they all looked forward With anxious hearts
to spling. -s.'.,-s,
At length the close of the season drew
near, and the. girls eagerly anticipated the
long promised party. Their relations were
arriving from all parts of the country to take
them. home; and they, toosSere to share in
the; festivities of the occasion.
The eventful evening came, and Miss Bren-
dan, taking severalofs the lmgestgirls. to her
own room, dressed them all alike in white,
suited to the scene ingwhieh they were to act
as bridesmaids. She, too, was dressed in the
greatest simplicity; butin addition, snowy

shoulders. The girls we're all curious enough
to know what was to pc done, but Kate

And all that's good, and best, and bright,

Well might this have been said. of Kate
Douglass for more bewitching beauty'was
seldom if ever seen. Her Sres ware of the
darkest hazel hue, whose every varying ox-
pres sion wore the impress of her SOUL Her
hair Of the jcttiest black, she wore it simply
parted over her forehead, and tastefully Or
ranged, displaying the finely moulded features
to the best advantage.
She was tall, splendid figure, and moved
with queenly grsce. She was the last Of
the noble and wealthy family of Douglasses,
and the iimmense estates belonging to the
different branches of the family were concen-
,trated in her. At the time when our history
commences she was but eighteen, had just
completed her extensive education, and was
one ofthe most accc cmplished ladies in London.
AS the sole heir Of wealthy family, she was
the mcst brilliant star in the large circle in
which she moved, and as such was courted
and hattered by oil. But not the ardent vows
and vehement expressions of her wealthy
snitors could win The heart IF our fair heroine
-she, too well knew that her wealth was
the greatest attraction, and deprived of that,
she would be deprived of their alterations.
Kate Douglass possessed, besides her many
attractions, heart Of uncommon loneliness,
and virtues of the rarest quality. Her warm
and aifectionSte heart was disgusted with the
cold formalities of city life, and she deter
mined to seek in some retired spot that hap
piness which child raised in the city knows
little Of, and where she would be loved Tor
herself alone. -

EidrIi1v to onc,s State.

In letter to the New York Ecening Post,
Montgomery Blair relates the following. The
preliminary remarks show that he ia still
ignorant of the true character OF the scces.
sion movement in its commencement; but
his letter manifests common sense and
practical philosophy as TO the nature of the
issue afterwards, that we look for in vain in
most Of his school:
= But when the war came in spite
of all appeals 10 sober-mindcd patriots to
stay its fury, when the thunder of cannon
had begun, what could the lovers Of peace l..
either section do but submit to the forces
with Which they were surrounded, in the
States to which they belonged? I? Gen. Lee
said to my father, when sounded by him, at
the request Of President Lincoln, about taking
the command of our army against the rebel
lion, then hanging upon the deQision of the
Virginia Convontion: Mr.. Blair, look upon
secession as anarchy. IsI owned the four
millions of slaves in the South, / would sac
riGce them all to the Union but how can |
draw my sword upon Virginia, my native
State ?" He could not determine then; said
he would consult with his friend, Gen. Scott,
and went on the same day to Richmond;
probably to arbitrate difficulties, and we see
the result. 1t is hard for o noble mind to
tear itgelf from home, kindred, friends and
native soil, and gointo opposite ranks to crush
them all.
:; This was tho case of Stephens as we'll as
Lee. 1t was the case Of nearly every eleva.

South grew weaker and began to stagger
under the heavy blous of the gigantic North.
all 1cr Jrape spirits rallied 10 a man in her
support, Even the slaves were moved by the
natural instinct; for when all the white men,
young and old, had left their homes, their
women and children, to be protected and fed
by their superior strength, they would moi
desert to our conqueripg army as it marched
through the shrinking South, but fled with
the panic,stricken families and gave them aid
and comfort. In this did not the blacks prove
themselves q loyal people? Would not the

this best of Heavens gifts, by the deception

Suffice it to say, that Kate was happy to
find one who would love herfor herself alone,
and she determined to allow Mr.. Lee to re-
main in ignorance Of her real station in life.
Before his return to stheeeity, it was ar
ranged that their marriage should take place
the following spring at the white cottage,
where they had Just known each other. Kate
informed her pupils that this was to be her
last session, as sheintended tomake. a change
in her course of living atSthe end of that time.
They were all very.muchs distressed ct this
intelligence. But she soon brought the smiles
to their faces again, BY promising to visit
them frequently, and saying that she inten-
