CIS was Uu'HuIly uteSt III SO"Hu
of caliker, with wide yallar and lite purple
maroon cullered stripes running crss-cross
awl over it. Tew or three greece spots in
front showed fine changeable mired cutler.
& spect this is why sum of the fellers call
ed her ''Grecian nimE") She had beaus
of pink and yallar ribbin awl round the skirt
Of her dress, but none above her waste, as
she said she would never have beau round
her neck-in company! As, gliterng in
her newly secured brass rings, boosum pins,
and neck Iaces, she waddIed about the room
or glided round in the hazy dance, one
would almost believe ii was her ilIustrious
and beautiful namesake, once more descend
ed from Mount Idea to charm and dazzle
mankind!
Miss Peggy Pr, dressed in a silver
gray brigade, trimmed with bland lace, with
a camel in her hair, attracted much notice.
Mrs. Jerushy L-g, in dress of in
visible blue everlasting, with her husbands
dickey (sum say she wears her husbands
''I-dassant-tell-ye's" tew,) starched so stiff
that she could not turn her head without
turning round, presented very stately ap-
pearance.
Miss Hebe Jewno K-n, dressed in a
Japanaca, of a ground cutler, spotted awl
over with yalar, crimson and scarlet spots,
with her beautiful hair floating in curles
around her lily-whi,e neck like sea weed
round a clam, and the freckles on her face
appearing like wheat bran scltered on a
snowbank, rivaIled in appearance the most
butiful Of awl Hardscrable's buty.
Miss A. P. Minerva J-ks, the TIardscra-
bic poe'ress, appeared as unusually so, at
traclin all eyes by her Intellectual buty.-
Her high forred, jest shaved, her large
dreamy eye, heI flaxen hair Aoa,n in care
less negljay, her compleet abandonment Of
manner, awl expired TO her that toot ong
saacmble Of appearance which is our beau
ideal Of Poetress. She was attired in a
loose red flannel dress, bound at the waste
with lennon cullered sash. A wide white
collier turned over la Byron, gave her a
very reshershay look. In fact. words can
give but faint idea of her dress, manner
and appearance. (Mistur Hurraw, Miss A.
P. NJ. J-ks understands French, and she
rote that for me, as she said it is '.as they
dew in Bos,in.')
Mrs. Ambrosia Angellsa S-d-e,a a witch
in "widdur" Of twenty-five, Twenty five
gears, not twenty-five men, on account of
the recent death Of her favorite rooster, ap-
2eared in half mourning-a white dress
trimmed with black beaus.
But space forbids my ascribing any more
Of the fair sect. Among the survereigns,
Captain Hezekah S-d-e was most con-
spcuous. His cote was of the last fashun
de had heern how swallow-taiI coats were
the fashun, and so had his all primed over
with swallows tails. lie wore his fathers
l-dassunt-lell-yes, but as his father was a
short man, and he tall they were a zeeHe
short, but he had confined them down with
tow string straps. His YES. was of Iigh,
red purple cutler, s:,he bare immeterIaIs'' Of
which cost nine and six pun,s His huge
red whiskers formed fine contrast ,ew
his beautiful slnash,aters, died skv-green
cutler, like the mould of an ancient cheese.
The Caplin's debut made decided impress
sion.
i'm J-ks, Esq, was much admired for
his striking looks. He said the Captain
was mistaken about the last fashion. Sual-
low-taIled, he said, is misprintfor shalzoac-
tailed, and SO he had his cote tail s:narrow-
ed down tew pint" and reachn almost
tew The floor. Rumor says he is about ,ew
lead the bu'ful and accomplished Miss V.
M. b., the bell of the evenin, tew the halter
As soon as Aurorar had galvanized the
eastern sky with cote of gold, Square N o.
sem called the assembly tew order, and said,
as celebration of the glorious ''Fourth Of
July,'' for which our fathers fawt, bIed and
died years before we were born, he would
read poem on the Revolution, by Robert
W. Lands. The Square said it produced
an orful effect, for awl the time he was read
in the house was still as death. (Belween
yeou and me, Mistur Hurraw, we every bug
gerd one Of us was sound asleep awl the
time he was readin.) As soon as he was
done, the folerin was read, which brawt
down torrent of applaws. (The fair au-
'hor kindly gave me kawpy.)
LINES,
Inscribed TO Robert W. Landis by Miss A. p Miner
"a J., Of Hardscrable.
Immortal Lands, hail Around thy name
Iwlnes the bright wreath ofever during fame.
Hail to the favored land that gave thee birth,
By thee distinguished DER the lands of earth!
And honored be the paps which thou hast sucked,
And blest the lips whose kisses thou hast plucked
Hadst thou but lived when gray-haired Time was
young
When Orpheus tuned the Tyre and Muses. sung,
Ondone bv thee, Apollo'd lost his trade,
The Muses. beat, and Marsyas neer been fiayed
When Homer, Virgil, Milton are forgot,
And Dryden, Campbell, Pope remembered not
When Byron, Scott and Moore are all unknown,
And Shakspeare's with the moss of Time DER
grown
When Burns has faded from the minds of men,
Thou wilt be known and read-and not till then
The company now retired, awl delighted
with the festivities of the occashun.
Yours, not SO long next time,
JERUSALEM jerks
