and all the other girlu were full of hap¬

the oue green spot of a shadow tinder
the giant elm tree. And yet, beneath

in her heart.
“I am to have a season at Saratoga,”
said Leila Vail, the beauty of tbe

ARLINGTON, GA., FRIDAY, APRIL i 5 , 1881.
Elsie, “but I think I would mther
have a girl is I not to choose Madame
Dncbenes says that boys are the more
intelligent and appreciative learners.’’
The next day came, with the flower-
bung hall, its bands of music, and
blue ribboned diplomas, and sweet
bustle of departure—and when tbegray
shadows of evening fell, Elsie Dale was
ou her way to Mount Sorel, in tho
SbawaDgrunta mountains.
She had never been out pf t-lie city
before, except iluriug the year she had
been at boarding school, at the expense
of the eccentric old aunt, who had late-
]v bethought herself to die. leaving
all her property to a sectarian “Home
for Old Ladies,”and thesublime crests
of the everlasting hills were os new as
they were delightful to her. Glens,
cascades, wild gorges with the black
green growth of vines and cedars, sue -
ceeded one another in bewildering ar-
ray—and the mountain stage was nctu-
ally at the door of old Mount Sorel be-
fore Elsie realized that she was more
than half way on her journey.
It was a .Sne old mansion, with a
central tower of blue s'one and two
long wings situated upon a level plat-
can on the bill-side with a wall of al¬
most perpendicular mountain at the
rear, and superb view extending to the
south.
An old coloreg roan, with wool as
white as snow, and a suit of black,
came to the door.
“Is Mrs. Sorel at home?” demanded
Miss Dale, with'what dignity she might
command.
“Yes, miss, do misses is at home,’’
briskly answered the table servitor.
“Tell her it is the music teacher,’’
said Elsie.
And the old man showed her into a
very pretty little apartment, hung with
antique ehitz, and sprinkled with trees
and butterflies in colors that would

A fire of some scented wood blazed

lying in.
“Goodness gracious me!’ ejaculated
the stout lady in black, ‘there’s some
mistake.’
Elsie rose up and dropped analarm-
ed courtesy.
“There is no mistake, ma’am, I
think,” said she.
“But you are a child!’ said Mrs.
Sorel.
“I am 18, ma’am" said Elsie.
“I wrote for Madame Duchchense 1
.
“Madam Dncbenes could not come,
said Elsie, feeling her heart throbs
begin to accelerate. “I am her fa¬
vorite pupil and she was convinced
that I could represent her. Didn’t
you get her letter?’
“I have received no letter,’ said
Mrs. Sorel, still viewing Elsie through
her eye-glasses, as if she was some
sort of an unaccountable rara avis.
Then ensued another embarrassing
silence which Elsie Dale felt must be
broken at all hazards.
“If you would be so good as to in¬
troduce me to my pupil, said she ‘I

! “Oh, certainly hiaterical said iauch, Mrs. “I Sorel. will with in

And opening a door which slid gen-

sturdy lined w ith books where by, the
soft light of a shaded lamp sat a dig-
nifled gentleman of thirty busy over
a heap of manuscript.
“My son the rector of the parish,’’
I said she, “Rudolph, allow me to in-
troduce you to Miss Dale who has
come from , New Jork T . , to , give
music lessons.”

