Terence was that very moment pnzzling his
brain to account for Lilly’* absence. lie saw her
leave the room: witnessed her evident agitation—
for.which unobserved by her there wns not a look
ornction which escaped him. He loved her with
a deep and true affection ; bat, restrained by doubt
and retiring modesty, wild horses could not have
torn the 6ecret from bis breast.
Bat how Lilly resigns herself to the guidance
of Mag. And how did then aett
I'll tell yon.
Bounding into the large room, where the com
pany were in the height of their eujoymi-nt. with
their faces beaming withjoy—ouerealf the other
well simulated—Lilly’s glance fell npou Terence.
It was to him as though the lightning lmd flashed
before his eyes. Having marked her sorrow, as
she departed, he was not prepared for this ex
treme change. What did it mean 7 With t, heavy
heart he tnmed nwny. -Lilly saw the change in
his countenance, hut to her it seemed to be anger
nothing mose. AbJ unskilful physiognomist.
Now tbe indispensable games of the evefiihg
have commenced, and Mag’s plot begins to devel
op itself.
First came a group busy pouring melted lead
through a key into a basin of water. Several had
essayed, and the curious formations consequent-
upon tbe immersion of the boili'ug lend had receiv
ed allsorts of designations, when Mag told Lilly
to try. She did so. The lump was examined.—
Mae. claping her hands, cried out: -
Oh! lucky Lilly—twin hearts, as I’m alive, join
ed to each other, and n church steeple over them
liotb. You'll be married afore tbe year’s out: see
if you don’t."
Of course tbe mass resembled anythin- in the
world the describer chose to assert. Suffice it to
sav that this was received as gospel—for Lilly was
a favorite.
Mag then cried out carelessly:
••Here, Terrence, what do you stand, mum-
chance, there for: why don’t you try your luck?”
Where’s the use, Mag. darling! It’sr ceffiu,
or something of the kind. I’ll he getting."
Never mind, take an offer at it.”
Well, here'goes,” said Terence.
Well, to be sure.” cried Mng, as she lifted the
lend from the water, “that’s curious enough: here’s

very alphabet.”
Lilly’s heart sank, fathoms deep: lint, schooled
by Mag. she kept n brave face. But poor Ter-
ence, he literally blazed all over, like a fur
nace. ,
‘A wedding and an L.” sagely remarked Mag.
•‘Who can it be?”
Nobody could guess. Terence was sure he
hadn’t the least idea—tbe lying varlet. Well, that

But the great game ofthe night was the placing
of nuts on the grate, to see who amongst the va
rious sweethearts present would drove most con
stant, each being represented by ’n nut: the one
which remained longest without bouncing from
Gm. Qaiimna’s format.
A Hr.no.—The Natchez Courier, iu recording
the marriage of Heury Nichols, a colored man be
longing to General John A. Quitman, to one of bid
master’s female servants, a few days ago,says:
“Heury Nichols, by the name and atyle of‘Har
ry.’has been the faithful and confiding body-ser
vant of the General for eighteen years. Through
exultation aud depression, victory aud defeat, sun
shine and storm, Harry has ever been present,
and faithful to execute the mandate of his master.
He has mudo the tour of the United States and the
Canadas, und wheu the iufapt Republic of Texas
was struggling for a place smoug tho stars nud
stripes, he accompanied his master, who was then.
Captain Quitman, through these perilous scenes,
and while walking over the battle greund of Sun
Jacinto, looking very sad at the sight of the uumer-.
ous dead, his master asked him what ho was
thinking about. Ho replied that he wns thinking
what lonls these yellow men were for fighting
white folks. But it was reserved for Harry to il
lustrate the amials of his race at the stormiug of
Monterey, for it vvill.be recollected that General
Quitman had tbe charge of the brave Mississip-
plans and Tennesseans, aud was in the hottest aud
thickest of the fight, having several horses shot
from under him, the places of which were imme
diately supplied by Harry,, although be .bad to
make bis way to his muster through grape and.
canister. But to.'croivn the enchantment of tho
scene, when the gallant William O. Butler fell
wounded. Ilarry immediately rushed to bis res
cue aud carried him olfthe field. While convey
ing the General from tho field, he inquired alter
his master. General,Butler told him ho feared
be would never see him alive, as he was hi the
must dangerous position whet: he saw him last.’’
Harry replied, with that deep seated feeling ofthe
faithful servaut, ‘ Don’t you believe that, General,,
muster was not bnru to be killed*iy them mulatto
rascals.” When Gen. Quitman wns ordered to the
conquering column of Scoti, he carried Harry with,
him. who was side by side with him at the bom-
buidmcnt aud storming of Chepultcpec on the 13th
nud 14th, mid the deadly conflict of the Garita de
Helen, mid. finally, his trinmphaut entry into the
city and palaces of tbe Montezuma*. Harry waa
the first Auglo-African in the Halls.. He is known

the aid of some responsible names, have shed a

if we could get at tbe truth ot the matter, but that

Then followed the indispensable patriotic songs,

"Tbe Slashiu’ Blade,” "Simmy O’Brieu.” “Erin

euergy by every voice. While tbe men are thns
engaged, and tbe female portion of tbe compnuy
are preparing tbe material for the approaching
games, let us see how Mag and Lilly ure getting
along. Iu order to do that, yon must step into
the little apartment occupied by the sisters.
Softly ! don’t run Ito a noise: there they ore !—
Now isn’t that n picture ? Lilly is nestled in the
arms of her sister; her beautiful bright golden hair
fallen in a perfect flood upon her fair shoulders;
their hands are clasped one in the other, aud they
are both in tears; one from her first nud sharpest
grief, and tbe other, from sacred sympathy; yet
is she relieved, her love is spoken, and the intense
oppression of the secret load in part removed.—
Mar. blessings of her true tact nnd feeling, has
soothed her with words of comfort and of hope:
nnd those mingled tears, watering the evergreen
plant of their sisterly affection, knit the still more
closely to each other’s heart.
Now Msg sttlrts joyously np, and clapping her
bauds, exclaims: “Lilly darling. I have it! n shade

It will serve as a warning to wives, teruagautouea

it.

night in particular, while imbibing tbe beverage,
