[WRITTEN FOR THE TIMES fc SENTINEL.] 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. jNUMBER 5 [written for THE TIMES Jc sentinel.] 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!
