I.

A DAY'S PLEASURE.

ONE fine May morning a large party of young
people, of which I was one, set off for the pur-
pose of viewing a nobleman's seat at some miles
distance. This was an excursion to which we
had for some time been looking forward with
much pleasure. It had been long promised us,
and the day fixed more than once; but the weath-
er, or some other untoward circumstance, had
hitherto disappointed us. But now every obsta-
cle was removed-the party assembled, and
when, after many presages of bad weather, with
which some of the least sanguine and more expe-
rienced of our number had alarmed us the night
before; when, after all these forebodings, the
carriages drew up, and we found ourselves safely
seated and driving off, there was not an eye that
did not sparkle with pleasure.
