and answer the questions thatfollow: Questions 1.11-114.

What ho! What ho! This fellow is dancing

mad! He bath been bitten by the

Tarantula All in the. Wrong.

Many years ago, I contracted an

intimacy with a Mr. William Legrand. He

was of an ancient Huguenot family, andhad once been wealthy; but a series

of misfortunes had reduced him to want.

To avoid the mortification consequent

upon his disasters, he left New Orleans,

the city of his forefathers, and took up his

residence at Sullivan's Island, near

Charleston, South Carolina.

This Island is a very Singular one. It

consists of little else than the sea sand,

and is about three miles long. Its

breadth at no point exceeds a quarter of a

mile. It is separated from the main land by

a scarcely perceptible creek, oozing its

way through a wilderness of

reeds and slime, a favorite resort of the

Marsh-hen. The vegetation, as might be

supposed, is scant, or at leagt dwarfish.

No trees of any magnitude are to be seen.

Near the Western extremity? where Fort

Multrie stands, and are some

miserable frame buildings, tenanted,

during summer, by the fugitives from

Charleston dust and fever, may be found

indeed, the bristly Palmetto; but the wholeIsland, with the exception of this

Western point, and a line of hard, white

beach on the seacoast is covered with a

dense undergrowth of the sweet myrtle,

so much prized by the horticulturists of

England. The shrub here often attains the

height of fifteen or twenty feet, and forms

an almost impenetrable Coppice,burthening the air with its fragrance. in

the inmost, recesses of this coppice, not

far from the eastern or more remote

end of the Island, Legrand had built

himself a "Small hut, which he occupied

when T first by more accident,
