Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1855-06-14

Young ladies, growing up in The world o
fashion, model themselves after her. Ole
we beg their psrdon-ms,ure ladies, hes
ilsie not to initiate her closely. Young
men, connoisseurs, pronounce her Q spIen.
d,J woman, and her husband lucky fel'
low; and The pair never entered a ball
room together wilhou. producing a sensa'
,ion. ..... IS ..
She is bold in open contest, skilful in tao.
tics, placid in Triumph, end graceful in de.
feat. She has mind for manGuvring, an
ear for scandal, on eve for The aulls nd frail-
ties Of her friends, aud hand for her hus-
bands purse.
The elder Miss ChessIebury, jus, Sc ven
teen bv the family geueslopy, has lately fin
ished her education, and has bu.ierf1ied, or,
as ,ha, process is termed among the insec cts
Of fashionable life, has "come out" this
winter. The younger Miss Chesslebury is
s,ill in chrysalis q. bonrdIng-school.-
Both of them sing little, plav li'le, dance
lit,le, and misunderstood French a good
deal. There is also, in the family, young
Master Chessebury, already mentioned iD
these pages. But young masters are Of no
account in The fashionable world. OF him,
more hereafter.
This comprises The whole Of the list and
gives you, sir, what many young genlle-
man would give his head, aye. and a good
deal more Than that is worth, to obtain :;
namely personal introduction to the Ches
slebury family.
Then we have picture Of
THE TEMPERANCE MEETING
There was few moments delay before
speakers could be induced TO come forward.
Blu. q. length, in response 10 call from the
chair, Colonel WIIick, The same gentleman
whose vinegar was al en- early stage Of this
history experimen,alIy compared by Des-
con FIcksom with the article sold under
lha. name BY Gregory Donoe, and who
more lately attained q miilsry elevation, a.
rose TO address The audience.
Colonel Willick, standing up, spit and
put his hands into his pockets looking very
earnestly and in,en,Iy al The floor, spit end
half seated himself agains! the corner of
The desk behind him, and then spoke as fol-

aflerwsrd, raising in grea. haste, and h''Ing
bis knee under the desk.
s.Mr. Chesslebury," said Mr.. Moderator,
bowing benignsn,ly to Jason.
Jason had been So much encouraged bv
the success " hch attended Colonel WIllIck's
effort, tina, nc Immediately determined upon
es.aying speech himself. He had, indeed,
already risen thrice with ,hs, view, but bad
been each time forestalled in his purpose OF
Obtaining the floor by other speakers, which
was the occasion of his present hss!e. Hr
now found himself somewhat disconnected
bv The verv readiness with which the op-
por.uni,y TO speak was awarded him. So
he ssd again:

sir, particularly when they're short. BU,
