Miss Flora McFlmsey Of Madison Square,
A lady of fashion. of wealth and of beauty,
Spent money like water for stuff for lie hair,

To paint The fine Ily-to perfume the rose
To gid refined gold-though few would suppose
Miss Flora McFlmsey, with beauty rare,
Required aught to make her more c!Iarmingly
fair

Union Meeting at Chicago.

There was very large ard spirited Union
meeting at Chicago on Saturday night last.
The Tribune says:
Zone fact was developed beyond the posi-
blity Of cavil or dispute, to wit; that there is
no division of sentiment in Chicago on the
question of maintaining the Union al all haz~
srds. The meeting was percided over by a
Democrat prominent III the city and State. The
committee on resolutions was composed of in
fluential citizens attached to both political par
ties No sentiments were expressed and no
re solutions offered which did not look to a res
olute adherence to the Jacksonian declaration
1.-The Union must, and shall be preserved. -
