night the Judge had some friends into his room
and opened a bottle of brandy for them. After
they had left, he put his bottle, more than half

and the cork out. A few moments after, dis

his friend, 'Irl bet (hic) put that bottle away

looked, and sure enough found his vaiise sat,-

This being q story too good to lose, went the
rounds Of the place.
On Monday morning at very early hour
again, as on Sunday, George, was up catching
the worms" This day passed of without
much deviation from the day before. The men
bOwled and played billiards; some Of the fair

and beside faster men. George, Ned and Jack,
to q reasonable extent, joined in the sports, and
during the day descanted upon the beauties Of
the week day attractions. They were now
satisfied that the place should only be visited
on week day, which say ing soon passed into
proverb through the company. A shower
came up In the afternoon, and drenched the
place with copious foods Of rain. In the midst

spring, and had . delightful shower bath, but

nomed-and

was in jolly good hamor, but very bilious, as
usual In moment out came his tongue, with

The Judge generously offered to stand treats

declared sane, and cocktails ordered for the
party. In the afternoon. George, Jack and
Ned invited party into their rooms, and spent
most Of the day in playing cards-all in an
innocent way, Of course. The cards were kept
up till tea time, when some went OF to dance,
to firt, and promenade.
After tea the band entered the ball room and
the company whirled in the may dance till
their wearied limbs refused to do further duty.
Our heroes enjoyed this mnch; but haying all

refuse all introductions to ladies' although Sc

were content to be spectators only. The ball

were looking into the bali room, and they all
examined bis tongue, and oil agreed that he
was bilious, at which he appeared satisfied.
George, through the giddy throng, wore his
huge hunting and fshing oversuit," emitting
very democratic figure alongside the starch,
cologne and br0adcloth which surrounded him.
Soon midnight arrived, when the ball room was
darkened, and its ornaments Of a few moments
before at rest, leaving George. Jack, Ned, the

fairs Of the day. Another council Of war"
was held, and o resolution passed-to 60 home in

bilding farewell to the place, it was agreed to
take "a quiet drink" oil round. This led to an.

through the honors Of the barroom, which left
the company in very good humored condi-

When the friends bid each other good night,
and George, Jack and Ned started for their
quarters in The .'old colony" they resolved
they would not leave the place without giving
the lovely Pbiladelpkann parting serenade.
