Interesting "Reminiscences of Hamp-
ton, Virginia..

The subjoined "reminiscences are from the Rich
mond Ezgmaer, and were published just 81
ter the recent burning of Hampton, by the rebel
troops:
This is the second time in its history that it has
been fred by the enemy. In the war of the first
revolution the English squadron, annoyed by the
exploits of two young officers, Samuel and James
DArrOw. attacked Hampton, and put the most Of
il in flames; not. however, without encountering
the most gallant resistance from the Hamptonians,
supported BY the celebrated Culpepper Minute
Men: the united force under command of Col
WoOdford. who subsequently fell in one of the
battles of the revolution.
No spot in Virginia is invested with more thrill
ing romance and historic interest than Hampton,
and it, immediate vicinity. Itwas visited in 1867
by Cspt John Smith, then an Indian town called
Ceetughtan. Here Smith and his party were re-
gaesi with corn cakes and exchanged for them
trinkets,and beads. The locality was settled from
jamestown is 1910, and was incorporated cen
tury afterwards as the town of "Ye Shire of Ez-
abeth CITY,"
The Episcopal Church, an ancient pile made of
imported brick is the oldest building in the viii
lage, and probably, from It's isolated location,
may have escaped the late confagration. 1t is
he second oldest church in the State, and is sur
'ounded by a cemetery filed with countless "mar-

quarterings, designating the resting place of hon

Ii this / what we 10 receive from the su-
premacy Of the North, the North can scarcely
expect that we should put mp very ardent vows
for their conquest of the South. If the conquest
of the Southern States means also the conquest
of Canada and Cuba, and the establishment Of
great military aggressive Power in North Amer
ica, we may learn 10 bear more patiently the
scene that occurred at Bull Run. We are not,
however, fearful enough TO be ferOcious. On
the contrary, We cordially and even sincerely con
gratulate our would-be enemies that they have
escaped with such small loss from the sword of
Gen. Beauregard, and, much as they tell Us il
would be against our interest, we sincerely advise
them to make up their quarrel, and avoid all Sc
rious effusion of blood. When they have return
ed to the habits of peace they will not he nearly

Heaven bless you! Jennie, / will
strive for your sake, to sever the bonds
that enslaye me. If had knovn you
earlier, how much misery might have
spared myself! There is no one in the
wide, wide world to care for me. No
mothers or sisters's kind words, or holy
teachings, to fortify my too excitable
nature against temptation. If your
friendship should fail me, the night Of
my life would be dark indeed
Dear Frank said the maiden,
blushing at her own earnestness. 4
an thankful that my poor influence can
in a measure, render powerless the temp
tations that surround you. But be
lieve me, dear Frank, to successfully
resist evil, one aust have aOitbin, prin-
ciples opposed to wrong. Therefore
I would have you do right for raght
sake, not merely to win the good opin
ion of oneas liable to err as yourself.
The consciousness Of having overcome
one temptation will strengthen you to
resist others. Careless and worldly as
people are, yet many friendly hands
are extended to him who strives for the
right, many happy homes opened to
shelter the lonely orphan-many words
of cheering sympathy uttered to him who
walks steadily and hopefully in the
path Of virtue, nobly resolving to de-.
serve the respect of the good.
Look above for help, and you will
have shield against which all the
temptations of the world will be power

How beautifully thought the young

And, indeed, Jcnnin Wrcathman, at

sweet pale face, looked SO pure, that
few passed her without thinking that a
guileless heart gave pIacidity to the fair

The only child of doting father,
her lot had been peacefully cast. The
death of her mother, whose memory was
fondly cherished, occurred WREN she
was but a child. But the evening

