It was under such circumstances that my heroine took leave of her once happy homestead, a small grove of noble ."chestnuts" threw its kindly shade over \) a house of modest elegance, sheltered frotu the fierce beams that darted from the South; the weary wayfarer gazed on it with a longing eye, as a nest of domestic comfort, and in that spot, the dearest household charities had flourished; it was the home of a widow and an only child, but *n awful visitant was th^re. Death had laid bis icv baud on the belorcd parent, tor Tiuie had sounded his last note, the moment so xnnch dreaded had arrived, aud poor "llelen" yielded to the overwhelming might of the stroke; it was many months before she was again able to participate in tWbasincss and cares of life, longer still before she could comprehend the satire change which had taken place p in the circumstances which surrounded her, the young orphan, awakened at last fixm'a long slumber which she had by paTiVTuT dreams.

She was now but "Sixteen," that sweet period of woman's life, \fter a long but agreeable iournev durin" which shn was fortunate enough to meet with a very congenial party, consisting of an elderly gentleman, a young girl, and a knight, whose appearance and "savior Jaire,'' clearly evinced that he held some promiuet position, anl on introduction, one could at once perceive that lie had at least deposited in his '4 arcana" such treasures, as to render him an acquisition to any court, and to improve all who should be favored with his society. lie was not handsome, but his form was commanding and his projecting brow suggested superiority over the generality of men ; his compressed lips affirmed that determination of character, which intimacy afterwards confirmed; he bore the romantic title'of "Clarence Tracy;" his sister Coralie, was evidently several years his junior; sho was a brunette, her features quite pretty and manners coquettish, yet not wanting in maidenly reserve, her conf?llP.f tn woe ) mn ?1 r I Pn 1 nnfiAt. paling as it were, his every desire; the - patriarch of the party possessed a noble mien, bat the traces of a sad life were indelibly written on bis brow, and when exoited by mirth ho appeared as sunshine and tears.

T? m.f?rtv nnd di trpsa were suffi - *' r..wv c ent reasons for leaving South Carolina, a few families or connections, we imagine, of its white population, would now be in it. We liuve ail suffered sorrow and bereavement loss of proper ty, and temporarily at least, the loss of liberty. IJut there is a feeling that keeps some of us at home, a deep religious feeling. It mhat we who are strong should remain here upon our native soil, and help to bear the burdens of those that arc weuk. It is that we who have survived the war, should build tip our waste p1: ccs around the graves of th sc, alas! who perished, and left their loved relatives to the protection of our laws and institutions such as it is our duty to strive to make them. It is because this is our country, arid it shall not be taken from us. It is because the gl?>ry of life is often but the halo of its sufferings, arid because that material pros . . 1 penty which we so persistently confound with true felicity, too often proves a delusion when attained, and turns, like the apples of Sodom, into ashes in-our grasp. It is because there is a solid satisfaction in remaining at the post that God has assigned us, in striving humbly to do our duty, until called by our Almighty Father's voice to a happier home in Heaven Such are the sentiments that tie many a strongman to South (Volina, w!io>c nobility of soul aud strength of character, did he leave his native State, would insure him some measure of success anywhere.
