‘THE GOVEKKOK’S OAUGHTtiR
It was the day before the commencement at
tbeM -4-Academy, in the pleasant town of
G———; and since early morn every
train had disgorged crowds of young ladies
and gentlemen, all destined for its classic
shades.
It was now five o'clock, and in fifteen min
utes the last train for the night would arrive,
and many of the early comers were strolling
towards the depot to witness the fresh arrival
of students. - J
They had not waited long before the train
came in with its usual screech and clamor and
another crowd passed out; two young ladies
among the new comets I wish particularly to
notice.
One- was short, with laughing blue eyes,
which made her the very personification of fon
and mischief. Her companion, though taller,
was slight and graceful, every movement de
noting by its perfect-ease that she was as
sociated with the educated and refined; she
was dressed in black, and n thin veil screened
her features from observation.
They went directly to the principal’s office,
as students were required to enter their names
before rooms were assigned them in the Board
ing Hail. The Principal bowed respectfully in
answer to a similar salutation from them, and
placed a large book before them ; the first enter
ed her name as Jennie Aliyn, the other as Net
tie Moore. ' The Principal drew the book to
wards him and glanced at the names : then
looking up to Nettie be said,
- “ Pardon me, but are you not Robert Moore’s
daughter?’’
“ I am sir,” she replied. |
“ Indeed ! 1 formed Ihe acquaintance of your
father a short time ago, and he said his daugh
ter would attend the M- Academy this
(erm ; I heartily welcome you, and trust you
will have a pleasant tithe. The scenery around
G is very romantic.”
“ And this,” said Nettie. “is the daughter
of the Lieutenant Governor.”
“Ah ! happy to form your acquaintance,”
The young ladies bad a pleasant and com
modious room assigned them, end their bag
gage arriving, they in a short time made it ap
pear quite home-like, and here we ( may as well
more fully describe Nettie. Her features were
perfect in their outline; a full high forehead
|depoting rare intellectual gifts ; her hair was
dark and fastened in a bund ; her eyes were al
isu dark, and no one could look into the liquid
depths without feeling a peculiar setisation. : —
Without attempting a further description, suf
fice it to say that in a week she was admired
by all the young gentlemen and envied by all
the young 1 .dies.
The first week passed away in preparation for
the regular beginning, which was to take place
the following Monday. Nettie’s superior edu
cation placed her at once in the graduating
class;
Saturday came and several of the young la
dies were assembled in her room, drawn there
partly to listen to Jennie’s pleasant and ready
wjt, and partially because it made them more
popular with the gentlemen to appear intimate
with Nettie. -
They had been conversing for some time
when Adele Ternon proposed that each should
tell her father’s occupation. - There; was a sim
ultaneous approval, and as Adele proposed it,
they decided that she should tell first.,
“My father,” said .she, “was formerly a
merchant in New York, but has now retired' ’
from business'and lives in a beautiful home, on
the banks of the river. Hudson.”
My father,” said Clara Lincoln',
physician in A .”
Mine,” said Honense Sinclaie, “ is a Con
gregational clergyman in B———
“ And.mine,” said Estelle Demount, “is a.
lawver in S
“My father,” said Jennie, “is Lieutenant
Governor of this State,” -
'The ladies at this expressed’considerable sur
prise.' Adele turning to Nettie, said i -
“ You are last; what does your father do ?”
?‘Well, girls, I shall have to acknowledge
that my father is by trade a shoemaker.” *
Jennie opened -her-Hue-eyes-with astonish
ment and seemed on'l ho point of speakfngVbnt
a warning glance from Nettie'silenced her.
The others cast quick glances at each other, |
and in a few moments arose to leave: Jennie)
was warmly urged to return the call, while to !
Nettie they were hardly civil, each giving-ai
formal invitation which was coldly received.— ;
Jennie could hardly restrain her impatience I
until the last one had disappeared, and as ;
soon as the door was closed, exclaimed— .- ;
“ Why, Nettie, what made you say your
father was a shoemaker ?”
“ I told them be was a shoemaker by trade.”
“ put why did you not tell them what be' is
now?” ...
" Because I wish to remain incognito just !
for a joke. It will come out before I leave.”
