Afler dinner. I was invited 70 ride ont with
the family to make visit 10 some friends who
lived about three miles the other side Of Char
Lofts Hall. We had the fret ride In new
and nicely anished wagon drawn BY . pair Of
spanking horses. We passed through Char
lOtts Hall, and that too Is putting OF is old
aud dingy appearance and begins TO show that
the tide Of improvement has at last flowed TO
that old and memorable plsps. After leaving
Charlotte Hall, some distance at o place known
% the "0aks," saw our old frierd Tom sit
ting back in comfortable quarters, surrounded
by his frou and numerous little ones, and look
ing as happy as big sunHower. We soon
reached our destination, where we received .
hearty and cordial welcome aad spent q very
agreeable and pleasant evening. The supper
table vas spread out in the yard under tho
shade. When everything was ready, we we're
invited to sit down, and had hardly taken our
seats when the storm burst apon Us, and eve
ry fellow had to catch up his plate and cup
and strike out for hehOuse. twas quite
a severe storm, but after il was over we again
took our seats, and the viands were none the
less enjoyed because Of the little interruption.
After supper we left, bearing great deal Of
love and many messages and Invitations frop
the kind and hospitable lady to relatives and
friends at and near her old home. Here there
was little interruption to the pleasant and
agreeably harmony that had existed all along.
When we went out to start, we found that a
young man who we had LEFT in the village to
await our return, had become uneasy, and
thinking that be might be losing ground, had
Persisiently followed on, and after passing
through the rage and terrors Of the storm, had
arrived in time to take our only young lady
home in his buggy and left your humble ser
want to enjoy and amuse himself as best he
could. Soon after our return 10 the village,
I called on ''mine host for my buggy, and
found that he had been very fOrgetful and left
it out through all the storm, but had very con-
siderately put it in the house after the rain was
over. / found the buggy cushions and blank
ct very wet and had very disagreeable ride
home, where arrived some time during the
night after a very pleasant and agreeable trip,
but with q certain portion of my pants re-
markedly wet. H.B.
