serenadinp a Young Lady.

of a sereuadng adventure:
In my young days was extravagant-
ly fond OF attending parties, and some.
what celebrated for playing on the flute.
Hence it was generally expected that
when an invitatlon was extended, that
my flute would accompany me.
| visited a splendid party one evening,
and was called upon To favor the CON.
pany With q tune on the flute. /, Of
course, Immediately complied with the
request. The company appeared de.
lighted, but more particularly so was a
young lady, VIII, raised her hands and
exclaimed it was beautiful, delightful,
&c. |, of course, was highly delighted,
and Immediately formed resolution to
serenade the young lady on lhe follow
ing night. Ea.3 9dl fb og,iisra lp

With several young friends, and arrived,
as,I supposed, at the lady's Iesideoce
but made glorious mistake by getting
under the window Of an old Quaker.
