Centenniai and Leap-Year Party.
MeAiiSTEKvnxE, June 24, 1876.
This is indeed a remarkable year.
Tbe Centennial of our nation has
evidently infused the gallantry and
spirit of Martha Washington into the
young ladies in joux viciuity. .Leap
year privileges are at the same time
taken advantage of, end the young
gents are taken into the care of tho
gentler Bex.
A few days since, while sitting in
my study, I was aroiise-1 by the ring
ing of tile door-belL and, on opening
the door, I was handed the following
niifchive:
" Mr. , Can I hare the pleasnr of
your company frtf a drive on Thursday, 22d.
If agreeable, will call lor you at t o'clock.
Kespectfully, k.-. ."
Mv face flushed, and I could not
but scan the note with an agreeable
surprise, and answered it. impromptu,
in the afiSnnative. The tima arrived
for the reception of my truest. My
heart throbbed, and a thrill of plea
surable sensation, evidently from Cu
pid's d-U't, passed through it as I
heard the mutlled sound of a horse's
feet. Sure enough, there she comes,
with an elegant and sprightly horse,
driving wit) dignity and grace that
could not be surpassed. Now she
halts before the door and alights, and
with a smile gently requests me to
get into the buggy. She assisted me,
but I was likely to get on the wrong
side. With whip in hand and a chirp
from her soft voice, we sped along, as
I thought, at the rate of Goldsmith
Maid. We are now in sight of Mc
Alisterville. We see crowds of men
on the street corners, women and
children filling their porticoes.
"What does all this mean?" I
asked. "You'll see in A moment,"
was the reply. "There are twenty or
thirty of us having a leap-year drive."
I cast my eyes up the street, and wan
almost paralyzed to see the streets
filied with osie and two-horse turn
outs, young ladies, the elite of the
town and country, having them in
charge, acting escort to the gentle
men accompanying them. I see it all !
Notwithstanding the gloomy as
pect of the weather in the morning,
our quant little village is alive with
the fine carriages of Fayette, hurried
by the . fairy-gloved hands of the
ladies in the direction of Cocolamus,
and the blushing boys are in a state
of bewilderment and distraction, but
all are revived by the grandeur of the
scenery. Cocolamus is a beautiful
mountain stream, passing through a
gap in the Lost Cretk ridge. The
view is vast, and of surpassing beau
ty. No place could le better fitted
for the contemplation of Nature's
sublime and wonderful Works.
We are now in our element. The
ride 'neath the shade of Miss 's
parasol, while we enjoyed the refresh
ing gale from her fan, seems not to
have modified the degree of excite
ment and embarrassment with which
we are harraPsfeA How resignedly
did she sacrifice these comforts, en
dure the scorching rays of "Old Sol,"
who sent forth a brilliancy that made
the afternoon a pleasant ona The
fruitless endeavors of Mins - to
keep Mr. awake, arrested our
sympathins. Had he worn a straw
hat, fanning might have improved
him. He was tin ally revived, how
ever, over a bucket of lemonade.
The 6wift driving of Miss had
a disastrous terminus for Mr.
Her horse reached the grounds in
time for dinner. . But all trials and
vexations were soon forgotten, when
on reaching the grove, the ladies un
folded to the astonished boys such
ah abundance and variety of good
things as would do credit to a Boyal
Banquet Kind-hearted Lot extend
ed the hand of chariiy to the poor
little wayfarers, by presenting a fine
lot of cakes, while cruel Samuel
would add a chicken bone which he
had so savagely bared. ! But dinner
is over, and every one is more than
satisfied, yet there remains fully
twelve baskets of fine cakes, chicken,
ham, fruits of various kinds, &c
Tiie afternoon has been spent most
agreeably, and the party starts for
home. A numljer of ladies become
very tired, and a number of gentle
men exert themselves to the utmost
to support the ladies, but Btill they
droop, and are revived only after
partaking of Mr. Co Oman's excellent
ice cream, of which the whole par
took, and for which we were also in
debted to the ladies.
But now the party begins to separ
ate, to spend the night in dreamland,
amidst visions of sponge-cake, lem
onade and ice cream.
Much credit is due the ladies for
the manner in which the whole affair
was managed. May the young gents
take the hint, and improve in socia
bility and gallantrv, that we may en
joy similar occasions, although it be
not leap-year. Iiompo.
