[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.” £h* (Times av^Smimd = COLIJM]BUs7 GEORGIA.

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.” v Louisiana; E. R.

RECALL OF SANTA ANNA. Captain Fillette, of the schooner Amphitrite, which arrived last evening, from Havana, on 13th inst., reports that three Mexican Commissioners ar 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 duce him to return to place himself at the head of affairs. These Commissioners are deputed by the revolu tionary party, which by our last accounts was uni versally successful, every state but three being un dertheir control. When we last heard fjorn Santa Anna, a few weeks since, by way of Panama, he was stiil at Carthagena. The Panama papers, however, men tioned'a report that hejwas about to embark from Car thagena, contemplating a return to his rative land, to avail himself of the general dissatisfaction with Arista’s administration. It is probable that the ex ile removed to Jamaica to be in closer and more re*~ ular communication with his friends, and as Vt-” 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.

[From N. Y. Commercial.] 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.
