Entry.
At morn I prayed: " I i'airt.would see
How Three are One, and One is Three;
Read the dark riddle unto me."
• i -
I wandered forth.; the #ntand air
I saw bestowed with equal cure
On good'and'eril;f6l and fair.
•• • •
No partial favor drotoped the rain ;
Alike the rigteims and' profane
Rejoiced above - their, heading grain. '
And my heart murrniatre frls it meet -
That blindfold Nature thus should treat'
With equal hand.the tares and wheat?"
A presence melted through niy mood,
A warmth, a light, al sense of good,
Like sunshine through. a. winter wood. j _
I saw that presence, rimiledlf:omplete
In her white innocence, pause to greet
A. fallen sister,of the: street.
"Beware!" I said, ",in this I see . P .
No gain to her, but loss to thee : -
Who touches pitch defiled must be."
I passed the haunts'ofshams,andsin,
And a voice whispered: "Who therein
Shall these lost sot& to Heaven's peace win ?
" Who there shall hope and streno dispense,
And lift the ladder up from thence, '
Whose rounds are pruers of penitence?"
I sdid: " No higher life they Lamy;
These earth-worms love to lave it so, •
Who stoops to raise them, sinks &slow."'
That night with painful care Iread
What Hippo's saint and Calvin said— '
The living seeking to; the dead!
• I
In vain I turned in weary , quest '
Old pages, where (God give them rest!)
The poor creed-mongers &earned and guessed:
And still I prayed : "Lord let me see
How Three are One: and-One is Three;
Read the dark riddle unto me l"
1 50
Then something whisPered ; "Dost titou pray
For what thou bast? This very day,
The Holy Three have crossed thy way_
" Did not the gifts Of sun and'air' 2 ,
To good and ill alike declare
The all-compassionate Fathel's care?
IL In the-white soul that 'stooped to raise
The lost one from herievilways, ' .•
Thou saw'st,the Chris; whona,angels praise !
"A bodiless Divinity: ,ri
The still ; small Voice that spake to ,thee
Was the Holy Spirit's'mystcry •
"Oh, blind of sight, of , faith how small!
Father and Son a`ndlloly Call—
This day thou hasi defiled firm ail I
"Revealed in love and sacrifice,
The Holiest passed before thine eyes,
One and the same, in threefold guise.
"The equal Father in rain and sun,
Hii Christ in the good to evil done,
His Voice in thy soul—iand the Three are One I"
I shut my grave . Aquinas fast,
The monkish gloss Otagea past,
The schoolman's creed aside I cast.
And my heart answered: "Lord I see
How Three are One l and One isiThree; '
Thy riddle bath been read to me! "

I ought not, perhaps for charity's sake,
to rend in twain the veil Of ihe Temple
of the World's 'ministry, 'whereat the
great Charity Ball :was: given last - iveek..
That occasion was. both a failure' and a
success. As a ball it was the neatest
since "the great globe itself" was tossed
into space and went spinning in the plane
tary' dance rorinallie sun; but, unlike its
orbicular autetype, it did' not whirlin the
giddy mazes of the` dance' with the har
mony and regularity ofiplanetary law, and
soon fail into chess. • 1
'At midnight, the time When ' the great
est number was present anti the best or

equalled splendir. More '.than 15,000
people must have 'been on the floor and
in the galleries at that hoar.: ,In the 'cen

scaffolding were the haudiald orchestra,
who alternated in disceurt4ing _the music
of the spheres.. From the axis Of this
rythmic rotundity the balldeparted from
the curvilineir and' took ow a rectangular
form. Four double lines •of dancers,
each line more than, a hundred feet long
and a - thousand feet strong, extended from
the orchestra as a center to each . point of
the compass, forming a perfect cross, glit

Proportions of the equeStrian statue_ 'of

up a scene of the rarest splendor and mag

_it was too brilliant to
keep.