Jennie at once entered into the spirit of the I
joke, and promised to be a faithful aider and
abettor. ~
When they went down to tea that evening
they saw that .the story had already gained a
wide circulation. The ladles hardly recognized
Nettie, while the gentlemen whohad previous
ly been so attentive stared almost rudely at
her-
Frank Needham, son of a wealthy manufac
turer, had' been bdr opposite, hut now be sat
in front of the haughty Adele, while Ralph
Gordon, son of a poor but heftiest mechanic,
filled' fiis. place;-tile two ladies Exchanged
quick glances and smiles ; it was,evident they
did not feel badlv about it.
That night they visited the Principal, but
at the close of the conversation they alMaugh- -
ed heartily and declared it would be an excel
lent joke.
Monday came and brought with it Walter !
Percy, only, son of a wealthy merchant in Bos
ton. His advent caused a great sensation
among the ladies, and they lingered long at
their glasses before answering the bell for tea
that night.
When Nettie entered the room most of the
AGITATOR.
students were seated, and she saw the hand
some stranger but a few chairs above her, con
versing with Estelle, who bad contrived in some
manner to be-his opposite; as Nettie seated
herself he glanced at her, and admiration was
at once depicted on bis countenance. Estelle
noticed it and bit her lips with vexation. Af
ter the Principal had invoked the Divine bles
sing, the hum of conversation began, and
Walter inquired the name of the young lady
tvhp was dressed in black.
Estelle’s lip turned scornfully as she replied.
“ It isNettie Moore': only a shoemaker’s daugh
ter.”
Walter regarded her for a moment with an
expression she could not interpret, and then
looked at Nettie. Her faeo was flushed; she bad
over-heard Estelle’s sneering answer.
That night she walked out alone across.the
fields, Jennie being otherwise occupied.
She seated herself at the foot of a lofty oak
and gave herself up to reflection.. She did
not hear the stops which were approaching
her from behind, nor did she know a person
was near until a man rudely seized her by the
arm and attempted to kiss her. She screamed
and struggled violently to free herself but Jbe
villain held her fast, and had almost pressed
his polluted lips to her cheek, when he receiv
ed a blow that sent him reeling to the ground.
Nettie turned to thank her preserver and saw
Walter Percy standing before her. Her cheeks
flushed, for she remembered the scene in the
drawing-room. He appeared not to notice her
embaressment and said:
“ I believe I have the honor of addressing
Miss Moore ?”
“ Yee, sir, and I thank you very kindly for
your timely arrival.”
“ I was slso out walking, when I heard you
scream, and ran to your assistance.”
Daring the conversation the wretch had
arisen from the ground and slunk away, mut
tering threats his cowardly heart would not
dare fulfill. They watched him a few moments,
then turning, Walter said—
“ Shall I have the honor of escorting you
back to the Hall f”
Taking his offered hand she replied —
“ Perhaps you do not know I am only a shoe
maker’s daughter?”
•• Miss Dormont was particular.enough to in
form me this evening ; hut she may learn that
wealth or s'tation is not my standard of affec
tion. My father was once a poor boy, and
has taught me to honor the industrious and
good, if they are poor," ■ ■
. Their conversation soon turned on poets, and
be found that she, like himself, was an adtni
rer'of the “ Poetic Lyre” when swept- by the
hand of genius. J
The walk back to the bail passed pleasantly,
and they parted excellent friends. That night
he dreamed of shoemakers and their daugh
ters, more than he did of his Greek and Latin.
The weeks of the long term flaw away.—
Nettie was reminded every day by slights and
other insults, that she was looked upon as an
inferior. There were some who did regard
her so, and there was one who showed her as
much defference ns a subject would his mon
arch ; this was Walter Percy. Since the night
he bad rescued her they had often met and con
versed, much to the chagrin of other young la
.dieswho could gain from him nothing but cold
civility.
When he conversed with her his voice was
deep and tender, and there was a light in his
eye which often caused Nettie’s dellicately
tinted cheek to wear a richer hue. They visit
ed together many of the romantic places in
the vjoinity of 6 . taking with them
Jennie and Ralph Gordon, who though poor,
was handsome and one whom Jennie much
admired.
