A Scrap from Aunt Patty’s Scrap Bag.
THE PURPLE SATIN DRESS.
[CONCLUDED-]
By Caroline Lee Hentz.
“ I can’t tell .you,” continued Aunt Patty, j
“how bewildered I felt, looking at that company,
dressed up so fine and gay, knowing too, all
the while, that she, who seemed the gayest and
was the fairest, was sad at heart for all her |
smiles, I was then young, darling, and had i
foolish thoughts like other girls, though 1 tried j
to shut them out. I sometimes thought it must !
be mighty pleasant to be attended to by the |
young men, and that young girls, who were !
praised and ilattered for their beauty, must be !
happier than such poor, crippled, misshapen be
ings as myself. But this night, 1 found out j
that one might be pretty, prized and sought I
after, and yet if the right one did not come to
praise and seek after, one might be perfectly
miserable, as it were. And I prayed the Lord,
in the silence of my little corner, that my
thoughts might not be permitted to wander into
forbidden regions, and I blessed him, for making
me, even as l was, secure from the temptations of
vanity and pride.
The partner of Grace, was a line young man, i
just as handsome as Captain Lynnwre, but 1 i
could see plain enough, that though sue laughed j
and talked with him, she was not thinking of
him, but of the one that was dancing with her !
sister Neely, and yet for all that, she made be- !
lieve that she did not care one cent for him,
and when it was her time to turn him in the j
dance, she hardly touched his hand, and looked j
right another way. When Grace stood at the
head of the dance, it was a kind of fancy dance, j
that 1 never saw before, (for at the quiltings, that j
i told you about, they danced nothing but reels.) j
Mrs. Delville, thinking maybe, 1 looked lonely, j
came and took a seat by me.
“Patty,” says she, “I am afraid that you will
he tired sitting here by yourself. You and 1 j
aie lookers on in Venice.’’
1 didn’t know what she meant by that, but 1 j
knew it must be something pleasant, and I smil
ed and said, I was glad that I took pleasure in
looking at beautiful objects, and that a pret
tier sight I never had a chance of seeing.
“Mrs. Delville,” says l, clearing my throat
that felt wondrous husky, “do you think Cap
tain Lynrnore and Miss Neely are going to get
married ?”
“1 don’t know,” says she, “they would make
a splendid looking couple. Grace is my favorite,
but I don’t think she cures for him.’’
Just at tins moment, as I was looking at Grace,
who stood under the blaze of the chandelier,
with her back to a lamp, burning on the mantel
piece, it seemed that she was wrapped in living
flame’ Her veil, which fluttered from her head,
was blown by the wind into the blaze of the
lamp, and she never knew it. Before I could
find breath to scream, Captain Lynrnore darted
forward from the foot of the dance, and throw
ing his arms right round her, tore off - the burn
ing veil, and crushed the flames of her dress,
with his hands. I never heard such shrieks as
filled the room, and her sisters ran to and fro,
ringing their hands, too much frightened to do
anything. Grace looked up in the Captain’s
face, and such a smile I never saw before. You
remember, Estelle, how you made me look out
of the window the other night, to see how the
moon looked, shining on the water. Just so
sweet was the smile of that pale, beautiful face.
Why, what is the matter, child ? What makes
you cry ?
“I don’t know, Aunt Patty, I am so interested;
was she burned? was she scarred? 1 am so
glad Captain Lynrnore put out the flames.”
“So was I,” cried Aunt Patty, “1 really
couldn’t be sorry for the accident, that made
her smile so sweetly, but the next moment, her
eyes closed, her face turned as white as a !
corpse, and she fell like a dead person against
his breast. He looked about him, like a dis
tracted person, and taking her up, as if she were
a child, hurried ofF into the next room and laid
heron a sofa. Then ha dropped down on his
knees before her, and talked as if he was beside
himself. Mrs. Delville could scarcely get him
out of the room, so as to unloosen Grace’s dress,
for she knew she had only fainted.
“No, no, no,” says she, pushing him away
by the shoulder, “she is not dead, let me get to
her. But good heavens, Captain Lynrnore, j
look at your hands, they are bleeding and raw;
oh dear, what shall Ido ? Who will attend to
Captain'Lynmore’s hands ?”
