plished amateurs have made up a bill
suitable for the occasion. II ever there
was a call for beauty, grace and fashion to
display themselves, in the full force of
their radiant charms, this is the occasion.
Displayed in such q cause, and decked for
such a scene, beauty will assume a love-
lier hue, grace bs clothed in a rarer shape,
and fashion put On a more charming as

shrine of heroism, will redeem earth

On the other hand, not to heed a sum-

peal-is to proclaim that the children of
prosperity and the fayorltes OF fortune
have hearts Of stone aud sympathies of

Gus blood should ever dow, no sword
should ever flash, to shield their treas
ures, and no heart of lonely widow or un-
protected orphan again should ache in the
cause of a people so recreant TO honor, so
lost to shame, so forgetful of fallen gal
lantry.
From the manner in which our citi-
zens have hitherto responded to these
calls upon their liberality, we are sure
there is not the slightest danger that this
heavy reproach will fall upon them.
