the most agreeable places Of r.Sort in
our gay metropolis, at this deligh ful sea-
son of the year, is the Ladies Be- Ssr at
Carusi's Saloon. Although not unprs-
pared, from the many fiattering reports
that have heard, to expect something
unusually attractive from the lands Of
the ladies of st. Domiric's, j mu~t con-
fess, In the brief visit that was allowed
me, | was surprised at the beauty and
brilliancy of their festival. Ii appeared
to me that since / last saw it, Il e wand
of an enchanter had passed over q room,
and, by virtue of an unearthl, power,
had converted the time-honorcd all into
a brilliant bazaar of pleasure, filing its
hooks and corners with the trca ures of
eastern wealth, and shedding over all the
lavish splendor of Arabian story. As
you pass up the hall, and glance at the
walls drape1 with the banners of. difer-
ent nations, as you look around at stands
groaning beneath the costly articles that
adorn them, and hear, on all sides. peals
of laughter and girlish frohc, blended
with the strains Of festive music, Fou feel
and acknowledge that an unquestionabie
power is at work, and that woman's en-
ergy, skill and faultlesS taste are the ele-
nents that compose 1t. PHLos.

DETERMINED TO have HIS SAL ARY.-
We once heard that a minister of tho
gospel, who ''held forth" in one of the
most popular churches in this city, when
about to bid his congregation an iuvol-
unta:y adieu, insisted, before leav nc. on
having a mortgage on the church build
ing for the balance of his salary, some
$500 or so; but the following sp ecimen
of clerical independence. and lack Of con-
fidence in the honesty Of his flock, "takes
down" anything that we have yet seen in
that line: ''Rev. E. Taylor preac' ed his
farewell sermon in the Congregational
Church, in Randolph, Mass, last Sunday
afternoon, to q crowded house. In the
course of it, he remarked that there was
about hundred dollars due him ' ct, and
he intended to collect it. Some opposed
that ministers must be content o take
their pay just when parishioners saw fit
to give it, and that it would be entirely
out of character for them to sue under
any circumstances. But he held tho
laborer was worthy Of his hire and
begged to remind those indebted to him
tiat he should remain here until the lst
Of January, and they could settle with
him previous to that time, if they leased.
All who did not, would find their al
counts, af-er that date, in the hands of
Alex. Sheldon, Esq. Alton Courier.

DICKENs's TRIBUTE TO AMERICA.-Dick-
ems closes his Child's History of England
in the Household Words of December 10,
with the following tribute to America:
ut was in the reign of George ILL that
England lost North America, by persist
ing in taxing her without her own con-
sent. That immense country, made in
dependent under Washington, and left to
itself, became the United States, one of
the greatest nations of the earth. In
these times in which / write, it is honor
abbey remarkable fer protecting its sub
jects, wherever they may travel, with .
dignity and determination which is a
model for England. Between you and
me, England has rather lost ground in
this respect since the days Of Oliver CrVm-
we'll"