Now, 1 had seen my mother put cotton on
hands, because she said, it kept the air out, and
I thought if I wrapped up Captain Lynmore’s
hands in it, the best way I could, it would be
better than letting them bleed and suffer, as I
knew they did. So wtiile Mrs. Delville was
busy with Grace, I followed the Captain and made
hold to offer my services. He seemed as grate
ful as could be, and as gentle as a lamb, for
all, lie must have been in a world of pain.
“Patty,” says he, (it is strange how every body
called me Patty,) “you are very kind, but oh ! be
kinder still, and inquire ho \v she is now. Tell
me if she has recovered, tell me if she lives, I
cannot bear this suspense.”
I went and opened the door where she was,
and the first thing I saw, was her beautiful eyes,
looking right at me, as she lay on the sofa, with
her sister and Mrs Delville close by her. The
purple satin dress lay all scorched and tattered
on the floor, with its white ermine trimming
soiled and blackened. What a pity ! spoiled
just for a frolic.
Grace held out her hand, and I went up to her
and asked her, how she felt, and that Captain
Lynrnore, couldn’t be easy, till he knew. She
blushed up like a summer rose, and said she was
better, much better.
“Please, tell him so, Patty,” said she, giving
j my hand a soft loving pressure, “and tell him too,
j I have no words to thank him, but oh! I feel so
grateful,” here she let go my hand and laid her
own on her heart, which seemed to flutter like a
bird.
Neely was standing close by the sofa, and I
happened to be looking at her, and I never saw
any body’s countenance change so. It turned
so dark and all the color faded away on her
lips and cheeks. All her beauty appeared to
vanish, and as she fixed her eyes steadfastly or:
Grace, there was something in them, that I do
say, made roe tremble all over. All at once,
she said out,
“Sister, did you know s that your hair was all
burnt off behind?”
Grace raised her hand to her head, where,
sure enough, her beautiful dark hair was all
scorched and frizzled.
“It is indeed so, but,” she added, sitting up
and leaning anxiously forward; “surely Captain
Lynrnore must be suffering for all this. How
; selfish lam not to think of it sooner- Mrs. Del
! ville, tell me, if it is not so.”
! “His hands are badly burned,” replied Mrs.
I Delville, “but Patty has bandaged them nicely
; with cotton, and I trust they will soon be healed.
II have sent for a Physician, however, fearing
| that you too, might be seriously injured.”
“I am not burned,” said she, the tears gushing
| from her eyes ; “but it is so sad to think f have
made others suffer. Your costly dress too, is all
| ruined. How sorrv I am.”
“Never mind the dress,” says Mrs. Delville
; kindly, “I do not consider it of any consequence,
It performed its mission long ago.”
She lifted it up as she spoke, and a piece of
it fell off"just at my feet. It looked like a shin
ing purple feather fluttering down. 1 [licked it
| up and put it in my pocket, and this is the very
; scrap. I cut off the burntjedges and it don’t
; look as if fire had ever been near it. Ido won
! der what she did with the rest of it.”
“I wonder what became of Captain Lvnmore
and Grace, Aunt Patty. lam afraid of Neely’s
dark looks; I don’t think I like Captain Lyn
more, Why didn’t he dance with Grace, when
he liked her so much, and it would have made
her so happy
“1 don’t know, child, lie thought she didn’t
care about him, and Neely flattered him and
hung upon his words, as if she was feeding on
manna. 1 found out too, that she made him
think Grace was engaged to be married, which
was a sin and a shame, considering there
wasn’t a word of truth in it. Now, i don’t con
ceive how a person ”
Here Estelle made ail impatient gesture, fear-
| ing Aunt Patty was about to indulge in a train
j of moral reflections, which she was in the habit
i of doing more and more.
i “Well, Aunt Patty,” says she, laying her hands
I across her lap and looking earnestly in her face.
“I see how it is,” cried Aunt Patty, ‘patting her
favorite’s golden head. “I will try not to be tedi
ous—but you must remember that I am old and
tho thoughts of the old must follow a beaten
track. There is no use in telling you that Cap
tain Lynrnore and Grace loved each other—for
you know that already, and perhaps you know
by this time, that Neely was envious of her, and
wanted to many him herself. She stood in the
way of their happiness, as if by keeping them
j apart, she could bring him nearer to herself.”
