March 2,1861. 41 tf.
man and dreaming (as some single men
do) of double bliss yet destined to arrive
I went to a concert at the Music Hall of
Boston. Music is poetically and proverbial
ly ‘the food of love,’ and in niy sentimen
tal state 1 consumed a good deal of it, not
that I bad any object in view. Aline
was abstract love; 1 cultivated it, I in
creased by stock, so flint I might Lave a
good deal of the tender passion on band
whenever I saw an eligible opportunity of
investing it. Well, to return to the con
cert, it was crowded to excess, and the
rush on leaving to reach cabs and carri
ages was very great. I wore on that mem
orable night a blue coat with brass but
tons, and Mattered myself there were worse
looking men in the room. I tell you can
didly I admired myself, and next to my
sell, the other pa it}' 1 was most struck
with was a tine girl with dark eyes and
black hair, who sat with some young
friends a few forms distant. I hoped she
noticed me and my bine coat with brass
buttons. I looked at her often enough
to attract her attention to both; and be
ing. as my friends would say, in rather a
spoon ri/ state, worked myself in a tower
ing passion—of lore. But how was I to
come at the object of my admiration, fori
was a diffident as devoted, ‘as shy as 1
was vain,’ as an over-candid friend once
said. Hail Columbia, which concluded the
concert, surprised me as unprepared as on
my first glance to improve the occasion,
ami the company were shoaling out while
I stood mutely gaping after the object ol
my love at first sight. She and her party-
eddied for a while by the inner door of
the concert room, and were then drawn
out into the retiring current and lost to
sight.
I followed quicly after, lest I should
lose forever all opportunity of identifyin
my idol; but alas !—the lights were few
and so far between, that ‘no glimpse of
my star could I get.’ I pushed and el
bowed fiercely thiough the crowd, with
view of getting to the outer door before
my fair one’s party had emerged, and thn
gaining once more a sight of mv sweeting
‘Hang it!’I muttered, impatiently, as
I felt a tug at iny coat tail, and was in
stantly conscious of one of my hind but
tons having hitched to some lady’s dress ;
my progress was suddenly arrested. ‘How
provoking,’ said I, as £ was brought to a
stand, for I could not push on without
losing a button or tearing a dress ; ‘how
provoking the modern fashion, a lady now
has as many hoops and tentacles about
her apparel as a sea anemone.’ It was
with some irritation that I stopped to un
do the button, but my r hurry made the task
more difficult, and instead of undoin
only- bungled and more twisted the loop
around the button
‘Please to let me try-,’ said the lady
herself, as I bungled over the business
she ungloved her hand, it was a sweet
white hand ; so I looked at her face. Stars
and garters! but it was a fair one, black
hair and dark eyes I was in pursuit of. As
she stooped over the. entangled button, a
slight blush tinted her cheek. Ob. it was
delicious. I hoped she never would undo
the loop, and indeed she would not, for her
fingers were twitching nervously', and my
heart was beating audibly ; I tried to help
her; our fingers met.
‘Please to make way there,* slianted
gruff voice behind. We were blocking
uj» tLo pnBBrtgc; was there ever sticb an
unlucky spot for so lucky an entangle
ment ?
‘You hinder the people from going out,
Annie,’ exclaimed one of her companions
with some asperity ; ‘plague upon the tire
some loop, break it ;’ and suiting the ac
tion to the word, the speaker leaned for
ward, caught the sleeve of her beautiful
friend’s dress in one hand, and my coat
tail in the other, and giving a quick and
decided tug, severed us.
The crowd bore on, and %ve were sepa
rated ; not, however, before I gave my
‘star’ a look which I intended to speak
volumes. I thought she did not seem un
conscious of my meaning—our eyes met I
knew, and this was the only’ consolation
left me, for immediately afterward I lost
bet and her party to view in the darkness
outside.
That night I scarcely closed my’ eyes,
thinking of inv ‘bright particular star,’
and what means I should employ to find
her out. 1 knew little of the town,
which was a large one, and to expect to
know the name of my fair one by- mere
description was hopeless. There doubt
less must he a great many with dark eyes
within ‘bills of mortality’ as elsewhere.
