The first autumn leaf at the old White, as
it falls across the hands clasped in filtration,
causes the prenonitory shiyer at the pros
pect Of the inevitable parting; and as the
scar and yellow emblem Of autumn may be
expected about next Monday, the White
Sulphur belle begins to hurry her numerous
affairs to proper contamination. Scalps
must lie firmly secured, so as to be exhibited
on the return to city homes, and all the
extra non-courting beauX must be weeded
out. The mothers OF the bellies get more
and more bothered as the season approaches
its close; for it is hard to diagnose case OF
filtration and determine whether it Will pan
out well in son-in-laW and finance.
The intentions OF the eligible young man
are not always easy to fathom, and the exact
specific gravity in greenbacks OF pro-
posed son-in.law is as uncertain as milliner-
made beauty. Several cases OF triple and
quadruple rivalry are very trying to the
rivals, very delightful to the proposed
prizes, and no end OF amusement to the
lookers-on. For one belle there is a sweep
stake, with no favorite yet observable who
could be passably good bet against the

OF pure disinterested devotion. The rest
seem to be run on that pretty sentiment laid
down by the famous miser OF Moliere, 50 II

thing remains a golden secret which all
mothers of bellies should know-viZ.: The
true and only way to discover the degrees of
happiness and success which the lovers have
attained is to look at the books Of our en-
terprising friend Delarue, wine clerk and
bar-keeper; for as certain as there is truth
in Bumgardner the number OF lovers

she is to being mother-ln-laW.
Excursions TO Kanawha Falls have been
the order for several days-a very agreeable
trip by which one may see the lovellest
panorama from the car window as the train
goes flying down the New river, along the
brink of precipices, with the mountains on
one hand and the continuous successor Of
beautiful cascades on the other.
Day before yesterday beautiful young
lady, performing the part Of Diana Yer
non to a large and delighted audience, was
suddenly hurled from the saddle by a start
OF the horse as she galloped along the lawn.
There was rush OF the hundred admiring
observers, but before anybody could pick
her up she had done it herself, and was in
the saddle and off again like the wind, with
musical, merry laugh, to give assurance Of
her safety. There were dozen other ladies
on horseback the same evening, SO that the
alarm was general, as nobody at first knew
which one 1t was. The fair heroine Of this
little adventure is one of the most beautiful
young girls ever seen at the ''Old White :"
since the little accident ON Lovers Leap, a
century or two ago, lent the potent charm
Of beauty. to the accepted legend. She has
bountiful dowery from nature Of physical
beauty, which is SO spiritualized by face
OF exquisite sweetness and musical voice
that the graces have combined to make her
really beautiful woman. The reality suS-
gests the ideal in that constant, subtle
charm which is often called magnetism, and
without which mere physical beauty leaves
only disappointment to the fnncy after the
eve has been delighted.

Der may be enjoyed here at very much re-
duced rates; and though not giyento extol

which offers special inducements to those
who wish to see the mountains at the most
beautiful season OF the year. NJ. (
