"I met the Wile and groom, Mr.
and Mrs. Evann, <m Maiu afreet, guiU!
fr'he looked tune., ImsI aan't at ali pretty.
What eould he have seen in her to attract
hitu? I can't nnderata-wd it. Ev.
crybody thought <*e would marry
<lertie Graves, ho was so attentive to
her. Van sure ske loved him, and Gertie
is very pretty and sweet." t^uite
out of breath, Itella tossed her hat and
gloves upon the piano, mud throwing
herself into a careless position ou the
lounge, awaited a reply.
Aunt Sue, who was sewing *t the
w'ndow, smiled at holla's remark, and
then concluded to answei lior query
by a story. She therefore vaid, quietly,
as she went on with her long seanr.
*'I don't kaow, bulla, but you may
have explained ike reason of Have
Kvaus' choice iw confessing your surprise
at it. You say his bride is nice
looking. Xow, although Gertie
Graves may be a very pretty aud
sweet girl, as you say., I am sure that
adjective would .never accurately describe
her. 'Nice,1 means neat, orderly
and cleanly, and Geulio is neither
cleanly nor neat.1'
4tWhy, Aunt Sue, what do you
mean?" and holla's brown .eyes snapped,
while the Mgirls," her two sisters,
looked at one another over

stood Aunt Sue, and thought she had
taken a very good lemt and illustration,
for the sermon fclsey were sure '
she was going to preach to careless
i loll a.
"I will tell you a matter-of-fact ertory,
llella, that is litter-ally true, and
then perhaps you may judge better
what I mean.
" When I was a young gir?l about
your age,1 she began, "I was one of
Yhe most careless n*>4 untidy persons
you can imagine. It never mattered
very much to me whether tny bed was
made, or whethcprny room was fit to
he seen 11 wo ugh the day or not. As
for putting away or hanging up my
.dresses and clothing at night, that I
never thought of doing. My things
were tossed upon chairs, or lay in little
white heaps on the floor, in any
spot where I last happened to stop out
of them. You may imagine, therefore,
that they never looked very
smooth or.fr.cM4i when I put tlsem on
/ in the morning.'
As she spoke, aunt glanced at the
.elaborately trimmed overskirt. and
knife-plaited ruffles of the rumpled
?i lk suit iiei J a had curled herself up in
oh the lounge.
"Of course I liked to he well dressed
when I went out, and 1 had nice
clothes, and was not an altogether
plain looking girl, although yon may
not think ?o now. Hut I never
thought of'taking care of my wardrobe,
and I never cared, to look neatly
dressed at home.
.1 "Anything would do for breakfast
I used to say; and so in the morning,
iny curls were usually crumpled together
and tucked under a net, my
collar soiled, my slippers burst at the
sides or down at the heel, and my
wrapper torn. Altogether I presented
anything but a nice appearanco in

