“J. S. 1-t.” IK NEW YORK.
New Yobk, July 10th, 1882.—A promise to
write you an ocoaviotml recurs to n.i ut the
time, and having a few leisure moment s < ill hand,
I take pleasure In complj itipr.
At last 1 am in New York, the (treat metropo
lis. The noise, the bustle, the confusion, the din,
the hurry and the steam of the great city, is
around and upon me in its direst intensity.—
What a city! Upon every hand is heard the
clang and the clamor, the rush and the roar, the
tumult and the tempest, which belongs to and is
a part of the great and only Gotham. New York
is verily a world within a world: one glance
down its crowded tin roughfares will convince
even the most skeptical on this point. The ner
vous, restless crowd, swaying excitedly hither
and thither, each intent upon his or her own
mission, affects .lie calm spectator peculiarly :
for there is something in a tumultuous throng,
in an anxious sea of human faces ami expres
sions, tliat strikes the beholder with more than
ordinary feeling. As I stood for a few. brief
moments this afternoon upon historic ^roadway,
and gazed away down upon tin; sea of solemn
faces that swelled and swayed in their dlfferei t
courses, a spirit of sadness, indefinable and un
accountable, crept upon me, while a sense of
pity ami commiseration’ stole over my being,
flat I find mvself diverging from the original
plan of my letter, which I intended should be
discriptive of the voyage.
As von are aware, I left Waynesboro on the
evening of July 7th. Scarcely had I boarded the
train, which was to convey me to Milieu and
thence to Savannah, when 1 recognized Un
familiar face of Judge T. M. Berrien, who was
upon his way to Millen on a business mission.
And right here T will take occasion to remark
that I am much indebted to thekindly fate which
afforded me the pleasure ol his company down
the road; for ere we had reached his destined
point, the Judge recognized the face of a hand
some young lady, a former acquaintance of his
at one of the Georgia springs, and renewing the
fellowship formed in the halcyon days of “aul
long syne,” h • hastened to introduce the writer.
I found that she, in company with a sister and
friend, were destined for Kew York, via the
City of Augusta, and that the forthcoming voy
age would prove their first, venture at sea. In
view of a contemplated and predetermined
attack of “sea-sickness” on my part, tills fact
afforded me much consolation.' The party so
happily met with, were from Augusta, and prov
ed the most agreeable of companions the entire
way.
We reached Savannah safely rhe following
morning, and found our steamer lying beautiful
ly at vest loading for the voyage. When the
hour of departure arrived, one hundred and
three passengers had boarded, and amid the
waving of handkerchiefs and the bidding of
“good-byes," the steamer cut loose from the
wharf, and dropped leisurely down the river.
A run of two horn’s brought us to the bar, and
soon we were upon the mysterious, sad and
solemn sea, steering due Norin, off the Carolina
coast. When the bell announced the bom of
dinner, we all assembled for the til’s! time at our
respective seats at the festal hoard. Upon every
there was a look of joy and pleasure antiei-
<1. Supper ere long was upon us, and I
jl hesitate to say that there wa- a eonsider-
! dimimtt 'ol\ and at the dining on the follow
.day ) solemnly declare that . iit. of twenty
sat at.table number two, them were only
ten present.. Causes unknown !
long the many passengers, we formed quite
y little crowd, who proved close oompau-
ilR the.entire journey. Reinforced by my lady
companions, who came in as a relief, I was well
and Pleasantly entertained. Tlio weather was
l»il®ply exquisite the entire way, and nothing
occurred to mar the pleasure of the trip. Sailing
.under tloudh ss skies, and on a starlit sea. every
thing passed off only too quickly anti pleasantly.
The morning promenades upon the deck, and
the evening chat in Social Fall were among the
pleasant incidents and episodes. This hurried
account brings me to the end of my voyage—the
landing in N. Y. Bay. And here I will say a
hasty good-bye for the present, promising to
gtv_e you another soon. I will probably go down
to Washington Wednesday or Thursday.

RESOLUTIONS OF WAYNESBORO METH
ODIST SUN DA Y SCHOOL.
Jennie Lb uHc Fa'nier, youngest child of Prof.
James Elmore Palmer, deceased, and Mrs. Mary
Weaver PuIitkt, wns born in Grecnesboro. Ga.',
■November I4tb. 1859, and died in Waynesboro,
i a., June 2(9 b 1882. Almost from the time that
she npuld vroik, until she was stricken down by
her last illness, she was connected with the Sun
day School, and none ever held the privilege
higher esteem, or more faithfully improved its
instillations. V, hen very young she joined the
church, and to the day of her death gave the
most unquestionable evidence in hi r walk and
conversation of the renewing and sanctifying
rower of Divine Grace : proof stronger than pro
fession, or argument, of the possibility of living a
-lifo “hid with Christ in God.”
Tn purity^rf mind, gentleness and sweetness of
temper, temtev regard for the feelings of others,
and undividing loyalty to conscience. Jennie has
left us an example worthy of the praise and
emulation o all. Too timid and modest to be
demonstrative, Rhe yet impressed all who knew
horthat relip ion was to her more than a mere
creed, ora subject for study and admiration—
that it was transforming power, and an inspira
tion of life. She has entered into rest: but her
pure and beautiful life will ever speak to us in
language of comfort and encouragement.
Thertfore, Renoheil, That while we accept her
removal from among us as a dispensation full of
mercy and love to her, and bow with unmurmur
ing submission thereto, we feel that our school
has lost one of the most earnest, faithful and lie-
loved pupils ; tho church one of its purest and
loveliest members, and society one whose modest
yv'Vth and irreproachable character were above
ail price.
ao. That we will cherish her memory with
fond and constant admiration and affec-
to place it as a welcome visitor at the
fireside of every reading family in the
county. We will give two weeks no
tice to all whoso subscriptions are ex
piring by placing a cross mark on tho
margin, and as we would regret, to drop
a single name from our hooks, we hope
every one of our old friends will renew.