“One evening just as the sun went down,
Grace drew me with her down to the bottom of
the garden, where there was a nice seat under
a chestnut tree, and there wo sat down together.
1 saw she looked troubled and pale. You can’t
think how pretty she looked with her short hair,
kinking up at the ends.”
“Patty,” says she, twisting thechesnnt leaves
into little queer shapes^—“l .never shall lie happy
though he loves me better than life. Neely will
not let me be happy. If l marry him, she will
be miserable. No, I must give him up: 1 should
fiie under such withering looks as she casts upon
ine-”
“Now, I don’t know how the idea came into
my head, but it seemed to me, that I was moved
to say something for her good, that I had never
thought of before. I couldn’t bear to see such a
sweet, pretty young creature sacrificing herself
so.”
“You have a right to do as you please with
yourself,” says i, “but I don’t think you ought to
sacrifice him. He saved your life and sets all
the world by you. He don’t love your sister and
you can’t make him love her. So if you give
him up, you will make three miserable people,
instead of one. I don’t think the Lord will be
pleased with such doings.”
“Oh Patty, I did not look upon it in this light
before. It would indeed ho an ungrateful re
turn for all he has done for me. Surely, surely
l have no right, as you say, to make him
wretched.’’
She had hardly done speaking when Captain
Lynrnore himself came walking up, with his left
hand in a sling, which only made him look more
interesting, lie sat down close to Grace, and
began to play with the leaves she held in her
hand. ! thought I was not wanted, and stole
away so softly, they never knew it. They
never come in till the moon rose, and turned
every thing into silver all round them. 1 knew
by their looks that all was settled between them,
and after a while, he came up to me, and told
me in alow voice, that he was the happiest man
in the world, and that he owed it all to me. 1
saw Neely leave the room, a few minutes after,
with that same dark, strange countenance. Well
they married before the end of the summer, and
travelled way off into a foreign land. They sent
me the beautifulest silk dress, you ever did see,
and a gold ring besides. 1 have never seen
them since, but I heard Neely was an old maid,
with all her beauty. Oh ! how time flies, Mrs.
Delville is dead, strangers live there now. The
old chestnut tree is fallen to the ground, and
the garden walks, 1 suppose, all overgrown
with grass. Sure enough, darling, we have no
continuing city here. But praise the Lord, we
have a house not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens.”
Repudiation in Europe. —The Queen of Portu
gal has recently issued a decree virtually repudia
ting the financial obligations of her Government.—
By this decree all the five per cent, and four per
cent, stock of that kingdom is converted at a blow,
without compensation, into three per cents. That
a few new States in a Republican Confederacy
should dishonor their obligations has furnished a
fruitful theme for vituperative and indiscrimination
abuse against this country, as if a natural result of
republican institutions. We have no excuses for
the dishonor that attaches to these States ; but, at
the same time, are curious to see what excuses for
regal repudiation will be found by those so prompt
to find in it an argument against free institutions.
This blow will fall heavily upon the English stock
holders, who hold no less ihan fifty millions of dol
lars in these repudiated stocks, or more than half
of the public debt of Portugal. —Boston Allas.
Election of Postmasters by the People.—
The Democrats of Zanesville, Ohio, held an elec
tion on Saturday last for a Postmaster, to be re
commended to Gen. Pierce for appointment, which
resulted in the success of John B. Roberts over six
competitors. The democrats of Steubenville, Ohio,
held a similar election the same day, when Thomas
Brashear led the poll.
Mortality in Congress.— Several members of
this Congress—three Senators and four Represen
tatives, and also one head of a department—have
died since the commencement of the first session.
Six were from Eastern States. Whitcomb, Web
ster, Upham, Rantoul, Thompson, Fowler, and An
drews, are of the number. Vermont never before
lost a Senator in Congress who died at the Capital.
Evils of Smoking. —A leading medical practi
tioner at Brighton, England, has lately given a list
of sixteen cases of paralysis, produced by smoking,
which came under his own knowledge, within the
last six months.
