Tbere was evidently going to be a conflict

There was evidently going to be a conflict,
we watched it with intense interest. Julien
showed scintillation of that fire that had
sparkled at Navarino and the Bois de Bou-
logne. He PLAYED Yankee Doodle fast, he play
ed Yankee Doodle slow, the instruments imi-
tated the deliberate drawl of Jonathan and an
impudent little octave whistled like all indie
pendence day. We were unmoved. We knew
he could do nothing with it. The conqueror,
waving his wand for reinforcements show
of strategy was intended. Suddenly sharp fir
ing of musketry is heard, then the dull boom
ing of cannon, then the bray of the trumpet,
the thunder of the charge, the clash of crossed
bayonets, the hurrah of the victors, swelled by
the shouts of the audience, which rose and re-
verberated and were renewed above the battle
din, whilst hats and hands waved in wild ac-
compartment, with the triumphant arm that
commanded the orchestra, and the freeman
flag went down in one exultant burst of nat
ural harmony! Now we had cultivated with
great trouble and with much sacrifice of nat
ural inclination, taste for the higher COM
binations of musical science, under the kind
tutelage of amateur associates. We were
getting along very well, and as enjoined by
the good book were fast putting away every
thing that was common" But we had a
patriotic weakness, and when we heard the
thunders of the battle, and heard the old note
of triumph that had risen upon the retreat OF
Howe and CORVALLIS, and Packenham, and
Dacre, and Santa Anna, and Arista, and every
body else that had provoked it, we broke
through our training, and like the rue az ne
gin,enf, we forgot the music Of the schools in
hearing the homely strains of our country. So
we shouted as loud as any one else, and so
would any one else who had even one Ameri-
can drop III his blood We should have been
ashamed of ourselves if we hadn't. But the
great commander conquered Yankee Doodle,
and led it in sheepish custody with the audi
ence at its heels. So we thought that after
having made music Of Yankee Doodle any
where else, except when the roar Of artillery,
and the gallop Of cavalry, and the rattle OF
musketry, and the white stern lips, the con-
tracted brow, and the rush into the red breath
of the deadly pestilence, make a scene above
which its unique and daring melody rises shrill
and Joyous, Mons. julien had developed the
genious of conqueror and the courage Of a
hero. ..

UgIiness VS.. Beauty.-Several nights a &C

UgIiness VS.. Beauty.-Several nights ago n
club of young men, principally residing on the
Island, amused themselves with ball, which was
largely attended the lively proceedings afforded
nefabIe delight TO the participants.
This association is known as the " Ugly Club,
IT." by way of distinction 10 senior organization.
Among them ugliness is apparently more honored
than the most refined charms--the majority, after
the manner of republicans, settling disputed ques-
tons relative to facial claims TO distinction
A Young gentleman of the fourth ward got one
of the knives as premium for his ugliness 1t
was an Indifferent and cheap article but knife
of far better quality was presented TO candidate
uger than himself While beautiful lady was
honored with the gift of steel ring, ugly one
was favored with gold ring! In fact nothing
but ueliness seemed TO be popular and command
a premium
A gentleman, late of this city, once had a knife
presented 10 him by stranger-a sailor-who met
him in the street the old salt having been success
full after long search in finding person who
was, on the score of uglness, fairly entitled TO
take the knife" The story goes, that has wife
was much incensed because her husband should
be thus distinguished. But he enjoyed the sailors
Joke, and pleasantly said to his half, This
occurrence, my dear only affords another evidence
of your good TASTE in selecting HUSBAND"
AS TO beauty, we recoect the expression OF a
blind girl Said she, love Mrs. -, who is so
beautiful" /" How do you know that, Mary
You're sightless. and therefore cannot tell" eyes
tie lady IS SO good 10 me-"
For one, we prefer that beauty should be thus
defined that it may consist in good works, with.
out regard TO mere outward appearance, which too
often alas fosters excessive vanity, at the expense
OF the charitable warmth OF the heart and the i'm,
provement of the mind.
