their hearts appeared to beat so happily. am
sure they enjoyed themselves well. Ali who
could not feel happy where beauty and pleasure
go hand in hand 9-for those young and
Lovely faces, blooming with health and Joy. Their
beauty enthrals you, and who could quit such an
assemblage, without bleeding heart? Many
spark has first been kindled here and manya union
been consummated. Itwoud be in vain to par
ncularize all the ladies present-sutice it that
their loneliness seemtd 10 eclipse themselves, and
II was the gayest assemblsge of young hearts,
where beauty, flashing wit, and hilarity are COM
bined But there is who left no slight impress
SION upon my heart. Her modesty captvated me
at once; and those eyes, fringed with such beaut-
ful dark lashes, and beneath which there sparkled
such a brlliancy in those CLASSY orbs, that il
haunts my memory yet. Her face !--ah, it was
in that lovely expression that first caught the
inspiration of love. 1t glowed with Hebe's fresh
ness, and beauty and intellect chastened by a
retiring modesiy. The symmetry Of her person
was no less beautiful than herself, and
The pride, too, Of her step, as light
Along the unconscious floor she went
Seemed that Of one born with right
To walk some heaveniier element"
In fine, her person exquisitely finished as
any poets "creaton Of the heart" She was per-
iectly beautiful, but Shakespeare must speak
what my heart would.
..a "Full many lady
have eyed with best regard, and many time
The harmony Of their tongues hath unto bondage
Drawn my too diigent eyes.
But you. O you
so perfect and so peerless, are created
Oh every creaturrs best"
will not tire you any longer with love, but
trust that the lady IN pink, and who appeared no
less lovely the next day in saffron colored mus
lin, will forgive an erring heart,and attribute this
madness TO u blind enthusiasm of her beauty.
"To err is human, to forgive divine"
But forget myself their feet were still flying, ah!
"On with the dance, let joy be unconined."
Their twinkling feet danced over the floor like
deer sporting through the forest; and thus
continued their JOY till ii o'clock, when the fro
works being announced the room was soon clear
ed. and they took their stand upon the upper bal
cony of the hotel
The evening" as said, was not very fine, and
there hung thick fog in the atmosphere Still it
dc not rain, and we could enjoy the fireworks,
though not so much as had it been clear. The mag
nifcent rockets Were entirely lost TO the eye for
they did not ascend more than forty feet in the
air, before the fog snatched them from our view,
and then W. lost sight of the many beautiful stars
and serpents, and could only hear its bursting, land
Immediately after sudden CLEAN IN the atmos-
phere, and that all. In addition to this, we
had great variety IF wheels of different sizes
and beauty. Roman candles, and large blue
lights, whose brilliant light fell upon the fair
group, presenting dazzling display of faces
The sudden shower of stars which ascG nded in
the air, in every direction, was vociferously APP
plauded, and received the universal appreciation
Of the ladies. Thus their sport was kept up till
nearly one O'clock We were indebted for this
brilliant display OF fireworks, to Mr.. B., of N.
Y, to whom, am sure, the ladies were deeply
| thankful and all retired well pleased to sleep
sweetly and soundly after the tolls of the day.