A hotel is to be built at Cape May, which will
have thirteen hundred apartments, aud is designed
to accommodate two thousand five hundred guests.
Two of the parlors will be each two hundred feet
long and eighty in width. The dining room will
be four hundred feet long by fifty-two wide, ani
will accommodate two thousand persons.

A PEEP AHEAD.
CHAPTER 1.
Belle Snooks sauntered into a reading room.
“Give me the New Era. waiter,” said she,
throwing herself on a settee.
While absorbed in the contents of the paper,
three horsemen rode up to the door, and tossing
their bridles to a servant, entered the room—l
humbly ask their pardon, for, on closer inspec
tion, 1 perceive them to be women, and one of
them a very pretty one, too They were dressed
in close fitting frocks—the skirts of which de
scended to the knee—pantaloons, and and small
green caps, with feathers of the same color.
Not observing the first comer, they seated them
selves around a table, selected suclt papers as
suited them, and called for cigars and three
weak brandy-smashes.
For a few moments they read in silence. “1
declare!” cried the pretty one, suddenly, “if
here isn’t another puff for Belle Snooks!” “I’m
glad of it,” said the one nearest her, “her speech
last night was magnificent.”
“Pooh!” answered Semiramis Higgins, (the
prettiest,) with a toss of her head, “her argu
ments wern’t worth a straw; every position she
took was weak.”
“Oh, you're jealous!” replied Belle’s champion.
“Mother says she’s the most influential wo
man in the party, and we talk of running her
for President next campaign. What a face she’s
got! What a voice!”
“What a voice, indeed !” said the third wo-
man, (very plain,) who had not spoken before.
“Why it sounded last night like a consumptive
grimalkin’s!”
“Well, you’ll see!” answered tiie Snoksite,
maliciously. “.She’s handsome, and the gen
tlemen will vote for her!” Semiramis curled
her lip disdainfully, and her companion's faee
reddened with anger. *
“You had better say nothing of her private
life,” commenced Semiramis, after a moment’s
silence. “It used to be thought quite essential
lor a candidate to have some pretensions to
principle; see how she treated Robert Deve
reut!”
“Good Heavens! hasn’t a woman a right to
marry whom she pleases?”
“She has no right to be dishonorable ; and I
say that Isabel Snooks has not one particle of
honor, if, after paying such marked attention
to Deverent, she leaves him now for Moses
siy”
Tho three started with different exclamations,
lor before the speaker, her beautiful face flush
ing with anger,stood Belle Snooks!
“Jefferson Park, at 9 o’clock, to-night!” she
said, extending her card, and, with a look of
defiance, she swept from the room.
“Darning needles at ninety paces!” laughed
Deverent, behind a screen. “Pop-guns and catnip
tea for two!”
CHATTER 11.
Ureal Catastrophe!—-Narrow Escape!—List
of the Killed, Wounded, and Missing!
The public at large will lie ‘astounded, dis
mayed and generally discumboberated, to learn
that an unamicable meeting occurred between
the distinguished Isabella Snooks, of the Pro
gressive Woman and Men’s D n Your Eyes
Party, and Semiramis Higgins, of the World
Upsetting Club. It was a scene of the most
heart-rending nature, and clearly proved the
cruel, unpatriotic, and generally detestable spirit
of all parties but our own. It was in the black
ness of the night; tho gas blazed like—like
gas, and a few small dogs rail about tiie streets!
They met! Tho word was given!! Miss
Higgins was taken with the tooth-ache, and
Alias Snooks’ pistol, not having any barrel,
wouldn’t go off!!! It would have done the
heart of every true American good, to see the
queenly and magnificent air with which Miss
Snooks left the field of battle:
“Like a sweeping comet, scornful in its wrath!”
Programme.—Women and Men’s Morning
Tattler.
CHAPTER 111.
Time —Morning.
Place— Mrs, Minerva Lyeurgia Solona
Snooks’ breakfast room.
Scene —Mrs. M. L. S. Snooks—her hat on
sitting in one chair with her feet on the back of
another—World Upsetting Messenger in her
hand, from which she reads with terrific frowns
—Belle Snooks similarly equipped, answering a
note from the African Club—Mrs. Minerva Ly
curgia Solona Snooks’ husband in a low rock
ing chair, swaying the baby to and fro, and
Johnny Snooks pouring out some coffee for his
sister Cleopatra.
