TURKEY.
Saturday and Sunday, April the
18th and 18th were gala6ays for the
youth of South Turkey. We were
favored by visit from the village
ROsebuds. The genteel and clever
inhabitants of a quiet old cOuhtry
residence were the hOnOred recipi-
ents of the visit. On Saturday even
ing being snugly located with their
approaching friends, they were call
ed on by the young man who scared
the boy one time, and the boy who
drives the little white mule, while
other country gents were present to
enjoy the happy assembly, and to
learn if possible some Of the fine
gilt edge city manners. During the
afternoon various extra capers were
cut to the qualification and enjoy
ment of the country green horns
present. When night set and drop
ped it's sable curtain over the face
of the earth, the fun began in earnest.
Numerous tricks were played, at the
expense of the unsuspecting and UNI
sophisticated country lads. Cold
water traps were set and deluges of
cold water shoWercd upon the heads
of the wondering backwoods boys
causing their stiffiy starched collars,
cuffs &c to relaA into a dish-rag
limberness. The buggies and road
carts of the callers were carried off
into the woods and hidden. The
party broke up at eleven or twelve
O'Clock Saturday night TO retire and
refresh themselves for next day
Sunday morning came and found all
bright and blithesome. Some ofthe
rose buds INDUCED in horseback
