Favored with an invitation, we of course went to see if the old tin hospitality as}d capability .bf the g6od fulks of that section had stagnated, under the pressure of pist events. The sequel will show. We f.urnd many disunguihed town ers already there, who were likewise ainong -the happily invited. Making a late start, and un fortunately alone, over a sandy road, with a heMn ing, scorebing sun over cad, it can hardly be ea pected of us to say that the ride was charming, the scenery fineror that the little birds tittercd and snug frOm their leajperces, as we ambled alon- ; no none of that, riot a note was beard, scarcely a breath of breeze stirred the listless. leaves, and in spite of the romance which might be made of it',e absolutely perspired fron the toil and fatigu-e. Those who got away earlier, in the cool freshness of the morning, the ,;oung er and more enthusiastic, they enjoyed the. ro mance, the soft talk, &c., not we. But the the good part which was ahead, awaited all, alike, and it was enjoyed with a zest seldom or never seen. Arriving at the ferry, the scene which burst upon the vision was encEanting, and looked like a fairy picture ;, on the opposite shore, the spot-selected fc4- tl frolic, could be seen hun. dreds of the fairer portion of creatiol ; grouped about, with % due proportion of the 'lords,' in .agrecable sociability, some sitting, some prome ::ding, while all were chatting and laughing in happiest mcasre. The ridej the sun, fatigue, etc., were all forgotten at he first gaze. Anxious for a nearer view, the flat was taken, and quick ly transpoh ted us to the other side. Distance 'tis said lends tnchar.tnent to tlie view, but in this case a nearer observation only cnhanccd the beauties, a more charnitg collection of beauty, grace and wit it were dif ieult to -find any where. Unfortunately having -but a very .imited acquaintance among the "beauty" which was a source of deep regret, we singled out our old friend hev. Marion, for a stag stroll, - and loco-. moted from point to paint of attraction, till by a most singular chance we found ourselves r uhn in to by the tables, which lud already began to grtoan u der their weight of savory substnntiols. Feeling a curiosity to ascertaiu the length of the principal table, M. And myself took an- accurate ir v ie, and came to the conclusion that it was "several-tcen" feet long. Satisfied us to length and capacity, thethought obtruded itself, would we get a good place in the great picture, and be filled Wvith a fullness. Just then one of our lady friends, in the pleasantest manner, sug gested there %r;s carving to be done. "A wink's as good as a blink to a blind horse," so at it .we we-t, "tooth and tecethail;" or rather, with fingers and knife, their being no forks, and so-,u a mat= ton and shoat was made mince meat of. . Done to a charm, crisp, savory ind juicy, we had to taste to be satisfied as to proper -seasonihg. All right there., We cannot for;_ct a lamntable ac cident which here befell-; taking advantage of a carver's privilege, to reserve tit-bits to himself, we quisly disjoin:ed a most delicious looking tail from the mutton, and quity placed it away for private picking, but alas, a miserable purloin er of small things appropriat.d it to himself, and our beloved tail "went up," gone, gone. -Deeply, ensibly we fet its loss, and'cocld have wept. A nunmber of unsaid bad things were thouight of the rogue, bad luck to him. Tables dressed, proven der served, the ladies-first in all that is good, and in the hearts of the gentlemen-were noti ficd that al[ ' as in readiness for -them. As so.on as their delicate appetites were satisfied, the gen-. temen -were called, and then came the onslaught; fierce, hot, and terriblo wa.s the assaai, and a claance soon made. We notic&d the perfoir ances of. seven-d in' the ''hash" line,, who went it. withf a perfect loos'eness, a total disregard for all moral restraint, but they wcre not to be much blamed, for it was really, the best hash ever h'shed. The ti ird in course was the.faney table. for the ladies, upon w hich was everything pleas ing to m eye and pleasant to the taste. Stand ig ou1tside of which we were satisfied-sim7ply to look on, at the .fair performer.s and not indu!ge ourself further, Ist a good ladiy,however',i!lsisted oni our taking a slice~ of fine melon and some cake. With this ended the. active progiarame of the pie-nic and truly it was creditable to those who got it up and gave it their attention. Never was one more jye,and with a beautiful day too, everything went offrin the most agreeable man nr. Not being one of the unfortunates, we'had aluost forgotten to mention the shower of rain which came on, as an aftevpiece, to disperse the happy pic-nickers. Dresses draggling, stareb wshed out, with the ladies, diss6lving papercol las of the gentlemen, soiled boots, mud, etc., formed a picture quite out of kyeping with that of the morninug Longill the pic:nic at Bouk ig ht' be remembered.

""A CLEPUCAL SPECULATOR.-NOt long SinCo a young New York- clergyaitn was "ristica ted" under the following circumstances IIe inherited, a few years ago, his father's old pulpit r :d wealth, including a salary of seven thousand dollars. He was Induced by a friend to purchase a few railway shares in WaWT street ; was lucky ; dipped in further, and was again. lucky ; fin.lly touched the gold gambling bSsiness, an he soon found him-. self not only bankrupt, but bb had sacrificed all his mother's estate, had involved his wifes father to the tune of 'one. hundred tiousand dollars, and had rendered-two or three of his wealthy parishioners liable to the loss 6f sums varying from one hundr.d and fifty thousand to forty.thousand. Ue was forced to l'eattr , and, on a purse-raised -by a fcyf friends Iii was sent to Eurcpe. AT Ho,t:.-The highest style of.. being "at bome grows out of a special state of the af3e4 tions rather than of the intellect. Who has - not met with individuals whose faces would be a passport to any society, and whose man ners, the unstudied and spontaneous expres sions of their inner selves, make thei visibly welcome wherever they go, and attract in: bounded confidcnce toward them in wha.tecr they.undertake. They are frank, because tiey have nothing to conceal ; affable, because their natures overflow.with-benetolence:unfi'.rried, because they dread nothing ; always at houte because they carry within' themselves that which can trust to itself ny where and every here-purity of soul7with fullness ofhealtlr . Such are our best guaranties for feeling I home in all society to which duty takes us, and in every occupation -upon which itobliges. us to enter. They who live least for --them selves are also :be lcast cmbarrassed' by tin certainties. REATgENT oFJ;FEYsoN DA vis.-A special dispatch to the N. Y.