The demon ofdisccird was thrown among
the happy throng in this wise ::Bacchus
You know is a very dear and usually al
together too near a relative of Terpsichore.
Well, there was a temple within the Tem
ple,, consecrated to His Jolliness) and many
Went - in thereat to worship, some "to
smile" and other some to • harden ' their
hearts; but all came out infuriated and
unreasoning devotees, singing praises to
their god, and anm uncing in poetic num
bers that they "wouldn't go borne till
morning." Thereupon several' thousand
resolved they would go home atonce; and
then there was a rush for the cloak .and
dre:;sing morns, bully protectors of faint
ing ladies broke over all rules and railings
in quest Of, femenine overgear, waiting
girls became 'confused and swoonod, shelves
canidown',with a crash, the ticketed
bundles tumbled- into an indiacriminate
mass. of millinery. and dry goods, from
which thievei now broke, through and,
stole' the choicest, and the balance by cart
loads was taken possession of by the po
lice; while the real owners had to go home
bonnet and shawless, or enveloped in the
Overcoats of their companions. The mass
of clothing occupied the sleepless atten
tion of the Executive Committee for the
balance of the week to classify, select and
return to the rightful owners.
Such was the breakina. m up - of, this, in
several senses, monster Ball. The pro
jection was well managed up to the sale
of the last ticket, and then the reins of
rule and management were dropped, and
the concern was left as if it was a huge
brass clock to, - whizz .and whirl 'and run
itself down as fast as it - liked. The re
sult, however, to the charitable ,fund was
a decided success—a clear profit of nearly
810,000, which covers a multitude of sins,
and affords consolatory, reflections to the
myriad of uncovered backs
Our Catholic friends tried the same
method of replenishing the treasury of
their Orphan Asylum on Monday evening
of this week, at the same Crystal Palace,
and having, the frightful example of their
Protestant brethren before their eyes,
they confusion
course danced out the night with
less confusion and—less cash. I
- -
The sins of New York are proierbial .
and widely known. Indeed we are now
confessing, in sackcloth; to multitudes of
sins, both of omission and connnission;
but the sins of our Street Commission are
a stench in our oisrn ncstrilE. The offence
is too rank to "smell to Heaveii," and
eternal justice commends the nauseating
effluvia tor our own noses. It is •as.if all
the offal and garbage, and standina c pools
of the gutters had emptied their literal
drainage into the very - office of the Street
COMmissioner, where for years they have
corrupted the records, - rust-citen the treas
ury and mortified the people : All this,
however, is not to be wondered ; at, for
have we not a Devlin .amono• us going
about the streets, seeking warn- he may
devour: He has been chained up for
some while now, (though not exactly •for
the prophetic " thousa.nd years,") and
could do no harm; but nur COurf of Ap
peals has just loosed him again " for a
little season.",
As this is likely to be a prominelit topic
in our . City affairs for some time, perhaps
your readers would, like to learn, or be re
minded, of the merits of the case. Last
summer, our then more or less efficient
Street Commissioner,. Mr. Taylor; "took
sick" and died. Our new Charter, (we
make a new one every year or two,) pro
vided that after Mr. Taylor's term had
expired, if a vacancy ShOuld occur before
the expiration. of the term for which any
further, incumbent Should be' elected, it
should - be the duty of the Governor to ap
point a successor for thh balance of the
term. Our governor •King, looking at
the spirit of the law, at once appoint
ed Mr. Conover successor to Mr. Tay
lor: Mayor Wood, looking to the let
ter of the law, appointed Devlin, a weal
thy;and 'wed known street contractor,
to be 'Street Ccimmissioner. Thei Com
mon Council, .ifter a bard struggle,Con
firmedithe Mayor's appointment . There
upon resulted.nunierous injunctions from
oar City CoUrts, besides several downright
fistonffii and fights;.' The Court:B them
selves 'came near getting by the ears, 'so
pretty and interesting was the quarrel;
but Conover, either in person or by dep t
'uty,. kept, possession of the office while
the case went through the various Courts i
till now, this. d
,e_oiston ousts him kind in-.
stela Devlin.' Mr. Conover, hoWever,
