On Christmas night, in the year of grace *" 1840, the Globe ball room, in the good oily of New Orleaus, ptesented an appear- ^ anoeof unusual gavety and grandeur. The illumination was splendid, and the band, ,* the very best that money could procure, w fillet! the ear with rich strains of the mei? riest music. Indeed, everything had been w arranged to please the senses and excite the imagination. The walls were wreathed all <p over with the radiant evergreens of the ^ south, intermingled with sparkling bou- bi quels which rivalled the tints of the iris, and would have rendered the air fragrant g( as a field of flowers, but for the prevalence u of other and still more powerful odors? a| music, cologne, and the stimulating scent of j raw de via. ^ In the gorgeous light or the great saloon, ? beneath half a-dozen brilliant chandeliers of burnished silver, scores of smiling {dancers C( whirled away in tho tval.ton evolutions or u| the waltz; and when one set became ex- , hnusled, another immediately assumed their v' place, so that the floor was never vacant, These ceaseless revellers were chiefly dross y ed in tho most gaudy fashiou, glittering sj with gold nnd starry jewels, but wearing ^ the costuuies*of ditfercnt and evon distant centuries, and personating various cliarac- t| ters, accordiug to tho fancy of each inJi ., vidual. In 6ne, it was that perillous amuse- H urent?the abhorrence of wealthy fathers, who have wayward sons to visit tho seduo- a) live capital of the Crescent, nnd tho terror of all pious mothers, and not a few aflfectionate wives?tho free masquerade, which ? any one mi^ht enter by paying tho iuitia- V( lory fee of hve dollars. However, not^moro than a moiety of tho Q| ardent partakers in the pustimo wore vi- j,, sors. The most handsome young men, nnd nearly all the beautiful women, pr<.ferred to dazzle the eye with the charms of j living nature, rather than to attract obser- ni vation by affecting mystery and concealment. The exceptions were composed of fi those whose fair fame would have suffered irreparable disgrace by the publicity of ihoir ni contact with such a vulgar crew. All around the \/hI1s extended long benches for the accommodation of the nu- a merous spectators, embracing swatmsj of vj strangers, and many emiucnt citizens of New Orleans, who frequently attend such ^ occasions to witness tho mummery and wild fiolic, more real and life-liko than any b, theatrical representations. Indeed, it is je not considered, in the# slightest degree, ignotniuous for gentlemen of the highest class to patronize these assemblies, although n, it is needless to rem irk that no female of pure reputation ever gazes ou such scene, j save uuder tlio protective disguise o." a |c mask. 01 But llio music and dancing do nol form, m by any means, llio most j>otcnt or dangerous allurement whi.h draws sucli inulti- ,j| tudes to these demoralizing places of resort. jn Doors open from the principal ball into Sl other apartments devoted to drinking and ,r\ gaming, where unknown thousands of c| thoughtless victims havo been plunged into c; irretrievable and utter ruin. in Almost a stranger in tho metropolis, 1 tli was standing apart in one corner of the 0| grand saloon, surveying tin brilliant m groups of the singular panorama that in as cessnntly shifted before my view?although ni 1 must confess that my mind was far more a occupied with the involuntary suggestions p| of tlio sight, than by the present sensations g, of the scene itself. In dim and dreamy to every, my imagination wandered hack pi through llio nebulous mist of three hundred d< years, to the days of the bewitched but wicked Catharine de Medici, rnd those of (u tho bloody-crowned beast, Ilenry VIII., h< when the mask of the mummer glittered hi as a pageant of royal halls, as inseparable tli an nppeudago as the jewelled diadem, and ! h< lords and ladies, the proudest in all the to land, delighted to do it lienor. su Then I thouglit of the clamorous carni- 6t val at Venice, and fianicd inuumeiablo pic m tures of its wild mirth and madness, until u; tho flashing' lights faded from my eye nl- Sy together, and fancy, bathed in tho moon i lv light of that old siren city of the sea, lis- ' hi tened to the songs of the gondoliers, and ih the far-ringing laughter of youth and mail- | den, of baron nfid buffoon. ' /n Ag tin the mental vision changed, and ai swept over centuries of more distant times; vi and I walked through tho enchanted streets T\ of imperial Home at the noon of its mar- fe vellous glory, and heard the voices of nuui- s)t borless nations hailing tho democratic feast |0 of the golden ago, and shouting in tones w of thunder, "/o Saturiuilia/" when mas- in tcrs and servants instantly bccaino peers. fu and perfect equality reigned from the m banks of the Tiber to the ends of the earth, iii What a