assembled, his heart is bankrupt" and
he can pay his debt of homage to none
in particular, but must bestow dividend
on all alike; The charade was played the
other night at the Villa Eugene; and who
could play the heroine as well as the En-
press herself?
The ball, more brilliant even than the
former one, was somewhat saddened by
the non-attendance of the Emperor, who
was compelled to retire early, on account
of indisposition. M. de Caux led the
cotillion. He had been telegraphed for
on purpose. His talent was never made
more manifest than on this occasion,
and he has enriched the dance with a new
figure, which will, no doubt, be eminently
successful at the balls this winter. Each
lady is provided with flag of bright and
variegated colors the leader of the cotil-
lion holds wand, from the top of which
float long ribbons of every tint of the
rainbow. The movement consists in the
obligation of each lady to seize the ribbon
of the same color as the flag which has
fallen to her share. The maneuvre is
extremely difficult, as the rapidity with
which the leader flies through the figure
dazzles the sight to mixing the colors so
that the eye can scarcely seize the SINH
larity. When all are taken, the ladies'
whirl rapidly round the leader until he
is completely enveloped in the ribbons,
and drops upon one knee, when the dance
is ended.--London Court Journal.

Of all the world most dear,
Whose heart is like the golden sheaves
That crown the ripened year:
Whose cheek is fairer than the sky
When blushing into morn,
Whose voice was in the summer night
OF silver streamlots born.
To one whose eye the brightest star
Might for sister own;
Upon whose lip the honey.tee
Might build her waxen throne
Whose breath is like the all that woos
The buds in April hours,
That stirs within the dreaming heart
A sense of opening flowers.

Nor thirsty summer waste.

the EMPRESS COTILLION.


Renaissance of tho elhood of the Empress Eugorie,
Biarritz is full OF the renovated gayety
and spirit infused into the Court circle
by the absolute return to the lightness and
iasouciance Of youth displayed by the Em

The adventure happened at Pampeluna,
near which place the Mentijos possess a
little ieudal castle, much beloved of the
younger portion Of the family, and to this
day often regretted by the Empress Eu
genie.
One evening grand ball and recep-
ton took place at the Taconera, in honor
of the visit of a certain Austrian Arch,
duke out upon his travels. The Governor
professed, at that time, most ardent ad-
miration for the gay and youthful Euge-
ME, who had scarcely arrived beyond the
period of childhood, and, indeed, in any
other country than Spain, would have
still been confined to the nursery.
The excess Of delight experienced by
the little sonora, at being thus the bright
particular star of the ball, can be readily
imagined.
The sober old Governor, brave and
tried old soldier, had nothing to refuse to
the fair creature, the contemplation of
whose very youth and merriment, made
him young and merry likewise, and the
beautiful Eugene danced to her hearts
content, till any other but herself would
have been exhausted. But so long as one
single partner remained, it was not likely
that this most indeialigable votaly of the
contredance and cotilion would yield to
the fatigue which others felt, or to the
desire which others might express of with
drawing from the ballroom.
At length she was led out by the greater
celebrity present at the fete-the general
appointed by the queen in attendance on
the Archduke. He was a regular and
true type of the old Spanish grandee--

pursy--hurried and short in speech, tho
formal and ceremonious in manner. The

HOW THEY 90 TO BED.

The difference between a man and
woman, in disposition, finds no palmer
illustration than that afforded at the
moment when either of them retires to
bed.
The young girl trips gaily to her cham.
ber, and with the cautious timidity pe.
culiar to her sex, first locks the doors
and arranges the window curtain, so that
byno possible chance passerby or belated
nocturnal wanderrer from the pavement
can catch a glimpse Of her budding
beauty when en- d,sha6He This task
completed, she turns on the gas to its
full, and institutes general search
throughout the apartment, that she may
be sure it does not contain "horrible
burglar or desperate rufian," in big
whiskers, and crisp black hair Care
fully, with her delicate little fingers, she
lifts the bed valances, peers into places
where even Tom Thumb couldn't squeeze
his diminutive corporation, and takes a
cursory peep into the half emptied trunk,
not forgetting to glance nervously under
the sofa, the space between which and
the floor is not sufficient to contain the
ghost Of Calvin Edison, much less an or.
dinary robber.
Having ascertained that she is really
alone, she leisurely proceeds to divest
her fair form of "the silk and linen con-
ventionalities of society,"" First, she re-
lieves her glossy hair from its thraldom
of pins and combs and "does it up'' more
compactly. Then comes off the little
collar, and the little vapor cloud of lace
she calls her undersleeves, which ell the
day have been clasped around her white,
plump arms by couple, of India rubber
straps. Next the Glove of a spring silks
dress is tlnfastened in front. Then sun
dry waist-strngs and buttoned straps are
unloosened, and 10 ! what a collapse, like

with a quick twist of her fingers ties the

is thrown on over the frilled chemise,
