An elegant supper was served about II
o'clock. The guests had evidently all
b, s1yhf their appetites with them.
Dancing was continued almost without
interruption until $50 o'clock Wednesday
morning. No cases of rheumatism are re-
ported. l don't know how many hearts
beat faster under new impulse received
that night, but there is one case Of love
at first sight, and several others look
promising. Fair women and brave men
whirled in the giddy dance, but the little
god, with his bow and arrow, and summer
clothes is always busy, and who knows
how many young Misses fsncies Lightly
turned to thoughts of love?"
We all came away wishing, and we shall
ever wish, that Mrs. Hedges and her genial
husband may live long and always be
hsppy, and that the family of four boys
who cluster round them may rise up as
we do to call them blessed.
May their shadows never grow less.