miracle of more than magic is this inexplicable power of association, that JJ unites the three worlds, the present, the fu- <..t ture, and the past, and by the mystic lliroad nl of concionsness, binds all ideas into ouo e\ world of thought, performing in tho soul Se what tho miirhtv law of attraction does in .... O V vv llie external universe, and causing all, even m the most fragmentary images of tho intellect, to revolve around the common centre tj of personal identity, llovv much moic ra]>- ] id than the lightning along its electric wire ty is tlio flight of imagination, from link to pa link over this viewless chain, defying aliko aj * all the obstructions of both time and apace, to transporting us, in the twinkling of an eye, j tal and without an intervrJ, through millions of gt ages, or beyond tbe conflnosof aun and star wi into the immeasurable ocean of intiiillo being. w, I was suddenly aroused from thisstatoof <>ii transcendental abstraction by a loud mur- 1 ?e mur of admiration that circulated round | the room. "There sho is! the beautiful <*a Mena! tho belle of New Orleans! She yC comes very late," observed one. "Shenev- |v er shows her face but to a full crowd of worshippers," said another. 4,I wonder how j)( many duels her coquetry will cauao to- .,c night?" added a third. "She has been tho se death ol a dozen men already!" nflirincd a : t? fourtii. -w| Following tho direction of tho general or gaze, I could not avoid starling at the vision which met my glance; for never, either before or since, have I witnessed such ex- C(] traordinary sensual beauty. Sho was standing ber.ontli the brilliant blaze of tho een- ai tral chandelier, bowing and waving lier C(J jewelled hand to a largo circle of acquaintances that rushed to greet her with n 1 |u warmth resemblirg phren/ied feelings of p, adoration. Sho was tall and slender as some queen of tho antediluvcan world, with a rich, rosy complexion, fair as a field of pr snow, and eyes black as night, large, bo- j (0 vrildering, and brimming over, as with i streams of liquid fire. Her robes were entirely of stainless while inuslin of tho finest [lt fabric, and she wore no ornament save the ! |)( iamoud riogs on ker fingers, and a goraous wreath of radiantflowers iu her glosr dark hnir. Uul the imprsMiou which these sliking liysical charms produced in my own uiind as momentary as the first Hash of Iter mrkling face. Too much boldness for todesty had been stsmwd on that etherise faultless visage, and the lightning that 3iimod in those dark eyes looked wild and icked, like the reflection of a heart con* lining with the flames of uulioly passions, hus, en the bright surface of her match* as beauty, nature's band bad written the deinu word "beware!" But the gay crowd of glittercrs, tbe fond re flies of fashion, heedless of tho warn* igs, fluttered, with buzzing flatteries loutul her, contending for the favor of her cceitful smiles, while menacing glances, ostures, and ovju terms, wero exchanged mong the amorous rivals. Suddenly, however, all this competition !Hsed, as an extremely handsome youth utered the saloon, and, hurrying forwards, (claimed?"Come, my enchanting Menu, on have promised to Le my partner dung the ball; and, by tho starry zone of enus, f have sworn to have no other. We tall soou sco if any one elso will dure disuto iny claim." Tbe crest-fallen fops retreated, as from 10 approach of a Lybian lion; and the Tallinn daiuscl welcomed the intruder with countenance of beaming joy. Tho whispered conversation around me forded a suflicieut key to the curious mya>ry which had struck me with so much asmishinent; both in tho overbearing dcleanor of the young man, and in tho era* L*n acquiescence of tho yielding suitors. "Look how Jack Allen makes them shv IT!" said the captain of a St. Louis steam* oat, grinning his approbation. "It is no wondor," suggested an attorey of the citty; "no peaceable person will ispute lor ilie prize with that matchless iaster of the sword as well as pistol." "Who makes it a point of practice to !?hl two duels a year," added a pale cjerk. "Ah! that class of ladies love the money loro than the man," remarked a French 'til maitre, with philosophical coolness. "Yes, certainly; and Jack Allen is worth million," observed a cotton broker, cnously. "Can it be possiblo that tlio fellow will i) fool enough to marry such a creature?" "IIo is already engaged to the most sautiful and accomplished girl in >Tew (trans, Miss Genevieve Garnet," answered 10 broker. "Ay, and sho would never speak to him jnin if she only knew how ho spends his .enings," nflirmcd the lawyer. The interlocutors then moved off, and ft 1110 to the solitude of my own thoughts, rather reveries?for always, wheu alone, iy imagination usurps the oflieo of the ( :nses, and begins the work of embodying ream pictures?very much, surely, to