mems clothing. "Whatin thunder" he
muttered to himself, "does this mean p
Is the place turned around, or am | era
zy?" In the greatest perplexity he took
up one article Of feminine apparel after
another to the number of about thirty let
ting one after another drop again upon
the rock where he stood, with many a
half-audible ejaculation of wonder. There
was no doubt in his mind as to whom
the things belonged, but how did they
get there, and where were his own clothes ?
With one arm akimbo, he pressed his
other hand upon his forehead to collect his
bewildered sense, little thinking that the
mischievous elf who was the author of his
embarrassment was laughing at him from
behind the sand-hill.
After few moments Of hesitation, the
gentleman shouted to his lady-love the
awkward intelligence, and in return was
informed that his clothes lay at her
feet. All that was to be done was
to exchange the lots; but how, in the
name of delicacy, was that consumma-
ton, so devoutly wished to be effected p
The sun was now down, but it was not
dark yet. Finally, it was arranged that
the lady should venture into the water,
with her eyes seward, while the lover
should exchange clothes and return to his
side Of the rock.
Unfortunately, just as he was about to
cut around to the other side to perform
that duty, he caught sight of a couple Of
young ladies not far off and he felt COM
PEELED to retreat precipitately to his place
again. His discounted companion would
have then come out hastily and called to
the ladies for their help, but they were
distant, and between herself and them she
saw boy passing along. To cut the story
short, the peculiarly unpleasant predi-
cament" lasted until the young lady felt
it necessary, to save herself from being
chilled to death, to attire herself in her
lovers clothing He, on his part, put her
garments to the same use for his own ben
eft, and pretty good fit it was; for the
friends were about of a size, and but for
the discrepancy of full beard he might,
in less dusky light than then prevailed,
have passed for a lady. 1t was his inten-
ton, in some way or another, he hardly
knew how, to rectify the matter imme-
diately; but when he had ventured to re-
join his laughing and blushing sweetheart,
he saw the mischievous boy little dis
tanced ,off,with a grin on his impish coun-
tenance, closely watching their motions.
Quickly putting handkerchief to his face
to conceal his tell tale beard, the gentle
man took the ladys arm, and they saun-
tered on the shore until it was dark, then
entered the hotel as privately as possible,
and making the best Of their way to their
respective rooms lost no time in donning
more appropriate habilments.

DIFFERENCES.

The king can drink the best of wine
So can L;
And has enough when he would dine
So have !
And cannot order Rain or Shine
Nor can
Then where's the difference-let me see
Betwixt nv lord the king and mep
Do trusty friends surround his throne
Night and day?
Or make his interest their own Z
No, not they.
Mine love me for myself alone
BLESSED be they!
And that's one difference which | see.
Betwixt my lord the king and me.
Do knaves around me lie in wait
To deceive,
Or fawn and Aatter when they hate,
And would grieve
Or cruel pomps Cypress my state
By my leave?
No Heaven be thanked! And here you see
More difference 'twixt the king and mel
He has his fools, with jests and quips,
When he'd play;
He has his armies and his ships
Great are they,
But not child to kiss his lips,
Well-a-day
And that's a difference sad to sec
Betwixt my lord the king and me.
| wear the cap and he the crown
What Of that ?
| sleep on straw and he on down
What of that ?
And he's king and Pm clown
If happy l, and wretched he,
Perhaps the king would change with me
