(We reproduce the following in teresting little story from the K>e eeiMlMr Itutue o f the Wluthrop Col lege Journal, written by a < aiudeu girl : ) It wa? a cold, dreary November day. The heavy, leaden sky shut out the cheering gleam* of the sun, and the rain fell with th* monoto nous, ceaseless drip characteristic of November rains . On ?uch days, I usually spent a happy time alUlog before a great, fire dreaming pleas ant dreamt of the future. Today, however, the flrealde did not offer its uuual charms, and I wandered almleaaly about the houtffe, aeeklng Home occupation to pass away the dreary hours. Nothing teemed to aatlsfy. From my book to the pia no to letter writing, I drifted, but gave up each oue In turn aa hope let*. At la?t, my auut, disturbed, no doubt, by my restlessness, brouKht me the keya to the varloua drawers and trunka In the old attic, and suggested that, perhaps, I would there find something that would intereest me. The attic waa an old friend of mine, with w^o I had spent mauy a pleasant hour. Each time 1 aought Its company, It brought forth some interesting relic of the past to a muse me, and charmed me with ma ny an old tale of my ancestQrs. 80, hoping that today It would prove as Interesting as 'ever, I went up to have a chat with it. For an hour or so, I rummaged among the old articles theree: hoop-skirts and bonnets of my grandmother, gorg eous brocades of some belle of by gone days, letters and books belong ing to some grandfather While 1 was putting a dress back Into the trunk of my great great grand-mo ther, Betsy l'an, my hand happened to press against something . ground and hard. To my utter amazement, the whole bottom of the trunk rose up several Inches, revealing under neath a secret space, where, neat ly pnt away ? evidently by the own er's hands ? ? were a crumbling wreath of flowers, a creamy white dress, and a locked diary. This visit was, Indeed, an interesting one, nay, became positively exctllng. Eagerly I took the book from Its hiding place, thinking to find in it some explanation of the secret. On the fly leaf was Inscribed: "Ellsa hath a t wnnH l'an: Her Diary." Trembling with eagerness, 1 hur ried . down to my favorite window seat in the library, and there, curl ing up snugly, began to reead my precious "find:" ? " 'O little book, I'm in such a flutter, I can scarcely y find the time to tell you my wonderful news. Just think, little book, I, little insignificant Betsy l'an, have been chosen to be chleef flower girl In the grand celebration to be giv en when Marquis de Lafayette vis its Cameron. And I'm to have the honor of presenting marquis him self with a beautiful bouquet - of flowers. And that night I am go ing to the great ball? -though mo ther says I'm too young. Oh, I Just know I shall have a most ex citing adventure, for it 1b all like a fairy tale. 44 'Two days later.? Everything is coming on beautifully., Mother has had the lovely embroidered muslin, that Captain Rogers brought me from far-away India, made for me to Wear in the procession. And 1 am to have a wreath of roses in my hair, and am going to carry a great bunch of -them. And a most beautiful white brocade has been ordered from Charleston for my ball dress. It is all glorious, and I am the happiest mortal alive!!' " 'The day of the celebration. ? Little book, I just had to tell you about tt_ all, though I haven't a minute td spare; for it is nearly time to dress for the ball. This morning, mother and Aunt iP'atsy dressed me,- and we drove down to the Square where we were to as semble. Everything waB most beau tifully decorated, and all tHe peo ple were dressed in their nicest clothes; and I felt, oh, so proud be cause I was going to be in it allj After waiting a short while, it seem ed hours to me,- we heard _the drum beating, and I knew that, at last, the great event was to happen. Fi nally, the carriages appeared, and all trembling and fluttering with nervous excitement, the flower girls with me at their head, went forward to meet them. As we went along, I kept saying my speech over and pver, I was s.o afraid I would for get it. At last, we reached the carriages, and going forward I pre sented the flowers and said my lit tle speech, and, strange to say, I wasn't scared a bit. As I gazed at the people around the marquis, I saw *the best looking man 1 have ever seen. His beautiful eyes were Bmiling at me, oh, so sweetly, that I scarcely heard the words the mar quis was saying. Then the flower Jtirls turned around and began strew ng flowers before the carriage. *?