town about dusk, Mr.. K. had occasion Il
call at the mansion Of an esteemed friend
who had among other worldly possessions
two or three very fine daughters. He hae
scarcely knocked at the door when il was
opened by one of those blooming "aidens
who IS quick as thought, threw her arm'
around his neck, and before he had time
to say, a O, don'tr' pressed her warm and
delicate lips to his, and gave him rs sweet
kiss as ever swain deserved. In uttel
establishment, the worthy gentleman was
endeavoring to stammer out something,
when the damsel exclaimed, 20, mercy,

After this gentle reproof, he was usher
ed into the parlor by the maiden, who as
she came to the light, could not conceal
the deep blush that glowed upon her cheek,
while the bouquet that was pinned upon
her bosom, shook like flower garden in
an earthquake. And when he rose to de-
part, it, however, fell to her to wait upon
him 10 the door; and it may be added that
they there held discourse together for
some minutes, on what subject is not for

have been Infused into the people and the
country The same awakening effect
which follows railroads everywhere, Hex-
hibits itself throughout the entire line.
Beautiful and tasty cottages begin to clus-
ter about the stations; old Villages look
