CLOSE OF THE FASHIONABLE SEAsoN-In most
of the fashionable resorts tie close of tho
season Is celebrated BY a grand fancy and dress
ball. That Of Newport came off last night, and
we see by the programme of arrangements
that there no less than some hundred and
fifty managers, and members Of the committee of
directions, charged with the superintendent of the
fete. This number comprises governors Of States,
judges, generals and colonies, lawyers, merchants,
and physicians. At the White Mountains, the
grand ball Of the season is to take place this even
ing; but here they show more modesty, and do not
parade more than dozen names as managers In
this manner all the amusements and follies OF gay
life at the mountain and shore are appropriately
brought to termination, and n season OF coolness
ndsobriety succeeds to the summer months OF fash
ionable dissipation.

LOLA Monies AND BARNUM Lola Monies seems
to have been lately taking lesson from the book
Of Barnum, and bids fair to beat him with his own
weapons. by working for popularity in the last few
weeks Of summer vacation. One Of the most extra
ordinary efforts she has made to Guido Barnum, ap-
pears to have been the Lola Monies pic mic given ut
Yonkers a few days ago, which, it is said, out
stripped entirely the famous feast given BY Barnum,
at lranstan. to all the oyster house critics of this
city. Lola has beaten Barnum, and completely
eclpsed his fdte For full account of this curious
pic mic, in which Barnum, Greeley, and the rest of
the editors and celebrities, appear to have figured,
either in person, by spiritual manifestations we
refer our readers to this weeks Pick-price two
cents written, printed, and published by the Hon.
and Rev. Joseph A. Scoville, Am. and D D having
recently received these honorary appendages to his
name, we suppose, from Harvard University, which
has lately been SO liberal in giving their diplomas to
distinguished pcrsonagcs in this quarter.

GENERAL ScoTr AFLOAT.--We lean by the alb
clifton organs Of this latitude, that Gen Scott arri
we'd here Tuesday last; that he spent part of the
day and night at the Hoboken country residence Of
the Hon JamesG King, head of the financial house,
and branch of the Earrings, in Wall street; and that
on Wednesday, after seeing DR.. Charles King, the
President of Columbia College, he left the city,
route by the Hudson River Railroad. for West Point,
where we suppose he sojourns for few days.
This movement of Gen. Scott is probably one Of
much Importance, and may have reference to the
diplomatic appointments which viii be necessary
for him to make, after his Inauguration the
fourth of March-for his election he himself Oew
others) considers certain. And in good sooth
We are half Inclined to coincide with him in
this opinion, particularly since the Fourrcrte
Phalanx Of New Jersey, and the Womens Rights
Convention. all coming out at this important
crisis in favor Of his elevation to the Presidency
We should not be surprised, therefore. to find
James G. King in the event of Gen SCOTS election
and inauguration, called to the Office of Secre-
tary Of the Treasury that Charles King should be
sent as Minister to the court of St. James; that
Rufus King, n son Of one of the family, should be
sent Minister to the Elyscc; that another King,
also Of the same Stock should be appointed Collect
of New York. that another King shoald receive
the appointment of Minister to Mexico; that an
other King should be made Surveyor Of the Port Of
New York; and that another King should be sent
rs Minister to Vienna If there any more Kings,
of that distinguished family, yet left without
offices, there is doubt that plenty of vacancies
can be made to satisfy their ambition Aud if all
the now existing Kings should be supplied with
offices, there still few offices which can be
kept vacant for those to be born hereafter The good
old era Of federalism, when the name Of Rufus King
called up ''spirts Fl m the Vastly Deep" win b

All yes, Iremember that name with delight
Sweet Alice, 90 cherished and dear;
seek her lone grave in the pale hour o.
night,
And moisten the turf with tear,
And there, when the heart is o'erburdened
with woes,
wander and muse all alone,
And long for the time when my head shall
repose,
:. Where sweet Alice lies under the stone
I roam through the wood where so Joyous VIC
strayed
And recline on the green sunny hill;
All things are as bright in that beautiful
glade,
But my heart is lonely and chill,
The hand that SO fondly pressed then in
mine,
And the lips that was melting in love-
Are cold in the grave, and I'm left to repine
Till I meet with sweet Alice above.
Ali we'll remember the school house and
brook,
And the master 20 kind and so true;'
The wild blooming flowers in the cool shady
nook,
SO fragrant with incense and dew.
but weep not for these though 80 dear 10
my heart
Nor the friends that have left us alone
The bosom will beave, and the tear drops
will start,
For 'sweet Alice lies under the stone