my dividual satisfaction, as I commonly nsimo the position of central figuro in the roup. It is truo my eye followed meranically the handsome youth and his winning partner through all the wind- : gs of the graceful waltz; but still I saw icm not, heard not even tho loud braying ; f tiro brass band, for my soul went with iy heart, and that was far away, in time i well as space?away over the blue sea. ud the darker ocean of distant ages, with form of peeiless beauty by my side. In ain terms, I was walking in a moonlight nr. In II.. ?. t.i ? viu >mv .muni u> iiuviciiv .viueus, a I mutely making love to tlio blushing As . rsia, amt daring I\ ricles to a duel with j jublo-barrcllcd guns, in both of wbicli fty feats, by a miracle, I proved successI; for his enchanting mistress turned up i )r tine Grecian nose at the orator, as ho | insclf showed tho white feather to me in >e combat with shot guns! At length, iwever, tho sublime cloud-castle caine ntbling down about my ears, as a solitary inbeam of puro reason penetrated the ruclurc, and I remembered two fund/rental, and as Emerson would say, eterd facts, first, that I did not understand a liable of the Attic language; and second - . , that the u?e of firearms was altogether iknown to the ignorant barbarians of at remote epoch. On coming back from my starry excur>n to the iron angled present, Jack Allen id his bewitching partner were once more sible; but a third liguio inoro especially reted on my attention. This was a male, dressed in the black costume and bio veil of a nun, who continually fulwed die couple previously mentioned? herever they moved, apparently watchg all their gestures with the most pain-, I intero t. It is utterly impossible for tj ciuicr 10 uescrme or explain the tluilig emotions which I fell at the instant lien I perceived this singular i)ico</nita. er form, indeed, was -light, lovely, and lieieal as that of a sylph, who had floated : 1 its life in the sunbeams of summer; and cry gliding step, every airy motion pes- ! ssed a name'ess, ineffable grace, which exiled all the evolutions of the most fasciding glances. While I remained spellbound, vainly ideavoring to pie:co the daik \ isor that was certain concealed such celestial bean, the youth, Jack Allen, and bis Mena, issed by inc, and entered tlic room set >art for rofresbments. The nun essayed follow them, but tlio door keeper object- j I, urging ?"No one, neither lady nor ntkman, is allowed to nomo in hen; j iihout a partner." Tlio incognita uttered a slight cry. half ay between a sob and a groan; and glanug around tho hall, her attention, at last, | emtd Hxcd on my face. Presently, she j iproached, with tremulous agitation, and itl, in a whisper?"Will you render a fa a to a friendless girl, w ho has been deep- ' wronged by a villain!" I lor breath w as sweet as somo exquisite ultimo, and the murmur of her voice cmcd more than mortal music; so I asnlcd at once, and we penetrated the salient devoted to oysters and champagne, here wo seated ourselves at a small tahle, 1 dy divided from that of Jack Allen and etia by a thin partition of colored paper. "What shall I order?" I gallantly inqnirI of my nun. "Nothing for me," she said, in a scarcely idilde whisper. "I wish to overhear the nversation at tho next table." Just then the discourse to which she aided touched on a subject that appeared , shock her liko a thunder holt, as she t inted in every nerve. "And so you are going to marry tho oud Miss Garnet?" remarked Mcnn, in n?s of anger. "Yes, for tho sake of her plantation and >groes," repliod Allen; "but I do not love j ir, and you shall always be the idol of my ;art and home." ' * Instantly the nun grasped my arm with convulsive energy nud drew me with her out of the ruoiu. As soon as wo gained the hall, she asked, iu her heavenly whisper, "Will you dance with me through one waltzP As a matter of course I accepted tho invitation, and very soon plaudits shook the hoUsu like a whirlwind at the in.iuiiable grace of her movements. Suddenly the rude accents of Jack Allen roared out, "Why, Miss Garnet, how is tlmP At the same instant a moro terrible tono exclaimed, "Sister Genevieve, in the name of God, how happened you here?" She flew to her brother, whispered the story of her wrongs, and satisfied him as to the puiily of her motives. The next day ho challenged the false lover, and shot him through the heart. A year afterwards tho beautiful Genevieve Gurnet bccamo my I bride, and I ceased to woo even Aspasia in imagination. Such was tho courtship of a celebrated Judge of New Orleans, as ho loves to relate it with his own lips. , An Innocent Flirtation.?Why not as | well say an innocent theft, or a harmless ! murder? It is not everybody who under! stands what tho words mean. Sotno very silly young girls, just out of boarding school, consider it a sort o( compliment to be called flirts. They blush and simper, and pretend to have just as many beaux as thev can find fresh !