Across the water were the Palisades, crowned by the ugly framework of the amusement park yet soon it would be dusk and those same iron cobwebs would be a glory against the heavens, an enchanted palace set over the smooth radiance of a tropical canal.
Finding memory a treacherous guide while searching for these hidden treasures, I have called upon my comrades to aid me in clearing away the dust and cobwebs, the accumulation of years, but only in a few instances have they responded. I shall here relate one incident of the battle of Chickamauga never before published, but which is true in every particular.
"Good!" said I, and tossed him a shilling. "What's this 'ere for?" he enquired. "The exercise you have afforded me; it has done me good, chased the dusty cobwebs from my brain, stimulated more healthy thought.

O Heavens, had one but seven-league boots, to get across that inane country, a bottomless whirlpool of dust and cobwebs in many places; where, at any rate, we had so little to do!
Echoing and reëchoing through his soul each day are the words of the little chap, "He wuz good to me, he wuz," and acting vicariously for the little fellow he touches the lives of other unfortunates as the hours go by and brings to them sunshine and hope and courage. And he must needs have Tiny Tim, also, to banish the cobwebs from his soul with his fervent "God bless us every one."
"But I'll bring her in and she can tell you, herself, what she wants." "Oh, Uncle Wiggily!" cried Mother Goose, as she set her broom down in one corner, for she never went out unless she carried it with her. She said she never could tell when she might have to sweep the cobwebs out of the sky. "Oh, Uncle Wiggily, I am in such a lot of trouble!"