'Well, the year that I was eighteen '
I went to tlie seaside to spend the
summer months with a friend of mother's.
S'lie had daughters about my
age, and ottered to chaperone me that !
reason, because mother could not accompany
nc. ^
"I was eager to visit a watering
place, ot course, and that nothing
might lui wanting, a complete new
wardrobe was made for me. Kvery
article was pretty and fashionable. H
Besides thn, I bad a beautiful dressingcase,
furnished with everything suitable
for the toilet, a large new Saratoga
trunk, and many little things that had
boeo bought to make my room pretty
and attractive.
"The houoo at which we boarded
was a large old-fashion building, with
a piazza running all around it 011 every
floor* Our rooms opened upon the
first piazza, and were all connected by
doors. There were a great manv vis
itors that ueaaon, and as servants wore
scarce, Mrs. Hamilton, the lady 10
whose care I had been placed, told our
hostess that the young ladies oC law
party would attend to their own
rooms.
"I was not pleased with this arrange- ,
meet, for I hated the care of the room;
but I did not trouble uiysel( much
about it. i had too many enjoyments
outside, to allow this responsibility to
worry me.
"There was a very pleasant and merry
company at the old seaside house
that summer, and such boat rides, and
baths, And drives, and parties as we
hud, would have satisfied the most exacting
pleasure seeker, livery day
eetned only more joyous and happy
thaw the last. To us, then ? to me, at
least?-the whole world was couloir de
rote, and the future as well as the piesen
t had all the glory of a golden age.
"Mrs. Hamilton's son, aud two ot
tiiia college friends, Dr. Grayson and
Prof. Blanc, came down to the shore
towards the last ol the season. It was
not long be tare one of these two became
to inn tho 'one only, for whoso
attentions I cared.
"fie was a young man from New
Kngland, and possessed all the b*?t
characteristics of his race. Thoruglily
gentlemanly in his appearance, nfnnners,
and dress, talented, well educated,
exquisite in his tastes almost to
fastidiousness, bo was, withal, a person
of most excellent character, and being
fine looking, besides, it is no wonder
that I was attracted to him. He was
several years my senior, but that only
gave additional eclat to my conquest;
few it was very soon noticed that
among all the 3'oung ladies at the
bouse, X was apparently the favorite of
the elegant professor.
"My wardrobe, as I have said, was
new and fresh, and I was not so plain
looking xs you may suppose. My
wrinkles were dimples in thr>se days,
and my eyes wore as bright as Holla's,
and I did not w-esir glasses then. In
short, I suppose I was quite a he'lle.
"Hut dresses, however pretty and
fashionably mado^will not stay pretty,
and whole and fresh, if not taken care
of. More than this, a bcaulul face is
of litite accoant when set in a frame of
tossed and dowdily-done-up hair. It
was not many weeks before my careless
habits told upon my appearance
Mrs. Hamilton and tho girls, or some
friendly lady who took an interest in me
would now and then in company pin
op uiy gathers, smooth out my ribbons,
or pull off some loose braid from
ray urwHH hkiil.
"Finally it became the habit of the
Hamilton girla, and therefore a matter
of course, to look me all over before
we went to ride, or down to tho parlor*,
lout I should lose some article of
attire, and call a blush to their cheeks,
"I remember that once I was very
much mortified, when the professor
handed me a fearfully soiled collar that
had come ofl my sack, and which I
was obliged to acknowledge was mine.
Even I, thoughtless ah I was, had hesitated
about putting it on in the morning?and,
girls, always remember that 1
when a collar is indoubt, it is? i

lirty.
"It I had only settled that point
roperly when I stood before my glass
11 the morning, I should not have
jeen stung with shame when Miss
Grayson exclaimed, as tho professor
inked toi its owner, and held it towards
her:
"'IMoase don't imagine 1 would
wear a collar like that!'
"Our rooms, as I said, opened on a
long piazza, which commanded a tine
view of the sea. The piazza was conae^ivently
a favorite promenade.
"You may imagine that my room
was noi in a lit condition to be seen by
the pionveuaders as thuv passed the
long windows, wlieu I te'l you that
sometimes for two or three days I did
not make my bed. I would just throw
the counterpane over the sheets, and
'make it do.1
"The contents of my dressing-casr
and trunk usually littered the mantel
and chairs and floor. Of course 1 could
have droppeed my curtains, hut generally
my carelessness was loo inveter
ate to remember even that cheap ex pe
dient.
"Mrs. Hamilton once kindly spok<
to me about my habits, but 1 received
her counsel so ungraciously that she
concluded to let me do as 1 pleased. St
my room continued in its condition o
chaos?ribbons, slippers, faded bou
quota, shells, mosses, sen weed, anO
garments of all descriptions hopelessly
jumbled together.
"The rooms ol the Hamilton girh
joined mine, and their habits wen
very meat a.ud orderly. Natunillv
J J
fouml their apartments much pleasant
er than my own room, ami used to sii
with them most of the time when W4
were not ?ril4i the other guests. '1XH<
girls occasionally came in to my del
and picked up my dreary scatterings
and put me in order for Sunday. 1> 111
Monday morning would find me al
'odds and ends' again. Some how m)
things wouldn't'stay fixed/1 used U
say.
''The weeks flow on golden wing:
after Prof. Plane became my dailj
companion; and when the season drev,
near its close, my Iv^art was mine n<
longer. He was the one in whom .
iouud all that was noble, and good
and great, and my thoughts am
dreams weie all of him.
Ah yet there had been only the iu
terchange ol pleasant thoughts, am
those delightful attentions that seem l<
mean so much. Like all modest maid
ens, I dreamed, and hoped, and waitec
for the words that would he the ful
fillmewt of what my heart desired.
"Words came, but they were no
the words for which I waited, no
were they spoken to me. 1 overbear*
them, and they changed my whole lil<
and character.
"I was sitting in the summer hous<
in the hotel grounds, alone, at dusk
one evening, whero I had gone, hop
ing soon to be followed, when, comim
slowly down the walk, I heard tin
steps ami voices of men. I did no
care for the companionship of two, s<
I gathered the folds ol my dress had
into the corner, hoping the gentlemen
wovid pass on and not notice mo
They paused, however, among tin
shrubbery at the entrance, and I, in
stead ol making my presence kiwwi
sat qnito still and listened.
44 'I suppose I may congratulate you
too, then ?'
"It was Dr. Grayson's voice thai
spoke.
" 4No, not in that way. I shall nev
er marry a woman who oHoods al
my ideas ol neatness and nicety.'
"The professor's voice uttered these
words, and my heart fairly stood still
14 4 But if you love her as you say,
urged the doctor.
44 4It would not continue. When
love has roason to blush for its idol
the homage cannot last. Tho woman
I marry must be as neat as her heart
is true. So should every one he, ]
take it, who calls herself a ladv.'
41 T>ut, Iilanc, are you not carrying
this too far, and making it of more importance
than it deserves ? There if
reason in all things. I don't hoc much
in this,' and the doctor's voice man a
trillo impatient.
"'No,' returned the professor, calmly.
4Tho point is this: natures like
hers and mine are antagonistic?after
a fashion. I am, by habit and nature,

