NELSON MATHEwsoN.
Babylon, 1887.
By this it appears that the fashion, wealth, and
beauty of Patchouge are blessed with an Admirable
Crichton," perfect arbiter elegantaruna, a ST.
Evremond in all the delicacies and mnutie OF po-
shed society; and under his plastic fingers they are
being modelled into that tournure which will qualify
them next summer TO dash away at the Springs, the
Pavilion, and Rockaway the leaders of TOM and the
delicate flowers which adorn the chapter of Corinthan
column of polished society. The eierc ofthe laughing
Muse, and frolic Graces rejoices it seems, in the
great name of Nelson Mathewson, and the poetry Of
motion never YET boosted Of so llusrious professor

into decent and well regulated society, by the rules
he established for the government, of the ball room,
and Lord Chesterfield has gained an envable immor-
tay by The liturgy he prescribed for the worship of
the Graces-but these illnstrious names sink into
utter oblivion when put into juxtapos,ion with that

sess such social legislator! thrice happy Nelson
Mahewson in the obedience and reverence of such
doce and admirng constituents! He rules over
Babylon, not like Nebuchadonozor, the grim tyrant of
DID, by the influence of brute power, but by bland
and persuasive process the result OF conserving udg
ment, and the offspring of harmony, taste and refine
ment. As model and exempler of the s,arior
rirre and for the guidance Of all country professors
of the saltatory accomplishment, we give Mr.. Ma
