DANCING EXTRAORDINARY.

In "Sketches of Paris," by an American gentleman,
published not long since by Carey Hart, we find The
following graphic description of the performance Of
Madlle Essler celebrated dancer at the Paris Opera

She will then set off, and skip the whole area Of the

COMMUNICATED.
SHE DIED WITHOUT AN ENEMY"

MEssRs. EDITORS The words have quoted
were contained in a late notice of the death of a
respectable citizen of New York, doubtless
very worthy one, and from the excellence of
whose character do not mean to detract. The
editor of the Alexandra Gazette, whose pen usu-
ally shadows forth the accuracy and soundness of
his Judgment, seems to have fallen in love with
the character implied in that short eulogy, and
conceives that no higher praise could have been
awarded to mortal man. 1t requires no little te
meritv to differ, in matter of taste, with SO ac-
complished and experienced a writer as my Alex
andria friend; but error should be combatted
wherever met with, and his doctrines do injustice
to vast number Of good men who shave shuffled
off this mortal COLL can conceive Of no form of
praise more equivocal than to say of man, that
''he died without an enemy 70 give just
idea of man who merits such an eulogv, the
euogst should add ''and also without a friend" :"
If man has been through life so thoroughly and
literally "al things unto all men, as to die with
out leaving one enemy behind him, then it is GER
tain, that he must have been destitute Of all ac-
the rirtues. If so inert as never to have encoun.
tered the hostility Of any one, then he must have
been too cold to have won the warm attachment
of single friend. Such a man may have been
harmless, inofensive, and even strictly just in his
own acLS anu Dul he never COUlu HdVe
had the courage or magnanimity to resist injus-
tce in others. He may have loved mercy, and
even practised it himself but he never could have
interposed to shield the weak, the humble and
the defenceless from the "oppressor's scorn, the
proud mans contumely.' All men were alike to
him. He must have smiled as complacently upon
Dice as upon Uirtue, which are uncompromising
enemies to each other. A good man cannot pass
through life without an enemy. His course and
his duties are essentially antagonistic to those OF
the bad and mschievous members of Society He
encounters them in their path, and crosses them
in their wicked purposes and therefore, he una
voidably incurs their hostility. Revngs, hatred
and persecution, were the legacies bequeathed by
the '.Sun Of Righteousness" to those just men
whom he chose to preach the Gospel and to
plant the church. They must have lived to little
purpose, had they so carried on the work, COM
mtted to them, as to have died without an enemy.
Ny observation has satisfied me that the best men
are those who have found in life the ,vdrmest
friends, and the biterest enemies. Let no such
eulogy as quoted the head ofthis article be here
after inscribed on the tombs of the Dead unless it is
intended to tell the passer by, that the subject of
it was one of those ''neutral, $3.50, good for no.
thing sort of fellows" whose presence was of no
value to society," and whose departure society does
not deplore.

The reader will find in another column proposals for
publishing by subscription the Poems Of Rufus Dawes" "
We take the occasion TO utter few words in advance Of
that publication, and to call the attention of readers
to the poetry of Dawes and to tell who he s and what
he is poecaly worth
For many years Mr. Dawes lived in this city, having
married into one of the oldest and most respectable
families Of the District and while he resided here he at
different times edited the "Juris and the "Mirror." :"
Driven abroad. however, to other spheres where he nigh
extend his ambition he departed for the city of New
York. where he for time conducted, in cooperation
with Morris, the New York Mirror and subsequently the
New York Whig AT present he is engaged in preparing
his poems for the press. in which task wish him
cess from the bottom Of our heart. ~
It is to our pride that have been upon terms OF in-
mate fellowship with Dawes and have been permitted
appreciate those remarkable qualities that fit him so ad
mrably to be poet. With him poetry is an art as well
as inspiration, and genius kinding herself amid the
classic rules and fountains of ancient lore is made to
assume in verse the lofest and most beautiful garb
Dawes is poet whose lines will be the model of
correct taste and elegant dicon while his imagination
brilliant with the bright pictures, that the poet only Sees
throws over the whole charm that will not easily be
broken.
OfGera'ine. the first poem the list, would say
word now though we promise ourseIfa elaborate
review at the appearance of the volume.
A year two ago, while sick the manuscript of Ge-
raldine was lent us by its author. With head fn OF
aches and prostraed from sickness we took up
the muttudinous leaves. and commenced our work.
Forgotten soon the fever and the DOCTOR while we
reveled in the rich vein of poetry that burst around our
delighted senses. When Geraldine shall be published
we will congratulate the reading public upon its gain;
for there has been poem published within the last
twenty five years. either American foreign that car
equal it in wit, pathos, sublimity and taste.
Mr.. Dawes has just finished for the American stage
Drama, entitled "Athenia of Damascus" which has
met the warmest appreciation Of the northern cities
we only regret that he should permit his muse tc
toll for the poor and pful patrons Of the divine art
stage managers who will rob genius Of its gems, to add
10 the reputation of some pufed performer.
We will be glad to receive subscriptions TO Mr. Dawes's
POEMS for really view such publications rebound
ing to the national character.

Yesterday morning man named Samuel Baird, ma
