DEAR SIR
| arrived in this lively and busting city on We'd
nesday last, and soon discovered that had been
preceded by his Satanic Hghness. who has lately
been committing fearful ravages among the faithful.
Some few weeks ago, Madame Rumor whispered
that the Rev. Mr.. L., highly celebrated Presby
teran clergyman, not content to follow the apostolic
injunction Of being "the husband of one wife,"
was altogether too frequent in his de votOnal visits
to Miss M lovely girl at the age OF sweet Is, and
VINO was then on a visit to her uncle. The watch
iul pastor was ultimately denied admittance to the
house, but so ardent and Jealous was he in the
"good cause" that he prevailed upon the young
convert to meet him thereafter in an adjoining
barn. where they might then and there eDloy sweet
converse by themselves. One of the relatives of
the young lady, being somewhat nquisltive az to
the nature ct their devOtlons, and being aware of
their place OF assgnation, secreted himself there to
be an unseen spectator OF the proceedings. What
TRANSFERRED on that eventful evening, has not yet
been dlvulged but OF one thing, however, there
can be no mistake, the reverned teacher, and his
cOnfiding pupil, who 1t is feared has been
flowing not wisely, but too WE'LL"
were next day among the missing, without any one
being able TO account Tor their abrupt and mystic
rious disappearance. In the meantime the flock is
without shepherd, and what may be the result of
this highly suspicious occurrence, time alone can
tell.
From such exhibitions of human depravity aud
delinquency in high places" let US turn to more
pleasing picture, where Innocence and pleasure,
amusement and virtue, are beautifully cOmmngled
On the day after my arrival, large party comprising
some thirty or forty of the beauty and elite of the
city, started on fishing expedition TO the Lake.
Arrived at the lake, Mr. 5. prince of good fel-
lows was first elected president, and, afterwards,
at the special request of the ladies, purveyor general
and he certainly acquitted himself in his double
and contributed highly to the enjoyment and hi
larity of the company. The day beautifully
fine, and the heat oil the sun, which, on some occa
| sions, might have been deemed somewhat oppres-
slve, served only this, 10 give an additional zest
to the sparkling champagne.
Having drawn pretty literally on the inny tribe,
comprising the usual varetes the party returned to
terra frma," and seating themselves promiscucc
| ousy on gentle knoll, under the azure canopy of
heaven, partOok OF one OF the most delicious re-
pasts, which would have even reflected credit on
mine host OF your far famed Aston House. The
viands, particularly the ice cream, were got up
under the superintendance of Mrs. S., whose anna
BILE disposition, personal charms, and domestic
qualifications, cannot be too highly extoed:
Verify in her the happy husband has eTSsI Of
divinely, but singuarly enough, whatever attitude
she might assume, she could, in no instance, cast
her shadow" behind her. Miss X. was remarka-
of teeth of pearly whiteness. Miss W**f*y and
Miss B*A*n, mingled somewhat timidly in the tes-
tvities but OF their charms, it might with truth be
said, that
"Dstance lends enchantment 10 the view"
Having thus briefly introduced few of the more
prominent bright particular stars" it may, per-
haps, be as well to give the gentlemen, or at least,
some of them, Il passing notice.
Mr. S., the President has already been spoken OF;
his friend, Mr. J. B. w did the amiaple, Eat sea-"
as we'll as land, and felt quite at home among
the ladies' On the contrary, Mr.. b. was remark
able for nothing but determination to shew HIM
self off as marksman. and very ungelantly per-
sisted in the exercise at the expense OF frightening
the ustre from many spark ling eye: Mr.. B., the
boiler maker, was so enthusiastic In his service OF
the ladies', that he denuded himself of boots and
stockings so as TO be able to rinse their champagne
glasses in the lake. Alderman b. was somewhat
iastdious in his taste. and could get nothing to suit
him until handed raw cabbage, which he speedily
cut into "cold slaugb," and can assure you was not
slow in eating it.
The fragments being collected, the horses and
vehicles got in readiness, the party returned to the
city long before
/" The shades Of evening closed around them"
highly pleased with their excursion, and forming
plans soon to get up another PIC MIC.
