" From the sad day upon which Adam was made
to dance out of the garden of Eden-in all ages Of
this orb men dance-in all climates-in every lati-
tude-on the great continents, and in the green
islands Of the ocean, the pastime of the dance
seems to have been spontaneous, like the principle
Of religion-and like it a never-faillng source of
pleasure and thrilling delight. Kings and mighty
potentaes, the great and the beautiful, through all
the gradatons Of mans most bloody and disgrace
full history, have Bowed to the divinity of 1erp-
sichore, and sought her consultations in the midst
of smoking cities, and nations desolated. In short,
from the morning when the satellites of the sun
first moved off in the grand cotIllon of the constel-
atons of heaven, down to the present day, dancing
has been a very popular recreation. But we think
this is quite preface enough as it s our solemn
purpose and bounden duty to report to you some
thing of the ball last night given at Caruss saloon,
for the benefit OF the actors and actresses who
were sufferers from the late conhagraton Of the
National Theatre.


:. The evening was clear and balmy as the first
wind of spring stealing up from the gulf into the
green valleys Of Weatern Texas; and all over the
sky, like diamonds


"The stars above were bri lightly shining,


Because they'd nothing else to do"
