The Firemen's Ball.
[Unavoidably omitted yesterday. ]
+" Loud roared the dreadful thunder.
The rain a deluge showered;
The clouds were rent asunder
nv liOhtninp's vivid poWer"

The rain delugs showered;
The clouds were rent asunder
By lightning's vivid power"
But "on with the dance" thought our
gallant fremen, as peal upon peal re-
sponded to the strains of merry music,
meeting 10 it's gush the lightning's flash
that illumined the hall of that right royal
company-Three son last evening 1t
was rare ball. Beautiful women and
true men did homage to Terpsichore /;
and never did votaries prove more loyal
service. Two O'clock" on with the
dance" three o'clock" let joy be un-
confined :" four O'clock" we won't 60
home till morning, till daylight doth ap-
pearl" But bark. beIll-an alarm /
fire l-Grel "Now for it, boys" and in
they go-thunder above them, lightning
around them, a deluge ahead of them !
Crash bang and away she rolls |
Noble boys But hsrdihood and endur-
apce have conquered the Fire King, and
he of the storm is hushed. " Has he
come 7" says a sweet.pleading girl to a
dripping fireman, who looks in upon the
brilliant scene. "Who7" says the mis-
chievous Jack. "Pshaw, you know
Who" swell, be has" I'm so glad, "snd
little hands are instinctively clssped, the
eyes look brighter, and the 6remsn's
bride is hsppy--and what woman should
not be, to be loved BY bold, brave,
self sacrificing fireman.
Memphis can we'll boast of her Dolsns,
Signaigos, Clearys, Dennigers and many
of as gallant, unselfish men as ever held
a spsnuer or blew bugle. Says we to
the generous Captain Cleary; We had
a splendid supper, Captain 2" "Yes,
but Colonel, you didn't eat much, none of
you. There is forty-6ve pounds of cake
left. and we will send it to the little
orphans, poor little unfortunates-the
must share our pleasures" And so it is
and ever was-the bravest are the
kindest, the truest men the most un5el6sh
and generous.
The ball of No. 3's was one of the most
brilliant that has ever been given in our
city. The attendance embraced many of
our best citisens and their families; per-
feet order existed and the music was
superb. We noticed many old firemen,
Jack Waters and others, who seem to
linger round their old love like the ivy.
And We cant blame them we we're once
of them and have ever loved them and
theirs. Give us q repeater, gentlemen,
and obtain a larger house, and depend
upon it we will Gil it with an enlarged
edition of the beauty and gallantry that
rraced the hall on last evening.

One of our fallen Southern chiefs is TO
have monument. II will, in hss than
year, lift high toward the clouds, whittier
he has gone, its marble crest. 1t will
stand on Virginia soil, and be the first of
it's character which affection and rever-
ence for heroic virtue has dared to erect
since that period to which we can but
revert 10 tones Of sadness. 1t will reflect
10 the sunlight Of history lie honors upon
those now living as we'll as the dead. II
will be creditable alike not only
to all the Southern States but 10
the civilization and Christian amenities
Of the age, for the North as we'll as the
South is giving freely to assist in the
pious work. New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia and other Northern cities have
already each contributed more than is
expected Of Tennessee. The little State
Of Delaware, with her three counties, will
give as much as is expected of our State.
The call for funds has everywhere been
responded to with unprecedented liberal
ity. The example of other cities has been
promptly answered by Memphis. We
