Conducted by CAROLINE LEE HENTZ. [WRITTEN FOR THE TIMES ic SENTINEL.] 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. {To be Continued .)

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 pray God, will not be long, as I have about fifteen thousand dollars involved in that enterprise.” [ Western Recordrr. Later from the Alabama.—lt gives us plea sure to state, that the steamship Alabama re ceived no injury whatever during the late terri ble gale. She arrived at New York Friday night—all well. A letter to the agents here states, that she would have left New York on her regular day, (Saturday,) but for detentionin discharging her cargo. She was to sail Mon day afternoon at 3 o’clock lor this place, and will leave here on Saturday next as usual.— Sav. Paper. 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.
