Spicy Breexes from st. Teres.

To the Editor of the F1oRrp1AS:
autumn seems 10 have already arrived |
Within the last few days, the breeze being
cool enough to suggest dark dresses, and
saques for the ladies, and coats for the
gentlemen; the Mother Hubbard" men,
lioned in our last letter, being discarded
Tor the time. Vigorous exercise is abso.
luteiy necessary to those who battle, in or
DER to keep comfortably warm, but the
present low temperature of the water ia
most invigorating.
One afternoon. in this week, a venture.
some party SAILED away DER the vasty
Deep" in the Fannie Lee" ostenslblv
heading for the Point" but the tempta-
ton there assailed them to try the rougher
water outside the bar. Strange to relate,
although the waves tossed them about. r.
CARELESS of consequences, they all expressed
themselves as delighted with the trip, be-
ing not, however, the only delighted per-
sons on the island. Two married ladies
who were left behind, have never ceased
| eA~oN VIC Odptdlu lOE us Neglect.
Another excursion had more pratical
objects in view, and came back laden with
crabs, caught by two energetic little ladies:
Miss s. L., and Miss 81. B. The most
perservering and successful fisherman
among the gentlemen, now at St. Tereasa
is Mr.. d. who made big haul of twenty
large reddish caught at the head of the
bay. He leaves US this week, much to the
regret of all especially to the ladies, who
daiiy enjoy his pleasant companionship
We learn there is one particular lady il
the case, but just here, rumor becomes
rather vague, 90 we desist.
Il There is represented at st. Teresa tina
u class known as grass widows" who hea
doleful accounts of the lonely lives of tn
\. liege lords remaining at home. We reat
a an illustration Of their sad state, few day
# since cut from some appreciative journal
which runs thus: II ON lonely, m
, darling without you" wrote Smith to hi
n absent wife. 'Oh! 80 lonely, and coun
. the days until you return" Several hour
later Smith met Jones, another gras
widower, "Well, old boy, observed Jone
' "lel's 60 down TO the Island to-day, an
have aquie< little time-" call right, reptile
- Smith, I've only got five more days befol
the old hen gets back" Our era.
IL widowers, however, are beyond criticism
"a As tn days will roll by too rapid.
II the sad reality presents itself, that Il
pleasant SKINNER, 30 long eWoyed, mu
he soon end, and the dreamy delicious air
4 ST. Teresa know US no more, unless an al
le wise Providence ordains that we me-
again under as favorable circumstances 4
10 now. The daily intimate conpanionshi
n 80 pleasant, 30 sweet, mag never
"a realized again, for in this short, changed
q life of ours, events ever occur, to alter tt
daily conditions of life. Nevertheless, II
memory Of this happy time will forev
dwell with os, and what can be sweete
~ than pleasant recolLections of happy, inn
cent eIOyments! Remarks have bee
% frequently heard at St. Teresa ofthis kin
81 "HoW much pleasant ter, and more social
Mrs ETHAN ever thought her J" q
e. "what good heart Mr.. B-shas, l new
t. suspected it" Many lifelong frien'
or ship hes been strengthened and cementt
J., on this dear old island, amid its ocean
lie breezes; affections born of itE sweet pu
In air, and ever flowing tides.

MRS. JoNEs-SMITH.
