ANGELIC VIEW.
TO TUB EDITOR. Sir,— On Monday laet, about 6.30 a.m., on the balcony of an hotel, adjacent to a house of worship (and a late butchers shop), could be observed an angelic form, which stood arrayed almost in nature's costume, her only visible dress being a night-gown. Standing erect, this astute feminine form gazed on the passers by to the ocean beach. This graceful looking individual would remind one of Venus gazing at Adonis as he went to bathe in the brook. Shakespere says, “Oh, woman, woman, thou shouldest have few sins of thine own to answer for, thou art the author of such a book, Ao.” Surely this angelic form might air her night-gown in a less conspicuous place than the balcony of an hotel. Well might one of our authors exclaim, “ But what is woman, only one of natures blunders.”—l am, &c., Luna.
