now standing with Mr.. Van Wand his politics are
turned as completely refund as his dapper little per-
son, wig, and all, were in the waltz. His next mes
sage or proclamation will be full of laudaioTy peans
in favor of the Irish, Ireland and lis lovely caugh-
ters."
Miss ON is tina, queenly looking lady dressed
in black 2"
The same the contour of her face is Grecian );
her eyes large, dark and usnous, speak unulleYable
things; her figure perfect her checks bright vermel
INIT oulves the rose in bloom, does her de-
neanor in modesty No wonder she has carried the
heart of the Mayer capivc-bound at her chariot
wheels like the dead body of Hector at the car Of
Achilles The simile holds good in more than one
nstance-the old leaven Of hatred TO Ireland is dead

with thai gc?tlemanly young man 2?
"Thatls Mrs ON the wife Of celebrated polt-
can; me gentleman with her. so remarkably plain is
counsellof ne has connexions who once represented
the people, and asDres 10 that holor himself He is
a great gallant bat that's but natural for an IRISH
mans son."
"Who is that pretty young lady dressed in brown
with her hair plain ~
"Thati is Miss OC-; her gallant, Mr.. Mc-.is
engaged in monied institution down town-he is
bearable-but little does she think Of "affectors
nipped unumely IN the buG!" But see! the waltz
Deg1S-see what u grace Is seatcuOn tnat DTOw-that

Who are those two lovely young ladies' next tous
dressed in brownl 2"
"They are thetwo Misses a., of Cherry street."
They look mild May morning.
They are modest creatures, very pretty and very
good always dress with taste and the appearance
of their hair generally excel that Of their fair ascot
ates for neatness. See Pr. N has just engaged one
for the cheat coulon. Stop, must leave you mo-
ment the Mayor wishes me to assist him through the
cheat"
And the lovely girl ran laughing off, and in mi
mute was endeavorng TO drill he poor Mayor into
the mysteries of The movements necessary TO get
through The Cheat with good grace. But was no
go! The Mayor has NOT been a politician long
enough, and at last he gave up in despair. BY this

to her in relation TO another young lady, Miss s..
"sbe hath lip which hath press'd,
Ivowed lie make me ,r.y blessd-
And mine-mIne ~nly prcssd II more"
Bat twould be useless 10 enumeTate all where all

will mention one fair girl, Miss l.. e, whose dark
blue eyes and dark brown hair and graceful figure

dusirlons and success sful rtstaara!tnr Of the day
would have made me kneel at her shrine had not my
early recoecens of the blessed Virgin forbade either
man worship, or woman worship 10 aught beside
her.
The ball was brilliant affair and say 10 tho
