not one ugly one among them. They reflected too
great credit upon Mr.. X. tor the gracefuness Of
their dancing, and the admirable manner in which
they went through the evoutons Of the far-famed
Polka. the waltz, the mazourka, The cotilon, and
whatever else was danced. Miss M. de k
attracted particular attention, as being of the
most beautiful OF the beauties present and indeed
she seemed
a thing all liahtness, life and glee-
One Of the shapes we seem
To meet in visions of the night;
And should they greet our waking sight,
Then Miss M. B. She, too, was one Of
natures flowers OF lOvellness.
Not fairer grows the lily of the vale,
Whose bosom opens to the verna gale;
While health, that rises with the newborn day,

Nor were these all who attracted attention, and
fixed the gaze and admiration OF the gentlemen.
There was variety to suit every taste-the blonde
and the brunette, the air-hared gentle assies and
the dark haired aspiring fair ones, who command
your admiration-lhere was cheerful laughter and
animated conversation, the debutante and the wall
flower. Nor must omit to mention the queen OF
the evening, Miss Louisa A.. She was the
Fairest where all is beautiful and bright!
With what grace she glidas among the flowers
That smile around her, bowing at her touch.

spare. In bnef, then, may say, that though the
majority OF the ladies were indebted to the gifts OF
nature tor their attractions, and were atfired with
becoming grace, neatness and beauty, yet there
were those there, OF whom 1t might be written,
Halfthe charms that deck her face,
Arise from powder, shreds and lace.
The great feature of the evening, it was pre-
sumed, would be the "Polka," but, strange to saw,
the Polka was cast into the shade by the "Ma-
Z,urka." The performance OF the former, by Mr..
Korponay aud his pupils, was watched with great
interest and pleasure, and the admirable ease and
grace with which It was performed, extorted the
admiration OF all hut the admiration was so much
stronger for the Mazourka coton, which was
danced by Mr. Korponay and his pupils, wi h inim-
liable grace and effect-so lively and sprighty,
affectlonate and touching, and wiihal admirably
was the dance performed, and so sweet and inter-
estlug too, were the lovely performers, that on it's
conclusion, the company gave an irrepressible
burst OF applause, manllcsins their qualification BY

Polka cotillion and the quadrile FRANC ise were
also on the list, and were danced with much grace
and pleasure by those engaged iii that amusement,
and watched with undisguised admiration by the
wall flowers.
