| in reference to the late visit OF the "a
diets of the St. Johns Academy, Alex
andria, to this town:
Then we started from Harpers Ferry
for the terminus of our trip; many re-
GREETED the shortness, while perhaps
Some, at least one, was in his highest
glory, being so anxious to get back to
| Alexandria $50 much for leaving your
heart behind you.) But when we
reached Shepherdstown our spirits re-
yived upon beholding so many lovely
faces beamiug from Shepherd College,
and receiving so kind q reception. After
we had paraded the town, and had Just
broken ranks for rest, we heard the
roll, and could not imagine what was
the matter, but after we had learned
that the young ladies had requested us
to drill on their grounds, and you know
nobody objected to that. Then we re,
turned to the boat TO feast On bread ana
ham, and afterwards, we returned TO tha
town and played a match game OF ball.
There were also match games played at
IIarper's Ferry and Seneca. The young
ladies honored us with their presence,
ard, of course, we played better, and
when we became acquainted with them
we saw pleasant time. After the game
was over we escorted the young ladies
back to the college, and they kindly
showed us through the building. We
stayed so long that supper was delayed
until late, and we can say that so many
of the boys were smitten that they did
not care to cat supper, but remained I'M
til guard had 10 be sent after them.
The poor guards and the officer OF the
day had TO remain aboard. so they
missed all the fun. We can sympathize
with them and wish them more pleas
ant time hereafter After I o'clock some
of the young gentlemen Of the college
came over to the boat, and kindly IN
yited us over to hear the band play in
their grounds, but we are afraid that
many of our boys did not hear any
music at all Cat least from the band, } and
we rather think there were number OF
hearts left behind. We left Shepherds
town about 2 a. ~, bat did not reach
Alexandra until Sunday morning, owing
to many stoppages on the way, We
had very pleasant weather, with the eX-
ception of few hours Of rain, and, even
ther, the boat being weather tight, there
were no wet clothes. Bat we were so!
dicrs; nothing could hurt us so mann
mas, YOU must not be uneasy when your
little darlings are out with the Cadets,
for there is no danger of catching cold
or any thing like that, for when they are
with soldiers they mast be soldiers.
Prepare, boys, for another excursion
next year: we know that you are
sorry that it is over SO soon, even
if YOU were aroused in the midst
of your slumbers by the cruel officers,
to get up and pace the deck and guard
the commissary, where the rats, with
their squeals, kept Morpheus far away :;
and if the Doctor did seem livel y; that
is nothing, for you know boys will be
BOYS, and, as we were far away, nobody
knew anything about it. So don't be
discouraged, but think Of the pleasant
time you spent in Shcpherdstown, and
remember you may enjoy it again.
