The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1828-01-19

The village bells rung a merry peal, the morn
appeared bright the hopes of youth, and not
face bot shone with joyous badness. Every
one seemed full OF business, some were seen go
ing to and fro, others were observed returning
from the fields laden with the choicest flowers,
while many a bashful maiden, full Of 10y and
hope, sat gally weaving simple wreath Of jes-
sanine.
The village nhab,arts were now attracted
by the rapid approach of travelling carriage
and four 1t stopped at the principal inn. and
Stranger Of imposing appearance alishted. 1t
was easily seen that he was person of conse-
quencc-the naughty, yet graceful dignity of
his whole demeanor, spoke at once his rank and
even the courteous urbanty Of his manner
seemed to say" it is only condescension."
Add, ssing himself to his host. he enqnired
the reason of the hustle in the village
"Why, your honor" answered the Landlord
whose name was Merton, it is Miss Ella's
birthday, and they are going to have grand
Ball"
"And who is Miss Ella p asked the Stranger
"And have you not heard of Miss Ella
Cleveland? she is the pride Of our Viii agt-bc-
loved by the Young, and adored by the old. she
is never seen. but admiration and blessings fol

That evening the lights b(a"ed in the man
sion of MIR. Cleveland--the village maidens,
bright with rosy health and checiiulnc>s, were
throneing therc-some attended by gay and
gallant youth while others brcathed secret
wish that they would appear pleasing in the eye
of him they loved best
Among the numerous yisants was our friend,
Mr.. Merton, and with him appeared the elegant
Stranger. Mr. Beverly, who, advancing into the
Hall, was presented TO Mr. Cleveland, and re-
ceived with mingled politeness and kindness
On entering the room, where the dancers were
assembled, Mr. Bevelly's attention was ri, cited
on lovely girl on whom he could not look With
out instant emotion. Her face and features
were lilnmmcd With sweet expression, and there
was in her countenance such sense and innos
ccnre united, that it was impossible TO behold
without wishing to know her She was modest
ly attired in a white muslin dress-a white sa
tin ribbond bound her slender waist, and lnue ed
to the ground, while a half blown rose was the
sole and simple ornament of her head.

He spent delightful hall ho4r in conversa-

would have been the height Of happiness, but
Mr. Beverly knew that he could not hope to en-
gross her attention from all the company, and
rising he bowed to her with a regret he could IL

Engineers be instructed forthwith to locate the
road between the Point Of Rocks and the limits of
the city OF Baltimore, and that they keep in view
that the same shall terminate at point best caicu-
lated TO distribute the trade throughout The town

The act of Assembly which author;ses the Com

seen that such extension must be with the consent
oil the Mayor and City Council.
" That the Rail Road to BE- constructed within
