The following letter was received by one of Burke’s representatives a few days since from a friend in At lanta, who is pining for the scenes of his nativity, a bird hunt, fishing, spring chickens and water melons (?) Pining I am for the banks of green, A nd the gentle ripples of a flowing stream, The whirling eddies, the mossy logs. Even the miasma from the bogs Do tempt me with its sickly gleam, r am sighing too, for a clear bine sky Of an evening as the doves pass by, Winging their way to some watery spot, But managing ever to keep out of shot, No matter how still I lie. But speaking of pining, My! How I pine,old boy, for the sightof your face. The hoine-lolks; and the dear old'place We loved to romp so well together. Minding not the kind of weather Sent us by the good Lod’s Grace, sis sl it might seem to you that I cut the above o.Trather pie-emptorily, but I must make me haste to finish my work, that I may come down and quit writing about it, though it is very pleasant so to do. * * * I forgot to mention that: Yesterday while at East Lake, I saw a fisherman from the water take Two large trout. They must have weighed about Two pounds apiece. Of course this stimulated my desire To wet a line, So, without loosing time i proceeded to hire The necessary tackle (which cost a dime) And hied me to What they call the “Black Bass Rendezvous. But alas! That I, a fisherman, should tell the tale And live— I would give Two $s to have caught those trout, And as the sun was a*-out To sink behind a .vale of fleecy clouds I became thoroughly disgusted, Threw down my pole and line And came home busted. Do You not think that fora'man of my avocation This was sufficient provocation? Aug. 23d, 19G0. O.L.G. Kidge. Co rrespondence Citizen. August 27,1900. Messrs.
