"All the worlds stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts"
"On with the dance let Joy be unconnnedj
No sleep till morn, where youth and pleasure meet,
To chace the glowing hearts with flying feet"
On Thursday, the 18th inst, the grand tets OF Mrs
came off, with great eciat, surprising all eth.
ers ever given in the city, not excepting that
of the Palais dor. Every necessity which taste
could devise, or wealth could procure, was put into
requiston by Mrs. -, to render this fste one OF
the most distinguished of Its kind. Nothing was
omitted which could afford amusement or gratifica-
ton, either to the eyes or palates of the guests;
while Nature, who often evinces her caprices
or ill humor on such occasions, was kind enough TO
withhold her accompaniment Of rain. Smiling ia
ces and laughing eyes might be seen in all direc-
tons, and it appeared if every individual of the
party had shaken off their SORROWS land chagrn for
the night
One often wonders that the railers against the
expenses and luxury of the rich and great never
recur to the good which these expenses and luxu-
res produce. Where would be the poor artisan
where the laborng mechanic where the thousands
with no vocation whatever, and who get their bread
by servtude without the luxury which the cynic
and radical would term wicked and useless?''-
What common observation is it among this class
of persons to exclaim 81 Shame upon the rich, who
are riotng in the Injuries OF prouslon; who revel
in feasts and bask in the sunshine OF pleasure,
while the poor are starving" What is SO likely TO

the superutes of the rich provide for the necessi.

quadrille without casting a thought upon the sums

the highest to the lowes-from duke who, with
silk clad legs, speed upon carpets Of Turkey, slices
his pineapple sugars his orange at night, to the
sounds of Mozart or Rossni, to dustman who
cleans away the peels and bearings in the street to
timabuum of the licensed scavenger. 1t is these
indulgences which enable the tradesman tenant TO
pay his rent, and thus the perpeuation is preserved
and continued, flowing from its source and gradual

in its progress.
Your pardon for this DEPRESSION, which may be
deemed abstract. But / earnestly recommend
due consideration OF the preceding remarks, to those
who, from mistaken notions, are apt to consider the
Injuries of the great useless prodigalty
The room exhibited most extensive molly group
The illumination was not only splendid, but profuse,
in all parts Of the house the band of music all in
full sound, and the room displayed most brilliant
assemblage of company. Indeed, it was an impo-
sing scene altogether, however familiar the eye
might be with amusements of this kind. The act-
witty, life, fun froic, gaiety, mrth and good humor
which presented ITSELF gave it that peculiar Of
interest which renders description imperfect to
person who never witnessed such scene. But
look, what stately form is that, that moves along
with so majestic stride, encased IN black armor,

stood forth distinguishd from the crclins crowd.'
But see that little laughing flower girl, whose clear
and ringing tones and oewlt,ching costume made
of the celestial empire, enrobed In dress OF snowy
richness and gorgeous beauty, and whose high en-
noblng mien and rich attire, gave grace and motion
TO each step
"she alone, shone fairest ofthe night,
With matchless pearls and jewels light"
All! there slides the sweet little Tyroese peasant
girl whose jetty .curs and blue eyes shone peerless
with queen-llke air and noble gait, the Eastern
Princess, bedazzled with gems and pearls of price,
less value.
"What winning grace! what majestic mien
She moves q goddess and she looks queen"
See, who is this that approaches, with com.
handing gait! It's Helen Campbell, "Rob's wife,"
