Thc BeUc of the Ball.
Beautiful, beautiful,
Look at her now.
How queenly ber footstep!
How peerless her brow!
Oh, never a bein?.
In palace or hail,
Can equal her beauty
The bche of thc ball.
See! now she is dancing,
She glides to and fro,
With a wild witching motion,
Then dreamy and slow.
More light than a snow-flake
Her footstep doth fall,
How perfectlv gracefid,
The belle of the bah.
Her white arms arc wreathing,
Her eye flashes bright,
A thousand gems sparkle,
And scintillate light.
Coquettishly drooping
Inc snowy lids fall,
And veil the soft glance of
Thc belle of the ball.
Exquisitely lovely!
The blush and thc smile,
Which steal o'er the cheek,
' That is dimpling the while.
Then her musical voice,
Which is sweeter than all
She's a sad mischief maker,
The bebe of the ball.
But now she is weary
She tires of thc dance
Her liquid eye seeketh
An answering glance.
Then, close bv her side,
As they glide from the hall
lie holds the soft hand of
The belle of thc ball.
Beautiful, beautifi?,
Look at her now!
A bridal robe 'round her,
And wreath on her brow.
Tho one at her side when
She went from the hal',
Has won thc proud heart of
,The belle of the ball.

THOSE WHO DANCE MUST PAY THE
PIPER.-On Saturday last, Messrs.
F. ~W. Bennett & Co., auctioneers,
sold the celebrated old violin which
itt one time belonged to the late
?)r. Thomas Edmondson, afterwards
used by Professor Allen, and for the
last three years in the possession of
the late Glosac Picciolli, a promi?
nent professor of music of this city,
by whom it was greatly prized. This
celebrated Cremona is well known
Ly musical gentlemen throughout the
country, and the fact that it was to
be sold under the hammer caused
quite a large attendance of the musical
fraternity of Boston, New York and
Philadelphia. The first bid was $100,
then $200-, then successively $250 and
$300. A gentleman who seemed
determined to possess it bid $500,
while it was ascertained that there
'were present at least twenty five
gentlemen eager to take it at that
price ; then $600 was offered, followed
by $700, some fifteen persons claim?
ing the bid. Finally, after several
more advances, it was knocked down
to George T. Coulter, Esq., of this
city, for $960. This is certainly a big
price for a little fiddle, and the
auctioneer must have drawn a long
bow, and the .^purchaser a long
purse. At all events, those who dance
after thc music of Coulter's Cremona
ought to be willing to pay the fiddler.
[Baltimore Su?..
A FAMILY WEDDING COAT.-The
Stanton Spectator, in the following,
gives an account of a coat that has
proved a veritable heir-loom:
"Many years since, an old German
citizen of Pendleton County, when
about to lead Iiis fair 'frow' to the
hymeneal altar, purchased a broad- !
cloth coat in which he was married, j
His wile presented him with many i
children, among whom were eight I
sons, every one of whom were i
married in the same coat in which i
their father married their mother.
The youngest of thc sons hud seven !
sous, every one of whom were married '
in the same wedding coat, and after !
the youngest son of the seven, or the
youngest grand-son of tho original ?
owner of the coat had led his blush?
ing bride to the altar in his venerable
grand-father's fashionable wedding j
coat, lie sold it for the sum of ten j
dollars. What has become of the
coat since it was sold we have not j
Leen advised, but suppose that some
one is keeping it for thc purpose of
getting married in it."
A DUCK OK A DOCTOK.-Little Ibm- \
my- I vtor, mother says you're such !
a du. k ol* a doctor.
Doctor (delighted)-And, my little !
mun, what does your papa say? .
Little Tommi/--He said it was so, I
because, he said, you were :i quack!
