THE BELLE OF THE BALL-ROOM.

(From the Muses of May fair.) ftrm lore was like most other loves;— A little glow, a little shiver, 1 rosebud and a pair of gloves, And "Ffr not y*l npon the river; _r,n_B ..sle-nsy of some one's heir, some hopes of dying broken-hearted; a miniature, a lock of hair, The usual yows-and then we parted.

■We psrted; months and years rolled by; Ye wet a? ft,' n fonr 'nmmers after; Onr parting was all sob and sigh; Our meeting was all mirth and laughter: Tor ?n my heart's most secret cell 'There had been many other lodgers ; lid she was not the ball-room's belle, But only-Mrs Something Rogers! —Praed.
