor, “Old Tom ” was the
old General's servant during the war an 1 as he
tells you of the old times,wneu “Mars Bob” was
alive he almost grows wild. Hesayi
dat's des like Mars B »b. Dey’s got er picter of
dat statue what d* y’s gone and put up down to
Richmond up h -re in de library and de very
fust time 1 gits in dar when nobody a n't a look
in’ I’se gwiue to t -ar it down Dev’s got Mars
Bob rared back dar on his h jss. Guess I'se seeu
Mars Bob on horseback a million times, and he
rid straight he did, he never rared back dat
way,”
Below the statue, in the bisement of the
chapel, is the old General's office kept just as it
was the day he left it, when he laid down his
pen for the last time. There is his chair, just
where he pushed it back from the table. There
are the books, papers, vidting-cards, etc., lying
where ’he hand of Lee laid them.
The last writing he did was to make out a
class list. One eoluinu is filled, ami at the top
of the uext are the words, ••Junior II'*—but
there the hand that held the sword in Mexico,
aud at Gettysburg grew weary, the pen fell from
its grasp aud the immortal Lee left ihj room to
enter it no more.
In the little vi lage cemetery. Stonewall Jack-
son sleeps. <-»oiug one afternoon to see his
grave, aud after looking all over the cemetery
for it iu vain, 1 was just leaving, when my eyes
fell ou a small gravestone about two feet high —
such a r ne as can be seen iu every churchyard,
with only "Gen. T J. Jackson” written upon it.
How si nple! Napoleon sleeps beueata the dome
of Nortre Dime in a magnificent sepulchre and
streams of people visit his tomb daily. But
here is the grave of the greatest soldier since
the ‘‘Little Corporal,” iu a quiet village church
yard, almost unmarked, and to which only au
occasional visitor comes. How like the man!
It is no doubt as ht would have it. He sleeps
“under the shale of the trees,” whose branches,
breathed apon by the mouutaiu breezes, sigh
bis dirge. a ,
Now Aunt Judy, perhaps I have talked long
enough, and had bet’er bid you aud the

Dear Cousins: Such a long silence has elapsed
since I wrote to the Letter Box that I fear I am
no longer recognized. What uas become of all
our old cousins? I look iu vain for Dido, Star
ling, Monk, Left, Clarence, Eugene and Lillian
Lee. I feel like a stranger myself among to
many new faces, and hardly know who to speak
to in this assembly. But. as Beth needs sym
pathy, I will endeavor to sooth her rufiled feel
ings, for my big brother stole a march ou us aud
Is now fully installed in wedding bliss.
Oh! Beth, “Love some day must come to all,’

For the Sunny South.
SPIKIT JANE.
Like angel tears, the snowflakes fall—
Fall aud waue,
Aud kiss you ivied, marbled wall—
Kiss iu vain—
Their pallid lips caress thy tomb,
Aud ghostly paint thy narrow home,
Spirit Jane—‘
Such crystal gem* of white-winged snow,
Aud seeking rest ou earth below,
Spirit Jaue.
Like shattered hopes the snowflakes fall
Down like rain.
Aud drape you veroaut cedars tall,,
O’er again;
Their eager ears will heed my cries,
Aud mists will bear them to the skies,
Spirit Jaue—
Such mists, tho’ born of pinioned snow,
Will bear my thoughts from earth below,
Aud whisper them to thee, 1 kuow,
Spirit Jane,
Like spirit shapes, the snowflakes glide
O'er the main.
And ride proud oceau’s crested tide
Home again;
Like elfin shapes, they sink to rest—
Are rocked to sleep ou ocean’s breast,
Spirit Jane -
And bosomed iu tne ocean’s flow,
As garnered souls of spotless »now,
They live like thee, forevermore,
Spirit J&ne.
Cold on my lips the snowflakes lie,
Lie and wane,
Wane to tears from an angel’s eye,
Spirit Jane—
O cloud winged tears of frozen white,
Thus kiss my fever’d lips tonight
O'er again—
O bear taat kiss to realms of light;
O bear It up ou wings of white,
And wafe it to au augel bright,
Spirit Jaue.

Why You Should Not Have a
Pass.
While Col. B. W, Wrenn, of the E. T.,

follows, for so doing:
BIBLICAL AUTHORITY.
“Thou shalt not pass "—Numbers xx: 18.
“Sufler not a roau to pass.”—Jucges iii: 28.
“The wicked shall no more pass ’’—Nahum

James Boss Hunting Case, the pioneeroi
filled eases. It hoe stood the teat of fifty
years. These osaea are manufactured
from two plates of solid gold, over-laying
a plate of com position metal, and In ap
pearance and for wearing qualities ora
rally equal to the solid gold cues. Each
Com ie accompanied with a certificate of
guarantee from the manufacturer. The
Style of engraving Is rioh and varies In
design. We fit this ease with the cele
brated Hampden Movement, which ex
perts pronounce as far superior to either
the Elgin or Waltham makes. We have
■elected this Hampden Movement from
all others, believing it to be the beet for
the money, but tbose who are prejudiced
in favor of the Elgin or Waltham move
ments can have them at the same price.
These watches are carefully boxed, and
will carry safely to destination. Instruc
tions go with each and every watch, aa
