May there toeelher meet.

The beluga that have perished,

And Joyfully they meet us,
With a pli'asure-ba.niiins eye,

Holds a sceptre in his hand,

From realms ofedd reality.

v; " Nellie 1 Nellie Ray, where are
n you?" rang out tho clear voice of Katie
m Woodburn, as she bounded down tho stairs
!J and into the parlor, dining room and
kitchen, successively without finding tho
- object of her search. " Nellie, Nellie
where can she be';" continued Kato, as
phe skipped out of tho door and waltzed
t down the garden path till sho stumbled
t over Nellie, sitting quietly reading a favor-
J? ita book ; but was suddenly roused by her
con-ins unceremonious approach. "Why
.'i Nell ! vou iroodfornothiiig, 1 have been
" looking for you all over the house, and
calling for vou in a voice loud enough to
waku tho seven sleepers, and hero 1 find
you, sitting as demure as a little saint, with
I a book, too 1 just as though you had been
loading ! Rut never mind, L'U take care
' . of that book, awhile, '' said sho, snatching
it up from tho grouud where it had fallen
at Kate's abrupt approach.
" And now I've a mind not to tell you
fwbat I have been searching jou for the
la;t half hour to tell. Something that you
would give your best book to know ; con
fess now that you will behave yourself bet'
tor in future and let the books alone, and
1 will tell you," and before Nellie could
'." reply, Kate had caught her and was whirl-
ing her round and round, to the imminent
' danger of breaking her neck. "O Kate,

Ned has como homo from college and ho
brought with him tho handsomest fellow
I over saw, and ho is going to stay all the
time of vacation. There ! aint that news ?
5ut I want to warn you, Nell, that you
had better not dare to set your cap for
iiim, as I intend doing that myself, and
you know I am a dangerous rival." Say
ing which, tho mad cap shook her raven
..amis in Nellie's face and hopped off up
stairs, stopping at tho top, however, to till
Nellie to bo sure and wear her bluo tissue
and pearls, while shcfchould wear a scarlet
brocade.
Elinoro Ray was a resident of tho city,
but at tho timo at which our story opens
was spending the summer with her couiin,
Kate Woodburn, at Judge Woodburn's
country mansion, within a days ndo of
1! city, where rscllio s parents re.
tided
There was not the least resemblance bo
twecn tho cousius, cither in looks, manucr
or disposition. Ncllio was a bloudo, gen
tle, quiet and dignified in her mauncrs;
Kate, tho very opposito, a dark eyed beau
ty, wild, roguish, and a regular tornado
jher papa said j she teased hor quiet cousin
dreadfully, but still they were tho best
friends in tho world.
Half an hour after the above conversa
tion by the cousins, tho dinner bell rang,
aud Kato and Nellie meeting on tho stair
way, descended to tho parlor together,
where thoy were formally introduced to
tho liandsouic strimgor that Kato was in
Mich cxtacics aliout. Ned Woodburn, a
gay, dashing fun-loving fellow, offered his ,
arm to"couiu Noll" and Kate escorted by
the handsome southerner, resorted to tho
(lining room. Kate was splendidly at.
tired, and witty Ulkative and really well j
educated, sho did tho honors of hostess
very becomingly, while Nellie, instead of ,
wearing blue and pearls, woro a simple
whito. with a single rose bud in her hair.

in her life, so Kate told her. After din
ncr they all repaired to tho parlor, where !
the sprightlincss and playfulness of Kato, I
and the quiet dignity and aniiableness of
her cou-iu so pleaded him, that ho did not j
know on retiring which of tho two lie liked
best.
Willis St. Clair, as wo havo already in
timated, was a southerner by birth, and
belonged to one of tho first families in
Georgia. His father, a wealthy planter,
had spared no pains to give him an educa
tion in accordance with his position in so
ciety ; and as tho North presented a better
field for cdueatiou than tho South, bo was
sent there to complete his studies in Ameri
ca, previous to his travelling in Europe.
He soon formed an intimacy with Ned
Woodburn, aud, when vacation camo round,
so pressing was Woodburn's invitation that
St. Clair should accompany him homo, that
lie not unreluctautly consented ; and never
wai vacation days more richly improved
or moro highly enjoyed than were those
of Ned aud his friend. There were pic-
uica, walks, sails, rides, music and every
thing which Kato and Ned could devise
for the amusement of their guests, in all of
which Ned was the constant companion of
Nellie, leaving Kate to take earo of St.
Clair, as she termed it.
St. CI ir was a devoted lover of muio
aud a proficient in the art ; and on the
lir.;t evening of his stay ho asked Mus
Kato to sing for him, and sho laughingly
loved inuie. cou-iu Nellie could oblige
him. lie then requested the pleasure of
escorting Miss Rav to the piano. Sho ,
complied cheerfully and gracefully with
his n quest, and a sho was a sweet singer,
she sang several pieces in such a manner,
that, as Willii li-teucd, he thought that bo
had never heard such singing ceu in the
most nomilar operas before. After several
pieces were sung,
was not going to
Ned declared that he
his cou-in imposed
upon any longer, and if Willis did not take
up his flute and accompany her, Nellie
should not sing another song. After that
during his stay, Willis always accompanied
her in her songs.
Two weeks of vacation had passed away,
leaving Nellie no oppoitunity to occupy her
l'avoiito scat in the garden with her books ;