Made ,goad use of his hold upon the office,
for . in', 'straightening out its affairs and
overhauling the Old' contracts and ' p ther
papers pertaining Devlin's paving and
street opening jobs, the most astounding
frands,
.altered figures and perjuryl were,
developed; and prosecutions based' ripen
the facts are now before ;Courts: 'Dev
lin; by deputies and agents, has made two
unsuccessful. attempts fOrce and cun
ning to get, pesiemon, of these awkward
evidences againstl:dm and now,- if * this
decision prevails,. they- are to be surren
dered-to his hands without remedy. *May
or Tiem - atin on receiving news by telegraph
of the decision locked up the office and
. put the keyi in his pocket.: It is within
his capacity to commission this Devlin to
outer darknesi where there is gnashing ofj
teeth, and he will doubtless do so; but
the Common Council are themselves of
the, Beelzebub stripe, anti, they Will con
sent to no such unscriptural heresy as
casting out Devlin by' Beelzebub. j So
we must go on and endure as best we can.
If any body hereafter asks, «What is the
matter with New York ?" it, will be suffi
cient to .answer, J" It bath a Devlin." But
if you should hear next fali that the sov
ereign people have dismissed hiin into the
herd of swine which surround, su.Stain,
and fatten upon,him, and that they [have
rushed altogether, down into the-sea and
drowned themselves, 'you may know that
for once the, hindmost has taken the. De
vlin and dashed him down to his own Place.
It may be a matter of some surprise to
your readers to learn that We have an In
dian war on our, hands, right in the heart
of this great city, a - war, that raged with
all the fierceness of those of the'primitive
forests and. colonial times. The principal
camp of one tribe is pitched in the Bow=
cry, and the council fires of the Other are
kept blazing' in Mercer Street. Scouts
are sent out in every direction;, spies gain'
access to either camp,. challenges are flung
out on all hands, manifestoes flutter in
every breeze and victory perches alternate
ly on the banner of either host. A, reg
ular pitched battle_has been
,agreed upon'
between the-tribes; to come off nest Mon
day,.at the "01d Wigwam," which,! it is
supposed) will.ilecide the fate of the ,f' Ri
val. Sachems." • Fernando Wood is the
renoWned and invinpible brave who leads
the tribe of "Foresters".; and our Post
master Fowkr," sustained by a council of
braves - of the prowess of Captain Rynders,
heads the regular time honored tribe of
St. Tammany. , The weapon} selected is
the ballot--can't say,, however, but, in the
last emergency, recourse may be had to
the bullet. • A new council of Sachems
is to, be chosen. Meantime the good and
-
brave everywhere await the, conflict in
terrific suspense,
Passing the Astor House, the other day
I saw, looing out of an upper window,
a group of heads with belted brows and
feathered scalps which belonged unques
tionably to the genuine aboriginal wild In
dian. I thought at first some Comanche
Chief had sent on a subsidy of merciless
savages " whose known rule of warfare is
indiscriminate slaughter, ; ' to go din and
win at the ensuing Tammany struggle;_
but learned, on inquiry, that they were a
delegation of Pawnee braves, on their way
home from Washington, with no thought
9f risking their heads in Tammany.
The sympathisers with; Orsini, the last
brave. victim of the French guillotine,
whose bombs, only slightly killed Louis
Napoleon, but made thorough work of the
English ministry, are soon to have a pub
lic demonstration here,- • torch-li,ght pro
cessions and all that, in commemoration
and honor of the patriotic, and self-sacri
ficing regicide. •
One of our Police. jtistices, James H.
Welsh, is down on the masked balls which
manager Ullman has so extensively ad
vertised at the Academy of Music. He
has written the manager a vigorous letter
apprising him of their illegal character,
and their liability to be suppreised by the
authorities. He says—" The sight of a
person's face is, to a certain extent, a
guaranty of his conduct and a protection
against his designs, and it is seriously felt
that the present is not a time to lend dis
guises to the, vicious and to afford riewfe
cilities for the perpetration of crime."
That's good strong English, Squire Welsh,
which will no doubt "scotch the snake"
in the grass, or rather in a mask. *Mr.
Ullman will ; now be compelled to • leave
the masks out, of his masquerades, and to
do, his dancing with visors, -
