disposition TO st up the rest of the Light,
reing c'iary of shutting i,.r eyes on such
waste Of waters The promise Of a new
bonnet and an orange grove, ovsrc"lne all
>crup)eS, and she SLEPT, and dreamed like
tie sailor bov
Whose hammock swung loose to the sport
of the wind,
While visions of happiness danced through
his mind
Subsequently she was heard to warhle, alter
a delightful experience OF four days and
thr,,. III. ',iS on the water,
Since then I've sailed through calm and
strife,
Full fifty summers sailors life.
And never have sighed or sought for change,
Or something to that effect. But we must
hasten on, and wind up our yarn, before it
grows too long. Iovelicr Sabbath never
dawr"d, revealing 10 the delighted eve the
belu;ics OF Lake George, the lovelieSt OF
all the chain Of lakes which make up this
grand old river 1t was scene for an ar
fists pencil From broad lakes, stretching
out till the distant shores were almost lost,
the steamer ploughed her way through
TIE NARROW ToRTUoUs wISDiNGS,
almost touching the banks, in fact she did
run into one, which took prodigious strug-
Cling to back ont of. The ringing notes
Of the breakfast bell di>pelled the charm,
and royal meal proved. Quickly dispo-
Sed of, each one again took position to revel
in the panoramic scene. Immense groves
of Palmetto lined the banks, nteIspersed
with tall Magnolias in bloom, while all end
less variety of birds Of all sizes and shapes,
lazily winged their flight out Of the steam
el'S wav, while all occasional alligator could
be seen induIging in a sun bath. Touching
at various landings signs Of rapid growth
and improvement were abuni mt, great
saw mills, new dwellings,, stores and churches
were every where visible, and the universal
topic was the value Of orange groves and the
millions that were in them. Sanford was
reached at o'clock, then a run oyer to
Enterprise and back where we lay till 9
o'clock Monday morning, having ample
time 70 do that Town, which is rapidly grow
ing in importance.
THE FUN WE HAD.
The wsy back was like unto the going
up, and instead Of further reflections there
on We devote a paragraph to the middle and
end men OF our party who were brinsiai Of
fun. These consisted o. H. T. War,ilaw,
OF the Press g. Banner, W. P Murphy, of
the Hampton Guardian, B. J. Ba!lew, Lau-
rensvil.e Herald, ". q. McKerall, Marion
Star, T. II. Clarke, Camden journal, Knox
Livingston, Farmers Friend, 4. G. McFall,
Port Royal Elevator, WIN. H. Lockwood,
Beaufort Banker, and n. J. Peake, of the
Laureus Locomotive. From the time Of
leaving Beaufort, on the rail, Oh the river,
up and down, and until the Association
mel:ed into its separate ways at fenlaSse,
they never Tagged, fun and rolic ruled the
hour. Woe 10 the unfortunate caught nap
ping, lunera! dirge woke him up, even the
clergy we're 'waked;' was poor fellow found
stepping over the liue he was indicted and
tried dcSweeny was dragged before the
Court for having in his possession ring
Nelonging tp young lady, Wilson for hav.
ing in his pocket baby's nursing bottle, and
Prince for sitting along side q high toned
darkey. TO these gentleman the Assocla-
ton stands for ever indebted. Eugene, the
youngster, even acknowledges that they ex-
ceiled a first alass circus troupe.
70 Mr.. L. uarnett, proprietor Of the Har-
nett House, Savannah, where we break tasted
on the return, we are Indebted for
BASKET OF CHAMPAGNE,
which help:d much TO assuage the grief we
were beginning TO feel as the thought Of
our breaking up drew nearer. Long may
the donor live and flourish. With the mem
orr OF on- last square meaI, We sped on
to the point of separation, and pass over
the tears shed. BY By Lockwood, McFall,
ami othe's, meet us again aud bring your
families.
We are done, reader.
