XvM “ Goodrich't Recollections.” 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, old Ingersoll buttonwoods. Mjfl was!%ow niT Aiitricau A-r bassador to Russia, on his way* j thitner, and I was a chance sojourner in Pao stabs. We met as if we were obi friends. A;| ) I remembered his sisAtr 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 ~: ai,i eminent physician, and in easycircum ’ r- ” L s-'- ; ■- : ‘ i : • r'.iJHgp person nnWas he j thO ;gt,. possessed something of the appear- j ’ ance and character of lus lost sister. He found hat she could mg the simple Con- neetieut ballad, taught her in childhood, per haps-irrthe cradle, by her mother; she had 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 aistyr-a.nl remained there several days. She 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 of home and friends around her.

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 OBITUARY I>l fci, u pi>e iLsidontu, in thmeitv, on tin* goth oi March* 18J7, after a long aim tryingstekiK-ss—uo uiM , ..tini. of the chest Mai.
