A Scrap from Aunt Patty’s Scrap Bag.
THE FURPLESATIK DRESS.
By Caroline Lee Hentz.
“Now, tell me, Aunt Patty, about the piece of
purple satin,” said Estelle, while she plied her
busy needle, in manufacturing a cap for her
aged relative. “You promised me, you know,
when you related the history of the pea-greeu
silk taffeta. It seems to me there must be some
thing very interesting connected with this. It
has such a rich, beautiful color, and is so thick
and gloss}’.”
“Let me look at it, child,” said Aunt Patty,
putting on her spectacles and stretching out her
hand, in which Estelle laid the shining morcean.
“I can always remember any thing better, when
I look at it. Yes, this is fine, and it belonged
to a fine lady—and she lived in a grand bouse,
the grandest in the whole town. When I was
a young girl, 1 used to stay week after week, in
that house, and the merry times they had there,
I could not begin to tell.”
“You, Aunt Patty ! How came you to be in
such a grand house, and with such fine folks ?”
“Why, you know we always kept the best of
company, and though we had no pomp or finery
ourselves, we had more chances than one to see
it in others. Mrs. Delville used to come to our
house and take a great deal of notice of me, and
call me her poor lame Patty, so kindly, it warm
ed my heart to hear her. I never expected any
one to take notice of me, and when they did, I felt
as you do, when the? sun shines out on a cloudy
day. Once Mrs. Delville sent for me, to make
her a long visit, because, she said, she was lone
ly and wanted some pleasant company, as if 1
could entertain such a fine lady as she* was,
“Well, I hadn’t been with her more than a
day or two, when there came three young ladies
from the city to see her, and three prettier crea
tures i never set eyes on. Their name was
M orrison. The oldest was Cornelia, but every
body called her Neely—and the second was
Margaret, and the third Grace. One looked
hardly older than the other, and it was hard to
tell which was the handsomest. They all look
ed like so many pictures, and I, who always
loved to look on beautiful things, never was tired
with gazing at them. I really believe, I’ve sat
for hours together, looking first at one and then
at the other, watching their eyes sparkle and
thinking ofthe stars twinkling way up in the
sky. Grace had a kind of innocent, childish
turn, that the others hadn’t, and she seemed to
take to me more than the rest. Mrs. Delville
invited all the young company in the neighbor
hood to meet them, but 1 always staid by my
self, in spite of all they could say and do. I
never complained that the Lord didn’t make me
as pretty as most people, and when at home and
among friends, I never thought of my looks.—
Provided, they treated me kindly, l was satisfied
and happy. But I never could bear to go
among strangers, and have them stare at me,
and ask who that homely, lame young person
was —and then to set myself by the side of those
beautiful creatures, all dressed in muslin and
laces, I never could do it.”
“You always tell me, Aunt Patty,” said Es
telle, raising her deep blue eyes suddenly to
Aunt Patty’s face, while a smile played upon her
lips—“that it was no matter how we look, if we
are only good and amiable—“handsome is, that
handsome does,” you say. According to that,
you must be beautiful, Aunt Patty.”
“That’s true, my darling, but young men al
ways will be looking after pretty faces, though
they are often sorry enough for it in the end.
There was one young man who used to come
every evening to Mrs. Delville’s, and the oftener
he came, the gladder they always were to see
him. He was an officer in the Army, and his
name was Captain Lynmore. I never went into
the parlor at night, but I could see the company
walking about the garden of a moonlight evening,
all in pairs, and the white dresses of the ladies
fluttered about among the green trees and flow
ers, looking like so many fairies. Captain Lyn
more was a tall, stately looking man; tall enough
to make my neck ache to reach up to him, so
as to see his face. The ladies praised him to the
skies, and seemed to think there was nobody in
the world like him. Mrs, Delville said she
would like of all things, to know which was his
favorite, but for her fife she couldn’t tell. She
believed for her part, that he was in love with
them all. I noticed that though Grace praised
him least of all, she always blushed when they
talked about him, and pretended not to listen.
Some times she made believe to find fault with
him, and said she didn’t see any thing in him to
take on about, but one could see that this was
all put on.
