There arc probably not many of oar 1
readers who can remember how Christ-
:nu was spent in the city of Pattsburah :
so long ago as 1818. The people in
those days do not seem to have been
given to amusements, in public way
at least, for in looking oveoar old files
I ri
we ace no mention made o any place of
public entertainment even during the
holidays. We read, ho Ter, that a
sermon was preached on the morning of
Christmas day, to the Sunday School
children by Sot Hey. , Mr. Myron. On
this occasion "several hundred children
of both mica, who had been rescued
from idleness and vice," appeared with
their teachers and deported themselves
with exemplary propriety. The writer
of thiarticle from which we glean this,
thought there was no placu l ithere inch
institutions were more needed than in
this city, where the great mus of the
population were careless of the moralsof
their l ebildren. He then laments over
the led influence exerted on them by
the constant influx of strangers, and
hoped' that liberal persona would au
that the "Sunday' School Amputation
did not expire." We are then told that
the editors were particularly pleased to
find what remarkable proficiency the
pupils of the /deears. /Rely, MIS Attain

kaphy, as evinced.in the interesting ex
hibition the day before We wonder if
these were all the ways the people of
those days I had of- publicly amusing
thetuelves, and If they enjoyed them
selves any less on that account. We
wonder too if any of the boys who were
eo proficient in grammar mid giegraphy
remember the interesting Chthitniss ex •

to adopt the real Donuts. When the

ITao Vigilant/lalquerada Ball.
,
The second gratin masquerade ball of
the Vigilant Steam Fire Engine Compa
ny was held Monday night at Lafayette
Hall, and like all affairs of the charged
tor undertaken by that spirited and en
1.
to-prising company, was a perfect sae- l
etas. There were probably some two
hundrtel couple. in attendance. The ar
rangements were very ("triplets and or
der and decorum marked the entertain
ment, nothing occurring to prevent the
enJoyrizent of everybody in attendance.
,
The gallant "boys" and their friends for
the occasion "donned their old olo'se"
and to right royal advantage appeared
in the masquerade. In our rather limi
ted experience In .life we have had few
occasions presented for thrusting- our
selves into the society of crowned hoods.
noble dukes, corpulent duchesses, pretty
princeeses, profligate princes, queenly
queens, knobby kings, rich earls, and
the upper crust of "our own democratic
aristocratic "hest elociory." The resolve
to play Jenkins was formed ut once,
nod the desire to forestall the Fash
ion Caitlin of a nsighboring Sunday J.:u
tlet in moselp about the affair was par
donable. We played Jenkins-yss a
veritable Jenkins, and had the exquisite
pies/more of dancing a few hour* atten
dance on "Illuatrious individuals"
whose very names remised na down into
the depths of the dirk ages over the pages
of a quarto edition of sornebody's hie
tory of the world. With all the grace,
ease and dignity of a Robert Maurice,
we, robed in the heavily chalk-whitened
Meek of "dead-bead" paned between
several of the "richest men of Turkey"
(who kept door at a trilling soul apiece)
' and wore at once taken in charge by the
I "Emperor Napoleon," and ushered, for
ward to a position of honor and diatom
' den.. On our right was "General Grant"
poliog away. On being Introduced to
him, he ceased smoking and refused to
enter into any convers ation volunteer
ing too remark, however, that he had
"no opinions but opinions, and those
opinions were his country's oplolona,
'and when the aforesaid country could be
beneficed by the expaundon of the here.
enfore mentioned opinions. ho would
proceed to express." lie did'rit expreas,
but his lucid remark's fell 114 dew drops
