inous poles, far beyond the reach of smoking
chimmes or the pelt of wandering stones.—
As the hour of noon approaches, this calm
ness gradually gives place - to.an air of.ex
citement; a chance settling wagon is seen
crawling along the street; anon, a dashing
horse gallops along,"bearing on his back,
perhaps, one of the marshals of the day, big
with excitement; while crowds of well dress
ed young men keep passing up and down
street, or may be standing at the tavern’
doors, or the corners of the street; all ap
pears to be bustle and hurry. At three o’-
clock—but hdre my pen flags! let-it-suflice
that the town is now nearly deserted; the
small boys and the large boys—the young
misses—the lover and his mistress—the
modest young men and the older men, are
all gone; scarce line remains except the con
firmed misanthrope who lies stretched in the
shade, rendering the surrounding gloom more
visible. -cAll have gone to the “Head of the
Spring,” and thither "let us repair also.—
This delightful spot, although scarcely be
yond the precincts of town, is buried in ro
mantic seclusion; the road Ties partly through
a little stretch of woodland, and slightly be
yond this a hill swells abruptly to a consid
erable height, at the foot of which from a
mong the rocks gushes fortl) a cool transpa
rent stream: a clump of noble oak and,wal
nut trees overshadow this retired spot, de
dicated to the cause of liberty, and the more ,
private matter of the heart. Here many a j
scnjimpntal flirtation has - ended in matri
ninny, and many an embryo Demosthenes I
has kept us in admiration, while he held up!
Greece ancfiPßome ns a beacon to guide us
in the pathway of duty; and here at this pro-1
sent anniversary, seated on those long cir- j
cular benches, are the elite of oiir village;
and surrounding neighborhood, each one!
contHbuting to the general joy. The c even- j
ing is spent in innocent amusements, and in
' partaking of refreshments; small parties form
and promenade the lawn; others make more
, extensive walks; while "to many the most'
pleasant walk is to the summit of the hill, I
to steal a look down through flic tree fops j
upon the lively groups below;'this hill em
braces a view of the whole ground, and du-;
ring-tlie evening is visited by almost, all the ;
company.- The party generally closes by!
sombJhld fashioned play in which all parti- j
cipate, such as “Blindmairs Bull',” or “Pri
soner's Baste,” or something of (his kind;
.mil, however the more squeamish maybe

pleasure to (he.greatest number—and what:
need of reform? Something or other fre
<|uen(ly occurs whipli is unexpected and goes
oil' therefore with a better relish; for instance, i
some of the more reckless part of the village I
youth take (he company by surprise bv ap
pearing in masquerade, winch throws all in
to charming confusion; children cry, and
timid young ladies seek protection in (he
arms of (heir lovers; in fact their appearance
is,enough (o strike terror among the'hold.— I
Such grotesque.shapes and dresses, andgood
IJeavcnas what hornsl (hat must once have
graced/some patriarchal ram, and such hor
rid noses turningupwards in defiance;■ Mac
’-Beth’s witches and Mljlotrs lost spirits arc
-bore personified—and'such music,!, a,gong

long, lang, anil gray, on which one of litis
stiintly crew is mounted, completes the pic
ture. They march once or twice around,!