There are comparatively few in q
community, who have any idea of the
constant labor performed in printing
office. We speak of the physical labor
not the mental, for editors have so long
trumped to the world the hard lot they
fill, that the story has become old and
stale.
There are thousand little matters to
be attended to by the printer that can
not enter into the calculation of the la
Dor he performs still each and every
one calls for some exertion on his part,
and in addition to his labor, requires him
to be the slave of his vocation.
While others engaged in manual la
Dor have for their seasons of relief and
enjoyment, the printer must be toiling
at his stand, moving his yet brisk but
wcaried fingers, for the after satisfaction
of those who are permitted to enjoy the
fruits of his labor.
In the printing Office night is frequent
ly turned into day, and in some " the
Sabbath is not known" but from weeks
end to weeks end, is heard the everlast-
ing clicking of the tell tale" types and
the numbering noise of the press, as it
throws off its work.
But gloomy as the picture is, in the
life of a printer, is there not something
glorious in his position, although con6n-
ed, and denied the cessation Of toll,
given to others How dark and gloomy
it would be without the light he sheds
upon it. How his handicraft, at times
electrifes and astonishes his fellow men
and after all, what other artisan has SO
much benefited his kind as the printer.
From the days of the counting Faust he
has exercised control over the feelings
and actions of his fellow men, astonish-
ing and grand, always to their good,
never to their determent. To this art,
nations far off and remote, are indebted
for Che light of christianity, and at his
command Republics have sprung into
existence, the good perpetnated, and
evil put down.
These thoughts must encourage and
crafty him, as he ever pursues his ever
accumulating task, the honor of his no.
bic calling must sustain him, in his hours
Of wasting strength and faltering resolu-
ion. The one must compensate for the
other, and honor must step in to console
him for his toilsome lot.

Bag Talking of Business, the Boston

Bee sensibly says:
The way to do business, keep up
with the times, and be somebody, is to
advertise. And, as matter of course,
the way to run behind hand, to sink
into obsoletism, and be nobody, is
not to advertise. The logic of both
propositions is straight and Legitimate.
The man in these days who supposes
he can get along without putting his
sign into the newspapers, will wake up

The matter of advertising is no longer
an experiment, but tried fact just as
much so as the plainest thing in mathe-
mates. He who supposes that the
world will hunt him up, when buried in
shadows, while others are dashing out
into the broad sunlight, has yet to learn
the rudiments of success, penetrate the
wind of victory. f
The more publicity business has,
the more it is put into peoples ears, the
better it will be for the man doing it.
Hence in the best regulated and largest
fortune making establishments there is
set apart certain amount for advertis-
ing, just as much as for paying bills and
meeting notes. 1t is rightly considered

MY Wife.

Long years ago l met child,
As through the world ! passed,
She was the first star Of my life,
The dearest and the last.
An angels child, by some strange fate,
To earth a dweller driven,
Who brought her virtues TO my heart,
And left her wings in heaven.
I dreamt not that this child Of love
Would mine for ever be,
That she had come to tread this world,
This weary world, with me.
But as in kindness, side by side,
We wandered, day by day,
The more loved her, and the more
She seemed inclined to stay.
Twas strange, that from that very hour
l never knew a care,
But seemed through some unearthly power
A pleasant thing to bear;
And if perchance her gentle eye
Fer marked q tear in mine,
Twas turned to smiles by her kind heart
And treasured on its shrine.
Around my growing destiny,
Her hopes still centered were,
For much tried to make this world
A pleasant home to her;
And still withal she seemed content
To bear its rougher part,
Together with the joys she found
Whilst nesting at my heart.
And thus together, hand in hand,
We trod this vale Of tears;
Our youth departing. but our love
Increasing with our years;
Forgetting all that outward world,
Made up Of grief and sin,
But loving more the world above,
And bright world within.
The cheek that closely presses mine,
Is furrowed now by years,
For We have known the cares Of life,
And we have wept it's tears;
But God was ever kind to us,
Although the world was cold,
And we are growing happier,
As~we are growing old.
There seems brighter world in view,
A home from sorrow free,
A dwelling of eternal years,
For my dear wife and me.
And o the angel Of my youth,
So good and very fair,
know will take her wings again,
And be my angel there.
