Of Virginia informed me that he had Tea'

from the custody Of their authorities; and,

SONG OF S RATOGA,


Pray,whal do they at the Springs!
The question is ca y to ask
But to answer it illr my dear.
We're rather a / ~ious task.
And yct, in a bant nlg way
As the magpio or nocking-bird sings
III venture bit1f song,
70 tell what d.ey n ~ the Spla gs,s
I0Primis, my darling, they drink
The waters so sparkling and clear
Though the flavor is none of the best,
And the odor exceedingly queer;
But the fluid is mingled you knew,
With wholesome medicinal things,
And they drink, and they drink, and
they drink
And that's what they do at the Springs
Then with appettes keen as knife,
They hasten to breakfast or dino,
(The latter precisely at Il rec
The former from seven to nine
Yc gods what rustic and rush
When the eloquent dinner-bell rings
Then they cat, and they eat, and they cat,
Andthat's 5 what they do at the springs!
Now they stroll in the beautiful walks
Or loll in the shade of the trees;
Where many whisper is heard
That is never told by the breeze;
And hands are commnglcd with hands,
Regardless of conjugal rings
And they Airt, and they flint, and shey
nirt--
And that's what they do at the Springs
The drawing-rooms now are ablazc,
And music is shrieking away,
TERpslcnoRE governs the hour,
And FASHION was never so gay
An arm round tapering waist
How closely and fondly it clings;
SO they waltz, and they waltz, and they
waltz
And that's what they do at the Spring.
In short--as it goes in the world
They eat, and they drink, and they
Sleep
They talk, and they walk, and they WOO
They sigh, and they laugh, and they
weep;
They read, and they ride and they dance
with other uuspeakable things;
They pray, and they play, and they pay.
And that swhat they do at the Springs
