The Story of tirace IngcrMOll.
AM AMBRJCAM GIRL AT THR COURT OF MAPOLBOM.
The father of Grace, Jonathan Ingersoll,
was an eminent lawyer, and settled at New
Haven, Connecticut Personally, he was
erect, slender, and very much like his son,
the present Ralph I. Ingersoll. He was
marked by a nervous twitch of the face,
which usually signalised itself when he be
gan to address the jury. On these occasions
his eyes opened and stmt spasmodically ; at
the same time he drew the corners of his
mouth up and down, the whole seeming as
if it was his object to set the Court in a roar.
Sometimes he succeeded, in spite of all his
efforts to the contrary. Indeed, it was im
possible for a person on seeing this for the
first time to avoid a smile—perhaps a broad
one. It might seem that such a frailty
wou.d have been a stumbling block in his
profession; yet it was not so. I suspect,
indeed, that his practice as a lawyer was
benefit ted by it—for the world likes an easy
handle to a great name, and this is readily
supplied by a peculiar personality. At all
events such was (lie dignity of his charac
ter, the grace of his language, and the per
fection of his logic, his law, and his learn
ing, that he stood among the foremost of
his profession. He became Lieutenant Gov
ernor of the State, and a Judge of the Su
preme Court, and held various other re
sponsible olTn.es.
Tliis gentleman had a large family—sons
and daughters; the names o! the former
arc honorably recorded in the official annals
oft heir native State and of the United States.
The daughters were distinguished for per
sonal attractions and refined accomplish
ments. One of them claims special notice
—Orace Ingersoll How beautiful the name?
how suggestive of what she was in mind, in
in person, in character I I saw her once—
but once, and I was then a child —yet her
image is as distinct as if I had seen her yes
terday. In my boyhood these New Haven
flljb'rmlls came to Ridgefield, occasionally,
especially in Summer, to visit their relations
the o. They all seemed to me like superior
beings, especially Mrs. Ingersoll, who was
fair and ITtl ty about those days. On a ob
tain occasion, Grace, who'was a school com
panion of my elder sister, came to our house.
I imagined she did nut sue or notice me.
Certainly she did not discover jmtl.u sLy*
jP‘***m and dt‘wV.T. yet fuHjrmindedJ’
rich dark lmir, and large Spanish eyes
—now seeming blue, and now black, and
changing with the objects on which she
looked, or the play of emotions within her
breast. In complexion she was a brunette,
yet with a melting glow in her cheeks, as if
she had stolen from the sun the generous
hues which are reserved for the finest of
fruit and flowers. Her besutv was in fact
- - “Hiking-- iOouiw .-i,i superb and ay con
cilia’ ■ r - -'bar I n/- both awed
ted b - her. W herever She went I followed,
lliougti keeping at a distance, and never los
ing i iglit of her. Site spent the afternoon
at our house, and then departed, and I saw
her no more.
It was not long after this that a French
man hy the name of Orel let, who had come
to America on some important commercial
affairs, chanced to ho at New York, and
there saw Grace Ingersoll. Such beauty as
that of the New Haven belle is rate in this
country : it is never indigenous in France.
Eveu it such could be born there, the impe
rious force of conventional manners would
have stamped itself upon her, and rnuDe her
a fashionable lady, at the expense of that
uk'’ ‘ i ■. it . and simplicity which char-
It ; not astoir hing then,
‘he stranger —accustomed as *v was to
ocanty ol French fashionable life—
should still have been smitten with this new
and tat tling type of female ioveiiness.
Fmra the first view of that fair lady, Mon
•iei'i’ Orellpt was a doomed matt. Familiar
w t Court t :.... Parisian e.tpi-
Btght have passed by unharmed, even
by as fair as our heroine, had it not
been for that simplicity, that Puritanism of
look and manner, which telongeifto the so- |
eial climate in which was brought dip—— ,
so strongly in contrast to the prescribed pat- !
tem graces of a French lady. He came, he j
saw. tie was conquered. Being made 8 cap- ]
live, he had no other way than to capitulate.
Ho was a man ol good family, a fine scholar <
and a tin ‘-he k gentleman He made ‘ v ,
i | r .. .a i I proposal*, and was accepted j
neuis win:
*n ti- -- .vines Mart ~geen- :-‘d, and the
happy pair departed for France.
This took place in 1806. M. (.relict held
a high social position, and on his arrival at
Paris, it was a matter of propriety that his
bride should be presented at Court. Napo
leon was then in the Hush of ids imperial
glory. It must have been with some palpi
tation of heart that the New Haven girl—
scarcely turned of eighteen years, and new
to the great world—prepared to he intro
duced to the glittering circle of the proud j
Tuill. ries, and under the eye of the Emper
or himself. As she was presented to him in ‘
the midst of a glittering throtig, blazing with j
orders and diamonds, she was a little ngita- j
ted, and her foot was entangled for a moment |
in her long train—then an indispensable part i
of the court costume.
Napoleon, who with all his greatness nev- 1
er rose to the dignity of a gentleman, said !
in her hear ing, “ I’oiladtt la y lucheric Anitr
icanie /’’ American awkwardness! Ter-!
hap* a certain tinge of political bitterness
mingled iu the speech, for Jerome had been
Mduced ruts marriage by the beauty of an I
American lady, greatly to the chagrin of his
aspiring and unprincipled brother. At aUj‘
events, though he saw the blush his nni(y*Rsi
had created, a malicious smile played upon
his lips, indicative of that contempt of the
feelings of woman which was one of his
characteristics.
Madame Grellet, however, survived the
shock of this discourtesy, which signalized
her entry into fashionable life. She soon be
came a celebrity in the court circles, and al
ways maintained pre-eminence, alike for
beauty of person, grace of manners, and del-j
icacy and dignity of character. More than
once she had her revenge upon the Emperor,
when in the center of an admiring circle, lie
with others, paid homage to her fascinations.
Yet this transplantation of the fair Puritan,
even to the pradisc of fashion, was not
! healthful.
M. Grellet became one of Bonaparte’s re
ccivers-genrrnl, and took up his residence in
the department ofDordognv—though spend
ing the winters in Paris. Upon the fall of
Napoleon, he lost his office, but was re-ap
pointed during the “hundred days,” only ita
lose it again upon the final restoration!©'!
Louis XVIII. The shadows now gathered
thick and fast around him ; his wife having
taken a violent cold was attacked with pleu
risy, which resulted in a gradual decline.—
Gently but surely her life faded
Deatli loves a shining mark, and at the ear
ly age of five and twenty she descended to
the tomb. With two lovely daughters—the
I remembrance of his love and afiliction—M.
I Grellet returned to the south of France, and
in the course of years he too wars numbered
with the dead.
About half a century passed'dtway, and
the memory of Grace Inge ong
since been obliterated from my, mind, when
|it was accidentally recalled. One evening,
; beingatthe Tnillerics—among the celebrities
jof the world’s most brilliant cplirt —I saw
her brother, R. I. Ingersoll. It was curious
to meet with one to whom I had never spo
ken —though I had occasionally seen him—
since we were boys together ut
The last incident associated with liim'in my.
was that we played mumble-pet?
together on the green mound beneath the,

