The display for this year will not com

For the Advertiser.
TRIUMPH OF TASTE, TALENT
AND PATRIOTISM.

MEssRs. EDIToRs,-Please give me
room in the refined and elevated old
Advertiser to briefly mention a very
pleasant evening spent at an entertain
ment given by the youngladies of Ridge
Spring, On the night of the 25 inst, for
the benefit of the Charleston Confeder-
ate Monument, which is to perpetuate
the memory of u Confederate soldiers,
who laid down thoir lives in defence Of
the Southern cause, which though dead,
yet speaketh. And we do not hazard
too much when we say that this enter
tainnent was a perfect triumph of iemi-
nine taste, talent and patriotism.
The doors were open at 8 p. NJ. and
the performance commenced ut half past
eight. I do not remember having aver
looked upon a more charming assem-
blage Of ladies, gentlemen, and Lovely
children, than were present on this occa-
sion. The stage was faultlessly arrang-
ed and exquisitely decorated with flow
ers, flags and pictures. All of the pieces
were most admirably rendered, and &C
companied by delightful music on the
piano and violin. I was not acquainted
with all the youcg ladies and gentlemen
who took part i in these admirable tableaux
and charades, and therefore of course !
cannot enter into personalities and details.
But there were some characters 30 truth
fully portrayed that l cannot refrain from
being personal in one or two instances.
The dramatic readings and recitations OF
Mrs. Lock wood were perfectly inimita-
BILE, bespeaking intellectual and histri
onic gifts of the highest order. And the
roles acted.by Mr.. +. as the Earl" and
Miss T as the "Gypsy Maid" were per
formed go completely and so naturally,
that n looking on, could hardly realize
that it was acting merely and not real
life. The part acted by Miss w. as the
house-girl, Mary, was so very natural
that I for a moment thought myself the
inmate of some we'll regulated farm
house. 1 imagine Mary would make
a splendid house-keeper!
One more word, to you, Messrs. Edi-
tors, aside. And that is this I feel that
my heart is left behind forever at Ridge
Spring M.
