Al. Dounan another OF our patty, who
sits by himself, as if hungry, but his exit
from the table is like unto that of al ex
press tram. DR.. and Mrs. Cunningham
sit at the end of our table, Dan List

with apparent relish One by one do the
passengers rnsh out; each unlucky one
provoking laugh and the remarks
There goes another" How long can
we stand thl,? Surely but u
little while remains Tor Us,
We must follow suit sooa.
We four seek the deck again. On my
way up | met Miss Belle NJ, and she,
too, is used up. Raising her eyes Ian
guldly and without color to her cheek,
says, 81 wish had the man who wrote

could. On, is this not awful2 She
knows; don't yet. Our pastors wife,
sympsthzIng with the sick, gently
smooths the brow OF al aged lady, who
is unable to hold up her head, but the
lady, poor woman, could not contain her
self, and that which had other purposes
and place, was found close by. 1t WAS
the last of the csmel's load, and Mrs. &.
hastily found her room and desired not to
look at these skies until later Sabbath
evening. She had IL very bad, imagine.
DR. q. stands by, inhsIing the braclng

being sleepy and feels slight

soon be out; - they were in two days.
AMI now Dan and | are left alone. All
OF our party are used up We look ut
each other IN n kind OF wonder. The
rain comes down in little drlzzle
Gathering our gum coats around us
with - very unsteady gai. We rush along
the deck- Not over twenty OF all on
bosId are to be seen. a few stick to
their ship chairs, rather taking the storm
than endure the suting and heated air
below. Dinner at five o'clock; fonni
but few present. We two have taken
every meal, and think it very strange
that we have escaped, for had expected
to be among the first to yield, but 50 far
have not been victims. Gradually the
sick emerge from their rooms; the tables
are all filled, and we are amusing our
selves in one way or another.
The amusements on snip board are
quit simple, and you would say only tit
tor children This is true, and yet our
company Is so devoid of formaIity and all
mingle with each other, with such great
fre edom, tnat it engenders disposition
to do anything to please your neighbOr.
and so it matters no. Whist is proposed,
all fail in, except perhaps few cd
barnaCles who are ever contrary and to
be found among all classes of people.
Shutllsboard is y iavOrite game what the
boys would call hop-skotch except the
blocks are pushed into the squares by
paddle three or four feet long. Then we
pitch quoits. ring coil, &c. This even
ing, after being shut up in the cabin all
day BY the rain and storm, we gather on
deck, and you may see merry
CUP gliding through the figures
OF an Old fashioned Virginia
reel, with no music, save such as the
ladies can sing, caring not Ms they swing
partners il the lurch of the vessel pitches
them TO the railing Tired of this, we
have game OF fox and geese and rev.
erend dIvines and sedate professors chase
the girls around with IS much pleasure
AS the lad of but a few years, and then
we seat ourselves around on the deck,
and some one starts ADO as | do, and

DR. Youmans, q gentleman of fine

Mrs c. was ore Of the witnesses, and
stood the ordeal finely. Her evidence
went far to scquit the prisoner, although
the Judge chsrged the jury that the
prisoner. who is verv handsome man,

not only with her but al the ladies of
the jury. lntmstlng thst if ne WAS cleared