if her children were re
plied in the affirmative, aud that he was on
the point of paying them a visit.
I saw hi: 1 a month afterward, and lie
told me he had just returned from the
south of France, where lie had enjoyed a
most interesting stay of a fortnight withhis
nieces. (hie, the elder, was married, and
had children around her. She was the wife

also some of her sketches in pencil, and
other per sonal mementos, which she cherish
ed as sacred relics of her parent, who now
seemed a saint in her memory. How heart
tis ill snrl how touching are such remembran
ces -Hewers that cast perfume around the
verv precincts of the tomb.
The other niece—where was she? In a
convict; lost to the world! By special fa
vor,however, she was permitted to leave her
seclusion for a short period, that she might
see her uncle. She came to the house of her

was a most interesting person, delicately
graceful, sensitive, still alive to all humane
affections. She was generally cheerful, and
entered with a ready heart into the pleasures

All human love is a faint type of God’s,
An echoing note from a harmonious whole,
A feeble spark from an undying tlame,
A single drop from an ttufathomed so*;
Hut God's is infinite, it fills the earth
And Heaven, aud the broad, trackless r9fiu of space.
Earth's myriad voices hymn it ceaselessly,
The mountains tell it to the peaceful vates,
In tuucful stream, and voiceful water fails,
That bear it uu, ;iud sing it to the sea,
L'uLll its great heart swell*, that restless heart
Heating forever ml the answering shore!
“f is smiling in the gulden light of day,
Ami beaming gently from the starry eyes
Tlmt watch, at night, a sinful, shrouded world;
It speaks to us through odorous lips of flowers,
Aud warbles from the singing hearts of birds
O, that JJ human hearts might join the strain;
Then Hate and Bigotry and Sin would die;
Then peace would reign aud wear its olive crown.
Aud War, with blood stained feet, no longics i jin k
Earth's fair domain, or wave its crimson flag.
Tljen Pride would lay its flaunting mantle by—
The cry of Luuger cease—the opressor's rod
Would scourge no more, hut twin be linked to man

