Among the distinguished men that fell victims
during the war Of the American Revolution. was
Col. Isaac Hayne, of South Carolina a man, who
by amiabilIty of character and high sentiments OF
honor and uprightness, had secured the good will
and affection of all who knew him. He bad a wife
and SIX small children, the eldest a boy thirteen
years Of age. HIS WIFE to whom he was tendery
attached, fell victim to disease an event hasten
ed probably by the Inconvenience and sufferings
incident to state of war, in which the whole fam
lily largely participated, Colonel Hayne himself
was taken prisoner by the British forces and in
short time was executed on the galows under
circumstances calculated TO excite the deepest com
mseratiOn. great number of persons, both
English and American interceded for his life. The
ladies Of Charleston signed petition in his benaf

Blended knees as suiUors for their beloved father
but all in VAN
During tie Imprisonment of the father, the eldest
son WIS permitted to stay with him in prison Be
holding his only surviving parent for whom he felt
the deepest affection loaded with irons and con.
demned to die, he was overwhelmed with cOnstern.
alton and sorrow. The wretched father endeavOrcd
TO console him by reminding him that the unavail-
ing grief Of the son tended only to increase his
own misery that we came into this world merely
to die. and he could even rejoice that his troubles
were near at an end. Tomorrow, " said he. 81

chains, could not return the embrace OF his son
and merely said to him in reply: Live, my SON
live to honor God by good life, live to serve your
country, live to take care of your brother anu SIS

His son accompanied him. Soon as they came

often called upon his father in terms that brought
tears from the hardest heart.
