"There was a sound of revelry by night And the City Hall had gather'd then Its beauty and its chivalry, and bright .The gas shone o'er fair women and brave . .. men; - v '-. A hundred hearts beat happy y; and when Music arose with its voluptuous swell, Soft eyes look'd love to eyes which spoke a 1.11 i n And. alt went mejry s a marriage-bell." - The Maestro of our quaint old city, M Whose sports are fair, his joyancc inno- cent, ' Sweet without sour and honey without gall, And he himself being made for merriment, . Merrily masking, both in bower and hall," issued an imperial pronunciamento to the lovers of fun announcing a jolly-reunion on the 30th- instj- when in masked charac ters a terpsicnorean farewell greeting would be a warded to hoary '73, whose 'full armed Mioervan birth of twelve month syne was the occasion of intense enjoyment, and a frolicsome entertainment, at which masks and faces were performed witheciaJlhat de. manded, but failed to receive, an encore. Ob this occasion no Brown study was re quired to incite the necessary inspiration; it effervesced and bubbled up spontaneous ly, banishing gloomy Panic to the Hade's of the counting-room and frosty exchange. At 9 P. M. the City Hall is brilliantly illumi nated. Paganinis in the orchestra titivate the intestines of immolated pussy and mani fested characteristic impatience to indulge in dulcet -strains, ' "Whose golden touch could soften steel and stone; Make tigers tame and huge leviathans Forsake unsounded deeps, to dance on ; " sand."" . " Guests and masqueraders commenced to assemble. The different characters were handsomely announced by the courteous and admirably caparisoned i Maestro1. Sit John Falstaf to the life, was annourced, his rotund figure 'giving evidenee that his diet,' as a custom, was " but one half-penny worth of bread to an intolerable deal of sack!" FoUy, in perfect costume, followed in the heavy footsteps of Sir John'' and then came -, Cinderella TabXha Toddi nobody's rling and the peaceful prismatic Rainbow. trd, with his portentius key, that secured thVentrance to his bloody room, escorted a SwutMilk Maid and a pretty Haymaker as if atilfihtent on adding new victims to his sanguinaryappetite. With lancet in hand and a jug of hotwater at command Dr. Sangrado bustled into the hall" How are you,. Brown; announce me, my boy; you are busy and so ami; professional call, sir from old '73." . " Bad fur replied the polished Maestro, " un- der your treatment I guarantee fhe poor un- fortunate but twenty-four hours existence.' Sangrado applied- the fore-finger of his dexter to his professional nose and bus tled on. ' ' . I A jolly Jack Tar, neatly dressed for "gen eral muster, tripped in with hornpipe steps - W-fc 't conveying a cnarming reasam xs,wno glided graceful over the floor as if the "bar vest was ripe and the full moon inviting." The appearance of Night " Fair eldest child, of love, thou spotless NiglitI Empress of silencer and the queen of sleep; Who, with, thy. bright .cheek's pure com- plexion, '. . Makest lover's eyes enamored of thy ;, ; beauty"", '', ; . excited much admiration. The Flower Girl of the evening dispensed her mystic buds and blossoms with a graceful genenisity that wen admiration from all recipients of her favors. . ' ."Paddy jMcGuire " exclaimed the Maestro, and "Dandy Jim T "Get out of me path, y dusky . individual," exclaimed Paddy. " Tank you, sar, I'se Dandy Jim And am ebery inch" a gentleman." " Go and git biled and yell come out likfta lobster next door to a wbiteanan."

Yv A ITD 1T WILMINGTON, Our Country Gtnmn was capital; also Ilumpty Dumpty, who was decidedly Foxy. Sn.ider'a countenance caused much laughter, also the- King's Jester, Dan Bice, Oarth and . Wambai Capt. Dal Given carried his dignity with military preciseness and Don Lcemr de Baian was simply grand. Ilobin, -Ilood, well gotten up, mistook the Black Prince for the Sluggard JfaA, 'and made a good thing of it. . Old Pantaloon produced a sensation as well as laughter. By this time the hall had; become thronged with "fancy charac ters, Dominos and spectators. The scene, was peculiar, kaleidoscopic in beauty, in variety, richness and profusion. Well might the originator, of the present merry gathering congratulate himself, and kind friends' flatter the genius of the Grand Maestro, who falsifies the old adage, as he is a jack of all trades and good in each and every one. The music, though not conducted by a Strauss or Maretzek, nevertheless, for the times and latitude, possessed much elec tricity, which jt infdsed into the poetry of motion that animated the dancers. A select masquerade ball, like unto the present, js a harmless amusement of fancy and taste, re quiring intelligence, and when entered into with zest historical information. The dis pension of the mask ere the termination of the merry meeting acts as a check upon ob jectionable representations and character istics appertaining thereto. . Even the most fastidious recognize the Christmas holidays as a period for relaxa tion and the full enjoyment of rational hilarity.' It was only necessary to listen to the; jocund laughter and hearty commenda tions that emenated from the - grave and reverend Patriarchs who were amused spec tators, to. feel convinced that the Maestro had made a lucky hit, and deserved well of his country. In our. peregrinations through the festive (not banguU by the by) hall we were startled by the fierce appearance of Gasparoni, that terrible bandit of the Cam pania. Instinctively clutching out empty purse to preserve intact its hoarded treasure w gazed in tribulation upon this renowned Roman Robber. His conical hat, bedecked with trinkets and charms (for he was a terrible chap to fight and pray) covered massive curling locks of raven hair, which with bearded face and fierce black eyes caused one to anticipate the dread command of "your money or your life,'' But Gasparoni was on the love, .not war path. A beautiful lady from Madrid had brought him by the heels. A grand musical entertainment is an nounced and the maskers circle around the halt to receive the renowned band of Cap tain Johnnie Smoker. The appearance was unique the performance superb and as hearty as their well conditioned bodies could suggest. Midnight approaches 'The Maestro mar shals his company the clock strikes and artwelve he gives the order to unmask. There is a brief silence of astonishment, then peals of laughter and clapping of hands announced mutual recognition. Some sud denly slide from their partners, abashed with the knowledge of indulging in words of endearment to their ownsex.- Paddy McGuire throughout the evening had de veloped the usual milesian proclivities for love making, and was brought to task by numerous fair ones, when the unmasking occurred. Paddy however was not abashed, but impudently proposed that all interested should migrate to Constantinople where, as a Grand Turk "Be ijapers, I'll marry every mother's son of you." The dancing continued until the small hours of the morning approached; and thus ended a roost delightful Masquerade Ball, which, if the general desire is consulted,' will soon be repeated.
