The cotiIlon Party,

Tho CosiIlon Party at the Aichison
House on The evening of the 9th inst.
was splendid affair. Notwithstanding the
incleme ncy of the weather there were beau
tifal Bellies enough present to captivaie The
hearts of. the most fantastic. Every thing
went off in an agreeable manner; and
nothing sranspired during the evening TO
MARI the pleasure for a single moment =
The supper, prepared in that elegant style,
which characi erizsd the tables set al this
Popular House, could not be surpassed and
Ireficted much credit on Mr.. Dickinson the
worthy Host a'a 2
We were peculiarly struck with the
beauty of several young ladies. There
was Miss F., she was
"Light as the Angel shapes that bless
An infant dream, yet not the Tess
Rich in all Agoman's loveiiness:
With eyes 80 pure, that from their ray
Daik vice would tiIrn ahashed away, ss s
Blinded like serpents when they gaze
Upon'the Emerald's virgin blaze.n
Then too, there wasthe interesting Miss
B., SO captivating, that near friend of
ours was heard 10 exciaisn
"There's not o look, aswora of thine,
My soul bath e'er forgot @ .sete
II Thou meier hast bid a riaSlet shine,
Nor giv'n thy locks one graceful twine,
Which remember not.'' FL
Tssus his actions proved that he spoke
the sentiments of his heart 1t would re-
quire larger paper than ours to notice at
length each individual ',venus" present on
the occasion. We overheard remark ad-
dressed TO the beautiful Miss P, which
we think was we'll deserved 10
''Then he that tells thee OF thy beauty,
Believe me, only does his daty
All fly not from the candid youth;
1t is not fattery-'tis trnth."
We might go on and give column OF
Poetical declarations which came to our
ears On that evening. But we will not
further tetray the secrets of our young
friends. Fer onrself while gazing on a
lovely face. we were led 70 think with
the Poet fE9ta 'a@ b'S .se
:.As long as this world has such lips aud such
eyes .ss
As before netIiis moment in rapture see,
They may talk as they please of their orbs in
tha skies, i,t @tH6
But this earth is the planet for you love, and
ne.'
We hope we may again. have the pleas
ure of meeting our young friends on sim
aar ocasion. h7s s n.
