DEAR BENEFIT
Saratoga is still the same gay delightful resort of
lvaids bachelors, old maids, brokers, bankers and
broken down 6nanciers of all descriptions ages and
genders. New York city sends her full complement
the foregoing classes. BESIDES her bench and bar
are ably represented here Among others, we have
the amiable, agreeable and gentlemanly Judge b.
OF the District Court, and his no less amable SON.
The Judge is very agreeable companlon' ana one
sword OF justice, will fee very much surprised on
nearer acquai nance, to find that the Judge pos
sesses great flow of agreeable nonsense, or That
peculiar kind OF chit chat, which arrests the aten-
ton OF widows and young ladies over five and
| twenty. by the bye, is the Judge a wldowerg II
not think there are several ladies here who wouln
a
shakes oil some of his awkwardness he will have
to remain IN single blessedness;a just judgment on
all clumsy fellows. he makes love in all legal
form and has his peadings so exact that it is i'm.
possible for lady 10 demur TO them, and hence he
| never can raise an argument with them 1t is con.
fined to plea and rejoinder 1t never enters his
head that lady can talk most eloquently, and rea-
/ son most forciby when she is on the wrong side.
Several old maids of my acquaintance have noticed
his frtations with Miss B. OF Philadelphia, and if
their whispers can be credited he is going to file
bill in cupds high court OF chancery, bv virtue OF
which he ayscaim to all the estate right, title, and
interest," claim and demand whatsoever, of in and
to her heart, and every part and parcel thereof,
with the apourtenances Miss 3. Is a charming
singer and hey strains may possibly reach his heart,
his law and logic to the contrary Notwithstanding.
What decision the little winged chancellor will give
his petition, is vet mystery but the old maids,
who my infort nts, throw out some evil bodlngs
against his suit, iron, very trifng circumstance.
Last evening she playe, and sang at the Pavilion,
and in retiring from the p no, ne offered ms arm to
the fair songstress in so awkw ard manner, that one
| of the old maids to whom was whispering some
thing very sweet, vowed if he W. ula oiier ms arm
to her IN that manner, she would pl. MN overa
chair. Mrs. s. from New York, " no seems TO
be an inveterate matchmaker, has one Oh my In
formants told me taken him in hand and m. ~ pro-
baby carry him through.
Barnum OF the Pavilion is in full blast, and has
his house crowded, as every good fellow like him
should have. Music and dancing close each day,
which is but one round of amus.me and pleasure;
every thing is done for the comfort OF his guests,
and all seem delighted with HIM and with each
other. There are several beautiful young ladies'
here now, one in particular dressed in black, whose
graceful form and animated movements takes every
ones attention. have looked particularly through
all the hotels, and find nothing to compare with
her, so can fearlessy pronounce her the belle Of
the Springs and might add the belle Of the season.
When she makes her appearance, all the young
| men begin TO cast sleeps eyes at her, and my par
ticuar friends, the old maids really look daggers at
her. am afraid TO look at her when they are pre-
sent, lest they might suppose she was going to draw
oil my attention from them, circumstance by no
means wish, for it is only through them that can
have the earliest intelligence of all the scandal.
The most remarkable thing about the Pavilion,is
the length OF the gentlemen's noses, some OF them
being of prodigious length; when one takes side
view OF them at table, they look like so many break
waters to bridge. The Union is noted for lis red
noses To stand on the opposite side OF the street
in the morning, and them file of to the Spring.
one would suppose that ca oh gentleman that emerged
from the hoteli had faring torch stuck on 10 his
| face. SPECTATOR.
