BrOOkes, SOiree.
The soiree last evening at Bro0kes' Assembly
Rooms, In Broome street. was attended by q select
company the gentlemen being in the majority, how
ever. There was much to be admired in the tot
lettes OF the ladies, who were for the most part
young sprightly and handsome, and under whose
witching influence the hours passed ION golden
WINGS" With such company the pro-
gramme OF dancing Is mere tribe. Every
step and every. movement Is a weighty con-
tribution to the general enjoyment The
whole scene Is enlivening. One OF the most plea
SAINT features Of the affair was the quiet which pre-
vailed In the Intervals no boister0us laugh or loud
conversion ever striking the ear Such genial inter-
course Is the fullest realization OF that enjoyment
which youth OF both sexes long to partake OF, and
cleaves to the memory In after life without the
mnutest alloy OF regret. This sweet communion OF
kindred spirits closes the eyes for brief space to
the dull realities OF life, and seems to proong the
day when the closing decade OF existence drags It's
slow length along IN expectation OF that final hour
that ends all our pleasures and cares In this world
