For think il the good ladies OF the valley
had brought up and exhibited suitable
specimens Of their skill 10 the culinary art,
It would have bad tendency to remind
these bachelors % a duty they appear to
| have neglected aud afford them induce
ment to break up the seclusion Of their
household. But no grub was brought,
and We bad to rely on the hospitality of
the house for refreshments. These were
furnished in beautiful apples, splen did
cider aud more than palatable metheglin,
OF which we had feast OF reason and
flow OF soul. One OF the guests, man Of
experience, volunteered some kindly ad.
vice, and admonisbed us Of the danger in
mixing metheglin aud cider particularly
when cartng such cumbersome freight
a scsldiug tub. Another insisted that the
plankng on all the suice bridges in the
Metheglin District were too short at one
end 1t is hoped that the newly elected
Road Commissioners will early investigate
this matter
After the evening hours had pleasantly
passed, and the ladies began to robe them
selves for departure, very interesting
question arose, in our mind only, for it
will not bear discussion You know Mr..
| Editor, these ladies are great sticklers Tor
etiquetical rules, aud the rules and
methods which society has adopted.
There stood the representative lady Of The
house aud the question arose in our mind
how the lady guests we're going to pass
him. We're they going to omit one OF the
long established rules Of society? or were
they going to boldly meet society's de-
n snds? But Mr.. Editor. was glad to see
Il don't say dill seel that there was no
infringement on Socieiy's rules. Amid
tits etiquetical tumul, and hustle, might
have been heard noise like that Of COW
drawing her foot ont Of the mud. II was
ooly the conventional parting with the
lady II he house. No rules or ribs hroken.
