After Ute Bal". BT lu H. HOPPER. I tit beside my mid-night fire, The ball-room rosee ia my hair; Without, tho rain is falling fast. And Btrange storm voices fill the air. My foot are weary of the dance, \The revel whirls within my brain, And something deep within my breast, Throbs with a ceaseless pulse of pain. Ye?. I have plucked th? TW* fl?, fruit, And savored long ita rind of gold; Its ashy core now frets my lip, Its dust is falling from my hold. And though I struggle to forget, And though my heart be triply eteeled, It cannot banish from m v brain, A vision of a battle-field. A vision of that solemn hour When won and ended is tho fight, And when upon the awful scene, Look down tho tender eyes of night; While, pillowod on his prostrate horse, And pale beneath hi* raven hair, The old smile new upon hia lip, The man I lovo lies lifeless there. Ho loved mo as snob men can love, The ?rave, the noble, and the true; He wooed mo as a gallant heart And poet soul alono could woo; He tola in burning words his love; I listened with a startled smile; And spoke of friendship and regret, And yet I loved him all the while. lloved him-but I loved still more Gay balls, flirtations, stylish dress: To hold these fast I spurned away That true heart's wealth of tenderness! Ho loft me with a calm farewell, Too fond to frown, too proud to sigb; I danced and flirted aa of old And he wont forth to fight and die! And still I tread tho self-same round Of balls, and operas, and dress; But o'er my Ufo ie erooping slow A mist like pall of weariness. Tho gayest gallop fails to stir To bounding life my languid foot; Listloas I drop my rich hoquet, My senses sickened by its sweet. Cold Ue the embers on tho hearth; The dark without is growing gray, And I must woo reluctant sleep, Before the dawning of tho day. Baok, ghostly Past, into your tomb: Glose, eyes, upon th' unwelcome light - 1 am engaged for overy dance, At tho grand ball to-morrow night! WANT RD.-Among tho "vants" wo find tho following, which is suscepti? ble of unlimited variation ns differ? ent phases of fashionable folly may be suggested to the mind: WANTED-MEDICAL.-A few moro females of weak minds, to appear next season in some new absurdity at Saratoga. Tho medical faculty re? turn their thanks for the enormous inorease of business in neuralgic and catarrh complaints, brought about by the present style of bonnets, and as? sure those who are hesitating in the adoption of the Grecian bend, that hospitals for spine complaints and chest contractions shall at once be established. Mannfactnrers of high heeled boots will bring forward the heels from the middle of the boot to the toe, next season, and that portion of the faculty who give their attention to swellings of the joints are to go? vern themselves accordingly. Also a few more mothers wanted to dress young children in short dresses, bare legs, and linen drawers (one pair only) all winter, tit looks pretty to seo them thus, and encourages physicians engaged in that branch of practice known as children's diseases. Also mothers who will continuo to leave children with Irish nurses, to whom laudanum, gin and "soothing syrup," will be supplied at reduced prices. Warranted to put a child to sleep and render it a "patient" ono for years to come. A good many years ago, when Gen. Cass was a leader among Dem?crata, and consequently an object of dislike to tho Whigs, it was moved in the Legislature of a Western Stato to be? stow tho name of Casa on a new County. A Whig, meauing to be sarcastic, arose and moved, as an amendment, that the iirst letter of the proposed name bo struck out! The laugh was on his side largely, until the Democrat retorted that he might not have had any objection, but that it was very unusual for a member to rise and propose tba) a County in the State should be named after himsolf 1 And then the other aide had the laugh. Whatever you may do, leave in your apartments an outlet for coal gas. Coal gas and consumption are fraternally linked, and aro very af? fectionate.