My love fit grew more and more violent
in the course of the day-, but tired out at
length with my search, I returned to the
hotel, and took ont my dress coat from
my portmanteau to feed my Uame even
with the contemplation of the inanimate
button that had detained the ‘black-eyed
divinity'’ so long. It was with no little
delight I now discovered what did not be
fore catch my eye—a fragment of the silk
loop of her dress still adhered to the but
ton twisted ronnd the shank. 1 pressed it
to my lips ; it was lilac in color—and I
stooped to gently disentangle it from the
brass as though it were a tress of my loved
one’s hair, when something clinked in the
skirt pocket. I supposed I had left some
money there, for in my perturbation and
excitement I omitted to search the coat on
taking it off the night before. 1 thrnst
my hand into the pocket. Gracious me !
What did I behold, what did I take out. ?
—a gold chain and bracelet ?
You could have brained ine with my la
dy’s fan. I saw at a glance how matters
stood ; in the excitement and Hurry of un
doing the loop from my button, the lady
had undone the clasp of her own bracelet,
which had not unnaturally fell into the
coat skirt with which she was engaged,
and, doubtless, on missing it, instead of
regarding me as romantic, she put me down
as one of the swell mob, who had pur
posely entangled myself in her dress to
rot her of her jewelry.
Here was an anti-heroic position to find
one’s self—when I wished to be consider
ed the most devoted of knights, to be re
membered only as the most expert of
pickpockets. Was ever an honest lover
in such a plight \ and to make it worse, I
could not see how I was to escape from
this inevitable dilemma. 1 must go down
to the grave remembered only' in the dear
one’s mind as the nefarious purloiner of
her bracelet. To find her out was impos
sible ; hut a bright idea struck me as my
eyes lighted a newspaper lying on the
coffee-room table. I sat down and wrote
an advertisement in the following words :
“If thelady whose dregs got entau'led in a gen
tleman's coat bntton in leaving the concert last
Wednesday, Will call or send to the Tremont Ho
tel, she will hear something to her advantage ”
There, I thought, as I gave the adver
tisement to the boy, and five shillings to
pay for the insertion in The Traveller—
there, if that will not give me a cine to
escape from a very unpleasant dilemma,
and at the same time to know who my en
chantress is, the fates most indeed be very
unpropitions
#2
impatiently, the appearance of the
newspaper next morning. It was brought
to iny room damp from the press, and I
then read in all the glory of large type,
mv interesting announcement—but, my
stars ! with what an advertisement was it
followed in the very- same column. 1
only wonder that my hair did not stand
on end, as I read as follows :
REWARD—LOST OR STOLEN, ON
the night of the Concert, at the Hall, a
GOLD CHAIN BRACELET. It is thought to
have been taken trom the lady’s arm by a pick
pocket of gentlemanly appearance, who wore a
blue coat with brass buttons, and kept near the
lady on her leaving the hall. Anyone giving
sticb information as will lead to the recovery of
the bracelet, or the capture of the thi-f. (if it was
stolen.) will receive the above reward on apply
ing at No. 7 Chambers Place.
Here was a pretty plight—to be adver
tised in the public papers as a pickpocket,
when my oniv crime was like Othello’s—
that of
“Loving not wisely—bnt too well.”
My determination, however, was quick
ly adopted. I went up stairs, put on the
very identical coat so accurately described,
and taking the paper in iny hand, pro
ceeded to No. 7 Chambers’ Place.
I knocked at the door, and asked the
servant who answered, the name of the
family. Having heard it, I said,‘Is Miss
Raymond inf’
‘Yes, Sir,’ replied the servant woman,
‘who shall 1 say wants her?’
•Tell her,’ I replied, ‘that the pickpock
et, with a gentlemanly' address, and blue
coat with brass buttons, who stole her
bracelet, is here, and wishes to return it to
her.’
The woman stared at me as though I
were mad, but on repeating my request to
her, she went and delivered my message.
Soon there come out not my fair one
With all that's best of dark and bright,
Meeting in aspect and eye ;
but a stalwart brother.
‘That,’ 1 said, handing him the brace
let, ‘is M iss Raymond’s property'; and
though, as yon perceive, I wear the blue
coat with brass buttons and am flattered
to think manners are not ongentlemanly,
1 am hound in candor to say’ I am no
pickpocket.’
‘Then, sir, you shall have the reward,’
said the brother, taking out his purse.
‘No,’ I replied, ‘for strange as it may
appear, though I am no pickpocket, I stole
the lady’s bracelet.’
