THE BALL AT THE BALLARD PoUsE.-
brilliant company participated in the ball at the
Ballard House on THURSDAY night. The ladies
we're dressed in the most approved style. and many
of them possessed personal charms which enchan
ed the attention Of all who came within their in-
fluence. 1t is necessary to say, however, that
Richmond contributed nothing towards making up
the galaxy OF beauty this pleasant OCCASION for
if We are correctly informed, every lady in atten-
dance, came from other portions of Virginia or
other States. We regret to add the notifying
fact that very few of our city gentlemen were
present. However, though the numbers were
comparatively small, the Ball was decidedly great.
The ladies were attractive, have already said,
the music was excellent and the supper in every
respect superb. Mr.. BALLARD, always mindful OF
the comfort of his guests, never exerted his pow.
ers more successfully than on this occasion. The
supper WAS spread in the large dining room of the
Exchange. and comprised every delicacy and luxu-
~ to crafty the appetite, while the tables were
adorned with every ornament necessary TO please
the eye. Besides large number of bouquets,
there ten confectionery pyramids, one Of
which was of unusual size and magnificence. This
part of the banquet was entrusted to j. j. Richard
son, the Confectoner of the establishment, and be
performed it we'll. Excellent wines were provided,
and nothing was lacking to render the entertain
ment sunptuous and inviting. The whole affair
passed eff happily, and BALLARD was profusely
compimented, as he deserved,

CRUELTY TO sEAMEN.

We suppose that every attentive reader of the
newspapers must be struck with the frequent eases
of cruelty perpetrated by masters of vessels upon
seamen, dozen (which occur to every case of
cruelty by the master to the slave. The number
of deaths resulting from inhuman treatment on
shipboard, seems to be constantly the increase.
Scarcely week passes but We hear of some poor
wretch being killed outright, dying lingering
death from the effects of his wounds, MANNED
and crippled for the rest of his life Although
this shocking inhumanity is not confined to the
fleet of any particular nation, 1t IS, We are sorry to
say, most frequent and common among American
merchantmen; so much so as to have attracted the
attention Of the magistracy in Liverpool, from
whom it has elected comments, not very cOmpll-
mentary to American masters of vessels, nor to
the administration of justice in this country, where
it rarely happens that any of these murderers re-
ceive their deserts.
We submit that here is broad and inviting
arena for the surplus philanthropy of the United
States, such it cannot find in the cotton planta-
tions or tobacco fields of the South or in any por-
ton of the whole earth accessible to American in-
fuence. When we recollect that about four hun
dred thousand men are engaged in the merchant
marine of the United States, and similar number
in that of Great Britain to say nothing of the null
titudes who serve under other flags and when we
bear in mind that all of these are divided among
thousands of little floating principalites each gov
erned by potcntate of despotic powers, the hap
piness of whose subjects depends upon the dispo-
sition of their MASTER who can lash, and torture,
and slay at his good pleasure, we shall find enough
to engage the activity and united exertions of all
the philanthropists in the world for the next hun
dred years 1t is true that many ship captains
humane and merciful men, and so are many des-
potts. but it is also true that all have the power and
opportunity to be inhuman and cruel, and that, un
til their powers more clearly defined and limit
ed and until the courts afford equal justice to the
mariner and the master, the condition Of the com-
mon sailor is more helpless and miserable than that
of the subjects of any monarch upon earth.-Rich-
n1ond Dispatch. ...'

CHARACTER AND REPUTATION.

The following extract from the Address before
the Young Ladies of Edgeworth, on the eth of
May last, by JAS. A. Long, Esq, of Greensboro,
is the best we have ever read on the distinction
between character and reputation:
What then is character, and what is reputation
character" says Blair ''is derived from the natu
raj sense of stamp mark and is fguratvely eus-
ployed as the moral mark which distinguishes
one man from another; reputation, from the latin
reDWtO, to think, signifies what is thought of per-
son; character lies in the man, it is the mark of
what he is; reputation depends upon others, it is
what they think of him; character has always
foundation reputation has more of lecture in it,
its source is hearsay" Character is the moral
principle and lies within the man, and is entirely
Independent of others, whereas, reputation is as
uncertain and as unstable as the Winds depending
entirely upon the breath of the multitude--the
multitude, which one day went forth to meet the
King of Kings, singing hozannahs, and bearing
palms in their hands, aud the next day placed
crown of thorns upon his head, crying "away with
him, cruelty him, cruelty him." A mans char
acter may be as bright and pure as refined gold,
as full Of promise as the rainbow in the heavens,
and yet he be utterly destitute Of reputation. No
character can ever again be delineaed so pure,
spotloss and lovely as that of our Saviour, and yet
he was man of no reputation, despised among the
people. Again man may fill the mouth of fame,
occupy exalted stations, and yet be bankrupt in
character, he having for the purpose of acquiring
this reputation, sacrificed every moral principle.
Kings may confer titles, may build up for their
favortes hollow reputation deck them with
ribbons and stars and throw around them a tnsel
of glittcring gold, but to make an honest man, is
beyond the pretenson, beyond the power of kings"

A HINT FOR THE LADIES.

An exchange paper has bit of advice to young
ladies, setting forth how they may know whether
young gallant is really courtinG them, or only
Eayng them polite attentions. The confoundng
the one with the other has been the of very
much trouble both before and since the end of
Pickwick and Barde
A young man admiros a young girl and must
manifest it. He can't help doing SO for the life Of
him. The young lady has tender heart, reacll-
ing out like tendrils for something to cling to.
She sees the admiration; is f1attered; begins to
love; expects some tender avowa and perhaps
gets so far as to decide that she will choose a
''whte silk under that gauze, ETC." at the very
moment that the gallant she half loves is popping
the question to another damsel ten miles off.
Now, the difficulty lies in not precisely under
standing the difference between "pOlite attention
and the tender manifestations of love. Admiring
a beautiful woman, and Wishing to make a wife Of
her, are not always the same thing, and therefore
it is necessary that the damsel should be on the
alert to discover to which class the attentions paid
her by handsome and fashionable young men
belong.
First then, if a young man greets you in fond,
free, hearty tone if he knows precisely where to
put his hands, stares you strag in the eyes, with
his mouth open; if he turns his back to speak to
another; if he tells you who made his coat; if he
eats heartily in your presence if he fails to talk
kindly to your mother; if, i'll short, he snee2es
when you singing, criticises your curs, and
fails to be foolish every hour, then don't fall in
love with him for the world He only admires
you let him say what he will to the contrary.
On the other hand if he is merry with every
body else, but quiet with you; if he be anxious to
see if your tea is sufficiently sweetened and your
dear person wrapped up when you go out in the
cold; if he talks very low and never looks you
steadily in the eye; if his checks arc red and nose
only bushes, it is enough If he ronps with your
sister, sighs like pair of old bellows looks solemn
when you are addressed by another gentleman,
and in fact is the most STILL awkward, stupid yet
envio,is of all your male friends, you may go
ahead and make the poor fellow too Happy for his
skin to hold him. as
Young ladies keep your heart in case of good
leather, some other tough substance, until the
right one is found without doubt, after which you
can 90 and love, court and be married, aud be
happy, without the least bit Of trouble.
We consider this advice so sensible that al
though it is open to the charge of bluntness,
have no hesitaionin pressing it upon the attention
of our lady readers g7a0 g r. a'
