Prospect.

Perhaps it would be best to tell
you frankly in the beginning that
this communication will prove dry
and uninteresting, for Sans Souci
has hardly recovered from the
sumner which our Mutual
Friend" dealt her last week. I'm
questionably all great men have
their little foibles; Alexander got
drunk, you know, Antiochus did
the same, from Cleopatratra's eyes,
and dressed, or rather the reverse,
as Bacchus, to please her; Aeneas
consulted sibyls; Macmillan died
of too much melon, and others of
too much melancholy, and in the fag
end of the 10Th century, our Gnu
tual Friend" is guilty of the anna
BILE but corrupting little weakness
of f1attering such a youthful per-
sonage as he evidently takes s.
Souci to be. Bear i an. .,Ils
.loIs very easy matter
20 turn a young, unsophistIcated
girls head by such a course-Gn
easy matter to "take her in" and
you know
"Of all hard things to bear and grin,
The hardest is knowing you're taken in
l don't think she relishes the idea
of standing in a "dead mans shoes
"a shoe that doesn't fit is apt to be
uncomfortable. Then, being young
her mind, perhaps, is not quite rid
of the impression made by nursery
tales concerning dead men, "raw
head and bloody bones," ETC.; and
again, she feels like Il usurper
Please don't talk of her standing in
dead mans place. Ugh!
Moralists may abuse this much
illuminated world as they will, but
solitude and her high p-iest-Ennut
have generated more evils than
ever followed in the wake of tho
hydra-pleasure. I've been alone
mot in my glory, however, three OF
four days, and even in that short
time have grown extremely suspi
cious, if not misanthropical. May
be ] should have made my best
"curtsy" and said "thankee kindly
SIR" in the meekest, most Obliged
manner possible for the proiuse
compliments of our Mutual Friend
taking for granted that twas all
fair play-no irony beneath the po-
lite phrases.
Well, our Club is still on the
tapis; however, there viii be meet
ing Tuesday night for the purpose
of organizing.
We are all delighted to see the
charming, captivating Miss Marie
II. back again. This little "heart-
smasher' is always sure of a warm
welcome here. Hope she will re.
main a spell" with us before re
turning to her home in Fayetteville
/ don't think the crops are seri-
ously damaged, Notwithstanding the
quantity of rain with which mother
earth has been recently deluged
The farmers seem to be in good
spirits, and don't fuss very contin-
ually about the extravaganza Of the
women That is why we judge the
crops are pretty satisfactory. MOI
being one of the "lords of creation
l don't profess to know anything
about such things. 1t is considered
quite out of our sphere.
The male portion Of our popula
ton continue to assemble on the
hill, there to discuss and "cuss, %

and other hot-beds of self-worship

ship they queen it right royalty
they are entreated to become some
mans guardian angel, over his life
presiding, his pleasures doubling
his cares dividing. After the knot
is tied, he too frequently regards
her just the other way-his eareJ

Mutual Friend is convinced that be