“They were always getting up some kind of
frolic or other, for Mrs. Delville was a merry
lady and never was so happy as when she saw
smiling faces around her. She had passed sev
eral yeai s in Europe and had brought home the
greatest quantity of finery you ever saw. She
was presented at Court, while she was there,
and there were four or five drosses hanging in
her wardrobe, that she wore, when she went to
the Palace of the King. There was a crimson
silk velvet, all trimmed with gold frogs and
golden fringe; and a green silk velvet with sil
ver frogs and silver fringe, and a beautiful pur
ple satin, trimmed all round with ermine as
white as the drifted snow.”
“Ah! I’m so glad you’ve come to the purple
satin. Please don’t lose sight of it again.”
“One night,” continued Aunt Patty, smooth
ing the scraps on Her right knoe, “Mrs. Delville
took her fine court dresses out of the wardrobe
and spreading them out on the bed, told the
girls she was going to get up a kind of little
masquerade, and they must put on her royal
robes for the occasion. Mr. Delville had a court
dress of black silk velvet trimmed with gold
lace, that Captain Lynmore was to wear, and
would you believe it, Mrs. Delville tried to make
me dress up and pretend to be somebody.—
But I told her, they ought to have somebody
to look on, and I promised to slide into a corner
ofthefparlor wherein the shade of the dark green
curtains, I could peep at what was going on.
I wish I could describe to you, the magnificent
figures the three girls made in their glittering
dresses, with the long trains sweeping behind
them. Grace wore the purple satin with the
ermine border, and it fitted her like a glove.—
Mrs. Delville made her put on some pearl orna
ments of hers too, but the prettiest ornament of
the whole was a white rose bud, she had twisted
carelessly in her shining dark hair. This was
all done for a frolic, you know, for there was
nobody invited but what was staying in the
house already. As I sat in my corner 1 could
see every thing that was going on, and I thought
I knew more than some who were in the midst
ofthe game.
“Capt. Lynmore looked like a Prince,and
though there were other gentlemen in the room,
the young girls had eyes for none but him, he
made the rest seem so insignificant. You know
some people have naturally a royal way with them,
and he was just such a one. Nelly, the eldest
sister, who wore the crimson velvet robe, with
something grand and shining on her head in
the shape of a half moon, walked as if she was
a King’s wife and he not good enough for her;
she kept the Captain Lynmore close to her the
greatest part of the evening, though I could
not help thinking that he would have liked to
talke to [somebody else. But she had a way
of fastening people to her, whether they wanted
to or not, so that it was very hard to get away
from her. Margaret did not seem to care about
any one in particular, but laughed and talked
with ail, looking in her beautiful green velvet,
like a pink bursting into bloom. Grace did not
look gay or lively like the rest, she was pale
and sometimes a sadness would steal over her
that she tried to shako off and could not. Once
in a while, her eyes, (and they were the softest,
brightest eyes that ever shone in a mortal head,)
would follow Captain Lynmore and her sister,
as they swept up and down the room, playing
state, with such a grace, and then she would
turn away with a sigh. I heard somebody say
to her “what a handsome couple your sister and
Captain Lynmore would make ! I don't wonder
they are in love with each other.’’ Grace drew
a quick short breath and came and sot down
by me.
“ Patty,” says she “I envy you, from the bot
tom of my heart, you dear, good creature.”
“What in tho world can you envy me for?”
says I, thinking maybe, that she was making
fun of me, because I was left to myself as it
were.
“Oh!” says she, laughing and blushing togeth
er, “I don’t believe you were ever in love, were
you ?”
“No,indeed,” saysl, quite scandalized,“l think
it a disgrace for a girl to fall in love, without
being asked. I would as soon cut off my right
hand.”
I wish you could have seen her, Estelle; when
1 said that, her cheeks turned the color of scarlet
and her eyes flashed up, like a fire light on the
wintry hearth.
Says she, “Patty, 1 hope you tio not mean any
reflection on me, by that remark.”
“1 don’t mean nothing wrong,” said I, “and I
never thought you would take it to yourself, I
am sure. lam sorry if I hurt your feelings.”
She looked at me right hard as I spoke and
her eyes softened till they looked like velvet.—
Laying her beautiful white hand on my arm,
she said;
“1 don’t believe you would intentionally
wound the feelings of any one. I Hid not mean
to speak so quickly. Come in Mrs. Delville’s
room with me, will you ( 1 see they are prepar
ing for it dance and 1 do not wish to join in it.”
With that she put her arm round me and sort
of drew me coaxingly out of the room. “There,
Patty,” says she, “sit down in that rocking chair
and tell me what you think of me.”