The term was drawing to a close. The twen
ty-fonr weeks had dwindled , down to four
when an event happened which oanse’d much
excitement.
was a
A lady, formerly a student of the Academy,
was to give a grand party, and an invitation
was extended to all the students'.
To tho young ladies, wearied by the contin
uous routine of study, the excitement of prep
aration was a delightful recreation, and was in
dulged in to such an extent by some as to
bring opposite their names numerous black
marks designed to show how black spots had
been stomped on their teacher’s opinion in re
gard to their scholarship. -
The invitation had not been given fong,
when Walter sought Nettie and asked her com
pany. She first refused, as she had not attend
ed a party since her mother died two years be
fore. Walter pleaded .earnestly ; and finally
gained her consent.
Estelle hinted several times that his compa
ny would baagreeable to her, but he appeared
not to understand her, and she was finally
obliged to find another escort.
Mrs. Jameson’s room was rapidly filling
with the wealth, beauty and fashion, oi 6——.
Among the gay assembly were many whom I
have before introduced. Jennie had refused
many of the upper tendom of the Academy,
and was now promenading through the apart
ment leaning on the arm of Ralph Gordon.
Adele moved gracefully through the throng
attended by Frank Needham. Estelle sat in
the recess of the window, talking with Harry
Spaulding; while others promenaded the rooms i
of sat in groups conversing.
“I tfonder where Nettie is?” said Jennie,
having sought her in vain. Just then casting :
her glance towards the door she exclaimed :
“ Ah 1 here they come 1”
Walter and Nettie'had just entered; as they j
passed in the room. She moved beside him with |
ah ease and quiet dignity few could immitate,
none excel. She had for a time laid aside her
mourning garb, and was dressed in a rich but
simple robe which floated around
her faultless person. She wore no ornaments
but a few white buds among the dark braids of
her hair. The evening passed pleasantly, and
finally Walter proposed a walk over the beauti
ful grounds which surrounded the house and
to which many had resort. Nettie gladly con
sented, Walter tied on her hat, and they step
ped out op . the verandah end entered one of
the paths which led through the grounds.
It was a beautiful night; the moon, slowly cir
cling through the heavens, cast a silvery radi-
ence over all objects; no sound broke the still
ness save the sweet tinkling of the fountain as
it threw aloft its waters all sparkling in the
mellow light.
They wandered for a time along the different
paths, feasting upon the scene of beauty, and
then he drew her to a seat beside him on a
rustic bench.
They sat there for a while in silence, she ga
zing off, into the dim distance, he watching
the changes of her lovely features.,
“ Nettie t" and bis whole heart seemed to go
out with the impassioned utterance.
What, Walter ?”
Nettie, since the first night we met I have
loved you deeply, and truly, and now existence
would be a blank without your sweet compa
ny. Oh, say 1 you can—do you love me ?”
At the first sentence her eyes sank under
iiis eager gaze, and a rich crimson suffused her
face : but as be finished her eyes sought bis,
and she said—
“ Do you not see, Walter, that I am treated
as an inferior by my fellow students, and are
you willing, with your wealth, your bright
prospects, to take- such an one to your heart ?”
“ Ah, Nettie, I,should consider wealth and
all its blessings as nothing if your love was de
nied me; those who despise you are deficient
in all that belongs to pure and noble woman
hood. Ob, say, Nettie, may I hope lam be
loved ?”
“ Yes, I do love you, Walter, with my whole
heart,” and her head sank on his shoulder.
****** *****
I will pass over the remainder of the term
which was mostly occupied in preparation for
the examination. Nettie, Adele, and Estelle
were the only graduates, and they were busy at
work on their essays, for each desired to take
the prize. This would also finish Walter’s
preparatory course, and nest term he would
enter Yale. '
On the fnorning before the examination, as
tbs stndents.were, all assembled in the chapel,
they were electrified by the announcement that
the Governor of the State would arrive that
night and remain through the examination.—
The students were all excitement, and when the
.time drew near expectation was on the alert.—
A carriage was seen coming, up the road, and
they all cried, “the Governor is coming!”—
The carriage halted, and a node, portly looking
man alighted ; hilt what was their disappoint
ment, when Nettie rushed out, and throwing
herself into his arms, called.bim father.
