he Lenten season is raply drawing TO
u ond, and the time,when the close.reined
~ on pleasure will be relaxed is about
q hand, In addition to this the loneliness
ofthe spring in the southland stands ready
~ hover its blessings, floral and climatic,
Nupon us, aud even though the past week
has been barren Of incident, and the social
Sea in state of comparative calm, the an
ticipations of the future are more than a
recompense for the past the CHEEKY winter
hreside is now thing Of the past,
and rambles amid groves Just bud
ding into exuberance Of the com
ing summer foliage; jaunts by the
side OF the purling brook, So dreamily
threading its way through the rich low
lands; the first faint, but none the less
Intoxicating breath of the earlier flowers,
the silvery sheen of the sunshine, clothing
each and every object, no matter how com
mon-place or of the earth earthly, with "A
radiance OF its own-all these and far more
quicken the pulse OF pleasure into an en-
1oyRble glow, and afford an ample field for
Not that We would have the reader believe
that our city had subsidized into q state Of
puritanical calm during the pelitential pc
Yiod. lis true the notes Of Joy have not
been pitched on as high key; nevertheless
the Incidents of the past week deserve men
ton In proportion TO the uualoyed enjoy
ment they afforded,
First in order is the charming rendition
OF the S9ngeriest mixed chorus, under the
direction of Professor Frees. A hard man
Is the director, and unsparing of
any dreliction of harmony, but all feel
after one of his arduous exercises in the art
divine that it was good to have been there.
Seriously, the chorus is Il most excellent
one, Composed as it is OF the flower OF Dal-
las songsters, and unless the laws Of hospi-
tally intervene, we are destined to carry
off the palm in the coming feast of min
strelsy.
The reception rendered by Colonel
James b. Simpson, to Miss Rosser,
+ In all details, especially in its informal ma
ture, being as it We're rally of friends
around beloved companion, the ties of
friendship having been knit all the closer
by absence, was q delightful oasis in the
wilderness of abstinence that has charac-
terized the week. The delicate attentions
Of the hostess and the general good time
had, behold are they not chronicled in the
files of the HERALD OF a late date2
The Ladies Musical society was delight
fully entertained last Saturday night by
Mr., and Mrs Howard. in the spacious par
Tors of the Windsor, where the best pro
gramme OF the season was rendered. For
tunately, all who were expected TO take
active part i'll the entertainment, were
present The vocalists were in splendid
voice and the selections admirably chosen,
in fact, everything that was necessary to
make this affair thoroughly enjoyable was

elegant supper served, after the last sweet
strains of music had died away, seemingly,
but only to live in memory, pronounced it
q success. The two Rotations were ex-
quisitely done, and highly appreciated, AS
this was the first time we have heard
Miss Dickson we cannot but say we We're
surprised; her reputation led us to expect
much, but we did not anticipate such fin
ished piece OF acting and such grand dis
play OF evolutionary power as she gave us.
Her French accent is splendid, and Cath
crime herself could not have received King
Henry's proposal with more queenly grace
and becoming dignity than her fair imper-
senator portrayed. After returning from
the supper-room, dancing was the form of
dissipation INDUCED, and continued until
the near approach of Sunday. Among
