A Virginia Supper Table.

THE supper-the grand triumph OF the

may read about it. if they cannot live like
these happy Tidew alter people do. There
were two suprers-a meat supper at II and
a feast of sweets at 1870. Imagine at the
first long table. with roast pig at the
head and saddle of fat mutton at The
foot, fanked by wild turkeys. wild goose,
wild duck. cartridges, and every variety
of fowl and game, ham, salads, &c. Bu'
the GROWING glory of the table was in the
centre--a huge block OF crystal Penobscot
ice about three feet square, resting upon
bed of evergreens bedecked with lemons.
Tn the centre of the crystal block grea'
o-gailon hole had been scooped out,
and that filled with raw oysters as big as
your hand, fat, plump, and luscious, fresh
from Horn Harbor, where the king oysters
grow, and too good for any kings mouth,

AT the second supper there was an ele
CANT feast of cakes, ices, fruits. jellies. con-
fections, and everything sweet and nice in
great profusion, and here the people lin
gered until near O'Clock, and then drove
home, talking all the way about the gooo
time they had had-and they are still talk

quently, and ministered alike to the wear
ers of the blue and the gray was Mrs.
Lemon, the wealthy widow of Union Of
fcer. In these visits Mrs. Lemon was
usually accompanied by her daughter
Alice, then little Miss of ten years. A
fast friendship sprung up between the
young Confederate and the little Union
girl, which continued some months, until
the former was exchanged and sent back
to his regiment. Seven years ago Mrs.
Lemon died, ard Miss Alice, through the
efforts of her Republican friends, secured
c.erkship in one of the departments here.
Her health gradually failed. and last Oc-
tober she resigned her position and went
West to reside with relatives. The an
nouncementsof her resignation was PRINT
ed in ore of the New Orleans papers, where
1t met the eye of Captain Dawson. now a
dignified bachelor of middle age and one
of the richest planters on the Lower Mis-
sissippi. Capt Dawson Immediately wrote
Miss Lemon, and asked her if she was his
little sweetheart of former years, aud if so
by what caprice of fortune she had been
thrown upon her own resources. Miss
Lemon answered the Captain, detailing
their financial losses at the time of the
Jay Cooke failure and the subsequent
death Of Der mother. Capt Dawson there
upon mailed the lady check for 81 900,
which he begged her to accept as slight
recompense for her mothers kindness to
him while prisoner OF war. Miss Lemon
returned the check, saying that under no
circumstances could she receive it. Capt.
Dawson then came North to see if he
could not personally prevail upon the lady
to accept his assistance. He went to In

days, out he remained month, and when
he returned last week be carried with him