-, - When we reached the Square, everybody cheered and clapped and the marquis, bowing and smiling, stood up and addressed a few words to the crowd. Then we went on to the home of Mr. Anthony White, the .mayor, who was entertaining ? the marquis that day. The flower girls were to leave the procession there, hut the marquis made Mr* White bring us in and introduce "us to him. And while we were standing there, laughing and talking, 1 felt some one looking at me, and turn ing, I saw the same handsome young man Whom I had noticed be fore, gazing at me. I blushed and looked away. A few minutes later Mr. White brought him over to where I was standing and introduc ed him to me. HI* name was Jack Courtney, and he was from Virgin ia, the state I like best of all, next to South Carolina, He made a tew gallant remarks, .which I did not hear, I was so excited, and then begged me fo? a rqsebud from my wreath, saying: "Now, don't you think it unfair to give the marquis a whole armful and not give hit companion a single one?" Again, I blushed (I am so silly) and told him that I ' couldn't give him- -any from my wreath, for I hud promis ed it to tome one, but. perhaps, if I Haw htm that night, I might give him one. Thou it wan time to go, and ho. accompanying me to the door, reminded mo not to forgot tpy promise. As ir I could forgot it. And, now, little book, it's al tnsto time to go to tho hall, aud 1 ahall see hlin there!' *? 'One week lator. ? Little book, tho grandest event of my life, 1 am sure, has passed; but it has not euded by any means, listen, while X tell you a secret: I'm engaged I shall tell you all about it. That night I weut to the ball, aud who should ask me for ttho first set but Mr. Courtney. While we were dancing, he again reminded me of my promise, and I told him that I would give It to him at the end of that dance. When it was euded, k? took me off to a little secluded nook on the veranda, and there we talked until auother set wan over. That night I danced five other sots with him ? five whole bliMsful time#. After that, mother made me promise not to dance again with him, for people were beginning to remark about Mb attention to me. ' The noxt day, /mother made me rest, and would not let me go to any of the fubtlvltlos, naylng that 1 was too young to dissipate so much. She let me go to the fox hunt tho negt morning, however. Billy Car ter was with me, and Mr. Courtney was with that flirt, Helen Carring ton; that 1b, he started out with her. Hilly and I kept In the lead close l>chtnd the hounds, but his horse fell when we jumped a fence, and sprained a leg. Billy made me go on with Colonel Carter, so that | wouldn't lose the load. After a while, i hoard some one riding hard tndiind me; and, looking a round, I Baw Mr. Courtney, spurr ing up to my side. We all rode along together for a while, until, somehow, Jack and I got separated from the rest. We seemed to for get ull about the fox and hounds, and everything, we were bo busy talking to each other. And, then, Jack told mo that he loved mo; that ho had loved me since the very first time his eyoB behold me. And when he asked If I could not return his love a little, 1 couldn't help tellng him the truth. And bq we wore betrotthed. Jack left that afternoon, promising to return the following week. . And this 1b tho following week, and he will Boon be here.' " Add that was the last entry. But, turning to the end of the book, 1 found a few more llnoB, written in a more mature hand: " 'Poor Jack never returned. A few weeks later, t heara that ho had, been Belied with a fever and had died. And, though that sad ground In my heart has long sine? healed, and I love Billy more than any girl ever loved her fiance, some how 1 like to cherish the memory of my first love. 1 am going to put the diary that contains the his tory of that love, the dress 1 wore When first 1 saw him, and the wreath of roBes, deep down In the ?ecret hiding place of my trunk, and keep them always. * Master Caleb Whitnker EnterUUnH. >? ??. ?*'??- .