<?<?!? t?> nimln ilium j ? ,WI little aware what desperate habits aro funning their charmed circles around them, beyond which in a few years it will bo out of their power to move. One can bear to be cheated by a cloth merchant or a grocer, although tho transaction merits unlimited contempt; but to bo deceived by tho lips and tho eyes, the smiles and the speech of ( young hearts that Clod designed should l?o I free from intentional guilt, if any of His i creation, makes wounds that even time cannot heal. Heaven knows how many heart-hardened nion walk tho earth,soured and unhappy, finding falsehood everywhere?looking crookedly upon all creations of harmony, and seeing distortion in everything, because their natures have been ? warped by some cruel deception. Like | tho melted iron, glowing ami rich, they might have been shaped to forms of endurt ing beauty?but tho heavy hammer of deceit came down, flattened and twisted, ami left them cold, black, shapeless masses. The victim of a flirt, in proportion to 1 his singleness of nature, his wholesome ami implicit faith in his kind, his generous, unwarped sense of justice, and the \ breadth and depth of his love, oftentimes i becomes the more morose, unyielding, ?oj man-hating man. And inanv such do mar, ry from prudential motives, after tho fatal i change, and lead their partners most tini happy lives. llut young school girls?finished, ac| coiuplishcd women, are not tho only llirts. Shame that we must say it, and to their absolute and eternal disgrace be it spoken, some married women are llirts. Not even the sacreduess of tiio vows which their husbands confide in them, nor tho opinion of the world, will deter them from this most satanic love of vanity ami misrule. Not even the babes whoso dove's eyes re bake them at every glance, and whose in nocctico is n continual prayer fot their unworthy mothers, can wake them to a realization of the exceedingly steep precipice norm ulirtift l.rli.L- .

That they aro suicides, strangling the spiritual within them. That they aro thieves stealing trust and confidonee from tho hearts that shelter thorn with honest love. They aro counterfeits, passing for genuine the smiles they lavish upon their husbands. That they aro liars bartering their truth and their honesty for a villain's favor?that they comhiuo in shcrt a variety of every sin and every rank defilement under heaven. Such women sometimes excuse themselves, by saving that their husbands are not true to them in thought, word nnd deed, and therefore their own derelictions. What! shall the eagle, if mated with the vulture, stoop to prey on garbage? [ readies. Enterprise. A X K.IIT OF IIORROU IN A Wll.IIKRN !>9. ?Tho I'oughkeepsie Kagle gives an ao count ot a inglii 8 aui'cnturc ot .Mr. Annie Clark in a wilderness in 1'otter county, 1'a.. during the past w inter. It appears lie lost his way, travelled lor hours, when, as night set in, ho found himself eight miles from any settlement, surrounded by bears and wolvc*. One of the former ho shot dead in the dark as the animal was about to spring upon him. His next effort was to kindle a fire. He collected some dry materials, and loading his gnu with powder tired the charge into a dry cotton handkerchief. It was a failure! As the gun was discharged another bear, apparently within twenty feet of him, gave a hideous and awful roar that made Clark's hair stand 011 end. Bruin was terribly frightened bv the discharge of the gun, and hastily scampered, inuch to tho relief of Clark, who now began to fully realize tlio danger of hi* position. Here ho remained, not daring to f.dl asleep. About two o'clock in the morning, to add to 11 to ,"s'? of hi* situation, the yell of a panther was heard. The beast approached?catno nearer every few minutes? uttered a screech that froze tho in his veins. As a last resort, to defend himself from tho attack of the savage animal, he reloaded his gun, putting some three cent pieces and some steel pens in (for he bad nothing else,) which he Imped might do some execution. Tho nui inal caino so near that the glaro of his eyes resembled two balls of tire! Clark every moment expected tJ rcceivo the fatal ^prin There he remained without daring to move, with the fiery eyes of the panther fixed upon him. In this dreadful situation, expecting evoiy moment to be torn in pieces, ho remained till break of <1 y, when he was relieved from danger and the animal disappeared. Hungry and weary and excited, ho left for tlio settlement, where ho arrivod about noon and related bis thiilling adventure. A party proceeded to tlio pines where the hear was shot, and brought in his carcass, which proved to bo a very largo one. It was dressed and forwarded to New York.
