A Scrap from Aunt Patty’s Scrap Bag.
THE PURPLE SATIN DRESS.
[CONCLUDED.]
By Caroline Lee Hentz.
“I can’t tell yon,” continued Aunt Patty,
“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 darling, and had
foolish thoughts like other girls, though [ tried
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 flattered for their beauty, must be
happier than such poor, crippled, misshapen be
ings as myself. But this night, I found out
that one might be pretty, prized and sought
after, and yet if the right one did not come to
praise and seek after, one might
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 I was, secure from the temptations of
vanity and pride.
The partner of Grace, was a fine young man,
just as handsome as Captain Lynmore, but 1
could see plain enough, that though she laughed
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
dance, she hardly touched his hand, and looked
right another way. When Grace stood at the
head of the dance, it was a kind of fancy dance,
that I never saw before, (for at the quiltings, that
I told you about, they danced nothing but reels.)
Mrs. Delville, thinking maybe, I looked lonely,
came and took a seat by me.
“Patty,” says she, “I am afraid that you will
be tired sitting here by yourself. You and I
aie lookers on in Venice.’’
I didn’t know what she meant by that, but I
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 I, clearing my throat
that felt wondrous husky, “do you think Cap
tain Lynmore and Miss Neely are going to get
married ?”
“I don’t know,” says she, “they would make
a splendid looking couple. Grace is my favorite,
but I don’t think she cares for him.’’
Just at this 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 1 could
find breath to scream, Captain Lynmore 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 7, lam so interested;
was she burned ? was she scarred ? I am so
glad Captain Lynmore 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
her on a sofa. Then he 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 Lynmore,
look at your hands, they are bleeding and raw;
oh dear, what shall I do? Who will attend to
CaptainlLynmore’s hands?”
Now, I 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
hauds in it, the best way I could, it would be
better than letting them bleed and suffer, as I
knew they did. So while Mrs. Delville was
busy with Grace, I followed the Captain and made
bold to offer my services. He seemed as grate
ful as could be, and as gentle as a lamb, for
all, he 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 how 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
Lynmore, 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
my hand a soft loving pressure, “and tell him too,
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 1
happened to be looking at her, and I never saw
any body’s countenance change so. It turned
so dark and all the color laded away on hei
lips and cheeks. All her beauty appeared to
vanish, and as she fixed her eyes steadfastly on
Grace, there was something in them, that I do
say, made me tremble all over. All at once,
she said out, ..
“Sister, did you knowjthat your hair was all
burnt off behind?”
Grace raised her hand to her head, where,
sure enough, her beautiful dark hair was a
scorched and frizzled.
“It is indeed so, but,” she added, sitting up
and leaning anxiously forward; “surely Captain
Lynmore must be suffering for all this. How
selfish lam not to think of it sooner- Mis. Del
ville, tell me, if it is not so.”
“His hands are badly burned, replied Mrs.
Delville, “but Patty has bandaged them nicely
with cotton, and I trust they will soon be healed.
I have sent for a Physician, 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 I have
made others suffer. Your costly dress too, is all
ruined. How sorry 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. I picked it
up and put it in my pocket, and this is the very
scrap. I cut off the 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 Lynmore
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 ?’’
“I don’t know, child. He thought she didn’t
care about him, and Neely flattered him and
hung upon his words, as if she was feeding on
manna. I 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 an impatient gesture, fear
ing Aunt Patty was about to indulge in a train
of moral reflections, which she was in the habit
of doing more and more.
“Well, Aunt Patty,” says she, layingher hands
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
the thoughts of the old must follow a beaten
track. There is no use in telling you that Cap
tain Lynmore 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 marry him herself. She stood in the
way of their happiness, as if by keeping them
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 we 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 the chesnut leaves
into little queer shapes—“l never shall be happy
though he loves me better than life. Neely will
not let me be happy. If I marry him, she will
be miserable. No, I must give him up: I should
die under such withering looks as she casts upon
me.”
“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 be an ungrateful re
turn for all he has done for me. Surely, surely
I have no right, as you say, to make him
wretched.’’
She had hardly done speaking when Captain
Lynmore himself came walking up, vith his left
hand iu a sling, which only made him look more
interesting. He sat down close to Grace, and
began to play with the leaves she held in her
hand. I 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. I 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. I
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. I 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, I 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.”

Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court commenced its session in this

There are forty cases on the Docket, and a large num
ber of Attornies in attendance. It will probably re
quire two weeks to dispose of the Docket- We expect
to report the head notes of the decisions as they are
made.
Objections to the Spirit Rappings.
The clergy of New York have taken this Bull by
the horns. The Rev. Professor Mattison, in a lecture
delivered at the Tabernacle, said, “the time was come
to examine this shrieking, shivering ghost of infidelity,”’to
seize upon this fire-ship and scuttle her, and send her
down to the regions where the “Age of Reason,”
and the “Book of Mormon,” sleep together. The
worthy Professor has evidently come to the desperate
resolve of the Prince of Denmark.
Be thou a spirit of health, or goblin damned,
Bring with the airs from heaven, or blasts from hell,
Be thy intents wicked or charitable,
Thou com’st in such a a questionable shape,
That I will speak to the.
And right plainly does the Reverend gentleman ex
press his opinions upon the merits of “Rapology,”—
Money, he said, was at the bottom of Ghostology ; and
the overthrow of the church, the great object of its pro
fessors.
Some of his objections are however curious and
amusing. He thinks it a great outrage, that one of
the spirits should assign old John Bunyan, the place of
a grog shop keeper in the other world ; and will not
countenance the revelation, that the ladies are to have
the privilege of selecting husbands without waiting to
be asked—that the Bloomer costume is to be the pre
vailing dress—and that the vulgar custom of eating and
drinking is to be done away with altogether.
We confess our inability to comprehend why old
John Bunyan should keeep a grog shop, if there is to
be no drinking. The old man had a bad time in this
world, tinkering and lying in prison together, and if the
spirit rappers report truly, he is still worse off in the
next ; to keep a grog shop, and have no customers is
certainly worse than tinkering, or even answering to
Bench warrants for preaching on the commons of Eng
land. Another objection of the Reverened speaker is,
that Napoleon and Wellington, are according to the
spiritual rappers quarreling over the battle of Waterloo,
and propose to have the fight over again when all the
broken arms, legs and heads are reunited after the gene
ral resurrection. This objection we think is not so
well founded, as they were both exceeding fond of hard
knocks while living, and would reasonably indulge in
the same sport in the next world if opportunity offers.
As spiritual rappers have appeared at Griffin, Geo.,
we hope this brief notice of the objections, which have
been made to their revelations will not be considered ir
relevant.
J. 31. H. Beale.
This gentleman, who lias for some time represented
the 14th Congressional District of Va,, lias declined an
other election. The Union says, he was “unobtrusive
in his pretensions.” So much so, that most people,
never heard of him before, though lie says he lias de
voted his “earnest, but humble efforts to keep within the
pale of the written Constitution, to sustain the Union of
our Fathers, and to claim that Virginia has a common
property in the Public lands. Sic transit gloria mundi.
Gerritt Smith.
A Correspondent of the Delta thus describes this
famous Abolitionist, who lias paid out more money, in
the furtherance of his philanthropic whims, than any
man of his day.
“Gerritt Smith made his appearance in the Hall to
day, in woolly-head corner. He is a large, jolly look
ing, red faced man, with nothing of the malice of his
notorious abolitionism visible in his eye, the cast of his
countenance or demeanor. He looks far more like a
“tuckyhoe” (Va.) planter, than like just what he is.”

RECALL OF SANTA ANNA.
Captain Fillette, of the schooner Amphitrite,
which arrived last evening, from Havana, on 13th

rived in that city, on the British mail steamer from
Vera Cruz, on the 9th, and left the next day for Ja
maica, to communicate with Santa Anna, and in

affairs.
These Commissioners are deputed by the revolu

dertheir control.

weeks since, by way of Panama, he was stiil at
Carthagena. The Panama papers, however, men

to avail himself of the general dissatisfaction with
Arista’s administration. It is probable that the ex

Cruz is in possession of his party, we may expect u
hear before many days of his landing there, and sip ‘
cessful entry into the capital.

The prosperity of many men is frequently attributed to
some lucky hit, or fortunate concurrence of circumstances.
This is a flattering view to those who fail but, is in nine
cases out often erroneous, for industry and perseverance are
the real causes of success. An instance of this fact is pre
sented in the career of Mr. Wm. H. Knoepfel, No. 99 Wil
liam street, who from a commencement as a clerk has been
able, by perseverance and untiring industry, to establish a
business and accumulate friends, customers, and capital.—
He is now in the foremost rank of those who started in the
pursuit of fortune with him. His present large store for the
sale of cloths, vestings, and trimmings will shortly be en
larged by the addition of’ the building adjoining, No. 101,
when his premises and business facilities will compare fa
vorable with any in the street. Being widely known as one
of the fail est dealers in nis line; he will doubtless soon reach
the goal for which we are all striving. Jan. 25, 1853.
