ANCIENT BALL ROOM EuouETrE -
Martinez dowagers and venerable beaux
acted as masters and mistresses Of the
ceremonies, and made all the preliminary
arrangements No couple could dance
unless each party was provided with a
ticket prescribing the precise place in the
dance, If there was no ticket, the gen.
tleman or the lady was dealt with as an
intruder, and turned out of tho dance.
If the ticket had marked upon it-say
for a country dance, the figures 3, S, this
meant that the holder was to place him.
self in the third dance, and fifth from the
top; and if he was anywhere else, he
was set right or excluded. And the
partner ticket must correspond. Woe

was found opposite a youth marked 5, 81
1t was flirting without license and
looked very i'll, and would probably be
reported by the ticket director of that
dance to the mother. OF course, parties
or parents, who wished to secure dancing
for themselves or those they had charge
of, provided themselves with CORRECT and
corresponding vouchers before the ball
day arrived. This could only be accom-.
plished through tho director, aud the
election of pope sometimes required
less jobbiug. " hen parties chose to
take their chance, they nigh, do so but
still, though only obtained 10 the room,
the written permission was necessary
and such thing as a compact to danco,
by couple without official authority,
would have been an outrage scarcely to
be contemplated. Tea was slipped in

WHAT Is A "CANARD"-The origin Of
tho word canard (French for duck }
when employed to signify some unfound.
ell story, is not generally known. The
following are the terms in which NJ
Queteet relates, in the Annuair, de
fAcademie, the manner in which the
word because used in its new sense To
give a sly lift at the ridiculous pieces of
intelligence @hich the journals are in the
habit of ubli>hiug every morning Cor.
neissen stated that an interesting ex.
pertinent had jnst been made calculated
to provo the extraordinary voraoity Of
ducks Twenty Of these animals had
been placed together, aud one Of them
having been killed and cut up into the
smallest possible pieces. feathers and all
and thrown to the other nineteen, had
been gluttouou.ly gobbed mp in an ex-
cecdingly short space Of timo. Another
was taken from tho nineteen, and being
chopped small like its predecessor, was
served up to tho eighteen, and at once
1cvoured like the other aud SO on to
the last, who was thus p'accd iu the po.
siticn of having eaten his nineteen com.
panions In wonderfully short timO. All
this, most pleasantly narrated, obtained
a success which the wliter was far from
anticipating, Cor the story ran the rounds
Of all tho j,urbals in Europe. 1T then
became forgotten for about score Of
years, when it came back from America
with ampli6cation which it did MT boss.

ON THE LAST EVE OF WINTER.

Wv III" Ht"h EN II Ot' WINTER. /.
Farewell to thee stern winter,
Tonight thou 1T pass away,
Calmly as sinks the golden sun
After the smiling day.
As midnight tolls the solemn hour.
Thou 1t take thy silent leave,
With none to bid sad "good bye"
And none for thee to greve.
For though we love thy pearly snow,
And pleasures thou dost bring,
We long to hear the birds once more,
And welcome sunny Spring.
AT thy rude touch the autumn leaves
Fell whitening to the ground,
Ana faded flowers dropped their heads,
AT thy drcar and wintry sound.
II was sad to see our fowerets fair,
ROBBED in snowy white,
And through thy stern and icy reign.
Be shrouded from our sight.
For though thou brought us other Joys
To while dull hours away,
Thou hast brought us none, so dear to me
As happy, smiling May.
To-morrow's sun will gladness bring,
Though wintry il may seem,
1t whispers, "Soon in beauty rare,
Nature will richly BEAM"
Though we enjoy the future boon,
We III not forget thy reign,
We III not forget those by-gone hours
That ne'er will come again.
And as we journey onward here,
Though youth may seem most fair,
We III think that wintry age must come
With furrowcd brow of care.
God gives the seasons each in turn,
The present to enjoy,
We III try to love them each alike,
And well our time employ.
