The Cincinnati Gazette relates the follow
ing:
One of our wealthy citizens, residing on
Broadway, is known to have numerous &C.
centricities, the most familiar of which, from a
recent event, is his antipathy to all assemblies,
particularly in his own house Several fair
relatives, composing part of his household, had
used all their eloquence to obtain his permission
to party, just one; but the old gentleman was
obdurate. lie would take the girls to Europe
or Saratoga or Newport, or Nahant, get them
new sets OF jewelry-anything but that The
young ladies almost despaired; but finally
bethOught them of obtaining by stratagem what
they could not procure by permission; for their
hearts were fixed upon a party, and a party
they must have.
The old gentleman was in the habit of retir-
ing very early and sleeping very soundly, and
the girls determined to send out invitations
without his knowledge believing that none of
the guests would arrive until the venerable
relative was in the embrace of Somnus.
Extensive preparations were the result; an
effort was made to give one Of the most recherche
parties OF the season. The beautiful and bril-
liant, the gay and fashionable, the witty and
elegant were . hidden to the feast They
came. The luxurious drawing rooms were splen-
did with gas light and diamonds, loyeliness and
gallantry. The air was rich with perfumes of
Paris and flowers; and the most cultivated and
melOdiOus voices chatted and gossjped and
hundreds of fairy feet swept through the dance
and the swell of music was upon the evening
air; when Of a sudden a dreadful apparition
startled the ''merrie cOmpanie'' as ii it had
been the hidcous Red Death OF Poe
The laugh and lOye-tOne were hushed blood
sufused the cheeks and nude necks of the
ladies'; the dance stood STILL the intrument. for
got their airs and died in sudden silence What
was that horrid shape-the ladies pointed their
white fingers and gazed wildly at the door Was
it another ghost like that in don Giovanni :" or
was it a sheeted form from gaping grave
By degrees the vision gathered shape and
looked rs a thing Of earth. The figure was tha,

cane above his head as if he would annihiIate

To strike the fair guests with horror they

swore the louder, and moving further into the
apartments, general stampede took place. OF.
