NEITHER Florence nor Grimkie made an attempt to induce Mrs. Morelle to alter he determination in respect to going to Jersey tha day in case the weather should prove pleasant Having acquiesced in the arrangement whil there was a prospect that they would gain by it they made it a point of honor not to complai when it proved that they were to lose. So Grimkie called for and paid the bill a eleven o'clock, having learned that the Jerse boat was to sail at twelve, that being the hou at which the tide served. A porter came and put all the baggage upon a queer looking wheel barrow, as clumsy, so John thought, for a wheel barrow, as the sabots were for shoes, and at hal past eleven set out from the hotel, Mrs. Morell and her party following, along the sidewalk, on foot. Mrs. Morelle said that she preferred to walk it was such a charming day. Besides, the young girl who served as clerk and bookkeeper at the o the place where the steamer was passed by a large number of vessels gside, loading and unloading. At sailors were hoisting cows on board John wished very much to stop and peration, but Grimkie told him it - reached the end of the pier, they eamboat lying there.

Mrs. More ments, was and find a should be looking you of the cabin be sick in s after makin on deck aga to reflect into every heart a feeling of contentment and happiness. At different places along the deck of the steamer were several broad and well cushioned settees placed athwart the deck, midway from side to side, the backs of which were carried up high and brought over the seat above, so as to form a complete canopy to defend those sitting there from the wind and rain. The backs of these seats were toward the bows, and thus they were open only toward the stern, being so made in order to defend them from the draft of wind along the deck from stem to stern, which is almost always produced on the deck of a steamer by her rapid motion over the surface of the water. Mrs. Morelle, after looking at these arrange-ments, was disposed to go down into the cabin and find a place to lie down, for fear that she should be sick; but the stewardess, a pretty looking young girl, who received her at the head of the cabin stairs, told her that she could not be sick in such weather as that if she tried. So after making a brief visit to the cabin, she came on deck again and established herself upon one MV ne a number of passengers had come mong them were two or three EnLen and ladies, apparently on a tour, groups of the people of the country th babies, and ruddy-cheeked girls most fantastic looking caps made slin.
