WIDDEU GREEN'S LAST WORDS.
"I'm goin' to die:" says the Widder
(ireen.
"I'm goin' to leave this airthly scene: -It
ain't no place forme to stay
In such a world us'tls to-day.
Sucb works and ways is too much for me;
Nobody can't let nobody be.
The girls is flounced from fop to toe.
An' that's the hull o' what they know.
The men is mad on bonds ari stocks .
Swearin! an' shootin an' pickin' locks.
I'm real afraid I'll be hanged myself
Ef I ain't laid on my final shelf.
TliRr ain't a cretnr bwt knows to-day
I never xm Inuatie in any way;
But since crazy folks all jo free,
I'm dreadful afraid they'll hang np me.
There's another mattter that's pesky hard
I can't go into a neighbor's yard
To say IIuv be youT or borry a pin
Rut what the. paper'll have it in.
'We're pleased to sav that WidderGreen
T(ok dinner a Tuesday with Mrs. Keene.'
Or 'Our worthy friend Miss Cireen has
gone
Down to Brakhamsled to seejier son.'
(Ireat Jerusalem! can't I stir
Without-a-rasin" some feller's fur?
There ain't no privacy' as to .say
No more than it' this was the Judgement
Par.
And ns for meet in' I want to swear
Whenever I put inv heu! in .there
Why, even 'Old Ilundreds' spiled and
done
Like everything else under the sun.
It used to be solemn and slow
Praise to the Lord from men below:
Now it goe like a gallopin' steer,
High diddle diddle, there and here!
No respect to the Lord above,
No more'n ef he wa hand and glove
With all the creturs he ever made,
And all tli- jigs that ever was played.
Preachin', too but he-re I'm dumb;
But I tell you what1. I'd like it some
Ef good old parson Nathan Strong,
Out o' his grave would come along,
.Va'-give xa a stirrin' taste o' fire
Judgejnent an' justice u my desire.
.Taint all love and siekish sweet
That makes, this world or t'other com
plete But law! I'm old. I'd better be dead
Whin, the world's a-turnin . over my
head.
Sperit's talkin like tarnal fools,
Bibles kicked out o'de strict schools,
Crazy creturs a-murderin' round
Honest folks bHter be under ground.
So fare-ye-well f this airthly scene
Wcji't no more I be; pestered by Vidder

Piedmont Springs, N.
Afg. 2.)th. 1884.
Messrs ' JJtlitorsi-j-Ovsmg; to
tho" lack of accommodation at
the Springs., and :tiie unusual
large number of visitors here
this season, a goodly- number
of them have had to stop at
Dimbury a distance of 21 miles
I from the Springs. Banbury,
the county site or fetoKes is
situated on the south side and
immediately on the banks of
Dan river, "it is quite old in
appearance and ns there seem
to be no Impro vement going on
I suppose it is iinished! There
are about 300 inhabitants I
fifyould think judging from the
si'.e of the place, it nas.no
IMayor or other town' officers,
and is-what is known iu mei
cantilQ circles "a dry toiai."
There are three stores' of gener
al merchandise, one Drug Store
one church, (Methodist) and 2
Hotels that have accommoda
tcil as many as .500 visitors this
season. The adage "it never
rains but it pours," was veri
fied here last evening for it was
indeed a glorious rain accom
panied with vivid "Hashes of
lightning and deafening thun
der, an much to the delight and
profit of the tillers of the soil
as to tliei chagrin and vexation
of tha. visitors here, in fact the
refreshing showers h ere for the
pas't week made vegetation look
richer and the cereal crops
more promising. The moun
tains Jok grander and more
beautiful this summer than ev
er before, and I enjoy the pleas
ure this morning as I write of
beholding in reality the cloud
capped nioun tains so often and
so graphically described by.
prose and poetic authors, but
the clouds have rolled by and
the bright sunshine of to-day
removes all feelings of depres
sion and the scene has changed
as if by magic from one oi
gloom and dulness' to one of
bright nesand vivacity as indi
cated by the sunshine faces you
seo on" everv side and tho

places enirawl in their frolic-
irr- and innocent plays. To
those who contemplate visiting
the mountain resorts, either for
pleasure or recreation i or ; for
health and restoration, I would
say that they have every enjoy
ment here which the pleasure
seeker can desire m the way oi
buggy drives and scenery and
every xrniise of improvement
and restoration for the invalid,
in the pare and invigorating at
mosphere ; and the wonderful
health restoring -irtues -of these
celebrated mineral waters, and
last but not least,-man v beauti
ful blushing maidens, from all
over North Carolina and Ya.,
whose bright eves and bewitch
mg smiles have made captives
of many young and handsome
gents. Amon the sterner sex
we have worth v and distin-
v
guished members of the bar,
medical and commerci tl pro
fessions. But I must tell vou
of a trip to foore's Knob and
Cascade yesterday at 1 o'clock
a party of four gentlemen and
three ladies (among whom I am
was two of Jieids-
cille's fair and one 'equally at
tractive lrom Jamestown, iS. C.)
started to k'MooreV Knob" a dis
tance of five miles from Piedmont,
determined not to be outdone bv
previous parties, bat to -have as
good time as possible. .'The . as
cant of course was slovr for as it
turned out to be five of us who
had never been up, the route was
very steep, rocky, and winding,
with many trees fallen across, al
though we did not go near any
Irish clift's, vt the path was so
dangerous in some places that a
fall of one of the horses might
have met with serious consequen
ces, -several t imes it was 'necessa
ry to dismount, llow shall 1 des-i
cribe the scenery and a trilling
feeling arising lrom penetrating
a dense forest'; to do them justice
would require Ihe efforts of one
who could weild the pen with a
more masterly hand than I.
Here the Balsam and Spruce
pine grow in great abundance,
looking 'foesh and green, which
stands as silent sentinels oi a for
est that has not vet succumbed to
the blow of the- woodman's axe.
Upward and upward the mounted
party went, breathing a purer air
experiencing a cooler atmosphere
and riding over a more difficult
path than during the llrst half of
the ascent. Such was the scenery
and with many a "shriek . fro jn the
timid"1 we reached the top. And
now what a scene was presented
to the eye? how grand? how won
derful in extent? how unnotori
ous. "Who. shall describe it? oh!
for a poet to describe it. Innumer
able peaks, sileiit sentinels for
untold centuries, speak to mor
tals tell whence ye came and what
your destiny. Thou father of the
Allegaiies,'that containest with
in thy bosom the mortal remains
of the honored and unforgotten
dead, dost thou in all thy unmeas
.u red mass hold a burden more
precious! As I gazed from the
rugged height, (which caused the
'"timid to shriek".) 1 breathed a
sigh to think in soolh that my own
"home sweet H03IE," was 2700 ft.
below me. Here too we can see
in the vallev 20uO feet below as

when the whistle blows or the

heard the agonized cries of a

he found Cherry's two oldest

The body of the poor victim
was covered with terrible
wounds inflicted by the hot -iron
which had also. been? thrust
