The eventful day' arrived, and, arrayed in the regulation*dress on such an occasion?glos sy black immaculate choker and irreproachable fitting kids?a costume in which I was some what puzzled to make my acquaintance, I took my scat in the carriage beside Mrs. 13 , and was rapidly whirled to the scene of enlivenmont. We did nut attend the ceremony which took place in the church j thoroforo upon our arriv al, tho bride of an hour had already received the congratulations of her friends upon her ac cession to now dignity; Entering the drawing room, from which the daylight had been care fully oxoluded, my CqnfedorAt? oyco-woro-oon> pletely daitalod by the splendid array of beau ty, fashion apd Wealth gathered 'there';' and, for some moments, I imagined that I had been transported to fairy land;. I was, howevor, awakened from this trance, by an exclamation of delight from my companion, and found, my self standing-before an impersonation of grade and beauty, clad in white satin, orange blos soms, illusions, and a dozen other airy nothings, with which tho fair sex arm themselves to stay their unsaspcotiug victims. Collecting my scattered senses, I soon settled down to a "peace basis," and paying my de voirs vrith tolerable composure to the happy couple; gave place to tho eager throng behind mo. Refusing for various reasons, the en treaties of niy friends to be introduced to sun dry damsals of hor acquaintance who wore "pretty and so rich," I retired to a corner, from which observation I became an amused and interested "looker on in Vienna," ? My'eye roved over the brilliant scene, The.'flashmg of JoweKthe! flutter of laces,* ?And odors of tropical ninsk; ' Men and women, Most beautiful faces, And oyes of tropical dusk. mingling witb the Witching blue of tbe North ern-?lhoe, until ntladyltka'a weary bird, it re turned to the figure of the bride and rested there. - Something iu her quiet, dignified, bear ing, and -happy, trustful; face was refreshing to me, and, ahmst ? uncour-ciou-ly, I scanned her whole "person.. What'Btruck ine 'particu larly, as, I inwardly commented on the tasteful elegance of her attire, (for 1 am something of a c?nWisW?r in such matters,) was the ab sence of nil jowcls. Instead of the bridal; pcnrls, a arrrglo "highly burnished star caught at her throat the light fall of lace that covered her neck and shoulders. My curiosity, for I plead guilty to .the' weakness?was aroused to fathom the origin, of a'fancy, for wearing such an ornament on tho most eventful day of a young woman's' life, and musing upon it, thy thoughts took another direction. The camp, the battle-field, the hope'of promotion, and the dawn of a day when X too, wight wear a star, cngrossv^irrino so entirely that'I'forgot timp and place-vond was only arbuspd frpm my reverie by a light touch on my arm, and tho sweet vo^ice of the bride in my car, saying : "I sliu^l not allow you to make statutes iu the corner ahy ionger, Mr. \V:, ff yoVwftftAt join the dancers,' at least do the homage to li'ic.

"Will you bathe my head, as my mother used to do," said be, "and thcu talk to mo?it is so long siucel have'hoard a sweet, low voice, like yours." Taking out my cologiic, I did as be bado mo, talking in an encouragiug, hopeful manner meanwhile, until by degrees ho revived a lit tle, and told mo his history. "I ain a Virginian," said he, and his Wan cheek flushed with prido ; "my home is on tho banks of the Sbcnandoah, and I was one of the first to answer tho bugle note whon our fair Valley was invaded. Jackson was my i leader, and I belong to the Stonewall "Brigade.

Of course all this was not told at once, but at intervals, in answer to my questions. Finally, fearing the excitement would prove injurious, I enjoined quiet and rest, bidding him good bye, with tho promise to return tho next day. For a week, at tho samo time every morning I attended my "Virginia boy," nod my en trance was the signal for a brightoning of the sad, hopoloss eyes. Sitting by his side, with his thin hand olasped iu mine, he would relate many little incidents of his campaigns with Jackson, always dwelling on the famous ex ploits of his adored commander, or else pour fourth a tide of recollections of the mountain home, of the dear old father and mother whose pride ho was, the fair haired sister who so fondly awaited his return?his horse and a dug, and a thousand minor details of the sweot i.-'?-1-t_ i_j :.. l ? i._i>,,, n\fiiiu ii i? ov ucaiijr vtciiauicu tu m.i SwSr*.

Reatl This, Colored Moti. A correspondent of the Macon Journal U7ul Mcsscnaer gives -the..subjoined accouut of a Speech delivered'1 by a colored man," at a Dem ocratic barbecue, in l'ulaski Couuty, a few days Ago: Next followed a colored man by the name of Sherman, who gave, in a conversational, stylo, a most interesting history of his trip to and his. stay iu, Liberia. . He was'not aCall complimentary to the agoots of the'Colonisa tion Society, on account of the meagre supply of provisions .on the voy?go. ?e says they were compelled to subsb t for days on rations consisting of a single.1 cracker and a>pint of water; but whou they reached their destiuation, on ;account of tho many deaths occurring in J their party, their rations were increased to three crackers per day. Ho said he was told by. tho. Colonization Society that, when ho reached Liberia, he would find a species of fruit known as tho bread fruit, growing in great abundance on tho trees?all of wliich ho I found to be true, but neither ho nor any of his party could cat it. Ho says the natives live on snakes, frogs, lizards, or any sort of i animals they" can capture and slay, but they prefer animals that have died, and are in a putrid' state. He said he determined tq leave as soon as ho could provide , himself with money to JJ0.y his passage to. ,New York, which, ho soon obtained, and took ship for Now York, whore he felt confident of meeting many friends. After arriving in the city, he made application j to soino mon on the wharf for work, was told i they did not employ negroes, and driven aWay; ho made several other applications on the wharf, meeting in every instance unkind re pulses. Ho then made application at two car penter shops, from which he hardly escaped with his scalp, lie returned to the wharf iu despair, when he fortunately found a geutle mnn from Savannah, and after having to work for .his food until he could get a situation, ho proposed to work for him in tho same way: he gave him his food, and aftcrwads paid tho till price of his labor, which enabled him to reach Savannah, where he met with Southeru friends, who furnished him means to reach his old home, where he hopes to livo and die, for he says the black man baa no fricuds only in tho South, no advised tho black man to bo peace able and industrious, and be governed by the advice of the people in this country. That slavery at the South, in its worst form, is. better for the black man than freedom at the North. Matrimony. ."Shall I get married ?" is a question which a ?tau often puts to hhrisolf in the present day. Nothing can bo wiser than to mnko it a ques tion; but when a man docs ho should examine and weigh the thing fairly and fully, and riot consider that lie has found a solution to it the moment he meets with'an'Objection to contra venb his wishes. It is not for i is father or his mother, his friends or his books,' that he should ycild to, in a case that W really too groat for their de cision. Hoar them, or road thein,hc may to gather their opinions; but if his own conscience prove stronger than their nrgumPnts, and that his spirit still erics'oait't',marily," why, marry ho should, with due dofcrence to many sapient advisors. * v- ? ?--<??!?/ ^ j . vrltf iuarringBfv deasivablo stateThis is tl^e, tirstquestionv Almost every mad and woman will answer it in jho nmrtnativo.
