A Visit "West.
3DtTon RtAIi:
Taking a Sonth-ct)8torn dircotioh
through n gap of tbo motinlnihs,
laying South nndEnstof tho village,
"wo pnoprd out into a bontiliful loVol
country again "with tho "grahd old
mountains, lofty poaks, and townr-
ing summits, looming up ih tho die-
tnnco. And in contemplation of
theso scenes of such grand suhlimi-
ty, and ihiproseod with tho lovoly
beings b' ouv sides, wo began to
fool a spirit (porhnps) of inspiration
(or something eleo) wolling up in
our hearts, and thoughts nrising.
clanimcrous for an utterance. In-
dicating tlio Various points of inter-
est, as wo passed along, wo for
Bomo timo oxpatiatcd on thoir lovo-
linoss. Then passing from a con-
templation of thoso things in tho
glaring sunlight of day, wo began
to moralizo as to vhat oflect tkoy
Would produco, whon vioWed in tho
calm pale silvery light of ''the
placid moon," in company with ono
to whom wo would love to untold tho
linor sontimonts of our inmost soul.
Our mannor, our word or perhaps
our Booming eloquence, our some-
thing so attracted tho attention of
tho couplo just infront of us, that
U103' turnod to catch our words and
thus spoiled, perhaps, tho finest
speech of tho day, and to some ex-
tent, dispollcd that spirit of inspira-
tion by which wo were bocoming so
nnimatod. And thus still pursuing
our way ovory object furnished
food for thought, and a subject for
conversation, leaves us without an
excuse, if wo do not injoy tho day.
Even tho old dilapidated "Log
Cabin" by the waysido, with "cbim-
noy falling down and roof caving in,"
suggests the. thought of "Lovo in a
cottage,1' or tho oponing bud or
l blooming flower awakens tho idea
of "Lovo among tho rosco."
Halting on tho banks of tho Jim
.Ned, bonoath tho wido spreading
boughs of tho mighty oaks, wo un-
hnrncssod our wearied horses, turn-
od them loose upon tho lururiant
grass, "and. rested in tho shade of
tho trces.'r Anon wo wander along
tho margin of the stream, "gather-
1 ing up tho sholls from tho shore"
or watohing tho finny tribe as they
glido through tho liquid waves of
babbling streamlet holding mean
" timo, most pleasant and kindly con-
versation with oaoh other. And
thus wo whilcd away tho pleasant
hours until noar tho hoar of noon,
when wo rolurnod to tho lonfly
Bowor and again roclinod bcnalh
its friendly sjiado, upon tho bright
green sward. Ero long a slight
" commotion is procoptihlo among tho
happy throng, and tho joyous cry
. goes round (,a wodding! a wedding!
tvo'ro going to have a -wedding"
J.0 chooso half a dozon bridemen
,vand bridomaids is but tho work of a
moment, and the happy pair march
up between thoir oponod ranks on
Iho grcon carpotod earth, and do-
rnand to bo united in tho Holy bonds
. of wedlock. At thoir rcqtiost wo
stopod out boforotthom, and oncir-
vclod by happy hoarts and smiling
faces, wo ropoat tho mock ooreinony
that, for tho present, makes thorn
"man and wife.', Then soaled with
in tho cool shados beneath tho over-
honging boughs, tho happy twain ;
bow mado ono rccoivo tho hearty
conrutiilalions, and joyous wishes
, of tho glad, gay, and jubulant-wed-