L fear he Is beyond redemption.
Dear father, you surprise me. He
is so agreeable, his conversation so
deed pity were he morally lost to us
As Jennie ceased speaking, bright
thought lightened her fathers face.
Raising his head after few minutes,
his features lit up with glad look, he
said:
L have an idea, Jennie. The poor
fellow has neither friend, mother nor
sisters. Now, | know the value Of a
good woman's influence, and Pm sure
my daughter will not think it tiresome
to devote few of her evening to the
saving of q fine young man from ruin.
| will invite him to come at any time !;
and | will myself watch for, and avert
any temptation to which he may be ex-
posed
1t was a few months after the laying
of this plan, that the conversation in the
| first part of this story took place. The
doctor had true to his promise, invited
Frank to enter more freely their home
circle. Glad to escape from his own
gloomy thoughts, and delighted to be
again near the fair girl whose image
had so long haunted his hours of thought
Frank thankfully accepted the invita-
ton. 1t was, partly, report of her
approaching marriage, that had led him
so easily into his almost forgotten habits
Now that he was once N IRE within
the pure influence of her presence, his
past misconduct showed itself in darker
colors than he imagined possible. The
recollection of his follies cast for q
time, a restraint over him in her pre-
sence. But her CHEEKY manner, and
the kindness of her father, gradually
restored his self-respect, and vowing
inwardly to deserve thei: good opinion,
he resolutely repelled the attempts made
to shake his resolve.
BY degrees, the friendship existing
between himself and his fair mentor
deepened into mutual tender regard,
though almost unconsciously to them
selves.
The doctor, now well in years, had
taken his protfg6 into partnership, feel
ing the care of his many patients too
much for his failing strength.
The conversation with Jennie had
awakened all the manliness Of Franks
nature, and his reformation was moro
to be relied on, since it was not merely
from selfish considerations, but from
the awakening of his slumbering prin-
ciples Of right.
His character was now fully cStab-
lished. Trusted almost as much as his
his efforts to retrieve his
early errors were appreciated, and
many warm friends proved, that few
whopersevere in the path ofhonor die un
loved or unknown. Fortune, too smil-
ed on his efforts. Wealth gave him the
means of doing good, and gratifying his
love of the beautiful. And Jennie
the bright star of his destiny, she who
had encouraged his failing energies,
him in the hour of des-
pair-she had given to him the keeping
of her happiness, and her gentle infu
ence was to Tighten his path through |
life. All, that glance of eloquent affec-
ton shows that, dearer than wealth or

tenderness of his Widowed affections.
Well Jennie repaid her fathers love
and care as she advanced to womanhood
and the graces of her mind unfolded
hemselves-like the pure leaves Of
rose warmed in the genial atmosphere
of home. Many bowed at the shrine
of her loveliness and warm hearts
were offered a willing sacrific to love.
But in vain. Her father was not sorry
to retain his cherished flower, though
he was willing she should, at suitable
age, assume the duties Of Il wife, should
she see one to whom he could in
trurst his treasure.
About a year previous to the opening
of our story, while returning from a
professional visit, DIR. Wreathman was
met by afriend, who warmly rocomnen-
ded to his care and patronage young
man in whom he was deeply interested.
He ardently desired to enter the medi
cal profession, but his poverty prevent
ed him, though his education was by no
means defective. He had become
reckless from hopes long deferred =
and his friend, thinking it a pity so
promising an intellect should be per-
mitted to waste its energies in dissipa-
tiQn, had ventured to recommend him
to the well-known kindness of the doc
tor.
DR.. Wreathman was at once pre-
possessed in the young mans favor, and
determined to give him every advantage
in his power. He took him home, pre-
scented him to his daughter, and bade
him consider himself as one of the
family.
For long time Frank Staunton, the
doctor's prot6ge, devoted himself with
untiring>assiduity to his studies, and in
the society of his benefactor and his
daughter, ali taste for his former per-
suits seemed to have died out. One
unlucky evening, however, as he was
Fastening home, he was startled by
having heavy hand laid upon his
shoulder. Turning hastily, he saw one
of his former associates, and before he
could recover from his surprise, his
hand was graspod and hearty How
do you do, old boy ? completely dis
PEELED his GOODNESS.
Questions were asked and answered, |
and as they walked onward by degrees
he disclosed to his friend (!) his pre-
sent good fortune. and his determina-
ton to reform, and succeed in the pro-
fession he had chosen. His friend |
him warmly upon his
success, and insisted he should join |
him in drinking TO the continuance of
such luck. Thinking it was only one
glass and determined to take bat one
Frank consented.
How little we feel the weakness Of
will against habit, until we are tempt
ed
Frank did not mean to relapse into
his Old habits. But the first glass
awakened his lurking foe, and, unable
TO resist, glass after glass followed it's
predecessors, till his noble intellect .
bowed to the dominion of ran.
From that night, though struggling .
fcebly at times to maintain his weak
resolves, his passions so gained the .
1sccudancy, that he became reckless Of |
