A PICNIC AT JEFEERSON'S ISLAND.
GIVEN BY THE YOUNG MEN OF THE
SURVEYING PARTY.

A jolly crowd left New Iberia
at Q A. M. Thursday, and after a
delightful ride Of about two
hours, during which we crossed
several streams, some Of them
crossed by beautiful Bridges, we
reached the island where we were
met by Winter of such a mild and
gentle character, that all were de-
lighted. Very soon the young
folks were enjoying themselves at
different games. When dinner
was announced, Battle threatened /,
with Pixies and other Sharp instru-
ments, but the Spirit Of peace was
Foster-ed, and we ran-a-day
(Renoudet) through without trou.
BILE, and Seal-y(ed) the bonds Of
peace. Ants (Fourmys) were
present, and we feared they would
"smash our pleasure to Smith-er-
eens" but they were peaceful and
their company was enjoyed.
We visited the beautiful mansion
with stately Halls and gazed upon
Myles Of beautiful scenery.
In the Barn(y)ard We saw a
small Bunch of Hen-shaw | mean
geese. Birds were singing every.
where, unmindful Of the beautiful
Cage ready to imprison them.
Although the Ruff(a)n and
Earl were both present, we seemed
band Of brothers (Freres) on
pleasure bent.
Leaving the island "just as the
sun went down" we overlook a
wandering minstrel, who was
pressed into service, and so en-.
thused the crowd that they de.
scended from the hack and tripped
the light fantastic toe on che
"green sward" in the middle oi
the dusty road. 1t is needless te
say that they "raised sand
Everybody enjoyed them -selve,
and regretted that the day wa,
so short.