I looked up in astonishment at those words,
but when I saw her right opposite in her splen
did dress, with her veil of white gossamer lace
thrown back from her face, looking so fair and
beautiful, I could not help saying :
“I think you are the prettiest creature I ever
saw in my life, but you have no l ight to be proud
of it, for you and I both are as the Lord made
us.”
“Oh! Patty, you don’t say I’m pretty,” says
she, catching me round the neck and kissing
me, with her own sweet lips; “if it were not for
one person, I would not care how 1 looked.”
Then changing her voice she added:
“Do you think Captain Lynmore loves sister
Neely? Do you really think so?”
“1 don’t know enough about love,” says I, feel
ing ashamed, though 1 don’t know why I did, “to
know what its signs are, you know better than 1.”
“Oh !” says she, clasping her hands tight to
gether and lifting them up a little, “if I thought
it were really so, I should be wicked enough to
wish to die. Patty, pity me; 1 am the most
foolish, the most inconsistent being in the world,
and the most unhappy. Don’t think strange of
me, but it is such a comfort to have someone,
to whom l can open my heart, and you look so
good.”
Just at this moment, Mrs. Delville burst into
the room calling on Grace, to come immediate
ly and make up the dance, that they could not
do without her,
“Is sister Neely going to dance ?” asked she
quickly.
“Yes, she is standing up with Capt. Lynmore
of course,” says Mrs. Delville, significantly.
“ Yes, yes, let us haste to the dance,” says
Grace gaily, holding up her train and showing
her white satin skirt underneath. I didn’t know
what to make of her, she seemed so sad before,
and there brightened up so suddenly, but I follow
ed her in,and slid down in my little shaded corner.

Skcukity of Slave Property ix New
A'ork.—We notice that a movement has been
already made in the New York Legislature to
wards the restoration of the old law, repealed a
few years ago, which recognized and secured
slave property when brought there by the own
er, while intransitu through the State. Mr.
D. B. Taylor, of New York city, who takes the
initiative in this matter, the Albany Argus is of
opinion, will be sustained in the effort to revive
a law which, though eminently just, and in en
tire harmony the spirit, if not the ltter of
the Constitution, the fierce spirit of abolitionism
expunged from the statute book during tho Se
ward dynasty.
j NUMBER 4
Yankee Doolie.
Watson, in his “Occurrences of the war of Inde
pendence,” says—Tliis tune, so celebrated as a na
tional air of the revolution, lias an origin almost un
known to the mass of the people of tiie present day.
An aged and respectable lady, born in New England,
told nte she remembered it well, long before the
Revolution, under another name. It was then uni
versally called “Lady Fisher,” and was a favoiile
New England jig. It was then the practice with it,
as with “Yankee Doodle” now lo sing it, with va
rious impromptu verses—suclt as :
Lydia Locket lost her pocket,
Lydia Fisher found it—
Not a bit of money in it,
Only binding round it.
The British, preceding the war, when disposed
to ridicule the simplicity of Yankee manners and
hilarity, were accustomed to sing airs or songs set
to words, invented for the passing occasion, having
for their object to satyrize and sneer at the New
Englanders. This, as I believe, they called Yankee
Doodle, by way of reproach, and as a slur upon
their favorite, “Lydia Fisher.” It is remembered
that the English officers then among us, acting un
der civil and military appointments, often felt lord
ly over us colonists, and by countenancing such
slurs, they sometimes expressed their supercilious
ness. When the battles of Concord and Lexington
began the war, the English, when advancing in tri
umph, played along the road “God save the King,”
But when the Americans had made the retreat °so
disasttous to the invaders, these then struck up the
scouted Yankee Doodle, as if to say, “See what we
simple Jonathans can do!”
J roin that time the term ot intended derision was
assumed throughout all the American colonies, as
the national air ot the liberty, oven as the
Methodist—once reproachfully so called—assum
ed it as their acceptable appellation. Even the
name of “sons of liberty,” which was so popular-at
the outset, was a name adopted front the appella
tion given its in Parliament, by Col. Barre, in his
speech. Judge Martin, in the his oiy of North Car
olina, has late given another reason for tho origin of
“Yankee Doodle,” saying it was (brined at Albany,
in 1755,(by a British officer, then there, indulging his
pleasantry on tho homely array ofthe motley Ameri
cans, then assembling to join the expedition of Gen.
