to another, just as inclination dictates This season

the Hudson River, and about one hundred from the

you have wish for so doing you have only to land
at barrytown, tell Burtis yeu want conveyance 10
Scraebetown and you will be taken up 10 town in
as expeditions manner as need TO be. Stop at
cranes Hotel If you want COED fare, and seat your
self upon his piazza, and you can see all the good
folks, and all that they doing The smiling young
man that just came down the street, and stands talk
ing TO Col IT, is Doctor B., full of fun and nonsense,
likes joke, and wishes every one WELL The Colonel
and he are great crones both clever alike both ad-
mirers and the admired OF the fair OF the village The
Colonel poor fellow, pity him, If all is true respect
ing his admiring so many that he don't know which
to give the preference. The gentleman that Just pass

rather sober looking child Stephen and Men, The
two you see sitting upon the stoop of the taers shop,
are models of goodness, with the exception OF one
fault of Stephen, which is an lnsenslblhy TO the

ladies' but not all. The piano you hear, is played by
young marrled lady, fond of drawing attention, and
has made herself very popular by mlmicry and ina
prudent pressons and has got long string OF ad-
mlrers by her plausible manners in the presence, and
sarcasm in the absence OF company. Who are all
those ladies' and where are they going? inquired /,
as group of pretty damsels passed down the street.
To singing school al the church. says my friend the
Docor-come let US go and see them. Very good,

filled with neatly dressed persons, who soon COM
nenced singing. And, Mr.. Editor, such melody you

you never did; at least never had before. II had
such an effect that left the church before the per-

and got snugy in bed, fully determined to give you
the earliest information possible; and as have no in