The man looked puzzled ; but when I
told the truth, and pointed to the adver
tisement in the same paper, as a pooof
that I did not want the property, he laugh
ed heartily' at the whole story, and at hi
sister’s description of the gentlemanly
pickpocket.
“Well,’ he said, ‘yon had better walk
in and have tea with us, aud my sister
will be able to say whether she can speak
as to your identity, after which it will be
time enough to canvass the propriety of
sending for a constable.’
You may rest assured I accepted the
invitation. Need I go further with the
story'. The lady (to use the words of tliead-
vertisement) captured the pickpocket.—
The bachelor’s button no longer adorns
my r blue coat, and I have now framed and
glazed over the fire-place the advertise
ment in which I am publicly described by
my’ own wife as a ‘pickpocket with a gen
tlemanly address.’ When I charge her
with the libel she always does what she
lias this moment done—par damages for
the slauder in any amount of kisses, de
claring though not a pickpocket, I was a
thief and stole her heart and pocketed her
bracelet.

CAMP, Norfolk. May Gth, 1861.
Dear Prof.—Your Everlasting, Ever-
ready. Excelsior Glue, is working wonders
with onr boys here. Let ine tell you a
plain, unvarnished tale. AVc left Mill
edgeville the last Friday in April. It was
a day long to be remembered. When 1
went to tell my’ gal good-bye, I could’nt
get away from her, to save my life. I
stuck to her like I had growed there. But
when 1 looked up to the mantel piece and
saw a bottle of your glue upon it, all was
easily explained. I made the nigger gal
toss it out in the yard. I then got as far
as the steps, stuck again—it was no go;
and, sir, it was not nutil the bottle and
contents were tossed over the fence, that I
could get my feet from the steps of that
house. I expected to make a speech at
the Depot. I commenced, “Ladies and
Gentlemen,” but that was all I could say.
My tongue stuck in my throat, and the
words stuck worse. It was no go again.
The mystery was explained when, a short
time afterwards, my file leader took out a
bottle with some whiskey in it, and offet-
ed me a drink. Then was the my'Stery
explained plain enough. The glue had
been used up a month, bnt the bottle had
'nt lost its power. We are trying it here
on Bill, (yon know Hill how he lies) to see
if he can be made to stick to the troth. If
he does, you will get a bucket full of cer
tificates from hero. Gratefully, dee.,.

this is to inform y T ou that the application
of your blessed Glue to my darling Wil
liam Henry Augustus, has kept him by
my side until the “wee short hours ayant
the twal,” every evening for a week. How
delightful, dear Professor. My beau catch
ers which I found so much trophic to keep
in order with soap, are now permanently
arranged by one application of your En
chanting Glue. Neither the avocations of
the day, nor the friction of the pillow,
the least disarranges them. 1 have been
told that the virtues of your Glue are such
as to make the proudest and gayest dam
sel adhere to her old bonnet. Now, I am
so fully convinced of its potent powers,
that 1 shall not make the experiment. If
it will only stick the colors of my rongt*
saucer imperisbably upon my cheeks, I
shall never cease to herald to the world,
the unapproachable, unequalled virtues of
your most wonderful preparation.

ARRIVAL OF THE HON ALEXANDER H
STEPHENS—HIS ELOQUENT SPEECH.
Mr. Stephens arrived in the 12 o’clock
train on Tuesday night, and was enthusi
astically received by a large crowd, who
had assembled at the depot in anticipation
of his arrival Before the cars had ceased
to move, it was known all through the
crowd that he was on board, and, amid vo
ciferous calls and cheers, he appeared on
the platform of the ca* - *, and addressed
the assembled audience as follows:
My Fellow-Citizens}—I think the conn-
try may be considered safe, since our in
terest in its welfare has brought you out
at this hour of the night. I have just re
turned from a mission to old Virginia. It
will be gratifying to you, I know, to state
that she is not only ont of the Union, but
site is a member of the Southern Confed
eracy, and has sent delegates to onr Con
gress, now assembled. North Carolina
will have her delegates with us, also, in a
few days. Her Legislature meets to-mor
row, and I doubt not she will he out of the
Union by Saturday night. The fires
which first kindled the old .Mecklenburg De
claration of Independence arc again burn
ing throughout all her domain. From ail
that we have learned in the last few davs,
Tennessee will soon pnt herself on the side
of the South, and be a new star in ourshi
ning galaxy'. The news is also good from
Kentucky, though 1 have nothing official
from there. A few of her public inen are
trying to put the brakes down on the peo
ple: bnt they seem unwilling to submit
any longer. From Missouri the news is
most cheering, and Arkansas will soon be
with us
But the best of all is, that Maryland—
gallant little Maryland—right under the
guns of Lincoln, and the threats of Blair
to make it a free State, if the blood of the
last white man had to he shed in accom
plishing it—has resolved to a man, to stand
by the South! She will be arrayed against
Abolitionism, and cling to the South; and
if she has not delegates with us now, she is
in open defiance of Lincoln and his gov
ernment, and will soon he with us, even
by revolution. The cause of Baltimore is
the cause of ns aU, from the Atlantic to
the Rio Grande. Her hands must be held
up, and triumph must he assured to her.