(lie green, and take an Indian’war dance;
when lids is over (hey depart in the same
order in -which (hey came, and marching a
long the bank of (lie stream are soon lost.tp
view in the neighboring woods.
The proximity to the water causes a world
of fun to tile more juvenile part of (he com
pany. A few--years ago in the midst of a
fine.declamation, l)ie cry of a man drown
ing! a, man drowning!, reached the camp. '
The cry of lire would have been less elec
trical. All ran as by one impulse pell-mell
to the bank, to see a-drunken.fellow drawn*
out of the water, dripping.with w,ct and
shivering with .cold. When all waf over
the audience returned to get the'rcst of the
oration. It has become common to ask who
is to afford sport for the company by falling
in next, and anxious 7 parents give this as a
last charge to their children when about''to
start, as shaking a prophetic finger, they ad
vise th'erii to beware of the spring! beware of
the spring! _ ■
_ The present celebration seemed likely to
paM without any accident of this Kind, or
"indeed any accident at all, and. the hour of
sun ‘ setting was fast approaching, when a.
wild spout’!' and a louder laugh followed,
and away ran. young arid old helter-skelter
in the direction of the spring. It was a mo
ment of excitement; and so far as conflicting
testimony can be believed, the cause appears
to have been this: a sutler was about return
ing to town with his team, consisting of a
small wagon, a bay rosenante and himself;
.from some cause or other, when half way
oyer-the stream, rosenante refused .to go for
ward, and upon the application of the whip,
he laid himself.down.m the water; the catas
trophewas at its height ns we reached 'the
bank; Harvey the driver had plunged into
the stream up to his middle, and rosenante
. was buried in mud and water, of all save his
head and tail, alid had assumed a new.char
' acter, for he was spouting water like a very
■ Whale. - Terrestrial pleasures are transient,
and the greatest difficulties yield to stubborn
perseverance;. for the charger was soon un
chained, and horse and man rose from out
their watery beds, and gained the shore like
some huge leviathan oLthe deep.
. . A post fence encloses the spring arid sey
eraf acres of ground,- amf immediately with
out is a kind of neutral ground, where every
species, of jollification is freely indulged;
here the sutler takes his stand; here the mu •
, sic. of the violin twangs. forth its unceasing
notes; here the merry dance goes round, and
all. are noisy and happy; while some fixed
with admiration sit_ on, the fence looking
anxiously on the passing- scenes within,
pleased with scenes in which they cannot
participate; well may they admire, for Mon
key Sam is himsclt a note.of admiration!
and, not'to be invidious, squinting John and
Bully Bob claim a like consideration; for al
though theseworthies have for the while been
transplanted from neighboring ■cornfields,
yet this is evidently their proper sphere;
here “Richard is himself again.” Sam
shines forth with his furniture, apron, and
broad sash of red ribbon, in addition to his
white pants r -vest, gloves, and teeth, rc
splendant; a tuft of buv/.ard feathers stuck
on his head would have converted him into
a Pawnee brave. It is singular that these
sable colored gentlemen become so patriotic
on such occasions, for their liberty is of ra
ther a restricted nature; and although the
new constitution extends more liberty to the
white man, it is of small advantage to the
negro; yet we have known some'of _thcm
who wore orderly and well disposed for the
rest of the year, whose patriotism Would
prompt them to keep the fourth of July for
a fortnight, by getting drunk every day.—
There is a phenomenon connected with this
which we will leave for wiser heads to"solve.
| Twilight is the signal for returning home;
j the sparkling bowl has boon emptied; hearts
| have been lost and won; the efficient mana
gers have established their reputation, and
j the more humble and obsequious waiters
. have made their last bow; The line of march
; is taken yi procession; the town; which du
! ring the after part of the day resembled a
| desert, is now teeming with life and anima-'
I tion, and all seem pleased with (lie occur
j rences of the day—scenes like these, oft re
peated, have given us an enviable fame.—
Other villages may emit a transient lustre,
but we have a permanent character to sup
port; and as the Hawker of the east seeks
those .marts to dispose of his, wares "where
arc congregated the greatest number of pil
' grims, sp here resort a score of young per-
I sons from- as many villages, offering their
I mile to (he general felicity, knowing that all
(hey contribute will be returned Jen fold.—
Bachelors and Widowers seek (his mart in
search ,of wives; maids and widows seek it.
in search of pleasure. Friends make this
period the lime to visit, relations to gather
home; brothers and sisters collect around the '
paternal hearth, and cousins'siwell (he num
ber; those meet who have long parted; every
hpuse almost has its quota of strangers, and
(his season like the old English Christmas
holidays-is devoted’to pleasure. Those who \
