PART 2-K. OF 1.-The sun Of last Saturday the 18th
inst, as he lesped from his watery bed and shone forth
with the splendor which has made his mans synonomons
with light, looked down upon the hamlets OF this locality
within the WALL Of which were ensconsed In sweet sium-
Der the forms Of many other sons whose bcarning and
shining countenances would form the foreground IN Q
tableaux, the finale Of the picnic at Pauoa Valley. The
usual hour for the dispensations 10 be issued having ar
rived, the demurrers at the former proceedings having
again arranged themselves in line, and eight new appli-
cants, whose claims required notice. having been Joined
to the host, His Honor ommenced the Introductory exer-
cises by recounting the deeds that had brought them 70
his notice. All heard In respectful silence the story OF
what had occurred after the camp followers " the
knightly host had crossed the Jordan. and only two Il
poor man and a richer son Of anotherl raised their voice
in objection to having their names enrolled among those
whose honorable % deeds and dignihed language during
the progress of the games had brought them notoricty.
His Honor heard with bowed head the objections. and
after communing with his advisers concludedt 10 allow 2
these two compstriots TO depart devoid of even \ passing
notice. Others too departed. buttheir exit was more dig
nihed, and besides they did not forget 20 tender 70 the
Deputy Marshal various tokens Of their esteem and
regard. AS these last were disappearing from view ro-
marks were passed by jealous brothers. Of a more sable
hue, the gist of which, translated from the syriac into
English, was " If that air white trash HASN'T q coined we
yere knights wud had more glory" This latter Ian
mage broke the spell that seemed 20 bind his Honor. and
he with most majestic and awe inspiring air and manner
spoke: {" Remnant OF a ~knightly host" said he. "your
deeds have proven naught when thus your silly tongues
run loose. We called them trash, and do We well to cali

gentlemen? Have not their deeds shown but too true

the road to fame may ope to you, but now no glory waitp
you go from my presence and when you come again
bring better proofs your deeds are worth reward" And
so he ended, and stepping from the dias, disappeared.
The others too retired and soon a solemn stiffness hung
around the ancient hall, and as the radiant sun shown I'm
a broken window pane the light showed no more sons,
but glistened ON the silver, heaped on heap, the offerings
of the noble few whose deeds had brought them dnes.
