An Ideal of a Mistress

 And thro.gh the air they fly, I Til. f.intsg with the love they fecl
 They etter down and die
 And uaiat is stranger still than all f
 Te wonders of the grace, 4 ~ | UoJmind's the only thing to catch |
 the glories of her face. | Ci. she is natures paragon l All innocence of art;

 My love will wear bridal veiEs
 A wreath of orange iiowerss
 And so care not if the sul

 Our neighbor, the 'allohai pp'hoe'''' says:

 We can heartily indorse the compliment to MT. McAEstcr, once upon tune our pleasant companion in stage coach but we protest against the plan of the Naticnal ofslippin gfnto heaven by bad photography. Spell ittd'entenee. t
 Thg sne paper says:
 se yss are informed through MT. REED that fsDvIy BooTH and MAGGIE MIrcHEL wig vay. Star engagements at the Little Rc as Theatre this wintcr.' The Anthony House Hop on "Wednesday gnaEht last was quitca pleasant reunion, and r; it may be taken as an indication ot the bgavcties of the coming season, the fall and winter will go by in a whirl of delight and pleasure. The party was just large enough to be social without being boisterous. The vopn,r ladies ulnalaa4l ii4--,. i@---' their siis' 'gaIlants proportionably appreclatlve. It was very evident that Flora Mcflinsy was not present, as none of the ladies could justly complain of 'nothing to wear.o4- As the ladies were all belles it would be malappropos to particularize, though we could name, if we would, the 6eout'es of the cvening-tle. too graces-who, like Juno's swans, went floating by in youthful radiance; or we might tell of a pair of DO etic eyes, of a beauty in pink and another in blue, but instead of that we compliment the good looking pro tenn. editor of the Old Line, and'append the following as the best possible finale to this paragraph-a gem which we find in an exchange, dashed with geaaipe patllos, and illustrating how, in this world of contrasts light and shadow are some times swcctly blended. Perhaps it may touch the heart of some one present at the recent Hop. Who knows?
 The Ball-Room Belle.
 The moon and her starry train
 Were fading from the morning sky,
 
 Rctmnc,, with throbbing pulse and brain,
 Flushed cheek and fearful eye. The plume that danced above her brow, The gem that sparkled in her zone, The scarf of spangled leaf and bongh,
 Were laid aside-they mockcd her now,
 When desolate and lone. That night how many hearts she won; | The reignng belle, she could not stir, But ike the plane Is round the sun, Her suitors folowed---a but one
 One all the world to her! And she had lost him,--Marvel not
 That lady's eyes with tears were wet! | Though love by man is soon forgot, | It never vet was woman's lot
 To love and to forget. | The South Western Democrat says:
 "We understand that during the last term of our probate court, the Judge Wal presented with bottle of good whisky, by I a parson and lawyer; and at the same tim' one of our clover citizens presented his -1sl.s,,er .s; Il. a sso,s s 5 I We have no doubt but his honor's hcat worked freely after such compliments were shown him.
 | We think it somewhat unfortunate tha a parson should put brick in the Judge neD hat. It may improve the clock-worl of the brain, but a {" bottle of good whisky is very poor leg-aey.
