How vain were all it's sweetest hopes,
How more than bitter were its tears!"
"Leoline Leoline where have you /
kept yourself this long time2 week passed |
and not been to single ball or rout yet
Why child, this we'll never do, every one
is remarking on it. that Leoline Fairfield
the heiress and belle, should absent herself
from society, is something they cannot un-
derstand. So as there is to be a grand
ball this evening, you must be sure and at
tend )" exclaimed my pleasure-loying chap
erone, Mrs. Sanborn. "No excuse now, SO
you may as we'll hush" said she, as | was
about to decline. ''Lute wishes to occupy
your room with you for this evening, as
you can assist each other in preparing for
the ball :" and turning, she was about leav-
ing the room, when a sudden thought
struck her, and she exclaimed-"Put on
your sweetest smiles this evening, as un-
derstand there is to be distinguished ex-
lie from Italy, present" and with gay
au revoir, she departed.
The hours few swiftly away, and as the
shades of twilight deepened around, Lutte
LeVert entered my room. "What" ex-
claimed she, "writing, still writing; really
feel for your poor brain. Truly, if you do
not give it up and take some rest, you will
ruin your health" "No, Lutte, dear,
shall not injure my health by writing fal
from it; but | shall win name that vii
last when | am gone" Thus we sat anc
conversed, until the tolling of the evening
bells aroused us to the consciousness tha
it was time to prepare for the party
When | was clasping the last diamond
among her dark locks-she exclaimed :
do you know, Leoline, that you are goin!
to make quite a sensation this evening g.
Your known reputation as writer, wi
ensure you plenty Of conquests. There ar
several new arrivals, too, among them
young bride and groom, and an Italian ez
lie and patriot; the latter am going

AS we were thus conversing, Marion e
tered, and we accompanied her to the b;
room. The scene that met our eyes w
one of bewildering splendor. Fair fori
arrayed in costly jewels and satins, wavi
: plumes and brilliant flowers, all tended
:. enhance the beauty of the wearers. Y
it was a glorious scene. Every eye &
peared to beam with Joy, but alas W

Mr.. EDITOR The Davenport Female
College is just now being blest with a gra-
cious revival of religion. In addition to
number of conversions among the young
men in the village, some ~ Of tie young
ladies of the College have obtained 'the
pearl of great price, The meetings are
generally held in the College chapel 7 and
at our prayer meeting one morning eleven
were happily converted. The gracious
work is still progressing, urged forward by
the untiriag zeal and perseverance, of our
faithful president, the Rev. Ii. NJ. Mood
and the prospect is most encouraging that
the fruits of this revival will be gathered
"many days hence"
Parents having daughters to educate,
ought, think, to make themselves ac-
ou.inted with this Institution, which,
though Just now in its infancy,is rapidly
growing up to take ityplace among the
first class institutions Of the kind in the
Southern States. The second session will
commence about the middle Of July. at
late meeting of the Trustees, Mr.. E. p.
Hagler was elected Steward, and Mrs. G.
A. Hagler, Stewardess. The price of board
will be about 800 per month, and wash

fessors, and all engaged aE teachers or scbsl
ars, will eat at the Same table.

"why sostill! uhave neither said yea nor
nay. Are you not pleased with the idea ?"
Il cannot say that I am particularly so, for

is far more preferable than the crowded ho-
tells of a watering place. You know l
have had considerable experience in that
line, and have concluded that home is the
best place after all" "Oh p exclaimed Ma
rion, "Leoline, had much rather stay in her
room and write all day, than see the great
est sight in the world. But she shall go
now, nolens volens )" and as usual she car
