spread in The acre; portion of was tur'

ed to the depth Of four inches, and por-

hardly disturbed either in the last years

pronounced there would be nothing OF them

10 the course Of the summer so that they
were as heavy upon the ground asifdou-

of the first families Of Virginia" and, indeed,
that the "blood OF Pocahontas''. flowed in

H WISEST.

Not many years ago, it happened that
young man from New York visited London
His father being connected with several u
the magna,es OF the British aristocracy, the
young American was introduced into tht
fashionable circles Of the metropolis, where
in consequence Of his very fine personal ap
pearance, or that his father was reported to
be very rich, or that he was n new figure on
the stage, he attracted much attention, ano
became quite the ~favorite of the ladies'
This was not at all relished by the British
beaux. but as n" verr FAIR pretext offered for
n rebuff, they were compelled 10 treat him
civlly. Thus matters stood when the Hon.
Mr.. p. and lady made a party TO accompany
them TO their country seat in Cambridge
shire, and the Au.ericon was among the in.
vited guests. Numerous were the devices
TO which these devotees of pleasure resorted
in order to kill that old fellow who will mea-
sure his hours, when he ought TO know they
are not wanted, and the ingenuity Of every
one was taxed to remember or invent some
thing novel.
The yankees are proverbially ready Of in.
v~ention, and the American did honor, to his
character as a man accustomed to freedom
Of thought. He was frank and gay, and en-
tered into the sports and amusements with
that unaffected enjoyment which communica-
ted a part of his fresh feelings to the most
worn out fashionisls in the party. His good
nature would have been sneered at by some
OF the proud cavaliers, had he not been such
a capital shot, and he might have been quiz.
zed had not the ladies', won by his respectful
and pleasant cIviIities and his constant atten-
ton in the drawing room and saloon, always
showed themselves his friends. But a com
bination was al last formed among a trio Of
dandies, staunch patrons Of the Quarterly,
10 annIhilate the American. They propo-
sed to vary the eternal evening w~altzing and
piping, by the acting of charades, and play.
ing various games, and having interested one
Of those interchangeable ladies, who always
carry their point in The scheme, it was voted
10 be the thing.
After a few charades had been disposed oil,
one Of the gentlemen begged leave to pro-
pose the game called Growing the wisest.'
This is played by seiectinga judge Of the
game, and three persons, either ladies' or gen.
Who are ~.ocontest for the crown by
answering successively the various questions
which the rest of the party are at liberty to
,sk. The one who is declared 70 have been
