before breakfast The living tide hows back. We
enter the long eating room and ind tables capable
Of seating 200 people rapidly filing up Among
other excellent viands we get rolls biscuit and
butter, which for their delicacy and sweetness
could net be eXceed.
Again, about 9 o'clock the regular out of-door
life begins Nurses and children, beaux and bellies
old men and women, common people and people
of distinction, all disperse themselves The tables
near the fpring are furnished with the Indian
wares, and the artisans-not always Indians-ply
their trade near by; while ladies who have fancy
for il bring their crochet and netting to the seats
