ON THE^ DEATH OF MRS. JACKSON.
She is gone! and the Seraphs of endless life,
Have sung her welcome to the shore
Where tears arc dried, and care, and strife,
And sorrow’s pangs, are known no more!
She has pass’d to the realms where her gentle heart
Shall rest hi peace, and free frnm’paiit—
Far frmn the reach of the venom’d dart,
By wretched malice thrown in vain.
She lived but the victor shout to hear,
O’er Ihnd and sea go boldly forth!
She died—in all she held so pear—
Unsullied name—unspotted worth!

THE GRAND FANCY BALL.
Fur, some time past tlio ranks of fashionable
society have bedn thinned astonishingly by tlio
ravages of ennui. Several sections Imye bean
completely cut ofi*. Death stalked abrond in
one of the old cocked bats of tho Inst century..
Thn rascally undertakers were Rotting rich—
the pretty milliners wore compelled to grow e-
conomical—and the ready made coffin makers
were actually in treaty for bank stock. Tho
Italian Opera was,gone—-dip Garcia had de
parted—and nothing remained, but a few pas.

very vertebra of gentility by tho mouths of tlio
vulgar. The Vestris had piroutted away eve
ry rag of.novelty thatfonce invested her Phi-
dian limbs. The ihcntres were confirmed a
bore. Soyeral back clouds or 4'scontent hung
round thp edges of good society. : Assemblies
were the same dull thing all ihe season round.
The exquisites *of Broadway sighed, snu (fed,
sneezed, aiid swore by turns. The female
dashers read the cirtulating libraries through,
midi like tlio Macedonian Hero, sighed for
more imaginary worlds to devour. .The bon
ton was absolutely' coming to an end; when,
in a moment of inspiration, nnd standing on the
ruins of an’empty six dozen of Canipoipne, one
great genius of society, namely the Pink, arose
and said, “Let us hnvo u Fancy Ball.”
Tlio* highest fashions of Europe had hot been
introduced among os. • Our eoteries]yero mak
ing long and rapid strides in fashionable inde
pendence. We patronised theatres equal to
London PmU 5 many of us expend a couple
of thousands on a party, ortd made ; the banks
and pastry cooks sweat for it afterwards. U'c
\vqro a gay, dissipated, reckless sort of people;
but we had no “fancy.-balls,” Tho imputation
was insuCurnhle, Wo were becoming con
temptible in the eyes of tho fashionable raggn^
muffins of Europe. It was' reiolved at once to 1
lake such n Step as became tnen who could put
their, fingers upon seveti gctierations backwards,
without thrusting them iplo a dish, of washer*
woman’s impudent soap suds, dr running’thorn
against a t ay tor's needle, or a lhoyiunkerV h;-t.

ngt our own absurdities! Arc republicans, for
ever to be outstripped by,'th.' worn out r:
Europe 1 Never. Is the pore blood i
new.world not to mount as high ip ill*- cj
old. From tbe Bowling Grften, inYUaiious uif
perfumed cards were sent out to the very geo-’
graphical extremities, of the gay .world. Tin*
intelligence ran like wildfire from the Battery*
to the Park, and from Si. John's to Harm i d
street. Tho theatres were ransacked; die nt'd<
linors, male and femjile, worked, night and.day ;
n deep commotion shook the whole beau mantle;
a thousand pretty bosoms beat with rapture so
dcop. that (he Canfelo corset itself could scarctv.

shook themselves into exiitenpe. The fair d'.