" 'You aio harsh and cruel in the
way you argue. Don't you expect to
Baorilice something? Don't you
know men always grow particular the
longer they remain unmarried V All
young girls, I take it, are careless; and
it she suits you in all other ways, and
you love her, you are foolish to give

The Address ol the Stale Democratic Coiuniittee.
At a mecUng <d the. State Central
Executive Committee ol the Democratic
party, held in Columbia oil
Thursday, the Glli instant, the following
address to the people ol the State
was unanimously adopted and ordered
to he published:
Tllli A I >1 >11 l?SR,
lo the People aj'Mouth (la vol inn:
The State Central Executive Committee
ot the Democratic party do not
deem it necessary to publish any
lengthy statement ol the reasons which
induced llieiu to meet at this time. It
is Hullicicnt to say that events with
U.l.b.l. ll.n i.. i... -
**m> w vm- jivojmv vfl cut; i -?i m,0 iii 15 pjllll"
fully tamilliar, made it indispensable
that ibe organization of the Democratic
party in Souih Carolina should be
revived, as the 8]>eedie?t and most
practicable means of bringing together
our hitherto scattered forces, and ol
concentraiting thviu in the struggle into
which we are X'oreed lor the maintenance
ol Liberty and Law in the
Slate. Thus it lias become the duty
of the Siate Committee to take such
steps as will enable the people of the
State to begin the work of party reorganization
at once, and make it thorough
and complete.
In the contest in which we are about
to engage wo must win. Defeat cannot
be borne. Success, however, canu?*t
be expected to crown our labors
unless there be absolute unity in the
Democratic party, together with such
discipline as wild en mi re the prompt
and eilicieul execution ol its policy
when declared. From our adveisar:es
must we learn, at last, the lesson
of organization ami activity. When
the agencies on which society relics
lor the conservation ol its varied inteicsts
menace those interns with destruction,
and threaten a whole people
with ruin, politics are no longer
a matter ol seuUmeut in which the cilixeu
is free to engage or not, according
to his tastes. Ipon the management
of our political affairs depends
the security of property, as well as the
safety of person. I ?y political movements

Slate (icvt'i11111?*111. be accomplished.
Only through political instrumentalities
can honesty, fidelity and capabllily
regain a preponderating influence
in the councils <>i the State. To politics
then, lor ihciir own salvation, must
the peop'e ol South (aroliiia now address
themselves with the vigor, the
persistency and the systematic endeavor
which mark their conduct in businesw
life. It would not be wise to declare
a policy bo I We the party, which
shall give effect to it, is ready tor both
deliberation aud action. The ofticers
imiHt not bo chosen until the rank and
file ol tiie political army shall have
been mastered in and trained. There
should be, in line, such organization in
each ward, township and county, that
when the State Convention shall hhassemble,
it shall represent, by
its delegates, tbe known wishes,
opinions ami purposes of tbe
Organized Democracy of the State,
Then will its voice be the voice of the
peep lit; its determination I heir's; its
fight their battdo. To such organization,
searching and far-reaching,
i should the people ol the State without
delay address themselves. Without
it the State cannot be saved!
The State Convention, when it shall
assemble, will determine authoratively
the policy of the party; and by the
decision of the Convention shall we all
be bound. As, however, the Demo,