Heads were drawn back, and many said con
temptuously, " how absurd to mistake a shoe
maker for a Governor."
They watched in vain till tea was announced,
when they gave it up, concluding be would not
come that night.
The students were all seated when the Prin
cipal entered, accompanied by Mr,. Moore and
Nettie, s To the surprise of all, he gave that
gentleman the head of the table, while he and
Nettie tmk- the next seats below. When all
was quiet, he said, in a clear, diatinot tone, so
that all could hear— r
“ Governor Moore will you ask the divine
blssaing f”
It would be hard to describe the surprise and
mortification of those who now learned they
bad been slighting and sneering at the daughter
of their beloved Governor.
Jennie, who sat next to Adele, whispered in
her ear—
“ He was onoe a shoemaker, but now a Gov
ernor.”
It was true. Governor Moore, when a young
man, learned the shoemaker’s trade, and work
ed at it many years. He prospered, and finally
retired from business, but was soon called upon
to fill the highest office in the State, and nobly
did he perform his duties.
Walter was greatly surprised, bat this did
not intensify his love, for he bad given Nettie
his whole heart, when he thought she was only
a shoemaker’s daughter.
That night, when Nettie and Jennie had re
tired to their room, the door opened, and Adele,
followed by a number of the other yonng la
dies,- entered to excuse their conduct.
Nettie received them vary coldly, and said,
“ I excuse your conduct; but as I was not wor
thy to associate with you as the daughter of
a shoemaker, I am not worty as tho daughter
of a Governor.”
With this rebuke they soon left the room;
Nettie took the prize and received many con
gratulations, but none were valued so highly
as those spoken by Walter Percy.
She had revealed to her father her regard
for Walter; and-when she presented him he
was cordially greeted by the Governor, who, by
the way, was acquainted with his father.
Ths night after the examination she and
Walter took their last stroll over those grounds
where they had passed so many hapjgrjpmrs.
They were to separate on the mofSjSp; she
would return home, he would ere the day was
o’er be at old Yale.
But little remains to be told. Walter grad
uated with honor, and soon brought to his
home the lovely Nettie Moore.
Not many years after, Ralph Gordon, then a
yonng and prosperous physician, was married
to our old friend Jennie, and they now live a
short distance from Walter, They often recall
their school days at M,, --Academy, and
laugh oyer the joke of the shoemaker’s dangh
ter.
Love Eoees the Camp,—A Savannah paper
contains letters from Captain Hatch, the rebel,
and Col. Malford, the Union Exchange Commis
sioner, to a young lady in Savannah from which
it appears that if lovers have their troubles there
are also.those who, even amidst the scenes of
war, wish them well. The lady had" sent some
verses and flowers to the object of her solici
tude, then a prisoner at the Worth. This see
med like unsubstantial fare to a hungry man ;
but it proved to him a sesame to the comforts
of homo and the society of his lady love. Col

How to Dress for a Photograph.
- A lady or gentleman, having made ap her
or his mind to be photographed, naturally con
siders, in the first place, how to be dressed lo'
as to show off to the best advantage. This is
by no means such an important matter as many
might imagine. Let me offer a few words of
advice touching drees. Orange color, for cer
tain optical reasons, is, photographically, black.
Bine is whits; other shades or tones.of color
are proportionately darker or lighter as they
contain more or less of these colors. The pro
gressiva scale of photographic color, commences
with the lightest. The order stands ■ thus .-
white, light blue, violet, pink, mauve, dark
bine, lemon, bine-green, hatber-brown, drab,
corise magenta, yellow-green, dark-brown, pur
ple, red, amber, maroon, orange, dead black.—
Complexion bae to bo mush considered in con
nection with dress. Blondes can wear much
lighter colors than brunstts; the latter always
present better pictures in dark dresses, but
neither look welifin positive white. Violent con
trasts of color should be especially guarded
against. In photography brunetts possess a
great advantage over their fairer sisters. The
lovely golden tresses lose all their transparent
brilliancy, and are represtented blaok; whila
the " bonny bine e’e,” theme *f rapture to the
poet, is misery to the photographer, foe it is
put entirely out. The simplest and most effeo
tive way of removing the yellow color from the
hair Jis to powder it nearly white; it is thus
brought to about tbs same photographic tint
as in] nature. The same rule, of course, ap
plies to complexions. A freckle quite invisible
at a short distance is, on account of its yellow
color, rendered most painfully distinct wham
photographed. The puff-box must he called ia
to the assistance of art. Here let me intrude
one word of general advice. Bine, as ws have
seen, is the most readily affected by light, and
yellow the least; if, therefore, you would keep
your complexion clear and fraa from tan and
freckles while taking your delightful rambles
at the sea-side, discard by all means the bias
veil, and sbstitute a dark-green or yellow oas
in its stead. Blue tulle offers no more obstruc
tion to the actinic rays of tne sun than white.