• Yon have probably seen it stated that
overtures of peace had been made by Lord
Lyons, and perhaps by other parties. I
tell you it is not true, and is only intend
ed to deceive you. It is also said that the
Lincoln Government has done so. This
may be true; but if it is, it is all for treach
ery, as they gave traitorous assurances to
our Commissioners at Washington. For
weeks they were kept there under the
most positive assurances of a pacific policy
and intentions towards us—all with the
basest motives that cau actuate a treach
erous heart. If peace propositions are
made by them now, I conjure you not to
trust them fora single moment—they only
intend to deceive and betray—to lull your
energies and suspicions, till they secure
some cowardly advantage.
Our enemies say that they only want to
protect the public property; and yet I
have it from unquestioned authority, that
they have mined all the public buildings
in Washington—the Capitol and all the
other Departments—for the purpose of de
stroying them. They have called out 7(5.-
000 men, they say to protect the public
property now in their possession, and to
retake and protect that which they’ have
been forced to give up; yet, wherever they
are now, they have prepared to destroy
the property, and have destroyed, Or at
tempted to destroy, all that we have com
pelled them to relinquish, because of their
intentions to use it for the purpose of sub
jugating us. Sumter was mined to be
blown up on leaving it. Much of the prop
erty was burned up at Harper’s berry, in
hastily vacating that place; and an at
tempt was made to burn up not only all
the public property, on leaving Gosport
S &TV Yard, bu^tne whole city of Nor
folk. This is one of the most remarkable
instances on record, where Providence was
on our side. Plans were laid to burn up
the Nary Yard and the whole city. The
incendiary fires were lighted; and, if their
intentions had succeeded, such a conflag
ration has never been witnessed on this
continent, and would have been sec >nd
only to the burning of Moscow; but, just
at this critical moment, before the ravages
had extended, the wind turned! The
winds of Heavens turned and stayed the
spread of the devouring element. Ti e
same wind that kind Heaven sent to keep
off the fleet at Charleston till Sumter was
reduced, came to the relief of Norfolk at
the critical moment. Providence was sig
nally on our side. They attempted to
blow up the Dock, the most expensive one
on the continent, but there was a break in
the train they had laid, and it failed. 1 hey
attempted to burn down the old Pennsyl
vania, Germantown, and the Merrimac.
They set the match, while they endeavor
ed to get out of the way of their intended
destruction; but the vessels sunk before
the fuse caught—another remarkable in
stance of the interposition of Providence
on our behalf, and the strongest evidences
of our rectitude. We were right at first—
are right now, and shall keep ourselves
right to the cud.
What is to take place before the end, I
know not. A threatening war is upon us,
made by those who have no regard for
rig-lit? We fight for our homes, onr fathers
and mothers, our wives, brothers, sisters,
sons and daughters, and neighbors! They
fur money! The hirelings and mercena
ries of the North are hand to hand against
you.
As I told you when I addressed you a
few days ago, Lincoln may bring his sev
enty-five thousand soldiers against us, hut
seven times seventy-five thousand men
can never conquer ns. We have now Ms
ryland und Virginia, and all the herder
States with ns, heart and hand, to defend
us to the death. We can call out a million
of people, it need be; and when they are
all cut down, we can call out another, and
still another, until the last man of the
South finds a bloody grave, rather than
submit to their foul dictation. But a tri
umphant victory and independence, with
ait unparalleled career of glory', prosperity
and progress, awaits us in the future. God
is on our side, aud who shall be against us?
None but His Omnipotent hand can defeat
us in this struggle.