Johnson and Governor Shirerly. To ascertain the
truth in the premises, both his and my accounts
were published in the gazettes, to elicit, if possible,
further information, and the additional facts ascer
tained, seemed to corroborate ihe foregoing idea.—
Tho tune and quaint words, says a writer in lire
Columbian Gazette, at Washington, were known as
early as tho time of Cromwell, and were so applied
to him then, in a song called “Yankee Doodle,” as
ascertained front the collection he had seen of a
gentleman atCheltenham, in England, called “Musi
cal Anliquities of England,” to wit:
Yankee Doodle came to town,
Upon a little pony,
W ith a leather in bis hat,
Upon a maccaroni.
The term “feather,” &c., alluded to Cromwell’s
going to Oxford on a small horse, with his single
plume, fastened in a sort of knot called a “maccaroni.’
The idea that such an early origin may have existed
seems strengthened by the fact communicated by
an aged gentleman of Massachusetts, who well re
membered that, about the time the strife was en
gendeting at Boston, they sometimes conveyed
muskets to the country concealed in then loads of
manure, &c. Then came abroad verses, as if set
.forth from their military masters, saying:
Yankee Doodle came to town,
For to buy a firelock ;
We will tar arid feather him,
And so wo will John Hancock.
Practical Abolition.— Benjamin Walker,
Esq., of Jamaica, writing to his brother in Char
leston, >S. C., uses tlie subjoined language. lie is
an Englishman who lias resided in the Island for
many years, and after a personal investigation of
the Abolition operations of his own Government,
says: “ I hope and trust you will never be imbu
ed with anti-slavery doctrines: and if many could
witness the ruin of interest, botli moral and ma
terial, the misery of families, and the desolation
of all which I now see aroud me, occasioned by
the emancipation of the negroes, there would be
less agitation in your country on that much vexed
question- I hope the people of the South will
“hold their own'” Emancipation means confis
cation and misery to both races. Let people
come to Jamaica and Judge for themselves, and
witness the white race driven from thier hearth
and home by the destructive policy of the moth
er country. A Exodus of the white race has
already commenced, and I am preparing to join
in the stream, and abandon a worthless and
ruined country.”
South Carolina Conference.— This body as
sembled at Sumtcrville, on Wednesday, the olh
inst., and closed on Tuesday evening, the I gth inst.
Bishop Capers presided, greatly to the gratification
of the members, The session was very pleasant
and harmonious.
South Carolina maintains her proud position
among her sister Conferences with regard to her
missionary collections—amounting the past year to
Twenty-two Thousand Dollars. The membership
within the bounds of the Conference is, Whiles, 32,-
658 ; Colored, 40,560, showing an increase of
membership tho past Conference year of 265 whites,
and upwards of 3,000 colored members.
An important movement was made in relation to
the establishment of a Female College in this State,
the resolution adopted, being an invitation for pro
positions to establish such an institution in any cen
tral or suitable place in the State, Columbia, we
trust, will not be backward in this movement; she
lias the advantages of location, health, and means,
to recommend its location amongesl us.|Tiie fol Tow
ing members ofthe Conference have been appoin
ted a Committee on ihe subject; Rev,W. M.
Wightman, D. D., If. H. Durant, H. A. C. Walker,
C. iietts, and W. A. Gamewell.
The report of the Trustees of the Wofford Col
lege, in Spartanburg, states that the College build
ings are now in progress, and that the institution
will probably commence operations early in the en
suing year.— Carolinian.
Very Rich.— A correspondent at Burksvilic,Ky.,
says.
Mr. Editor; I think the following too good to be
lost; A staunch democrat in this neighborhood,
during the Mexican war, was called upon to pray at
a regular church meeting, upon which he perpetra
ted the usual form upon such occasions, with this
ai dition: “Oh, Lord, be with our army in Mexi
co; whether it be right or wrong, bless it. We of
the democratic party tire charged with making a war
for conquest; but we believe it to be a war of de
fence. But, oh. Lord, wo would not enter into ar
gument of the subject before you, but for further
particulars would refer you to the President’s Mes
sage ”
This was brought to mind by hearing the same
brother before an association a few days since ,make
the following speech;
“1 would urge upon you, brethren the taking of
the Western Recorder,” turning to the delegation
from a church in Tennessee—“and you, brethren,
ought to take it too, as the interests of the Chutoh
in Kentucky and Tennessee are very closely allied,
and will become much more so upon the completion
ofthe Danville and MeMinville Railroad, which, I

Louis Napoleon’s Marriage,iHis Mistresses, &c.
