Text Appearing Before Image:
THE COURT HOUSE AT CHARLESTOWN. picture as that which opens to view here.Filmy clouds hung over the valley,touching, like a silver veil, the brow ofdistant mountains. Deep Summergreen were the meadows, lighter theSpring tints upon the hills, while highup the mountain sides Winter lingered,as if loth to leave a spot so charming. Down along the South Fork,through the Shenandoah Valley, grace-fully curves the limpid river, now near-ing the train, now rushing away to leap against the rugged base of the mountains.;grandly rise the wooded crests of theMassanutton Mountain on the west andthe Blue Ridge on the east; sweetly thegreen glades, vistaed by the openinghills, lead the eye out into quiet moun-tain vales — all around is loveliness, allabove is glorious, all within is peace.
