glowing in anticipation of the pleasure then
to be realized; nor were they disappointed: :
the assembly seemed to be upon the very sum-

in a manner worthy of commendaton; in fact,
this entertainment is said to have We'd with, If

lasses live to adorn the freside Of their respec-

When dark and dreary seems the road
Which winds this weary world upon,
Look trustfllly upward to thy God,
And gently smile" thy will be DONE"
When thy young heart would almost break
With grieE-to others all unknown;
Submissive bow-thou needst not speak,
But sweetly smile" thy will be DONE"
When those on whom thy hopes were staid
Have fown-and thou must weep alone;
o, kneel and kiss the chastening rod,
And meekly smile" thy will be DONE"
When stern Misfortune's iron hand,
The cup of grief has quite o'e run,
Tho bitter, drink at Fate's command,
And brightly smile" thy will be done."
The tears that from thy blue eyes flow,
Shall deck thine own immortal crown;
Then meekly bear Life's bitter woe,
And smile in death" thy will be done. "

The C0tillon Party.

Mr.. EDITOR During summer the citizens
of Smyrna are possessed of many requisites of
enjoyment of which, it is believed, they gene
rally avail hemselves-judging from the nume-
rous Bay Parties," ct cetere, last season-Lut
now,
"That the silver stream which flowed,
On summers bright day, flashing tide,
Is frozen and the boatman's song
Is hushed-and the oar is laid aside
void has been made in the bosom of the
Young Americas" and their attention is turn
ed in some other direction, that means, suitable
to the season, may be adopted, by which many
cold, dreary hours of winter may be rendered
cheerful, and, in their revolving, leave a fond
memory of time sweetly passed. A few weeks
since, Ball, or Cotillon Party" was accord
ngly agreed upon, and the evening of the 2sth
ultimo designated as the time of its coming off.
A committee of arrangements was appointed to
make the necessary preparations, who were not
at all sparing in their pains to render the even
ing one of pleasure unalloyed. Among other
things, they procured the services of most
excellent band of music, whose "charming
strains" tended greatly to the enlivenment and
edifcation of the company assembled.
The evening specified having arrived, about
8 o'clock the Odd Fellows Hall was we'll filled
with persons-near a hundred being present.
among which, were a number of invited guests
from Middletown and other places, composed o
both ladies and gentlemen. A Cotillon wal
then formed, and many were soon
Tripping the light, fantastic toe"
