THE SINKING SEASON.
At Pamell and Boylan’s Hall last evening there were a number of persons present, and although there were but few ladies, owing, no doubt, to the fatigue consequent upon the ball of the previous evening, the gentlemen mustered in full force. One little incident occurred which may be thus described Tall Herbert wore his ahems light, Of that he didn’t think ; When he put on the roller-skates To show off at the rink. His first adventure was his last, He’ll put on skates no more, He tried to kick the roof all in, And sat down on the floor. When Herbert dropped, the girls all laughed It was an awful fall; And when they had their backs all turned, He backed up against the wall. He called a friend—took off the skates, And giving him the wink, Said ‘ ‘ Jim lend me that long-tailed coat, I want to leave this rink. ”
