marked cordiality, and took par

unnamed me thatI could hardly
refrain from weeping. Rosa was
dressed in o rich Swiss mhlls dress,
heavily founced. Her hair was
done up in long flowing ringI0ts,
with u wreath of red, white and
blue flowers for u crown. A scar.
let tunics flted,tightlgs to Aer per
son, set out her full round form to
admiration. She had on white
kid gloves and slippers, and u long
flowing veil hung down behind,
almost reaching her feet. Rosa
was of nut brown color, with
piercing black eyes, and teeth
like rows of pearls. Had she been
white, she would have almost RI
vailed her mistress in point Of
beauty; as It was, she was highly
esteemed for her good looks and
her graceful manners.
Colonel Morgan came in while
we were admiring Rosa, and said,
in a jovial way:
Il tried to play prank on Mr..
CIoverton, but he wouldn't bite
at my hook"
What was it?' Miss Anne in
quired.
"Why, I told I;im we were going
to have a wedding at our house
tonight, and so shaped my words
as to make him believe
at was mel" shouted Anne.
Eyes, but I reckon he smelt a
rat, for he didn't ask a single
question about it,
ooh, he wouldn't have cared a
copper if it had been me- and
Anne gave me a look that locked
volumes.
Little did the Colonel know
1
bow successfully he had deceived
me, and what unutterabie anguish
it had caused me. But now that il
Nas over, and the secret known
only to myself, I entered fully into
the spirit of the occasion.
The sound of . violin outside
fell nron my ear, and | went out to
sec what was gong on. The moon
had arisen. and was pouring a
flood of mellow light on the scene.
Negroes were focking in from
every quarter; gray-headed old
slqves were sitting out in the yard
smoking their pipes, while troops
of little blacks were frolicking
about Oh the grass; a company Of
ladies aud gentlemen of color were
tripping the light fantastic toe, to
the melting strains of an old Vir-
ginia air, on the green. I ap-
preached them and stopped to
witness their performances and
enjoy the music, for vulgar as it
might have seemed to ears accus-
toned to the delicate strains of
your Frel ch and Italian operate
music, to me it was ravisling.-
The vigorous and voluptnous mel.
ody of the "Arkansas Traveller"
tom and jerry" and kindred
airs, gave me more delicious pleas
ure than all the fine spun, artistic
music I ever heard. The old vet
eran, who was the Orphcus Of the
scene, played with astonishing en-
ergy. With closed eyes,. a benign
smile on his dusky countenance,
and his head swaying from side
to side, he ground out the music
with q power that cnraptured all
the negroes, and at least one white
man. .... .-.
