and YOU have wished Ms your little boy

ideas to your mind, why, stay at home,

you have shaken OIL the dust OF travel,
and quenched the sparks which the
brightness OF your eyes have attracted,
survey The scenery, and tell me your

gods, and consequently cannot have ev-
cry thing that we desire. Groups OF
children are playing on the piazzas, and
parties OF sirollers are enjoying the
pleasant coolness OF summers even

You would be pleased to sleep well
after your days ride; and if you are not
awakened by the songs of the "Chinese
Brothers, the "Gongologians," or the
"Brandon Serenaders," your repose will
be continuous and refreshing. But wo
be unto you, If the case should be other

the thousand and five verses of the
BATTLE OF the Nile or heard the mel
ody OF the Frog who "sat on a cold
stone, and fondly hoped that when thus
much had been sung, that the conclusion
would shortly follow but the end was

the execrable Peace-breakers, ,baby-wak-

iierated the opera Of the "Dying Cat"
from its Alpha TO IFS Omego, from lis
Genesis even unto its Exodus. But we
will allow that you have slept all night,
and that after breakfast you are look
ing around for something TO do. The
rolling and clicking noise which you
hear, accompanied with the sound OF
merry voices, are evidences that parties
! are engaged at bowling and billiards.

Well then, where will you go' Here
are pleasant woods which invite you 10
their cool vistas, and there are lofty
mountains whose submits lure you with
