THE TENDEREST RECOLLECTIoNS.
The next evening after our return home
from the camp-meeting we adorned our
selves as much as our limited wardrobe
permitted and set out to attend reception
niven by Mrs. J*+++. to her son, who had
been recently married 10 Miss McGTTtf, OF
the neishborhood. We trust we are not
vain, but we really do think we created 8
stir amongst the beauty and aristocracy OF
Fauoyler when it was known two tramps
were present. But we got along very well
notwithstanding. We paid our respects to
the hostess and offered our congratulations
to the bride and groom very much, we
thought, as other people did. We tried to
think of something bright and smart Ia
say, but, like friend OF ours in Richmond
we couldn't think of it. We promenaded
had teie d-teteS, and went to two supper;
lust as others did, and staid TILL near
O'Clock, when we went
HOME WITH THE GIRLS IN THE MORNING.
We were certainly treated most hosplta'
bly, and we shall long be grateful to oul
hostess and her sweet, lady-like daughters
for their kindness.
When we returned to Delaplane we took
nap of three or four hours, and after Q
good breakfast set out on walk to Paris
where we proposed to Join our friend, Dir
James W. Marshall, on a iaunt to the Sig
nal Pole. the highest point in the neI ghbor
hood. AseYere storm prevailed that alter
lnosn, but next morning we set out for the
ton of the mountain, and after pleasant
walk. Of five miles,, III which we got many
pretty Views, 1--WE reached the top of thu
mountain. Welwere delighted with the ex
tensiye views we, had in every direction

clouds and low muttering Of thunder
warned us to descend. Our kind frient
returned home, and we determined to Try
bee-line for the Delaplane road. We do no
