remony of taking the VEIL" by Miss Catharne
Pendergrast, the daughter of a wealthy merchant
Of Baltimore, Charles Pendergrast, Esq. The
scene at the chapel was one of the most heart
rending that have ever witnessed. She took the
vows IN direct opposition TO the wishes OF her Ia
mily, and he' ster Alice accompanied her in
side the ratings of the altar during the ceremony.
The agony evinced by the latter, In thus parting
from her sister, the only female comforter, was
terrible to behold AS The ceremony proceeded,
her whole countenance and frame bore
mastery over her feelings; but as the last
and closing part of the ceremony was be-
