The, Exercises were good, The reports
from the literary societies we're good,
the young mems speeches we're good,
and every thing connected with the
Chapel arrangements were good
This is sufficient for every body to
know who was not there but let us
come to n more interesting part Of the
entertainment - the Soiree and the
Ball +; this is always kept in reserve
for the last, as the desert is at the feast
when the heads Of the champagne
bottles are referred, to, without further
discussion.
On this occasion, the Felicianans
worldwide renown for beauty and
loneliness, poured in such a host Of
graceful forms and sweet faces, that
really find it difficult to select from
the bright galaxy and then there
was East Baton Rouge. with a fair
representation Of her bright eyed beau
ties, presenting kind Of tnilky-way of
light and life, and love, that rendered
it impossible to say switch Of the mil
lion has the sway
The ball came off at The Feliciana
House--anl here let me say that you,
that scour the country for something
10 snarl and snap at, should come up
here. and take tile obliging and gen
lemanly proprietor of this house by
he hand, and ask bis pardon for having
sometime since thrown slur at this
establishment that should have been
thrown in at the window Of the mir
roiy office. There is no more obliging
and accommodating landlord in the
State, than Mr.. Willis Moore of the
Feliciana House. But come, let lis
walk up into the Ball room. The
first sweet face that meets the "enrap-
tured eye" Is that of Miss Adelia B..
snow white dress, eneloses form
Of the most exquisite fashion, wreath
Of Ivy" adorns her l,ead-she looks
like one called into existence to EN-
body the ideal Of the poet. The next
is Miss Elizabeth NJ, who il not
stranger to your CRY about whose
witclery, Mr.. Comet, | think you have
on more than one occasion desemted.
| endorse all you have said and as
much more. Miss Sarah E, is
beatty of an other order. Flora
should be called in to give mn ade-
quate description of the Ball : for
truly the lovely daughters Of the Fell
cianas, cannot be embodied in words
without resort to the language and
poetry Of flowers. Here is your own
lovely Miss Lucy -----, in the depth
Of whose large clear eye, the vision
becomes lost and the senses obscured
IT'S like looking into the depths Of
the unfathomed heavens above lis, to
meet n full flash, from such brilliant
refectors---by the side Of Miss Lucy is
the frail and delicate Miss Clara A.
4 lilly Of the first waters" Not to
digress, ! must call your attention for
moment TO very nice young gentle
man now before us. / do SO now for
he may vanish in moment more,
and We may loose sight of him alto
gethcr. The young gent is a very
nice young gent though he be made
Of but small pattern. You will OBJ
serve that he has very stiff shirt
collar, and his hair is combed with a
Beau Bru0aneltsh exactitude. This
Is easily accounted for. Every now
and then, you will observe that he
glide off with a kind of Schottiche
step, and is inv:si ble. This is done
to consult mirror in an anti-room and
apply pomvades, perfumes, powder,
and other preservativss, but now alas,
an accident awaits him, a couple Of
corpulent fun loving gents station
themselves in the apartment and
