The word is "go." This is a geine
world; moving, changing, shifting from
point to point and thing to thing; we are
satisfied no where, and only contented te
the full measure of our hearts liking
when, according to ancient and honorable
custom we lie, six feet due east and west
The great misfortune with considerably
more than one half the world, is, that Ego
ing" it knows not where to, and what for
and when we get at one place, we have
hardly time to calculate the latitude and
longitude, before we are blindly off again
in an opposite direction, without the bear
ings Of the point we start from; and hence
it is, we are even laundering about in the
moving panorama lost-positively lost sir.
All things ready this morning, was off as
appointed, and have landed safely here at
Greenwell-snuffing the fresh country air,
and feeling much as any in the country at
liberty. Every Iman's eye is wide open,
when the question is asked shows the
sickness in tovn?n And it matters little
how the question is answered, for the peo-
pie will hold the same opinion still. The
country has made up its mind the: the
town is unhealthy, and that its impure air
is blowing the spark of lif. out of lat least)
fifty day. Tt is entirely. futile to try to
convince the country to the contrary, for it
stands committed.
An impression from town that there was
to be political speaking here to-day, brought
in some few of the natives; but there are
no candidates on the ground, save such as
are electioneering for popularity with the
iair sex Of which Greenwell like other
'catsrsng places has its fair proportion
There is now, about one hundred visitors
here, most of whom have come to finish
the season. The ladies predominant. We
have them from East and West Feliclana,
West and East Baton Rouge married and
unmarried Among the latter, there are
many as fair as the fairest As they fit by
me, | like to speculate-to forget for mo-
rnent the weight Of days and years On my
shoulders, and feel as one may in youth, and
call back that period when the skies are
cloudless, and the stars have poetry for us
One must be seated, and under the influ-
ence of one of Mr.. Bareases best havana's
to 60 back in imagination to the spirit land.
70 contemplate the quiet scenery-the
beautiful landscape, and the lovely crea-
lures, who give pleasing life lott, seated
myself on the pine gallery floor, of one Of
the romantic cottages, and find alas, to my
chagrin and modification that the rosin has
actually fastened me to the spot. Some
such termination, as this, has every senti- |
mental indulgence. He
At "two'' they set us down, to an excel
lent dinner-the table being, nearly the
entire length Of the DINING room-was
full. There is a ball spoken for this even
ing. In response to an invitation; Camp
Cobb, has sent word that it will be over,
with the band, and merry time is expec-
ted. Think shall set up all night and In
dulge the delight of head ache in the morn
ing
Although the weather is in melting
mood-the ladies will no doubt las usual)
be in favor OF indulging to daylight. Mo-
Iteration now is not the order of the day |
and the question again arises, do people |
dance when the thermometer points to 90
degrees, for their oscn or the amusement of
others. CO
Adieu | have brought out the Pick
wick Club, and expect to get through the
morrow safely, with the antiquarian So
