THE LAST ASSEMBLY BALL.
1t Is Given Amid Very Elaborate and Artistic
observation-disclosures of Those Present.

Shrove Tuesday celebrated in this city by
the third and last Assembly ball for this season
last night. The New Denison Iouse was brill
iantly lighted, and the spacious halls made
delightful promenade for the dancers. The
large dining-room used as ballroom was
deliberately decorated with innumerable ropes
of ground-pine, festooned from sides to ceiling,
in three centers, instead OF in center, at q
former ball The chandeliers were wound with
pine and smilax, ana suspended from each
alternate, was large heart of scarlet carna-
tions, pierced with golden arrow, in harmony
with the idea of the season, that of
St Valentine From each intermediate chaude-
lier hung huge ball of white carnations. The
nine mirrors were embellished with lambr
quins of smilax, draped with bows of scarlet or
white satin ribbon, and the windows were
and upheld by iattice-work of smilax. Under
each window and just meeting the curtains.
were banks Of potted flowers and plants. The
scarlet of poineettia and pinks contrasting richly
with the white of primrose and Gala, and
the green of fern and vine. On the
sides and ends of the room were
twelve large wall-baskets of cut-fowers of
cry variety of blossom now in season. and their
beauty and fragrance added much to the exquis-
tions gave the room more the appearance of
large parlor in private house than hotel din
ing room. and the guests felt more at ease from
the first.
The Costumes of the ladies were very hand
some and elaborate, and most toilets were en-,
bellished with corsage Or hand bouquets.

vealed a new and unexpected danger.
Standing at the mouth of the lane,
and looking straight in upon me, was
a tiger. That he had entered the vii
lage in search of prey / knew by his
demeanor. That he was an old tiger
and a man-eater one could see by his
lordly air. Instead of coming in from
the jungle, he had come across the
open and cultivated land, and my hut
was first in his path. | did not believe
he would enter the hut. The lane
would look like a trap 10 him. and he
would fight shy. After looking at me
for perhaps two minutes, the tiger
moved out of sight, and presently |
heard him stealing around the hut 10
look for an opening. There was no
other. and he returned and surveyed
me again. While M eyes were wide
open, did not move finger, and the
animal, no doubt, believed me asleep.
He probably saw the blankets on the
ground. but don't think he suspect
ed the presence of the serpent.
When the tiger finally entered the
opening and began TO approach me |
gave myself up for lost. With this
feeling came that of GOODNESS, and |
was never more clearh headed in my
life. For moment forgot the snake,
but presently, "a the tiger was within

serpent utter a low hiss and move
about. The tiger had eyes and ears
only for me. He skulked over the

When he reached the doorway and
stood with his fore-paws on the thres-

would find me helpless.

seconds. Ny sight went away from

THE SONG OF THE SEA WINDS.

How 1t sings, sings, sings,
Blowing sharply from the sea line,
With an edge OF salt that stings;
How II laughs aloud and passes,
AS il cuts the close cliff grasses;
How it sings again and whistles
AS il shakes the stout sea thistles-
How 1t sings!
How il shrieks, shrieks, shrieks,
In the crannies of the headland,
In the gashes Of the creeks;
How il shrieks once more and catches
Up the yellow foam in patches;
How il whirls it out and over
To the cornfield and the clover
How it shrieks!
How IL roars, roars, roars,
In the iron under-cayerns.
In the hollows OF the shore;
How it roars anew and thunders,
AS the strong hull splits and sunders;
And the spent ship, tempest driven.
On the reef lies rent and riven-
How IL roars
How II walls, walls, walls,
In the tangle of the wreckage,
In the Tapping OF the sails;
How II sobs away, subsding,
Like tired child, after Gliding;
And across thu ground swell rolling
You can hear the bell-buoy tolling-
How it walls
