When wound up the business and cares Of the

Supper done, and the table made clear,
'Tis sweet to see round its happy array
A family loving and dear;
While American papers the table o 'erspread,
Instructive and moral in tone,
And among all the rest, with avidity read,
A bright Eren5ug Star of our own.

And his :: Flag''-the = Illustrated News, -

Aiming true taste and worth to diffuse:

With others familiarly known,
Yet still we prefer, in the whole shining host,
The bright Ere~sNg Star of our own.
As Astrology gives to the mortals of earth,
TO each his particular star,
II Destiny ruling as star of his birth,
Ever watched and beheld from afar
SO ase view the Star of our City with pride,
As blent with orr interests alone;
And it shines with lustre no vapor can hide.
The bright Ereu1ng Star of our own
Its rays spread around with clear, steady
light

And showing forth many less favored site,
And blemish, that MT gilt be forgot,

Ger all is its strong press-light thrown,
Single-eyed is its sleepless and keen searching

SO brilliant, so beautiful, mild;
On the least of thy & twinkles'' we fasten our

With the pleasure of toy-loving child
When in splendour's full beams thou attrat'

The essence of Truth round thee thrown.
We rejoice there is fixed in Washington sky.

LOVE IN AN OMNIBUS,
By G. G. HALPINE.

[ 1stepped into Broadway stage and
esconsed myself in corner 1t the door.
The place, like others of more Importance,
had its convenience and discomforts-

when [ wanted to leave-.he discomforts
OF having ones toes trodflen into plump
by whoever passed in CT out the convey
ance.
We pulled up at Union Square to take
in singularly pretty traveller. Pretty2
[ think she was! ),ever did [ touch a
softer hand than he's, as helped her in.
Never did eyes of rlore maiden like lustre
thank me for the trivial courtesy.
She sat in the corner opposite mine; so
that, without w'ienching round my head
at the expense of an immaculate shirt
collar, | had 10 option but to look at her
and did hok.
A long, passionate gaze, told me that
she was fut eighteen, very elegantly
dressed, &C mely and good natured looking.
Yes, conf ly beyond common comeliness :;
and gent'-e spirited exceedingly. Had she
not been SO, she must have resented my
scrutiny. But she smiled. Oh, heavens
what teeth what blossom of the cactus
on I.er cheek what depth of mystic
loTisness in her large, luxurious, almond
sf.aped blue-eyes
Her hair was not curled, nor plain, but
tillowy: as if a fountain of golden amber
had played upon her head and clothed it
in bright ripples. Her dress was neat
and fashionable, though of simple mate
rials: its great charm was the perfect
cleanliness and purity which it evidenced.
She looked like rose bud with the May
morn dew still fresh in it's bosom; she
was the lilly Of the omnibus-of the val
ley-I mean and, as she sat smiling be
fore me, blessed every jolt of the car
rlage for permitting my knees to touch
even the hem Of her garment.
Let it not be disguised in any vain pre-
amble. Twas in love-in love at first
| sight-and my whole frame quivered
with currents of the newly begot electric
ity.
She smiled on me, and this was enough
to intoxicate. No words could describe
my emotion, so novel, SO enhancing, so
| joyfully delirious and dreamful was that
ride in the Gathering omnibus.
| Drawing out purse Of silver network
she dropped her handkerchief-wGs 1t not

ceive 1.-THE case was plain; and the
| conclusion-viz that she wished me to

farther: might not her name and address
be inscribed on a corner of the happy
mouchoir de pouche. OF course it might:
it was, She wished me to call, to be-
come intimate with her, to love, to marry
her! Great Heavens. what ecstacy of
bliss!
Not moment was to be lost. 7
dropped my cane to conceal the true
motive of STOPPING from the other passen
gers; seized the embroidered muslin, and
buried it between my waistcoat and my
heart
Still she did not, Or pretended she did
not, see me. We were now nearing
Trinity Church, and as had pressing
engagement in Wall street, must quit
the ark in which my dove would be borne
away to another nest. But how could I
leave without assuring her that her beauty

MRS. PARTINGTON AT TIIF OPERA.-We
were surprised, at the opera last evening,
by having hand placed upon our shoul-
der. It was gentle touch altogether
like certain other touches on the shoulder
that delinquent men SO much dread. 1t
came at a time when we were all absorbed
by the melody of the charming Sontag,
and were provoked by the intrusion
"Will you be kind enough to lend me
your observatory 2" asked voice that we
thought we remembered. Looking round,
we cried, * Mrs. Partington - 1t was,
indeed, that estimable dame, but yet it
was not: for the black bonnet had disap-
peared, and new rigolette adorned her
venerable poll, beneath which every sprig
of wavy grey was securly tucked. But
the smile was there, as warm as a June
morning at nine o'clock. She repeated
the request to use the pearl and diamond
studded opera glass that we had hired at
Fetridge's for twenty-five cents-denom-
mating it an " observatory" els this
the right pocus O. said she: es'p pose
shall have to digest it TO my sight, for my
poor visionary orgies are giving out. -
She leveled both barrels at the singers at
once, and brought them down to her, and
Pozzolini directed three successive appeals
to her tenderness. & 1t amt no use,"
she said, as she handed us the glass, Z" I
can't understand better with that

at the door" She beat time gracefully to
the music for while upon the cover Of
her snuff-box, and then went out, like al
exhausted candle, to try and light On Ike,
who was trading for .jacknife with ano4
ther boy On the gallery stairs.

counter Of wit between several artists,
who were discussing and satirizing each

graver, and a marine painter, combined
to depreciate the work of third, por-
trait painter, who, at last, provoked be-
yond forbearance, ssilenced the twain, and
set the listeners in roar, by exclaiming:
