SoDALITY BAsB BALL.-When a mum.
Der Of young men in this city undertake
to get up anything, they do it in style.
The ball of the Sodaliiy Band at Cochran
Hall last night was brilliant affair.
The ladies' present we're very handsome;
each
"Apparel'd like the spring,
Graces her subjects, and her thoughts the king
OF every virtue that gives renown to men;
Her face the book of praises. where was read
Nothing but pretty pleasures. as from thence
Sorrow were ever ras'd, and testy wrath
Could never be her mild companion"
The members of the Band appeared for
the first time in their new uniform
black cloth pants, with a gold cord down
the outer seam, and black sacqae coats
of the same material, with single row
of ornamental brass buttons in front
We congratulate our young friends on
the success of their first social party, and
hope they may enjoy many similar
scenes of innocent pleasure and pastime.
