search of sport soon found himself at q ball
in the peighborhood of North and Bath stress.
After tripping it on the light fantastic toe
for few hours, an acquaintance Of only an

procure another. The Washingtoniap having
become kind and liberal by several potations
of champagne, was no. hing 10th, and at once
handed over a new tile to his unfortunate
friend. After waiting until the ball was about
to break in and his quondam acquaintance
not having returned, he became uneasy, and
informed one of the Gentlemen, who still re;
maiped, of his awkward position. His second
new friend Immediately offered his services to

cradle portion Of the grounds of this new GENE

high, and sufi GENTLY massive to be in fine pro-
portion-of rich Italian marble beautifully
clouded, and highly polished. The design on
| the monument is by Mrs. T. herself 1t is
| unique and expressive. 1t represents an oak
tree In full foliage, 10 a shattered and falling
condition, as if suddenly broken by storm

the branches for support, but with the broken
tree is falling to the ground. Underneath this
design is the motto, '' Cling not to earth -