A letter dated Paris, Dec. 13, to the New
York Express, says:
You of course are aware, that if Louis Na
peleon marries, it is with solely political objects.
He wants a wife that she may be a mother. The
marriage j>f an emperor can be nothing but a
State affair. It is natural, therefore, that the ie
tainors ofthe court, here, the aids-de-camp, the
whole household, in fact, should allow themselves
to talk and jest very freely upon the subject,
and to speak of tho Princess Wasa in a tone
anything but respectful. I have heard of sun
dry epigrams at her expense, which are positive
ly brutal. Information of this has reached the
lady concerned. But this is not all. A French
doctor has been sent to Vienna charged with the
very delicate mission of discovering whether she
would breed. Os course he was to keep per
fectly dark upon the nature of his errand. He
penetrated into the intimacy of the lady, scanned
hor proportions, measured her length and
breadth with his eyes, made up his mind, and
finally reported against her. He gave in a ver
dict of “Tendency to consumption, and general
weakness in the chest and lungs.” This also
came to the ears of Lady Caroline, and her in
dignation and offended delicacy were very warm
ly expressed.
Thus far there is no doubt of the veracity of
the story. All thishaspositively occurred. The
conclusion of the matter is said to be a refusal
to proceed on the part of Louis Napoleon, and
a rupture on the part of the Princess, also. Add
to this, that she has been of late rather frighten
ed at the accounts of the licentiousness of her
bridegroom—she herself is very straight laced
—of the immorality of liis court, and the gene
ral laxity of morals that pervades the French
capital. The match is said to be certainly bro
ken off, and our Benedict is thought to be look
ing towards the sister of the King of Naples.—
He hankers after King Bomba for a brother-in
law. In the meantime he is paying desperate
court to a little Spanish Countess, who, with the
usual Castillian type of feature and c'omplexion,
possesses very blue eyes and fair hair. The
French go crazy over such combinations, and
Louis Napoleon is French by his mother’s side.
The Spanish lady is a glorious horsewoman,
and was in at the death ofthe wild boar, a month
ago, at Fontainebleau. She is to make one of
the party at Cunpieque this week. But she has
already signified to his majesty that he cannot
have her without marrying her. Ten millions
even would not do. lam afraid the rebrobate
will have to do without the Senora.
Whether Mrs. Howard is influential in pre
venting the Emperor’s marriage, I cannot say.
I only know that she remarked yesterday that
the Princess Wasa at’least, would not be his wife.
It is not long since the American papers exiled
Mrs. 11., and later still an English correspondent
narrated that she had been conveyed across the
frontier and that all the French representatives
in foreign countries had been instructed to de
liver her no passports for France. And yet she
was living then, as she is still now, in her simple
yet comfortable house, in the Rue de Cirque.—
She is probably the only woman to whom Louis
Napoleon was ever attached, and he is so still.
They both bestow constant attention upon the
education of their children, and she spends a
large portion of her money in acts of benevo
lence. She is as well known in the Hotel Dieu
as ever the Little Blue Cloak ; was and I under
stand that Louis Nspoleon’s largesses to the
poor are made at her persuasion. Her argu
ment to him is that it will render hhn popular,
hut her own motive is that it will do a great deal
of good. No one doubts that his purpose, in
giving alms, is interested, but after all, it heals
the sick and relieves the poor quite as much as
if dictated by the purest self-forgetfulness.
I wrote some six months since of certain pa
pers, in the possession of Jerome Bonaparte,
proving incontestably, the illegitimacy of Louis
Napoleon, and his Dutch paternity. You know
alredy what the corroborativo and contingent
evidence is, that Hortense had a lover before she
was married, and by him a son, the present
Count de Dorny ; that she had the famous Dutch
admiral for a lover, after she was married, and
that Louis Bonaparte and she lived apart for a
long period. Add to this the well known Neth
landish physiognomy. The papers in question,
constituting the direct evidence, I understand to
consist in letters from Hortense herself, in which
repeated allusions are made to her “surrepti
tious” son. Jerome is playing his cards well,
and will make the Emperor dance to any tune
he likes. It seems positive that lie threatened
him the other day, and he was imprudent
enough to boast of having made him turn pale.
( am astonished to find how many people have
learned of the existence of the Queen’s letters.
Every one knew the doubts thrown upon the
birth of his Majesty, hut few were aware upon
what evidences, if any, they rested.
