cousin. now Col. William Proctor Smith
Lieut.. Merritt. in a manly, straightfor-
ward fashion, wrote to Judge Bowlin,
asking the hand of his daughter in mar
riage Pretty Virginia was at once or
dered back to school and commanded new

stern father considered his sixteen-year-
old daughter too young 10 think Of mar
riage. Moreover the gulf was already
widening between the North and the
South. and the proud old Virginian could
not bear the thought that his child should
favor a Northern soldier. No communi-
cation was permitted between the lovers.
Virginia was carefully imprisoned in the
academy, where no missiye could reach
her. She afterward became the wife of