Half a yard of yellow net, though not very be
coming, will be found vary efficacious, and con
siderably cheaper than a quart of kalydor.—
The cause of freckles is simple enough. It is
nothing more than the darkening of the salts
of iron contained in the blood by the action of
light. A freckled face is, therefore, an animated,
photograph.
Bridesmaid*.
Next to being a bride herself, a very good
looking yoang woman likes to be a bride's
maid'. Wedlock is thought by a large propor
tion of the blooming aes to be contagious, and
much to the credit of their courage, fair spin*
sters are not at all afraid of catching it. Far*
haps the theory that tbs affection is comma*
nicated by contact is correct. Certainly we
hare known one marriage to lead to another,
and sometimes to snoh a series of “happy
events" as to favor the belief that matrimony,
as John Tan Suren might say, “runs like the
cholera.” •
Is there any book entitled “ Rules for Brides
maids." in secret circulation among young la
dies ? It seems as if there must be, for all the
pretty bench-women act precisely alike., So far
as official conduct is concerned, when you have
seen one bridesmaid yon have seen the whole
fascinating tribe. Their loading duty seems to
be to treat the bride as a “victim led with gar
lands to the sacrifice." They consider it
necessary to exhort her to cheer up and stand
by.” It la assumed, by a poetic fiction, that
she goes ?n a state of fearful trepidation to the
altar, and upon the whole would rather not.—
Her fair aids provide themselves with pungent
essences, least she should faint at the “ trying’
moment," which, between you and us, reader,
she has no more idea of doing than she has of
flying. It is true that she sometimes tells thsm
that she “ feels as if she would sink into the
earth," and that they respond, “poor dear
soul," and apply the smelling bottle; but she
goes throngh her nuptial martyrdom with for
titude, nevertheless.
In nine casos out of tan the bridegroom is
more “ illustrated" than the fragile and loving
creature nt his side ; hue nobody thinks of
pitying him, poor fellow. All symyathy, com
passion, interest, is concentrated upon the
bride, and if one of the groomsmen does re
commend him to taka a glass of wine before
the ceremony, to steady his nerves, the advice
is given superciliously—as we should say
“what a sooney you are, old follow."
Bridesmaids may be considered as brides in
what lawyers cal! the “inchoate" or incipient
state. Thoy are looking forward to that day of
triumphant weakness when it shall bo their
turn to ba “poor, dear oreatured," and Preston
salted, and otherwise sustained and supported,
as the law of nuptial pretences directs. Let ns
hope thoy may not ba disappointed.
Hope.—Hope is the sweetest friend that aw
kept a distressed friend company ; it beguiles
the tedioosnese of the way, all the miseria* of
our pilgrimage. It tells the soul such sweat
stories of the succeeding joys ; what comfort*
there are in heaven ; what peace, what joy,
what trihmphs, what marriage song* and hall
elujahs there are in that country whither she
is traveling, that she goes tnerily away with her
present burden.
“To be a woman of fashion is on* of th*
easiest things in the world. A late waiter tho»
describes it: Buy everything you don’t want,
and pay for nothing you get; smile on all man
kind but your hnsbarid; be happy avarwher*
but at home; neglect your children and nun*
lap-dogs; go to church every time yea get a
new dress.
A ToSNO lady was heard to declare that' eh#
couldn't go to fight for ber- country, but #h*
was willing to allow the young men to go, and
die an old maid, which she thought was as great
a sacrifice as anybody could be called open to
make.