Mrs. Minerva Lyeurgia Solona Snooks, was
a “strong minded American woman,” and glori
ed in the title. She delivered her opinions with
a defiant inflexibility, which was perfectly mag
nificent. Her displeasure was terrific, and her
frown horrifying. She considered as a pointed
and unpardonable insult, all such paltry flattery
as “my love,” and “my dear,” by which men
had so long weakened and vitiated the minds of
silly woman. She scorned sweet-meats, rocking
chairs, cake and green tea, as enervating and
effeminate. She had a nervous disgust for any
allusion to that peculiar manner, in which nature
has decided that tho young of the genus Homo,
shall satisfy their hunger! In short, search the
whole world over, and you would find one
with whom to compare her, except, Mrs. Miner
va Lvcurgia Solona Snooks.
She had been twice returned to the Legisla
ture, twice in Congress, and was still at fish
hooks and carving-knives vvith'both Houses, be
cause a woman in this enlightened age, was
still obliged on marrying to lake her husband’s
name. “Belle,” said Mrs. Lvcurgia Solona
Snooks emphatically, “I want you to give this
paper Jits’, its a venomous little thing and dont
deserve the least mercy.”
“I’ll allude to it after this trip,” said Belle con
tinuing her writing.
“But Belle,” said her mother’s husband de
preeatingly, “It strikes me—that is—it seems
that you ought to let—that is—you had heller (lo
cale that matter about Deverent.”
“I have decided, l shant’ marry him.”
“But Belle,” exclaimed Mrs. M. L. S. Snooks’
husband, with the slightest tone in the world, of
remonstrance, “You have paid him such un
mistakable attentions, the man will certainly
expect a proposal.” Belle tossed her head.
“The fact is,” said Mrs. M. L. S. Snooks su
perbly, as she glanced condescendingly upon
her husband. “Deverent’s got ttvo much qiirit,
Belle is so much in public life, that she wants a
husband with a quiet and retiring disposition.”
“Yes,” said Belle, “I confess 1 like Deverent
better titan Sly, but I’ve studied him attentively,
and am afraid his talent and ambition, might
give me some trouble. Sly, on the contrary is
peculiarly domestic, and he is modest, forgiving,
and meak. So you see why I have preferred him.”
She concluded with an incontrovertable tone.
M s. Snooks husband heard and sighed. “Now
in ready for the stump!” cried Belle despatch-
P her letters, and her maternal progenitor start
,n forward, upsetting a chair, and casting the
e d oxious messenger impatiently on the floor,
obn
lhey wore about leaving the room, when
Mrs. M. L. S. Snooks’ husband ventured to sug
gest in a tremulously apologetic tone, “My detr
—excuse me! Minerva Lyeurgia, 1 believe—
that is—l think from divers indications, that our
baby feels tho need of its natural nourishment—
I mean—she’s hungry /”
“Oh! don t be a. fool /” cried Mrs. Snooks i )
a tone verging on the snappish, as she threw
on her husband a glance of withering and un
mitigated contempt. Flinging herself into the
tallest, most masculine looking chair she could
find, and disdaining all such feminine appendages
as footstools, she prepraed to administer the re
quisite sustenance. The tovengeful glance with
which she almost annihilated her smaller half,
said as plain as words could say, “I’ll pay you for
not taking this task too !”
“And 1 think,” stammered the fraction, just as
Mrs. Minerva was making her exit, “That is-r-
Fm afraid the chiids bowels are out of order!”
Mrs- M. L. S. Snooks discharged at him a
broadside of grape shot glances, and slamming
the door, she sprang upon her horse and gallop
ed ofi. The fraction filled a tea spoon with par
agoric, and with a sigh, proceeded to hold the
baby’s nose while he administered the dose.
CHAPTER IV.
