the poorest; there is no choosing places, If
you sleep on the east side the first night YOU
need not cast YOUR eye on the bed at the west
side the next night, just because it looks like a
softer place, for You are booked for the other
side till the trip is over. We gol 50 used to
being wet that we rather liked It. Our feet
were wet and cold, and felt like a couple of ice
cream ireczerS slung to the end Of our legs
When we arrived at the foot of the lake we
asked Walker of the Eyelcth House to throw 4
| couple OF pals Of water into oar bed 50 we
| could sleep well. Our route home was by
stage from Grcenyile to Dexter We sat on
the top of the Stage and cnioycd The ride and
the scenery, and thought what fine country ii
was for IA boy who cnioYcl Sliding down hill
We arrived at Dexter at the latter part Of the
afternoon, just d~ The sun was setting and the

the Merchants Exchange kept by l.. II. HAYES,

had been in the woods ten days, and knew
nothing about Ohio politics AMI cared less

one dollar more than we had, 50 lowering his
voice almost to Il whisper he mcekly said, "Give

come with his sense Of poverty. Arriving nj
Burnham we threw ourselves on the Kindness
OF Conductor Mace. who trusted ITS for oar ride
home. Thus ended our ramble to Mooschcad
Lake. As Mr.. Lincoln said about a book he
once read 50 we can SAY of this trip, ''l any
body likes such trip, It's Just the kind ot 4 trip
he Will like" If our readers have rot any in
formation out Of our sketches we are sorry, and
trust they Will forgive Us. We have tried to
avoid being dashed TO pieces on the rock of
truth, and hope we have succeeded. BY send
