When in my twelfth year, / heard

have transported the ball with which it
was charged to the very margin OF that

ticularly for reason which will pres
emily be obvious.
Kemp was warm admirer of Miss
Graham and made proposals of MARI
age to her. The young lady was said
to have expressed her willingness To be
come his wife. Friends 'intertered and
broke off the marriage. Miss Graham
was afterwards married to Alr Bird,
an old bachelor, and about the wealth.

decency weuld allow, Kemp renewed
his matrimonial proposals, to his former

devised to his young vile the whole OF
his estate.

Bird he disposed of her property, and

General Jackson marched to thedeicnse

much in the memorable battle which
saved ''the booty and beauty OF New
Orleans from tho cruel hands of the

THEHEART's SHRINE.

What heart but bears a secret shrine,
Round which its best affections twine
Some treasured record of the past,
Hath Ger it reflection cast,
With just sufficient shade to show
Joy hath brief dwelling place below,
And just enough of light to prove
How cheering is the smile OF love
Oh, every human heart hath ties!
Time cannot sever as it flies !!
The JOYOUS laugh of ehildhoods day,
With sunny youth may pass away,
And youth itself fit swiftly past,
And many griefs their shadows cast
Upon the gems and flowers OF earth
That shed their gladness DER our path
The springing step, the actions wild,
That well became the playful child,
AS wears increase may, too, depart,
And colder grow the human heart;
Still memory keeps its secret shrine
Unchiled by years, untouched by Time,
Dear to us when our skies are fair,
When storms assail us still more dear
1t is not every cheerful brow
The hearts recess doth clearly show;
Not every lip that wears smile, .
Proves the hearts gladness by that vile
All. none but He who reads the heart,
And nicely scans each hidden part,
Can tell how often smiles are worn
TO hide the rankings OF the thorn
The sons of genius seldom find a
Communion sweet with human kind ;
Little they know of human love,
Though cnvy's shaft they often prove,
And coldly turn from crowds aside,
Or laugh to scorn the frowns OF pride,
Nature for them her store untolds,
And fills with happiness their souls
Their shrine is wreathed with every
flower
That blossoms for a sunny hour,
The song of birds, the hum OF bees,
The signing winds that sweep the seas
The shades of night Ger moor and tell,
The sunlight cleaning in the dell,
Find echo in the Poets heart,
And leave for earth but little part.
Oh every heart its records keep
Some visions that will never sleep;
All other flowers may fade away,
One memory never knows decay
Time deeper marks the impress there,
As drops of water stones will wear, B..
Remembrance of our earliest love
Will rise all other thoughts above.

III bet on
The next year in battle at Winches-
ter, the one in which General Lilly lost
his arm-that night the battle field be
ing in charge OF neither army--a num-
Der of ladies from the town came ont to
administer to the wants OF the wounded
and dying. Among these was Randolph
Ridgely, severely wounded, and these
Young ladies had no means of carrying
cway from the field the wounded, and
while the others went back to town TO
get some vehicle, this same young lady
staid there out in the dark night, admin
istcring to the wounded Contederates.
Ridgely afterwards got well.
In 1868, when going into Pennsylva-
nia and near Winchester, it became ne
cessary to dislodge the enemy from the
town, and they were marching around
the town so as TO get possession OF the
hills commanding it, when turning 4
curve in the road they came upon lit
tie girl 13 years of age on horseback
| with a large bandle of miscellaneous
goods tied up before her and her little
brother behind her. When she saw
them she was at first frightened, but on
discovering the gray color, she pulled
off her bonnet and hurrahed She had
been sent from her home by her parents
because the enemy were throwing shells
into their house, and not knowing OF
the approach of the Confederates, they
supposed the shells were thrown out OF
righteousness. You said the Gener-
al. ..have no idea of the effect OF that
little cirl on the soldiers, but her inilu-
encc was felt that evening when We
cap,ured between 5000 and 1000 pris-
oners. POO or 800 wagons and over 20
pieces of artillery
In 1864, in passing a ladys house
near Charleston,s she was standing at the
pate. and he said to her, "1ou must
have a very hard time with the enemy.
She smiled and said, "We do; but there
are green spots in the desert, when we
can occasionally administer to the wants
of our Confederate boys
At the time of the Avcrill raid mp the
Roanoke Valley, when General fl'2
Lee was after him, there were some
stragglers. Near -- there was gen,
tleman, his wife, and daughter, all OF
whom belonged to the Methodist
church, and very good people. Tins
girl was walking in the garden, which
was on the bank of river, very steep,
when, coming to it suddenly, she saw a
Yankee soldier coming up the bank.
Without stopping to consider, she
stopped down, picked up rock, and
said, oh you, hand me that musket.
He was so completely taken aback that
he gave up his musket, land was marched
O prisoner into the house. :
1t is no use referring to tho oath of
Uncle Tobey, which was wiped out with
tear, for the recording angel never
took the trouble to register that oath.
Many ladies who have lost brothers,
fathers, friends and sweethearts, can
enroll themselves in the name of their
dead friends, and thus keep alive the re-
cord of those brave men who fell in the
cause for the time will come when 1t
will be a much higher title to have de-
scended from those who wore the gray
and fought along with Lee and Jackson
and others, than to have descended from
those who came over with William the

