Here and there, perhaps, we see a care-worn, sad face, but the multitude pass on as sunny and smil ing as if there wss no trouble In Ihe world. Riitoould we lift the veil and look beneath this gay exterior, we should discover many a hidden grief, so many hearts are there that ache and make no sign, and that is not the bitterest sorrow tbat the world sees and know. Those griefs are the sorest and hardest to bear which must be kept concealed aud never spoken of. The Ball. The ball on Friday of last week was a most pleasant affair. Though many had loft during the day there were quite enough to fill the hall of the Weldon hotel. All of the resident young ladies and getitlemou were present and many others besides. The dancing was kept up until a late hour and every body enjoyed thninselves. The supper was all that could bo desired and It is only necossary to say that Col. Davis bad charge of It to prove that it was ulcgant. The assistant uiur- hals wore managers ai.d (lid much to make the time pleasant. The Newborn band furnished music for tho occasion aud just here we will say that we have never seen a set of men more willing to play than they. They wero always ready when over called upon and played liko it was a pleasure. Evorybody went away from the ball well pleased and looking forward t ) the next lair when they will again meet to enjoy the dance Mid courting as tbey did this lime. M ii.itaiiy Disn.AY.
