BACHEI.OR'S BALL.


A few years ago meeting was called OF Ba-
chelors friendly to giving an annual ball, as a
kind Of communication for an odious tax about
to be proposed, and by way Of keeping in the
good graees Of the fair. Contrary 10 all cacu-
lations, full meeting was had: some young;
some little in the vale; some with wigs, and
Others with kind Of pepper and salt hair;
something like sleet, as Billy Lackaday calls
il: i'm all from IS TO so. At that meeting il
was resolved to give Ball, and if il was voted
quite the thing, to give such ball annually on
ST. Valentines day; day particularly agreea-
bic 10 all "billers and cooers," and TO effect the
object, strong committee was appointed.
The ladies when they heard OF Bachelor S
Ball, smiled behind their fans; some turned up
their honorable noses; others declared that it
was high time the creatures did something TO
make themselves agreeable: but they all resolv
ed to go and stare them out of countenance, or
into matrimony. Well, the ball was given,
and a splendid one il was; rooms elegantly de-
corated; lights brilliant; supper ample and mag
ni6cent.
The ladies were dressed in the most becon-
ing style; their heads ornamented with fea-
theirs, bachelors buttons, and a certain olher
little field flower, which shall be nameless-all
the artillery Of their charms were brought to
play point blank on the hearts of the bachelors,
who, with blue coats, white cashmere unmen-
tionables, and daffy-d owndilles in their button
holes, were unusually amiable, attentive and
polite. The ball went off with uncommon e.
clat-every body was delighted, and those who
fol years had sneered at bachelors-who had,
in riot fancy, "made mouths" at them, now
spoke loudly in praise Of their spirited under
taking-favored them with their sweetest
smile and most becoming curtsey., This praise
proved fatal to single blessedness. O,Aa,tery
Oh!it was poisoned cup, in which Cupid's
arrows had been dipp'd-it inspired new life in
tie bachelors-they drank deep OF the intoxi-
eating draught-they fell before the idol-they
pushed up their hair, Ia Brutus-wore black

POETRY.
F,ou he Me,u- Hampshire Patriot.

From the Neto- Hampshire Patriot :
The following beautiful effusion is the
lction of a native of New Hampshire, onl
nteen years old, and now in ohscurity. $
yswould almost wake the Tyre again; and
thor need write but few pieces like this
ficiently known.
THE TYRE.
There was Tyre, tits said, that hung
High waving in the summer air;
An angel hand its chords had strung,
And left to breathe its music there.
Each wandering breeze that DER it few,
Awoke wilder, sweeter strain,
Than ever shell of mermaid blew,
In coral grottos Of the main
When, springing from the roses bell,
Where all night he had sweetly slept,
The zephyr left the flower dell,
Bright with the tears that morning wept;
He rose, and DER the trembling Tyre,
Waved lightly his soft, azure wing;
What touch such music could inspire!
What harp such lays of joy could sing!
The murmur Of the shaded rils,
The birds that warbled sweetly by,
And the soft echo from the hills,
Were heard not, where that harp was nigh.
When the last light offading day,
Along the bosom of the west,
In colors softly mingled lay,
When night had darkened all the rest,
Then softer than that fading light,
And sweeter than the lay, that rung
Wild through the silence of the night,
When solemn philomela sung,
That harp its plaintive murmurs sighed
Along the dewy breeze of even;
c. "a ,p1 ewaat thev smelIel and died
They seemed the echoed songs of heaven,
Sometimes, whena all the air was still,
Nor cen the poplsr's foliage trembled,
That Tyre was nightly heard to thrill
Tones, that no earthly tones resembled;
And then, upon the moons pale beams,
Unearthly forms were seen to stray,
Whose starry pinions' trembling CLEANS
Would oft around the wild harp play.
But soon the bloom Of summer fed
In earth and air it shone no more;
Each flower and leaf fell pale and dead
While heaven its wintry sternness wore.
One day, loud blew the northern blast
The tempest's fury ragged along
o for some angel, as they passed,
To shield the harp Of heavenly song
1t shrieked-how could it bear the touch,
The cold, rude touch of such storm,
When cen the zephyr's seemed too much
Sometimes, though always light and warm
1t loudly shrieked-but all in vain
The savage wind more 6ercely blew;
Once more-it never shrieked again,
For every chord was torn in two!
II never thrilled with anguish more,
Though beaten by the fercest blast;
The pang, that thus its bosom tore,
Was dreadsul-but it was its last
And though the smiles of summer played
Gently upon its shattered form,
And the light zephyr DER it strayed,
That Tyre they could not wake or warm.

In the Maryland Legislature, on Monday, Mr..
TEAcKLE delivered the following report and re-
solutions:
The committee on so much of the executive
communication as relates to the evils arising
from numerous tipping shops, have had the
same under consideration, and beg leave to re-
port-that they are aware Of the prevalence Of
this evil, to be deplored by every wise and vir-
tuous statesmen; that it is crying sin, and
fruitful source Of idIeness. proclamation, crime
and degradation, and calls aloud on the public
authorities to apply the force Of existing laws,
and on every patriotic and philanthropic citizen
to extend his aid towards depressing, by every
legal and proper means, this most monstrous
and increasing evil
The committee conceive, that the chief cause
of this evil may be ascribed to the reduced
price of spurious liquors, and they fain would
witness an augmentation of the present duty
on imported rum, and gin, and brandys, and
an excise on the Installation of domestic spirits,
and therefore submit the following resolutions:
/. Resolved, by the general assembly Of Ma
ryland, That the senator's of this state in the
congress of the United States be, and they here.
by are, instructed 10 use their influence in pro-
curing an augmentation Of the duties imposed
upon the importation of spurious liquors, and
the imposition of ALI excise upon the distillation
of domestic spirits; and that the avails Of the
said excise shall be appropriated amongst the
