Sir Oar city ia beginning to present

with a bright, genial day. and tho reappearance of
the throngs of .beauty and fashion in our streets.—
The past has been an unusually gay season in the
fashionable circles, especially withm doors. Owing
to the mode the stage and rail road companies adop
ted to get rid of the’snow, by pickling the' streets
with salt, whiek hat kept -them in a continual snow
and mud slush, fashion has been obliged to abaudon
accustomed promenades, and confine herself pro

which were never so frequent as the past winter.—
The debut into fashionable socTety of the beautiful
Miss A., the charming Miss It., and the aecompiisb-

the other sex. many of whom have created k greater
sensation are not noted. Therdia Mr: John Bob-

hia entree soon after New Tears, and created a de

were his Euclid, Uxtin and Greek, bis account books
were bis library; and at do females, he never had

a fortune, which of course giv.es him a stand beg in

and happiness, by showing a laudable and disinter
ested desire to introduce him to some of theiV fash-
onable female relatives of a suitable age, who for
; ’ears bay* been anxious to reach the other side of
. ordan. Mr. Bobblestieks receives his first invita
tion to a fashionable party, beautifully and deticate-

to get that letter printed, just to let me know she
will be at home on Thursday evening next at 8

not write me a note in a business like manner, ask

JOHN BOBBLESTICKS.
Mr. Bobblestieks did not notice the memorandum
of an offer he bad made to one of uia customers on
the other side of the sheet, to Ibis effect: ** I can
furnish yon with 25 bbls Prime Pork at •l5perbbi.‘
When Miss Pimpleton received the above accep
tance toiler fashionable party, it was her turn to
make some exclamations reflecting on the knowl
edge ot Mr. Bobblestieks. -Upon my wordfwbat
is this I if this is not Bobblestieks’ acceptance. T
wonder if be tbinka I want 25 barrels of pork for my
party ?” R. S. V. Pimpleton! "The stupid fool has
taken.the French initials for my name.” Should I
not be there tn time pleafo not wait for- me, but let
the party go on. “What impudence ; yes I think
the patty wilt go on. I will answer this as it de
serves, and hope that Lshall not be favored with
hia presence. Cousin James never introduced me
to one of his wealthy frieods who was not a fool and
knew nothing about fashionable sooiety.’’
Miss Pimpleton immediately writes the following
note and semis to the dispatch poet office: -
No. 325 West 23d St.
Mr. John Bobrlesticks,
dir:—" Yours Kith a date, came to band and dul;
noted." I think if you are coming this evening,'
shall require about five additional barrels of pork .
bad you not better make the number thirty instead
of twenty-live barrels.
Yours,
•• u. a V. “.PIMPLETON.
This note reached Mr. Bobblestieks countim
room in tho afternoon a few moments after he ha<
left to go up town for the purpose of making some
slight additions to his wardrobe preparatory for the
party; previous to his departure he bad instructed
his clerk to start ojf immediately S3 bbls. of pork,
should an order, which he expected, be received to
that effect. The note of Miss Pimpleton according
to the understanding of the clerk, was the order,and
it must be filled forthwith. Five cartmen who live in
the upper part of the city are engaged to take pork
to 325 West 23d St., when they go home in the eve
ning.
We will now change the scene to the house ofthe
widow Pimpleton and her daughter; time about 9
o’clock P. M., the blocking of Broadway below the
Park, would give but an imperfect ideaof the street
in front of the splendid msnaion of the Widow Pim
pleton. The crowd here consisted entirely of coach
es and cart loads of pork. Those who are conversant
with the hackmen and cartmen’s vocabulary—the
whole catalogue of which was brought into requisi
tion on this occasion, can imagine the classical
language, y small portion ot which has yet been
adopted by Webster, which saluted the ears of the
ladies and gentlemen who were sitting in their car
riages patiently awaiting the termination ofthe con
flict without. No police were present, as it is not
their custom to appear until the heat of battle is
over. Mrs. Pimpleton and he.rdaugbter were in as
great consternation as could be expected under the
circumstances?" They sent their coloured manserv’t
a courier, to the cartmen repeatedly, to inform them
that the pork was being left at the wrong place, but
he was met invariably with the reply that Mrs. Pim
pleton had better keep him in the house, as he was
making the street altogether too dark—they were
acting according to Mr. Bobblestick’s orders. In
due time thu thirty barrels of pork wefe deposited
ou the sidewalk, the carts left, allowing the aarria-

stepping ’own. to step up on the barrels over which
they could walk to the stoop of Mrs. Pimpleton’s
mansion. Tkweaderverynsturallyinquires, where
is Mr. Bobblestieks who was to ba “on hand at the
time mentioned" in Miss Pimpleton’s invitation 4
Mr. Bobblestieks is in Eastinste’ad of West 93d St
and not aware that there ia more than .one 23d St.,
be finds before reaching No. 325 that he is on a pier
extending into East River, and concluding that the
street does not cross the river, and that he must have
made some mistake, he turns back and spends some
two or three hour* in making inquiries for Sirs. Pim
pleton’s place of residtoce, until ho is in West 23d
street, although be is not aware ot the fact.
Sir. Bobblestieks becoming somewhat tired of
searching after—not knowledge—but a fashionable
party under difficulties, falls into a meditative mood,
when suddenly he comes in contact with a lot of
pork which a negro is arranging info line on the out-
aide of the walk. Thi* lot ot purk produces an effect
on Mr. Bobblestieks similar to the effect of the smell
of gunpowder upon an old war horse. “Upon nr
word, says Mr. Bobblestieks, somebody in the porl
business here 7 No—private bouse—reckon this lot
can be bought cheap—s»y, vouug man, is this pork
for sale 1” “1 knows nothing about it, oply Missus

The servant takes the card and »»ks Mr. Bobble-
sticks to step into the house, which he does and re
mains in the hall while the card is being presented
to Mrs. PimpU-toil, which she reads as follows:—

"Whero did this come from, Peter?” “Gemenin

daughter—they step into the hall, being particular

discovers, for the first time, that females have one
characteristic, and that ia, that they can talk much
faster than the other sex. As to any explanation there
was no room for that, word* fell like a shower of hail
about Ms ears. Mr. Bobblestieks was bewildered,
he was gently poshed out of the hooso and the door
not so gontiy dosed, after him. lie - found hia way
home and retired to rest, dreaming that in endeav
oring to find a fashionable party he had upset a bee
hive—the whole swarm of -whtch were entering his
ears. In the morning, after a restless night, Mr.
Bobblestieks goes to his place of business and finds
Miss Pimpleton’s cousin, James, who did not arrive
at the party until after the close of the focegoing
scenes. The affair was soon explained and Mr. Bob
blestieks ordered carts sent to return the thirty bar
rets of pork to his store, Mr. Bobblestieks had fre
quent invitations, subsequently, to parties, Atf, bnt
he always declined, as the name of a party or female
produced a sort of bussing sensation in his head,
which, to him,was extremely disagreeable, and when
aver he saw anything resembling a bee hive, he al
ways gave it a wide berth.- Very respectfully, C.
