And yet, beneath jt all, there was a throb of exultation in her heart. “I am to have a season at Saratoga,” said Leila Vail, the beauty of tbe school “Mama says I am young, but then very young girls are all the fash¬ ion now.” “I am to go to the Adiaondaeks with papa, to take sketches, and strengthen my i uugs ” ta id May Allison, prond- v- “I am to have music lessons from Rellautenda!” triumphantly proclaimed little Bell Burton. “Tell ll -’ Elsie dear > whut aie ? ou s oi °g to a ” r “Exactly the opposite from you, Bel,’’ said Elsie, laughing, while'the dimples canre into her chin, aud the earmine color into her cheek. “I shall spend my vacation giving nxusic lessons so that I can test mv own capacity m nd earn a litth{money for the future. 8 gJBell Burton looked on with wide open eyes of surprise. “Oh, Elsie!” cried she, ’ “do you bo- lieve you can?” “I shall try,” said Elsie, brave- !y. “I can’t possibly fanev a music teacher . , without false hair and , acles,” “Madame Ducbense is very kind,’’ said Miss Dale. “She got me this sit- uation because she knew that I wanted ««»««*>• -w*—* ■>»"»««» cacation.

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 ] lave (Liven a naturalist crazy, A fire of some scented wood blazed on a [ ow marble hearth, and far from disagreeable on the cold mountain heights, Augoothtfsoagh it- w.*-: pre.-ently a stout lady, in black silk and nn .i flutteun e n iterinrr * r Cap , m (.(...’j.™ StungS ’ carae .... 1 huI ,.... ‘ 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 th ink— ! “Oh, certainly hiaterical said iauch, Mrs. “I Sorel. will with in a little troduce you to your pupil.

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 o'tber, Evils of Dancing. , . .

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 * gated powers were the real enemies of To the parents the widows and the j orpliauts of the Confederate, dead I ° ffer thC conso,fttion that ,hose for whom they mourn, died for the right a willing sacr ’ fice ^ n the alter of “ ( their country, when their . memories, | | •» «' will go down in tradition to posterity, n , m0 rtalized by valor in defense of home and martyrdom for liberty. .T EFFERSGN DAVIS- Oct. 30i h, 1880.
