NEW YORE, Feb. 8.~—At the charity ball last Thureday there was 2 lady who had on $200,000 ‘Worth of diamonds,—yet nobody ran away with her. She lives in San Francisco, but not even Jealousy ventured the whisper that her diamonds were Californian. Ebe was not besutiful, 1o say truth, but she was eparkling berond compare. | I It wos dismonds on diamonds. Ou ber head ‘Was a dismond coronet a Queen might envy.

It was his power to wed music to the words, to ke might be prepared to properly cover the damage. As to thie color of her dress orits material, I canuot say. Toguote Master Brook's eulogy on Mistress Ford, * She was too bright to look against.”* WHAT JENEINS SAYS. This charit§ ball, by the way, was the feature of the season. The Academy was only 100 -crowded, and the receipts must have been satis- factory. Thetollets did not indivate any seare- ity of money inthe' metropolis. I don’t know much about stich matters myzelf, but the ladies said they had not eeen a richer display in many sears. Moreover, Mr. Jenking sends this pars- graph: “Nothing could surpass in loveliness the costumes worn by the ladies who attended this ball. Natural roses, camclias, carnations, and ‘similax were lavished in rich profusion among the dainty drapery, while each delicately- gloved hand grasped bouguets of the choicest blossoms. Every nook aud corger of the dress- Ing-room was overflowing with beanty and fash- fon. Diamonds flashed and bright eyes sparkled &8 il trying to outvie each otherin brilliancy. Lhere was more youth and vitality and beauty than usual. Aha! for the merry peals of laugh- tor breaking upon the perfumed air from the corner where charming maids are discussing eaur and bouguets. Alas! for the deceitful 20d fair who make the most of their charms for sweet charity’s sake, breaking anew hearts that Yere blighted, turning heads that were proof Bgainst wiles.” And blessed be Jenkins for- ever! It would have been hard lines for the 4id deceitful and fair had Mr. Jenkins' place Yeen filled by such a cynie as Pope, who went home from s danee, in which he was unable to perticipate, and wrote savagely: YPainted for sizht, and esscuced for the emell, Like frigates fraaght with epice and cochine, Ball in the ladies.~ How each pirate eycs 0 weak u vessel, and 5o rich'a prize. ;A PATORED AND FAVORITE SOPRANO. The most popular church soprano in New Torks is Miss Emnda Thursby, who sings 3t the Broadway Tubernacle,—Dr. Tarlor’s. Miss Chursby is perhaps better known us a concert. than a church singer, sud no doubt- Prefers to . bave it that way. ~ But whether or not she feels #more iu place {u the concert-hall, she caunot be. out of place anywhere. Her voice is wondrovs. |- 1y fresh' and pure, of great flexibility. and rompass (to G inalt) Noris Miss Thursby less Attractive personally than musically. She is petite and yretty, neither blonde nor brunette, #nd with Inir of that soft shade of brown which pocts recognize as above the raven-black or poldenred. Her disposition is no less sweet than ber manners are charming, and no wonder she fs 2 favorite of the first degree. It fs said she is without an enemy, though the jealousies 2nd rivelries among leading sopranos are s 2oted as those 2mong lovers, and though a most sxcellent quartette was displaced to make room Jor that of which she Is 2 member. THE FORTGND OF THE PAST. Miss Thursby tirst appeared as 2 clurch singer &t Plymouth, some seven or eizht years ago, und w3s at lomw_ £ flsm’iw‘ After toree or four years of service there, she was tempted by a largesalary elsewhere, and, 1s I‘l_vmuunf dislll:'ved y the idea of bidding for singers, was permitted to togke the change.

Miss Thureby was worn after her summer’s work with the Madame, but she was rewarded by the successes of the winter. She is especially adapted for the concert. Her ballads never fafl todraw an encore, and are full of the bright- Dess and charm of her own nature. For a truly Ereat oratorlo singer she has not yet sufficient Sreadths 1s not so food as Mrs. Imogene Brown, ot St. Bartholomew’s, or Mrs, Lasar Stadrell, of Plymoutl; not better than Miss Kate Stark, of the Church of the Covenant.

TInheritors of vast wealth are proverbially gpendthrifts. The golden ore is dug from the mine, refined and coined by the labor of other bands’ and the sweat of other brows. Like chfldren playing with an expensive toy, they can form no just estimate of its value. When the donor weighed it, he cast into the balance so maany dags of unremitting and fatirning toil, so many anxious and slecpless nigbts, so much self-denial, and so much care. But the inher- itor into his balance throws only—pleasure. The one values ft by what {t cost himj; the other, for what It will purchase. Like the prodigal in the Scripture parable, e thoughtlesly expends 1t to gratify the caprive and cravings of hisnature. Then comes the last scene,—the misery, the remorse, aud the long and weari- some journey back tothe home of fragul indus: try. But there are other prodigals. On her fa- vorites our bounteous parent, Nature, has lav- ished ler richest treasure—hcaith. But the prodigal values it lightly, for it cost him nanght, and recklessly squanders it in riotous living. Present pleasure obscures future want. Scon the curtain rises ou the last scene. We see him helpless, impoverished,—the rich treasures of body and mind all lost,—~in misery and despair. Remorseful Conscience holds up to him the mirror of memory. In his own reckless folly he perceives the cause of his present pain. e resolves to return.