For haih&n love, and yearn, ulus! In vain;
Though Time and Df-ath have broken one by one,
The Tew, frail reeds whereon ye leaned so long
And trustingly, and left no earthly stay ;
t rood cheer I there comes at last, untroubled rest;
The crowns are thornless that the angels weave,
And God** love is eternal.

with every form of worm disease, and was induced to
apply all the energies of his mind to the discovery of a
vermifuge, or worm destroyer, certain in its effects; the
result of his labors la the American Worm Specific, now
before the public, prepared hy Fleming Bros, of Pitts
burgh, which is perfectly safe, and may be given alike
to children of the most tender age, or to the aged adult,
it purges mildly and subdues fever, and destroys worms
with invariable success. It is easy of administration,
and as it does not contain mercury in atiy form what
ever, no restrictions are necessary with regard to drink

cinlty of Oglethorpe and on being quntlonad, gave evi
dence that he was a runaway, whereupon an effort was
made to capture lilm, but offering slout and dangerous
resistance he was killed; one shot taking effect on the
left side of the abdomen, the oilier on the right side of
the head just under .lie ear. The negro and his owner
are so fsr unknown. He Is of dark complexion, IS frets
or 10 Inches high, weighs about 110 to ISO pounds. The
coroner’s Inquest Is now being held, but the mail ctoaes
too soon to wait the verdict. Tours, Ac.,
IVERNIA.
Tliut Poison illg. -l< is said that President
Buehnnnu lias not yet fully recovered from the effects
of the National Hotel disease. If, ns It Is ststed by
some wicked, waggish body, the disease was engender
ed by huddling together sucli a mass of the dry-rot De
mocracy, we are fearful the President will never over
come the influence of the unwholesome miasma.
OBITUARY* TRIBUTE.
Departed tlds life, on the 15th ult. at the residence of
her husband, in Grimes Cos., Texas, Mrs. GRACY M.
JORDAN, wife of Wm. B. Jordan, Esq., formerly of
Hopewell, Crawford co, Ga.. aged 55years, 1 month and
5 days. ller disease was Chronic Heputits, with which
she hns been ufllicted for several years, and which grad
ually wasted away her strength and life.
The writer of this tribute to pioKs worth, has known
the subject of it, for about 20 years, and he is free to
say, that in all the virtues and graces of character which
adorn and elevate woman, Mrs. Jordan was a living ex
emplar of rare excellence. For twenty-five years she
had been a consistent professor of religion. She hn<f
thus early embraced the soul-cheering doctrines of the
final “Restitution of all things, spoken of by all God’s
Holy prophets since the world began,” and found her
glorious faith to triumphantly sustain her in her last
hours. Rut a short time before she expired, she de
sired to be remembered in love ts, her osent friends,
and to give them the assurance that her dfe-long tru-t
in Infinite Love did not fail her in death, but enabled
her to say, “Oh Death, where is thy sting, Oh Grave,
where is thy victory, thanks be unto God who giveth us
the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Her husband writes, that during the last days of her
earthly sojourn, she conversed with her ffiepds on the
subject of death with eo much calmness and resignation
sto astonish all who heard her. Those who were stran
gers to the blessed faith she enjoyed, could not under,
stand how it was tlmt ‘‘perfect love CHsteth out fear,” or
how a true Christian could die!
Asa wife, mother, daughter and ncighlior, Mrs. Jor
dan was a paragon of her sex. Kind, affable, and in
telligent, she made her home n blessing to all within the
circle of her inpuenpe. £ut tfll these virtues could not
stay the &rrq?yß qf de.}th, though they yervp to sanctify
the affliction of her friends at their loss, and shed a fra
grant perfume over the memory of the departed. To
her deeply smitten husband and her sorrowing relatives
and numerous friends, we lender our slncerest con*
dolence, in this their hour of bereavement. May the
richest consolation of the Gospsl of peace and love be
their’s to the full extent of all their need.
„He ‘ T ; was the daughter of Mr. Jonathan Colbert of
Crawford Cos. a