A general opinion prevails that Wash
ington City is soon to be attacked. On
this subject 1 cau only say, our object is
peace. We wish no aggressions on any
one’s rights, and will make none. But if
Maryland secedes, the District of Colum
bia will fall to her by reversionary right—
the same as Sumter to South Catolina—
Pnlaski to Georgia, and Pickens to Ala
bama. When we have the right, we will
demand the surrender of Washington, just
as we did in the other cases, and will en
force our demands at every hazard, and at
whatever cost. And here let me say that
our policy and couduct from the first has
been right, and shall be to the last. 1 glo
ry in this consciousness of our rectitude.
It may be that “whom the gods would
destroy, they first make mad.” But tor
Lincoln's wicked and foolish war procla
mation, the border States—some of tLcm
at least—would still have lingered in the
hope that the administration aud its de
signs were not so basely treacherous, as
that document has shown them to be.
Tennessee and other States would have
lingered for some time. Now, all the
slave States are casting in their lots with
us, and linking their destinies with ours.
We might affoid to thank Lincoln a little,
for showing his hand. It tnay be that
soon the Confederate flag with fifteen stars
will be hoisted upou the dome of the an
cient Capitol. If so, God’s will be done
is my prayer. Let ns do nothing that is
wrong. Let us commit our cause into His
hand—perform our whole duty, aud trust
iu Him tor the crowning results.
I have many things I would like to say
to yon, but my strength will not permit,
even if it were necessary for your encour
agement—hut it is not. I find that you
are fully up to the music, that you tho
roughly’ comprehend our condition, and
are resolved to do your whole duty. I
find our people every' where are alive to
their interests and their duty in this cri
sis.—Such a degree of popular enthusiasm
was never before seen in this country. I
find my fellow-citizens all along the Rail
road line eager to bear the news and to
speed our glorious cause with their servi
ces. This is the fifth speech which 1 have
made since I left home this evening at six
o’clock. In my town j’esterday a meet
ing was held, a company was organized,
and their services tendered to our govern
ment. A flag was made in tw r o hours by
our patriotic ladies and presented to the
company, and 82,200 was raised to equip
the company and take care of the needy
families of soldiers who may gooff to fight
for our country.
My friends! forget not the soldier! Send
him contributions to make him comforta
ble w hile he is in the service. Take care
of his family while he is absent Employ
your hands and your substance in doing
works of charity in this day of yonr coun
try’s trial. If any should fall in the bat
tle, remember the orphan and the widow,
and take care of them. God will bless
you in such noble performances of a pat
riotic duty.
My fellow'-citizens, I must close these
remarks. I am gratified to meet you to
night. I am gratified that Georgia, and
all the South is a unit. I rejoice to be
able to tell you the welcome news that
Virginia is a unit. Nearly’ every single
member of her Convention will sign her
Ordinance of Secession. And now with
my best wishes, I bid you good night.
His speech was rapturously applauded
throughout; and as he retired, three cheers
W’ere given with a will.
In a few moments, in response to urgent
solicitations, he again came on the plat
form and said:
The news from Washington is very in
teresting. It has been stated in the news
papers—first, that the Virginia troops had
occupied Arlington Heights, just across
the Potomac from the President’s House;
and again, that Lincoln’s troops had occu
pied that point. .My information is, that
both these statements are incorrect Lin
coln, h'-wever, has occupied Georgetown
Heights! He has from fifteen to twenty.’
thousand soldiers stationed in and about
Washington. Troops are quartered in the
Capitol, who are defacing its walls and or-
nanieuts with grease and filth, like a set
of vandal hordes. The new Senate Cham
ber has been converted into a kitchen and
quarters-—cooking and sleeping apparatus
having actually been erected and placed
in that elegant apartment. The Patent
Office is converted into soldiers’ barracks
and is ruined with their filth. The Post-
oflice Department is made a storehouse for
flour and bacon. All the departments are
appropriated to base uses, and despoiled of
their beauty by those treacherous destruc
tive enemies of our country. Their filthy’
spoliations of the public buildings and
woiks of art at the Capitol, and their pre
parations to destroy them, are strong evi
dence to my tnind that they do not iuteifd
to hold or defend the place; but to aban
don it after having despoiled and laid it
in ruins. Let them destroy it—savage
like—if they will. We will rebuild it. VV e
will make the structures more glorious.
Phtenix like, new and more substantial
structures will rise from its ashes. Plant
ed anew, under the auspices of onr supe
rior institutions, it will live and flourish
throughout all ages.
