J'Sil- wtgfte'L: -•►MS©*- The officers of 'he U. S. frigate Con stellation save a splendid ball on ihe eve ning of the 24th ulr. to the Ladies and Gentlemen of Pensacola, on board that frigate. A Florida Poet thus describes the scene. CONSTELLATION’S BALL, Beauty and gaiety were there And mirth and music loud resounded, And every breast seemed free from care, And every heart with pleasure bounded. The myrtle takes the laurel’s place— The stern command now yields to pleading. The glittering- arms their racks now grace-?- And love’s the only foe they’re heeding. Oh ! how unlike *the scenes i* is deck Has witnessed, when the tempest lowered. Or when the Insurgent lay a wreck, Beneath the broadsides which she showered. Emblem of our own fickle state— Now bending ’neath the gale’s rude roarings; ?et may we lie, no distant date, Ip pleasure’s harbor', at safe moorings. TV. --aCaa..-- HYMEN’s BALL. Hymen afforded a ball On the outside of his castle > Some count it Happiness Hall, Others account it a bastde. Be that as it may, in a trice Dancing we had and hilarity; Hearts that were bound up in ice Melted to amorous charity— Beauty looked smiling on Faith, Coyness grew into festivity, Pairs as they whirled out of breath, VT altzed themselves into captivity, -Crowds to the castle v iio more Single to pine am. to pout again) Flocked—and behn.t, them the door Was shut that lets nobody out again. Stunned as it slammed ou then’, some Looked ra.her sheepish,Tm vexed to say, Bur for one face that's glum, Twenty brighteu’d with extacy. Chorus.

Big in her ribs, wide in her pins, Full in her bosom, small in her shins, Long in her face, fine in her tail, Aud never deficient in filling her pail. A short Story told by Mr. Matthews. “ My friend and myself, when in Devonshire, were visiting an acquaintance who had a daughter not remarkable either for her wit, beauty or ac complishments. She had passed the grand cli macteric, and was certainly on the wane : but her heart had lost none of the susceptibility to la grand ■passion. She had for ten years been con spicuous for her dress,airs and “beau-catchers,” but alas ! she had '“toiled all night” at balls, routs and levees, but had caught no beau. Being as vain as she was simple, we thought her fair game for a quiz. Miss Lucretia Elvira, said 1, have you heard of the late act of parliament, by which all ladies with small mouths shall be allowed to marry two husbands ? No sir. said she, (screwing ■up her mouth into a pucker) what a curious law ! You are wrong, Edward, said my friend to me, those ladies with large mouths, are to be allowed two husbands “Laiome'. exclaimed she, (open ing her .mouth as bigas a bucket.) “What a curious law.'

One ofhis intimate friends, who highly admired those virtues which ho :bought impossible to imitate, one day asked the prelate it he could communicate the secret of being always easv ?—“ Yes,” replied the old man, “ I can teach you niv secret, and with great facility. - It consists in nothing more than making right use of my eyes.” His friend begged him to explain himself. ‘Most willingly,’ returned the bishop: ‘In whatever, state I am, I first of all, look up to Heaven, and remember that my principal business here is to get there; I then look down upon earth, and call to mind how small a place I shall occupy in ;f, when I come to he interred; I then look abroad in theworld, and observe what multitudes there are, who are in all respects more unhappy than myself.

A man who was accustomed to deal in the marvellous, told a country cousin of his, that he liad three great curiosities in his house ; an ox that could go 300 miles a day,a cock that told the hour ofthe night, and a dog that could read in a supetior manner. Says the cousin “these are ex traordinary things indeed ! I must call up on you, and beg a sight of them.” The liar returns home and tells his wife what had happened, saying he had got into a scrape, and did not know how to extricate himself. “Oh, never mind.” says she, “I can manage it.” The next day the coun tryman called and inquiring after his cou sin ; is told that he was that morning gone ofi'to Pekin. “ And what time is he ex pected back?” “In seven or eight days.” How can he return so quick 1” ‘He’sgone off on ourox ’ ‘Apropo, T O niter and amend the Second Section of the General Ordinance Sec. 1.

Of the efficacy of this preparation Dr- Price has had abundant and most satisfactory evidence, during a course of experiments made under his direction, whilst Surgeon of the Pennsylvania Hospital; and since his arrival in England, he has had the good fortune of witnessing many ad ditional instances Of its successful administration. The diseases in which this Medicine has been paiticularly useful, are those arising from con stitutional causes—as in the various forms of Scrofula, whether affecting the bones, joints, or soft parts ; and in cases, where a disposition to this disease is manifested by debility only, it operates as a preventive to the local disease by its beneficial gflects on the constitution. It is equally efficacious in mercurial, disease, and in the secondary forms of Sypilis, and has lately been gi*'en with marked success in chronic dis eases of the Liver, which had resisted the careful exhibition of mercury It has, likewise, very re cently been administered with decided advant age by one of the most distinguished Surgeons in London, in a case which had entirely destroved the right eye ofthe patient, and a great portion of the side of the face.
