A ADVENTURE.—One day last
week two Misses, who hope, 110 doubt to he
called young ladies by and by, thought they
would play boys and wade the rLVer; so they
hied themselves away to the other side and
pulling off shoes and stockings, undertook vo
wade from thence to the island. "Alas for
human greatness;" the hold on the bundle
flipped and away went shoes and stockings
floating down stream, aud soon were lost in
the water. After screaming themselves
hoarse, the services of two boys were secured
and shoes and stockings from home were ob
tained to enable them to return to town,
while the others went food to tislies.—
When grrls Wnt to plav boys they should
don the pants at < Jut of respect for pa
rents we withhold the names.'