bowed.
Elsie felt as if she could silide in-

“Rudolph has had every advantage

Sorel, “but madamc Duchenes has a

cing to instruct his choir-boys him-
f ■ self” ‘
Elsie colored like a rose.
| “I—I am very sorry.” said she;
“and so will Madame Duchenes be.
She thought, and I thought and 1
thought, too, that the pupil was a
child. I believe I a in pretty well
grounde din my musical education,
but of course I couldn’t undertake to
leach a gentleman like Mr. Sore!.
Perliap I had better return to New
York by the morning stage.’
Here Elsie, quite forgetfel of her
dignity, burst into tears.
“Stop a minute!’ said Mr. Sorel
gently. “'Why should you not re-
main at Mount Sorel and instruct my
choir-boys in my stead? And while
they are rudiments you can be pruc-
tbring with me.’
“If I could earn my board in that
way,” Elsie said feebly.
“You can do a great deal more than
that,” said Mr. Sorel, kindly. “And
now, mother, I am sure our pale little
visitor needs a cup of tea.’’
Hospitable Mrs. Sorel made baste
to conduct her to the breakfast room,
where fragrant tea, broiled chicken
and biscuits as light as a puff of snow
were spread appetiziugly on the little
round table glittering with old silver
and lighted with wax candles in anti-
que bronze scones,
“That was an excellent thought
about the choirboys,” said Mrs
Sorel, as she poured the thick yellow
cream iuio Elsie’s cup. “Now wasn’t
it my dear?”
' “If—if you are quite sure that it
wasn't merely to make mo feel easy
about staying here?’’ faltered Elsie.
Mrs. Sorel smiled wisely.
“Nothing would have induced him
to say what lie did not think,” said
she. “Ifudolpb is truth itself. ’
„ So Elsie _ stayed at Mount Sorel.
going down day by day to tho little
chapel among the wild mountain led¬
ges, with its picturesque gable and
windows of stained glass, to teach the
choir-boys the difference between
sharps and flats, “sol fas,’’ and “re
me’s,” and then, when the lesson was
over, she wandered into the ravines,
gathered rare ferns, and copied’slen
’■ ntaMwed wild flowers in water-
ctflois and grew as rosy as a rnilk-
ra m ‘ u ‘ 1 *
Until September came, with the
early frosts that turned the ferns to
gold, and hung pennons of scarlet
and russet among the maple trees iu
the glen; and then one day Rudolph
Sorel found Miss Dale sitting gravely
on the mosscovered rock beside moun¬
tain spring, with an unwonted shad¬
ow ou her face.
"What are you thinking of? he ask¬
ed smiling.
“I am thinking what I shall do this
Fall,” said she. “Whether to adver¬
tise in the city papers for music
scholars, or to open a little day-school
iu some unpretentious quarter of the
town.
“Why do you go away from here at
all?’’ he asked gravely.
“Because I nave my living to earn.’
t‘But why can’t you earu it here?’
“Because there is nothing to do”
she replied.
‘Are you quite certain of that?’’ he
asked gently. “There is a great deal
to do, Elsie Dale. I want you to stay
at Mount Sorel—to stay for my sake,
I want you to be my wife, El-ie.’
“Oh,” cried Elsie, clasping her
hands, “if only I was worthy of that.’
“But you are worthy,” he said,
Sweet-Heart, my life would be in
va > n without you, now that I have
learned to know and love you.’
when Madame Duchenes wrote
to Elsie Dale that she had found a
situation for her, Elsie I ale wrote
back to Madame Ducliense that the
llad f° und one for herself; and that it
liad nothing to do with music lessons

INTRODUCTION.
\ j u iy {0 ltly corutryraen to the
memory of those wbo died in defense
of a cause consecrated by inheritance
«s well as sustained by conviction•
and to those who perhaps less fortu-
nute) s t„ked all and lost all, save life
and honor, in its behalf, has impel -
Ilje | 0 attempt tho vindication of
1 their cause and conduct. For this
purpose I have decided to present an
historical sketch of the events which
pveceed and attended the struggle of
the Southern States to maintain their
existence and their rights as sovereign
communities the creators, not the
creatures of the General Govern-
meut.
The social problem of maintaining
the just relation between constitution,
government and people has been found
so difficult that human history is a
ncord of unsuccessful efforts to
establish it. A government to afford the
needful protection and exercise the
proper care for the welfose of the
people must have homogeuety in its
constituents. It is this necessity
which has divided the human race in
separate nations and finally has de-
feated grandest efforts which conquer-
ors have made to give unlimited ex-
tent to their domain. When our fa-
tbers dissolved their connection with
Great Britain by declaring themselves
free and independent States, they
atonstitilted thirteen separate commit-
nities, and were careful to assert and
^ foj . , ta#]f> JtiJ soveieignty and
i ul . is( jj ct j on
At a time when tho minds of men
are straying far fium the lessons our
fathers taught it seems proper and
well to recur 10 the original principles
on which the system of government
they devised was founded. The eter¬
nal truths which they announced the
rights which they declared “unaliena¬
ble'' are tho foundation stones on
which rests the vindiction of the
Confederate cause.
He must have been a careless reader
of our political history who has not
observed that whether under the style
United Colonies, or United States
which was adopted after the Deela-
ration of Dependence whether or the
compact of Union, there everywhere
appears the distinct assertion of State
sovereignty, mid no where the slight-
est suggestion of any purpose on the
part of the States to consolidate them-
selves into one body. Will any can-
did well informed man assert that at
any time beteen 1770 and 1750, a
proposition to surrender thesoveignty
of the States and merge them in a
central government would have had
the least possible chance of adoption?
Cun any historical fact be more de¬
monstrated than the States did, both
in the confederation and in the union
retain their sovereignty and indepen¬
dence as distinct communities soveri-
gnty and independence as distinct
communities, voluntarily consenting
to federation, but never becoming
the fractional parts of anation? That
such opinions should fiqd adherents in
0|jr day) may be attributable to the
na t ura l law of aggregation; sorely
not to a conscientious regard for the
terms of tile compact for union by the
g tates<
In all free governments the const).
■ tion or organic law is supreme over
t j ie government and in our Federal
xjnion this was most distinctly mar-
ked by limitations and prohibitions
aga j ns t a n which was beyond the ex-
p re£Se< j grants of power to tbe General
! Government. In the foreground,
tbi-refore I take tbe position that those
who resisted violations of the compact
were the true friends, and those who
’ maintai,,ed tIle uncl P alio ° of undele *
