Finding it rather dry amusement Il

Jennie TO stroll OF into the moon

a charming place, full of picturesque
little corners and rustic seats, and
great gray rocks leaning out over The
river. On one Of these latter a little
bench was placed in a nook sheltered
from the wind and from sight.
Here we sat down in the ful flcod
of the moonlight, and having just has
supper, felt wonderfully in the need
of a cigar. Accordingly, l went back
to little stand near the ballroom,

they got to ibe clear space above;
then they saw a great sight.

position, my bonnet taken off, and
my hair somewhat tangled up. One
foot rested on rock, about level
with my head (ragardless Of ankiestiis
iime,) and there | sat pulling away
in a very unlady-like style, at a
highly-lavored Couche.
Jennie was sitting close beside me,
with her head almost on my shoulder,
and her small waist almost encireled
by my ann. Just as the party came
along above Us, laughed out 10 a
bold. masculine voice.
"Jnst think Of poor--what's his
name thero-Bimby. Suppose he