Rcm,niscense by Ex-senator Foote.

In the days of my early boyhood a
duel occurred within some twenty-five
or thirty miles of the city of Washing
ton, which must have produced at the
time very deep impression upon pub
lie sentiment throughout Virginia; for
the deplorable result of this memorable
conflict of arms is said TO have been the
principal cause of the excellent anti-du-
cling act to be found in the statue-book
of this grave and dignifed common
wealth, which example of wise and
wholesome legislation is well known to
have been since very extensively imitat-
ed elsewhere. The affair to which ]
have just made special reference was
famous duel between Kemp and llooe,
of Prince William county. llooe was
a man of fine intcllects, of highly yrespect-
able attainments, and of great personal
popularity. He was, we believe, the
father of the late Bernard llooe, Esq,
formerly Mayor of Alexandria. l lwell
rccolect seeing him repeatedly at my
fathers house, and of hearing him spok-
en- of in terms of the warmest commen-
dation. He was relative of my own,
and was much loved and honored by a
large and influential family connection.
Bernard IIooe was jealous Federalist,
and had once or twice represented the
county of Prince William in the State
Legislature, in which body he was
great favorite. Mr.. Kemp was Dem
ocrat, and the quarrel between these
gentlemen was almost strictly political.
Kemp shot down his antagonist, who
died Immediately, leaving behind him
widow and many children; all of whom
were known to me familiarly. Many a
time have / participated in the repro
duction of this duel, as one Of band
of youthful dramalits persone, in the
parlor Of my own home, with certain OF
my equals in age, and in the absence of
ali grown persons; and never did | go
through this melancholy scene without
fresh emotions of distress ahd chagrin.
have seen the victor in this contest
more than once He was considerably
the Junior of Hooe, was also man of
fine presence, and bore the reputation
of being a warm hearted, brave, enter
prising, and intelligent young man. He
is described to me to have been depu-
ty sheriff in the county of Prince Will
lam for some years, and to have aequir
ed in that Office much popularity.
There was in this county at that time
a young lady of singular beauty and ac-
complishments, of the name of Graham.
Her education had been well attended
to, and all who knew her spoke of her
temper and manners in language of the
warmest commentator. She was the
daughter of DIR. George Graham, gen
tleman of rare accomplishments and
high reputation in the medical profes-
sion. lie had been educated at Edin-
burgh, being himself rative of Scot
land, and was reported TO be OF good
birth and affiliations in his native land.
This gentleman was the third husband
of my yenerated grandmother, and often
have sat in his lap in childhood and
been the. grateful recipient of his more
than fatherly attentions. After the de-
cease of my grandmother, DIR. Graham
married.a Hiss Hooe, sister to the Ber-