Innocence, who should it bo but tho one
you wore thinking about when I interrupt
ed j ou Mr. Willis St. Clair."
" 1 beg your pardon, Kato, for not
thinking who you meant, for I might have
known your head was full of nothing but
St. Clair ; I must also beg loavo to inform
1 you that my thoughts were about what I
was reading and not as you suppose, on
Willis St. Clair. Now I will answer your
question, I liko him very well as far as I
know him. Ho is quite handsome, intel
lectual, well educated, gentlemanly and
. with a native dignity in his bearing that is
very pleasing. Altogether, I think I
, should liko him very well for a cousin,
! Tell mo, Kate, has ho fallen into your cap

" 1'suaw, xeni ho

" Thank you, KaU, for your generous
offer, but I could not be so cruel ; beside,
I fear that ho would not fall into it if I
should sit it, and that would bo dreadful;
for present appearances indicate that you
are both caught in tho samo snare." Hero
tho return of tho gentlemen put an end to
the conversation, aud thoy both arose and
entered tho house.
When thoy entered tho parlor, they were
soon joined by the gentlemen ; and Kato
declared that sho "should not let them go
out of her sight again, for that little book
worm Nell, had taken herself aad book
away from her as far as she could get,
leaving her all alone. Hut shu was going
to pay thorn all, and so they might go and
prepare for a ride, while sho was going to
tell Sam to briug out the horses. They
were soon mounted. Katu rode a highly
mettled, coalhlaek horso, which she called
Gypsoy, and Nellie, who was somewhat
timid, rodo an ambling little pony which
she called l'ct : but Kato said "it omrlit to

begged leave to bo excused, laying the

genua canwr o, ncr pet was pieasa nor
tlian running a race, and Mr. St. Ola.r ,
said that if Miss Nellie would permit him,
ho would remain with her. Kato said sho '
was perfectly willing that they should all
stay if they wished, but sho was going to
let Gypscy go just as fast as he pleased,
and after calling Ncllio a coward and tell
ing St. Clair to bo sure and take care of
her, and not lit her get her precious little
neck broke ; told Ned to catch her if he
could, aud away she darted like an arrow
with her raven urls streaming behind her,
aud Ned vainly trying to catch her. St.
Clair and Nellioiodoou slowly for there
was much in the surrounding scenery to
j,eo a-.d admire, and as they conversed
ho thought that ho had never beheld any
one half so lovely, or one so well worth
being loved as tho gentle being at his side.
j Jut while they wuro slowly moving along,
Nellie's horse suddenly took fright at an
obiect along the road, aud in an instant
was dashing

St. Clair
wildly on the road toward tho

moment at tho imminent danger of Nellie,
but soon regained his presence of mind,
aud nearly flew along to her rescue, for he
kl'C" that the afrigbtcd animal would not

'''orc her. Rut before ho could roach
lr, although he was nearly up to her side,
the horso suddenly turned and threw her
from the saddle. To spring to the ground
and kneel by her side was tho work ot an
instant, but sho lay perfectly motionless,
with her whito l.ieo upturned, and he
thought she was dead. " 0 Nellie, dear,
dear Nellie," ho cried, rising hor pas-ivo
form and straining her to him in a pas-ion-ato
embrace, "look up, darling; Oh ! my
God ! she is dead, and sho never knew
how well I loved her ! Why, why could I
not dio to save her," said ho, as he arose
and taking his helpless burden in his arms
he laid her gently by the river's side, while
he carried water in his hands and bathed
her marble brow, The water revived her,
and with a sigh sho opened her eyes, but
idocd them again, nut that was a moment
of joy to Willis.

interests, no might say to the country that
no Convention, having such immense inter
ests at stake, has ever sat for so great a
length of time with the observance of so
great a share of order and freedom from
personalities or offensive language. Ho
had endeavored most impartially and hon
etly to fulfil the duties of the Chair, and
if, in tho excitement of the moment, lie had
been led to use any abrubt languago to
gentlemen, ho humbly apologized. Ho
regarded this Convention as having in its
destiny not only the permanence of tho
Democratic party, but the question wheth
er these great United States should con
tinue and endure. Ho would not, howev
er, relinquish tho hope that the Union
would coutiuuo on to eternity, and he felt
confident that tho Convention would ad
journ to day with tho determination to do
all in their power to restoro harmoay and
confidence.
Mr. Brent, of Baltimore, extended a
cordial invitation to tho Uemooraey ot the
, ccders' Convention becauso thoy did not

S&" Tho power of musie is never better
felt than when some old ballad, forgotten
for years, is heard again, and a host of
tho souvnirs rush in upon tlio memory, it
is then, as ono little soug evokes tlice rec
ollections of the pasttbat we feelthat rntl
sic is indeod a mighty and an almost om
nipotent magician.
