VAUXHALL GARDENS.

The second Bal Masque of the prisent season in
these time-honoured grounds took place last night, and
from midnight to sunrise the gardens were thronged to
overflowing with, to say the least, as gay and orderly an
assemblage as we have ever witnessed on any similar
occasion. Untiring was the spirit of the dancers to the
strains of three admirable hands, and the remarkable
profusion of female loveliness in varied and becoming
costumes must have satisfied the Nepaulese Envoy,
Prince Jung Balladeer aad his suite, who paid an unex-
pected visit t) the glittering realms of Terpsichore.
Several of the characters were dressed in excellent taste,
the palm being unanimously accorded to a group of
dancers of the era cf bir Roger de Covcrley. The spi-
rited management of Mr. ti aidell deserves every SUCCC: P,
and we sincerely t-ust that in his next masquerade he
may be equally forturate in the fintreLs of the weather,
and in the joyouluess and harmony of his festive and
mulitudinous patrons.

Nearly 16,000 of the pubic were yeitaday

luminations, find additional Land One, lire-woks. A re-
ception-room, which h.d beLo fitted up expressly for his

FLORAL FANCIES-
(From the Ladies' companion.)
Welcome! gleams of green—of amber!

Children! playmate! out and see,
Floating from her ice-bound chamber, eel
Spring, the flower-crowned spring set fr
See her blue eyes glad to weeping,
O'er the wan world oped anew;
O'er the meads fresh waters leaping.
Silvery stepp'd, and tuneful too!
Singing, ringing, wildest measure,
Wild as if gone mad with pleasure!

Now the warm rays' noonday brightness ,
Wakes the sleepy flowers below—
Some like gentle ghosts all whiteness--
Some like maiden cheeks that glow—
Jonquils pale—how pale! but sweeter,
E►cheer than the rose of June;
Daffodils whose day is fleeter;
Born like smiles and lost as soon.
Pansies clad in wondrous glory,
Rare as kings in eastern story.
Yonder, where .the sparkling showers
Fall like music heerd in sleep,
There Lave burst the crocus flowers,
Laughing out while cloudlets weep.
Time of bi aaty—time of blessing—
Sunny childhood of tie year!
Earth so lorn eie thy caressing,
Blooms like ono whom angels cheer:
Kiss her, clasp her, tend her kindly,
She has sorrowed long and blindl).
Sorrowed clii!dletts, bloomlesr, blighted,
Like a mother gone distraught—
Ah ! that young smile rapture-lighted,
Nestling there new life hath wrought;
Lilies weave her brow's soft splendour,
Crown'd with gems—the jewel-dews-
Violets dark her mild eyes render,
Almond pink her cheeks suffuse!
Kiss her, clasp her—soundest slumber!
Soon must melt at such warm number'

O'cr her shoalders thickly streaming
May's laburnum knots of gold;
Ringlets rich in radiance gleaming,
As were Absalom's Lf old!
Now she wakes—she pants—she rises--
Standing 'thiist the milk-whi:e bough°l
BrdtAili...! full of sweet surprises,
Bride-like! blushing while she vow'.
Now she walks the world in beauty"'
Now sweet Love becomes a duty.
