I might, however, Rave been somewhat prepared for it; for tho coming event hacUl' cast its shadows before\—and its echoes, too. Crowds of boys, of all stages of growth, and of all complex ions, began their revelries last night—carous ing, shouting and yellhjg, like Pandemonium let loose. It is a great j^nder to me, that, after continuing their boWcrous hilarity \o so late an hour, they shonld have go t at it again so early this morning. But I suppose the truth of the matter is, the mosWif them did not go to bed at all. I cannot imagine a more complete desecra tion of this ancient festival, than the manner of celebrating it which prevails, t o a great ex tent, through all our south-western country. Wnereter there are Episcopalians—of which denomination, however, there are compara tively few—tho day is celebrated b y the reli gious observances, peculiar to the chureh, and by innocent social festivities, which aim main ly at the amusement of the young. Among other denominations, also, such festivities are to some extent encouraged, in order, if pos sible, % present the young from being drawn into those bacchanalian revels, which are here to IsiimilUlj common denial of the masters who sanction it, for it is but \aspen.ted tl.c woman, who, taking her native forest.
