Pepita5 the poor, uear, devoted girl | had
loved and deserted.
As l returned, 1 could not resist the desire
to have another and last look at my aged
father. He was seated as before, with my
brother and the other young men around
him. His eyes were lit up with n sort of
trenzied fire, while his venerable locks fell
over his face and shoulders. | never had
seen him so animated. lie was exlurtinr
the young soldiers to deeds of valor His
voice was clear and distinct, and hi~ words
were expressed with pathos which might
have moved the coolest heart | could bear
my anguish no longer, 50 casting a parting
look through the easement, I hurried away.
Restless and miserable | passed the uirht.
agitated and harrassed 10y the II oughts Of
my duty, the yearnings and impulse of Ia
ture, and the love Of my country, for though
it may seem a paradox, | loved her though /
stood arrayed in arms against her. On my
remoTse was terrible.
The sun rose and behcld the contending
parties drawn out against each other. Not
knowing what l did. careless of life, and
abandoned to despair, looked forward to
death with pleasure. Amid the ranks of the
Catalnniorl~, bsheld the form Of my father
laid on kind Of couch, and supported by
four of his countrymen. My conscience
smote me almost unbearably. We were or
dered to charge. l moved instinctively, and
advanced amid the thick fire Of my country
men. We fired volley-that is, the men
did. | would rather have shot myself than
r-rI L I
looked upon my beloved father. There
he lay, raised in his couch, his eyes beam
ing with unutterable brightness, his white
hair streaming over his brow, and one hand
pointed in defiance agiiast the invaders Of
his country. His voice | heard loud above
the tumultuOus din of war, encouraging and
bidding his sons and brethren on to victory
| saw him fix, rs | tlIought, his uncarthly
bright and gIittering eyes upon me, bet il
was for an Instant only. lie sunk back
ball had struck him in the temple, and lie
fell bathed in blood.
My brother rushed to his side; his dying
hands cla~ped him, and his dying lips blessed
him. My brother gazed with a deep feeling
upon the enemy, but his hour had also ar
rived. Another musket ball sm0te him on
the breast, and he recled backward and fell
a corpse on the lifeIes- body Of my father
l uttered a scream Of horror, and, turning
my harea's- head, snIIoped headlong away.
The colonel ordered my men to fire upon
me. They did 50, but discharged their pie
ces in the air.
For forty years 1 have wandered over the
world a miserable man. The recollection
of my baseness viii haunt me even to the
grave. Many time the desire to revisit my
native village has been SO strong upon me
that have almost been on the point Of put
ting the wish into execution. Bat the rc-
membrance of my acts has deferred me. l
could not look upon those honest faces again,
and hear the reproach tLat would justly be
heaped upon my head. NJ, l must die in
the land Of the stranger, and suffer the con-
sequences of my actions My fate Is, doubt-
less, hard; but it IS nevertheless just. May
heaven pity me.

Chester.
When the stout-hearted Massena,
one of Napoleon's most reliable Gen
erals, was besiged at Genoa, he in
dictated to the world how greatly he
esteemed the honor and glory Of his
country by the hardships he was will
ing to undergo rather than surrender
his garrison to the enemy. His
soldiers did not complain if their
napkins were not Away clean. They
loved Stuarts refined syrup on their
buckwheats as well as you and l.
They would gladly have exchanged
their quarters for suite of elaborate
ly frescoed rooms at the st. Nicholas
hotel and, when their table courses
were reduced to an ounce OF horse
hoof per man, no doubt one of Del
monico's game suppers would have
been acceptable but-reader, we
speak solemnly and with upturned
eyes and Ja7ackaded nose-would
those famished heroes have exchanged
their lot for a voters place down in
one of our low studded church cellars I?
Would they have been willing to have
shared the physical discomforts that
are annually entailed upon the voters
of Chester? No, not unless the pre-
ferred stink to pure atmosphere,
phosphate to lavender. 1t were cruel
to stow dry hides in such places as
the citizens of Chester do their vot-

WASHINGTON, d. C,l
r. Onll 1871

Jan. goth, 1874.
Mr.. EDITOR: The good people in
Woodstock need not feel alarmed at
this announcement, as it is ouly a
story, as related to us by Gen. Cling
man. Gen. Clingman says: on my
meeting Judge Collamer, then in the
senate from Vermont, in Dec, 1860,
after a little conversation about the
condition of the country, he said,
"Clingman, I can tell you good joke.
Two or three weeks before I left home,
one of my neighbors, a respectable
farmer, came into my office, and said,
Squire (they always call us lawyers
squire, in my part of the country,)
Squire, do not expect to see you
any more before you go to Washing
ton, and wish to say to you, that
there is just one thing that I want you
to do when you get there. I wish
you to set them negroes free, that is
all | want done "Well," said the
judge, eff we set them free, as they
would be rather helpless creatures,
they ought to be taken care of in
some way 'Oh, yes said the man,
they ought to be helped "And,"
said the judge, Gas the southern peo-
pie will be badly off, | reckon We
ought to take care of the negroes
awhile until they get able to shift for
themselves. Yes replied the man,
we ought to help in the matter, but,
Squire, | reckon our share would not
amount to much 81 have figured it
up" said the judge. "and, according
to the population, the share for our
town would be just five hundred and
thirty-ive. why, Squire, ii acou1d
not be that avoaldH? Yes, have fgur-
ed it up exactly" Judge Collamel
said the man sat with a very serious
countenance for several minutes, then
arose and left the room.
Several days afterwards the man
came in suddenly, esquire, l did not
expect to see you again, but I came in
to-day to bring a load of wood, and
have just come in to say that l have
been thinking about the matter we
talked of, and Ithinh you had better
let them negroes be right achere they
0re."

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.-Frank,
a boy about II years Of age, son Of our
esteemed friend, Stilman French, Esq,
of this town, met with terrible &C
cident on the Sth inst. 1t came about
in this way: His dogs got on the
trail of Il fox he took his gun down,
loaded it heavily with buck shot,
and started for a point where he
thought he could get sight at the
animal. He stood in waiting for Mr..
Reynard to come along, the butt of
his gun resting on the ground, his
right hand on the muzzle and his
left arm crossing it, when, by some
move OF other, the gun, (Which was
probably cocked,) went off, blowing
the charge through the palm Of his
hand and arm. DR.. Sherwin, Of Wood
stock, was called, and finding the
wound Of such q nature that amputa-
ton was necessary, had to return for
proper tools, and he and DR.. Boynton
took off the left arm below the elbow
Joint, and dressed the wounded right
hand, which, we fear, will be but a
wreck at best. Mr.. French has had
much sickness and several deaths in
his family within few years, but this
blow comes upon him with more
crushing force than anything in the
past, and he, the family, and the suffer
ing boy, have the sympathy Of allwho
know them.
