Cl1hI LEM L.
I was not very much surprised to re-
ceive, one morning, letter from my
niece, Mrs. Lorimer, although she had
never written to me since her marriage
nearly four years ago-nor did the
contents of her letter excite much aston
ishment in my mind, different as it was
from the undertaking accounts had al
ways received of her happiness and pros
perity. ! was unspeakably gricved, to
be sure; but I had always had my
doubts abont the sincerity of her pro-
tcstations, for l knew the vain, proud
heart of tho girl, and that to own her
self disappointed would seem to her hu-
initiation and defeat.
/ did not overlook the remembrance
that her sisters had visited her, and
brought back glowing accounts of her
felicity but then fine house and Il
large establishment made up their csti-
mate of happy marriages and so long
as everything seemed smooth and cOur-
teous between the pair, they would
never look further or deeper. lloWbcit
here was Isabel's countcr-statement:
"Dear Aunt Sarah" ran the letter,
"will you leave home, and come and
stay with us for time? The house is
quiet; the Summer is in its glory; and
it will be such a pleasure to me. Dc
come in spite of obstacles, for | am un-
happy and want to consult you. TIC
whom else can look ?"
So, though / felt it rather hard tc
leave my pretty cottage and tloWer-gar-
den at the pleasantcst season of the
year, and still more so to break off my
old ways and habits Of life, which fitted

her clear hazel eye and melancholy

much attached to her husband, and his
infdclity has made deep inroads upon
hcrmind. Her dcep-scatcd melancholy
often produces flights ofinsanity, which
increase with her declining years.
Lucy Decker Secly is the first wife in
"pluraity." or the second "woman."
Lucy Decker was married to Isaac
Sccly, and had two children. She after
ward bocamca Mormon, and went to

her, told her that Sccly could never
give her an "eXhaltation" in the ctcr-

While the zephyrs rose to fan her
Softly to the radiant sea.

In the flush Of youth stood dreaming,
And he was in glorious seeming,
Like an angel from above;
Through his hair the breeacs sportcd,
And rs on the T'U he floated
Oft that pilot ~ lel-throated,
Warbled lays of hope and love.
Through those locks, so brightly flowing,
Buds of laurel bloom were blowing,
And his hands anon were throwing
Music from Tyre of gold;
Swlftcr down the stream he Elided,
Soft the purple waves divided.
And n rainbow arch ahidcd
on his canvas snowy fold.
Anxious hearts with fond devotion
Watched him sailing to the ocean,
Prayed that no wild commotion
Midst the elements might rise
And he seemed some young Apollo,
Charming summer winds TO follow,
While the water flags corolla
Trcmblcd to his music sighs.
Tut these purple waves enchanted
Rolled beside city haunted
BY an awful spell, that daunted
Every conner TO her shore,
Night shades rank the air cncumhercd
And pale marble statues numbered,
Awolie TO life no more.
Then there rushed with lightning quickness
Der his face a mortal qulclincss
And the dews in fearful thickness
Gathered DER his temples fair.
And there swept dying murmur
Through the lovely Southern summer
As The bcautcous pilot conner
Pcrlshed by that city there.
Stlll rolls ON that radiant river,
And the sun unbinds his quiver
Der the starlight streams forever
On its bosom as before;
Rut that vessels rainbow banner
Greets no more the gay savanna,
And that pilots lutte drops mama
On the purple waves no moro.

The Masquerade Rnii at the ThfF
SuIuiur,


WHITE SULPHUR, September ), 1867.
The managers Of the masquerade ball
advertised to be given here last evening
we're subject to quite disappointment by
the nor-arrival Of the costumes III que
time. There was a respectable number OF
ruests present, and the ballroom looked
something like it did during the gay sea-
son. The number was certainly as great
as was expected by the most sangulne,
most of whom had agreed in few days
after the ball was announced that 1t had
been deferred TO period rather late IL
the season.
Mr.. Jaccheri, the prime mover of the
affair, however, determining that the great
interest and pains he had taken IN the al
fair should not be lost, threw the ball
room open TO everybody, ana declared his
intention Of giving the supper FREQ. So
that, after all, delightful evening was
spent by those present, and it WAS not far
advanced before, under the inspiration OF
Roscnherger's music, and the cheering
sight of q gpodly number OF danccrsprcsent,
they were made 10 forget the disappoint.
mcnt caused by the failure OF the costumes
to arrive. The supper was one that would
tempt the palate Of prince. tlocEs Of
wild pigeons, whole tribes Of phcaSants
and any number Of squirrels, besides other
dcicacies of more domestic nature
were served to the large number Of per-
sons. All things considered, the ball car
not be called o failure. An agreeable
crowd was present, the gentlemen mana.
gers mustered in pretty full force, will!
streaming roscttes, aud everybody seemed
well pleased. At any rate, Jacchcri de-
serves great credit for having fought every
obstacle and redeemed his promise to the
public as far rs in his power. lie Intends
giving grand bali next season in its tul(
tide, and though it is looking far ahead, as
Artemus Ward would say, "Wc'll keep u
skinned optic on the forthcoming ball."
The season may be said to be now ap-
preaching its close rapidly, and think after
next week there will be but few besides
health-scekcrs in the mountains. The
Messrs. Peylon intend having accommoda-
ton for guests during the entire winter.
They will continue TO improve the grounds
and buildings, in expectation Of very full
season next year.
Mr.. Caldwell, at Dry Creek, though
having met with but poor encouragement
this summer, will also prepare for next
season. His place is one of the best kept
in the mountains, and for the visitor seek
ing repoSe and quiet, together with Tho
benefits of the sulphur water, one Of the

While living in the town of Fredericks-

he was VIGOROUSLY a bitter opponent Of
granting amy privileges to the negroes. On
one occasion the Baptist church in Fredc

DR.. William +. Broaddus) offered to sell
their old house of worship-worth five
thousand dollars-to the colored people
for one thousand dollars. Hunnicutt BIT
terly denounced the Church in his paper,
saying that the negroes would steal the
means OF paying for the house from their
masters, and that, besides, they were inca
paole OF receiving religious instruction.
The men whom Hunnicutt now denounces
for denying the negro his rights raised the
thousand dollars necessary to pay for the
church, and the pastor of the white church
gave them every assistance in his power