Hurrah for Press and Ivodfish ! Hurrah! Hur
rah !! Hurrah!!!” shouted the Kings and Queens
of the republic, as Belle descended from the
Platform. Did it ever occur to you, friends,
how fond we Americans are of racking our
blood vessels in the service of a candidate ? As
to the wearing out of shoe leather, that is past
computation. Indeed I’ve heard it discussed by
a board of English physicians (very solemn and
concieted were they, or they wouldn’t have been
Englishmen) whether or not tho American soul
was situated in tiie heel. “And” said a wise M.
D. on the affirmative, “Ifyou don’t believe me
just attend one of their political meetings.”
Belle was a “big gun” at electioneering.
“ Egad! ’ said one jockey, knocking ttie elbow
ol another, “and ain’t she got a calf as is a ca'f?
I vow site’s some /”
“line form!” said a gentleman peering at her
through his eye-glass, as she jostled aside the
crowd, “flue ankle, v-e-r-v!”
Belle reached the hotel, and threw herself on
a sofa in her mothers room.
Mrs. Minerva Lyeurgia Solona Snooks set by
a table, her knees crossed independantly, as with
a highly disdainful expression she read a letter.
Occasionally elevating her nose, and drawin fr
do vi u the corners of her mouth, site would make
portions of the epistle audible.
“1 am disconsolate! 1 have tried every thing
to no purpose. Ella will make the almond shells
into saucers, to put on a little box, she calls her
table, while Dick, tloats the very same shells in
water, calling them “ real boats,” aud uses El
las box for a fort to shoot apple seeds from.
Dick tides horse back on the tongues, and Ella
pins her apron around them fora baby. “What
are you going to do Eiia, when you get so large
as mama f’ 1 asked the other day. “Hem papa’s
handkerchiefs, and take care of mama whea she’s
sick, and learn what you told me I must—to “do
to others, as l would that they should do to me.”
“And you, Dick ?”
“Fin going to be a soldier!” lie cried exulting
ly, marching off with a clothes brush over ills
shoulder,
“H ell, Ella, who loves you most, papa or ma
ma ! “Papa wouldn’t lot tho bears catch me,
but you rock me to sleep, don’t you mama ?”
“I say, mama,” cried Dick, “when l am a
man, I’m going to build a big gold house, and
have it lull of gold beds, and gold stoves, and lots
of candy ail the time. And I'm going to have
yon and Ella live in it.
“And what will papa do ?”
“Olt! he can build his own houses!”
“Mama, said Elia, who had been in a brown
study for three whole seconds, “why don’t yon
have such a big black beard as papa does ? And
mama,” she added tiller another pause, “I’m so
glad you don t sing what papa calls bass. I
never could go to sleep if you did.”
“ 1 lie fact is, dear Airs. Snooks, I’m not sure
but tnere is a little natural difference between
masculine and feminine natures. I dress mv
children alike, teach them the same things, and
yet— “Weak minded women!” sneered Mrs.
Snooks contemptuously, “ I’d educate them ?”
CHAPTER V.
It was a lovely day in September, that Isabel
■’ nooks and Moses Sly paused before the altar of
the beautiful church of St. Nancy. Before
diem stood tho Kev. Jane Smith, their long
tried and beloved Pastor.
She gazed ou .Moses with a gentle smile of
encouragement.” Modestly casting down his eyes,
with a crimson cheek, he awaited the irrevocable
words which should make him through life
.mothers.
Minerva Lyeurgia, iu all the majesty of a stiff
shirt collar aud black brocade vest, stood near
to give him awav. At one side, in the remote
corner of a pew, sat .Mrs. Snooks’ husband hold
tug ti bottle with which he endeavored to quiet
the baby. A solemn pause fell over them like a
veil.
“Moses, will you take this woman to be
your wedded wife, to love, honor, cherish and
obey, so long as you both shall live ?”
As the timid hare, when site hears the bay of
her cruel enemy ; as the meek eyed dove when she
feels the fowlers murderous glance; as a bowl
of jelly when struck by a violent hand, so Moses
trembled! Modest blushes overspread his
brow, as with a tremulous voice he said, “ I will!”
Then sustaining his faultering steps by the
arm of his smiling bride, they turned to leave
tiie church.
‘A ivo la Humbug!” I cried with stentorian
voice.
“Why Ti,m the Woman’s Right Convention
meets this morning at nine o’clock; come!
Breakfast is ready !”
