, and cleared o fertile spot-some fou
acres; and knowing. it seems, the weak
ness for ~frolics, ETC., that yonng mel
have, he gave. last Friday morning
what our country folks style a clog
rolling" We are unable to attribntt
TO any cause, why we were omitted fro II
this portion of the pleasure. Probably
our friend Guy is somewhat selfish il
this line, and thought the fewer the
better for him; or probably he took
compassion ON this frail frame of human
nature and did not wish him to make O
display OF his might power, for q mite
it Il; let the cause be what it may, Guy,
you are welcomed to our share and may
indulge in this bliss, and always have
from us-thanks !
AS old Sol stood three hours journey
above the edge of tho western waters,
the writer in company with another
happy boy-'Oheek" We will call him
and well named will he be-both well
mounted, started for the rendezvous of
our thoughts. the distance being ten
miles over a road that was completely
covered with water. Any notes on our
journey would invariably end in the ex-
clamations: "Water mud | vol what
in-the matter; she won't know me for
that mudl Quit trotting mp behind me,
you'll soil my new shoes!' etc. At six
o'clock we reached our destination; and
| Guy met us the rustic gate with as
much kindness as if we had done all
the clearing. After giving our toilet
some attention. Eve entered the well
decorated hall to wait for the ladies',
who had the ten hours previous been
impatient for the hour TO come. AT
seven O'clock the room was crowded
with smiling faces Of III numerous
beauties. We must admit that we
never have before seen a crowd-1 say
.scrowd" because we like all others
have a weakness for teauty-composed
of the fair ones with as many beautiful
ladies. The temptation proved ire
sistib!e; we{were soon busiiy engaged
in conversation, which to the satisfac-
tion OF all wls, at eight O'Clock, inter
rupted by the entrance of our host an-
nouncing refreshments. The writer
feeling sadly in need of something for
the inner-man led the way. Leaning
upon lie arms were two gentle beings
for whom we show partially. The
dining rnSam was entered and upon a
table of some thirty feet IN length was
found cakes, pastries, candies, etc, that
far surpassed, for qnaiity aud taste,
those spread upon the table at Mr..
Hayes silver wedding. Our hostess
deserves credit for the bounty spread
before us; and truly satisfaction was
hers, after seeing what quantities dis
appeared. AT nine o'clock we again as
sembled IN the hall, and at the writer's
request Mr.. Ellis entertained us with
that lively and humorous piece, Gar
kansas Traveller" Mr.. Ellis handles
the violin with Skill, and being some-
what u natural actor, the crowd was
kept in continual laughter. Following
this came the dance. which was kept up
until the Saturday Aurora made her
appearance. As we were but,oning on
our overcoat to leave. a soft apgel-like
voice reached us whispering to her
companion: That's Innocent OF the
STAR" and the sarcastic reply was,
eyes, a notorious innocent firth" Oh!
what an unjust and cutting accusation
for Us, who have time and again
welded an unmerciful quill against this
art; but
"Snch Is the'way Of life
and still man ives
The writer tenders thanks to Mr..
Ellis, lady aud the kind miss whom he
accompanied home, for the kindness
shown us ard the meaps of orr enjoy
ing an evening that will ever remain
in our memory. Friend Guy. do
not hesitate to give another such sociu-
bic party and treat us the same.
"'Twere a shame, when flowers around
us rise,
To make light of the rest, if the Myrtle
isn't there; ~ e..

eyes;
'Twere a pity to limit Bridal Roses
love to a pair"
As We were leaving another invitation
was given us to attend a party on
Thursday, t7th inst, ct Mr.. Davis. on
Davis Bayou. Your company is re-
spectfully solicited, Mr.. Editor, through
the writer. Your reporter will try and
be on hand, 50 be on the lookout for
another article. /
The Ocean Springs troubles have
somewhat quieted down, and the party
corporation have all hopes for
success. We hope the affair may be
amioably adjusted. INNOCENT.
