"There never was more perfect union

In every county there is union, conf.

the Wing flag. In Montgomery, though
the Wing party has as yet scarcely
made Il beginning, the Wing heart is
right, and ere long her fires will be seen
to blaze as OF yore. Let every Mary

o. Several OF our lady readers who
are delighted with the writings OF our
friend and pet aulhoress, Miss l.. Vir-
ginia Smith, have requested Us TO give
some little account and description OF
her. so that they may form an opinion Of
the personal appearance OF this young
lady who, in so short a space Of time,
has Justly earned distinguished and
enviable reputation. We VIII comply
with these requests, and give them as
minute description as we can.
She is native ol Virginia, and was
educated iu Pennsy ylvania; during the
last three years or SO, she has resided
in Memphis, Tennessee. She is about
twenty years Of age is rather below
the medium height, and is timely formed.
She has an expansive forehead, delicate
ly archrd and finished eyebrows, large
blue eyes, which are singularly expires.
sive, thou. h soft ard liquid, evincing
keen and delicate feelings; rosy cheeks,
adorned with beautiful dlmples, and
mouth OF exquisite moulding. Her hair
is dark brown, which she wears in curls
which are very becoming, and give her
a girlish appearance. She is consider.
ed very handsome. Z. She possesses ca
sy and graceful manners, and charming
conversational powers. She rarely ev-
CT speaks OF her writings, even TO her
most intimate friends, Others find great
difficulty in inducing her to ailude TO
them under any circumstances, this,
let us add, is an invariable characteris-
tic Of true genius. Insocie:y she is gay,
sprighlly, witty and full Of iun. Her
speech 10 accurate, and slow enough to
be always clear and comprehensive
her voice is low, soft and sweet, falling
on the ear gently, and awakening in the
heart emotions OF tenderness and purity.
She possesses great pride and seli-res-
pect, an elevation Of sentiment and dig
nifty Of character. The best evidence
OF her personal influence is found in the
fact that ihose who know her most lnti-
mate!y are her greatest admircrs,- and
when they read her poetry, see in il,
beautiful az il 10 in itself, all the inspi-
ration Of the amiable woman. She ex-
hibits few if any of the eccentricitles Of
genius she is delicate and fcmini; e,
with nothing harsh or rude to diminish
the beauty and Ioveliness OF her charac-
ter. Those who are most intimate with
her say that it is impossible to close the
heart against her; she wins her way
into without effort and when once there,
rules it with Il gentle sway which is SUI
preme.
Such is 3rief sketch Of the Charac-
ter and appearance Of Virgla" Smith.
Below we give sweet little poem,
which speaks for itself. which she sent
us short time siEce,-and which lorms
