On the romantic banks of that
classic stream Jone s Falls, on which

is a temple OF the muse, A bridge
crosses the stream, and at the south
west corner of this bridge this temple
erects its head, Of classic architecture,
OF beautiful proportions, with balco-
mics looking upon the dimpled waves
beneath. Here nightly the votaries
gather, to indulge in all the delights
of their charming circle. A sholt

rich parents, educated in books but
not in the world, stood upon the bridge
watching the waving currents as they
rolled onward to the sea, when slowly
