Mr. J. q. BENNETT -
When last wrote you from this place in October,
promised to write again in February, and l am
here again just in time to keep my word.
i found things going on very pleasantly the
young people have been enjoying themselves very
snow enough they think, but have managed to do
without il, by making morel fun within doors.
was glad to find the ladies looking as smiling and
appearing as happy as usual, aud was particularly
pleased to receive the same warm grasp of the
hand which spoke q sincere and honest welcome
Commend me TO those warm kind souls who, when
they receive friend or stranger, welcome him in
no dubious manner, but extend 10 him the welcome
hand, and show by their department that they are
rends indeed and max e him to feel almost at home
was highly amusedto find that my communica-
ton in October was credited 10 another person
They thought il was ayoung gentleman " no Glanced
to be he!e at the same lime that was, who was en-
gagged in law suit which came off at the October
term. That communication occasioned quite an cx-
citement, as II was the first, they said, which had
spoken OF Auburn at all; and who is Romeo! was the
all absorbing question for a fortnight. That the
aio csaid young gentleman was THE omeo, all the
young lawyers said, because they saw hlm writing
in the court house all one cay; but whether he was
writing the particulars OF the trial in which he was
interested in letter writing, Opponents could not
state My particular friends, MIR. b, and Mr.. G :,
took dreadful oath that he was the man; Mr. Ii.
said he would like to white him to chips, and Mr.
e. declared he would crack chestauts till the crack
of doom If he pleased The ladies' (bess their pretty
eyes) did not know to whom to credit it; some were
for this one and some for that and rather
suspected that the lawyers were right. They did
not like to have their initials in newspaper, but the
rest of the communication they could not object
bat they would like 10 know " hat gentleman had
discernment enough to appreciate their society so
much, that they might exit nd to him their ndness
still more. One young lady spoke t. me about the
matter the other night; and wheH she closed with
30, how l wish knew who Romeo was," she
looked up so sweetly, with her large dark eyes full
OF expressions that was strongly tempted to throw
myself at her feet and declare my self the Romeo,
and taking lbe.ty with the immortal Shaks pea,e,
cxclaim,
oh! that | were tress upon that cheek,
That might linger thore forever"
Well, another has had all the credit of my pro.
ductions in letter writing, and roam about here,
"pencilling by the way and wond ering if shall
ever be here again; hope within myself, that |
may be here in midsummer, for know it must pos
tuse OF nature" is spread out in all ITS iovelness
when the sweet lily Of the valley, the Daffodil the
Pink, and the Rose, all lend their sweet fragrance
10 the air and speak in silent eloquence to the
kind care Of his Creator, and seem to say, He who
clothes us in all our beauty, will he not care for
ysu? Who does not love flowers? What a de.
iishtful and instructive knowledge it is, to know
tie peculiar nature, and parts Of each Of those
sweet things, spread cut with ibe:al hand by kind
ture, 10 charm our eyes with their delicate tints
I'D wonderful structure, and delight our senses
viii their grateful odor. How charmingy one Of
e0r modern poets has described the culture Of
flowers; hear him
"sdll, gentle LAZY, cherish lowers
