from His Pen.
My DEAR LOCAL We had the
good fortune to attend party given
on the evening of the 10Th ult. at
the residence of Mr.. Thomas Fogg.
Having donned our best trunk
clothes, we seated ourself behind
two of Col. Jackson's fiery chargers
and turned our faces southwark.
After a delightful ride through one
of che most beautiful and produc-
tive portions of old Giles. We soon
reached the pleasant and thriving
village of Aspen Hill, the home of
our genial friend James D., who
took us in, but we forgive him.
After refreshing the inner man with
wee drop of Jim's mvigorating
cordia.s, we started for the resi-
dence of Mr.. Fogg, feeling pecu-
llarly amiable towards oul self and
the rest of mankind. AS we drew
near, the notes of the violin, joyous
and light, like bubbles, burst forth
on the warm summer night. We
were warmly welcomed by that
prince of hosts who, with his esti
mable lady, extended his character
istic hospitality. The dance had
just begun, and those who did not
wish to dance were either on the
promenade or had taken their places
at the card table. Such a scene
was hardly one IN which those who
are silent about their age and who
use hair dye would take much pleas
ure. yet some middle-aged, sober
people were there, people who have
been considered good looking in
their day but not TO be compared |
to the handsome youths and bud.
ding beauties that are growing up
around them and taking their places |
in The dance, the moonlight walks
and the delicious pastime of love
with its pleasures and its
pains so real and yet so imaginary. /
But it would be a wintry heart in
deed that would not warm under
the influence of the bright smiles of
the belaced and bemuslined fairies
that thronged the parlor upon that
evening.
Among the enchanting throng Of
giders was Miss Willie r., a regal
brunette, whose loneliness and grace
was the theme of universal admira-
ton. She is sylph in form, seraph
in voice, a goddess in grace and
lady in all true loneliness. Misses
H. and Matte A, two bewitching
with lustrous eyes, who
add to the beauty Of person the most
beautiful accomplishment that can
adorn the mind. Miss Ada r., one
Of the ''fairest of the fair with
lovely eyes where mirth and mis-
chief dwell. She always formed
The center of an admiring group.
Miss Jennie W, always pleasant
and strlkingly stylish in costume.
Miss M, a graceful and winning
young lady, whom several of our
party was anxious to meet, but the
Junior member seemed to claim her
for his own lat least for that eve
ning), and was so happy we could
not find it in our hearts to disturb
him. Miss Gertrude F., very at
5ractive and entertaining, with grace
and elegance. Miss Mollie r. made
glad the hearts of her friends by
lending her smiles to the occasion.
She was faultlessly attired. Miss
Tennie S, fair in complexion with
a wealth of dark brown hair and
lovely voice, when she sang:
at came o'er my ear like the sweet south,
Taht breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odor."
Were it admissible where there
was such a galaxy OF beauty, we
would award the blue ribbon to this
young lady for the elegance of her
tout ensemble" Every one who
las attended a party like this knows
is very difficult to particularize,
1ut we must be pardoned for men
Joining those ladies who especially
attracted our attention. At a fash
enable hour the company were in
yited to partake of ice cream and
,ake that would have pleased the
most fastidious taste, after which
hey merrIly tipped the light fan
astic until the bright streaks of
morn gave timely notice that the
best of friends must part and that
oys at best are but heeting dreams,
erving through time, as the bright
)ow in the cloud, to cheer one on.
t was with reluctance we babe
.dieu to our kind friends, with
many wishes that we might often
IN similar occasions meet again. ,
We have extended this communica- {
ion to too great n length and will
ak your patience no longer. More {
