sobbing almost prevented her speaking,)
"My son. be a goOd boy, and take good care
Of your little sister. We shall meet soon in
heaven. Farewell" The heart-broken youth
kissed his mother perhaps for the last time,
and left. The scene was too much for my

the night watches raise their manacled hands
to heaven in sincere, heartfelt devotion for

arises in the morning, and before starting for
