Hale and Andre.

The name of Nathan Hale-unfortu-
nately too little familiar to the present
generation-revives the memory OF
noble act of -forgetfulness. That 1t
made its impression in the days of the
Revolution, wherever the circumstances
became known, we are assured by some
thing besides tradition; and since that
time it has never failed to touch the
heart or excite the admiration OF writers
who have had occasion to repeat the
story Jared Sparks, the historian, after
describing, in his 90 Life and Treason of
Arnold" the unhappy business and fate
of Andre, recalls the youth In the Amerl-
can camp who met similar death be-
fore him, and pays a grateful tribute to
his character Where" he asks, IN
closing, sis tn = memento of the virtues,
the patriotic sacrifice and the early fate
of Hale? It is not inscribed IL marble;
it is hardly recorded in books. Let it
be the more deeply cherished IN the
hearts of his countrymen. Nor less APP
preciative is the earlier remembrance of
President Timothy Dwight, who refers
to him as the Upright and generous 7"
Hale, and in the common epic of that
period thus describes his tastes and qual.
tiles
With genius living fame his bosom glowed,
And science charmed him TO her sweet abode
In wortI's fair path his feet adventured far,
The pride Of peace, the rising grace Of war;
In duty firm, in danger calm as even,
To friends unchangng, and sincere to heaven.
Although Hale suffered in the year
1776, and from the centennial stand
point it may appear somewhat late to
bring him to mind, If Is to be noted that
the recollection of his fate was very
strikingly revived four years after, or
just century ago, by the capture and
execution of Maj. Andre in connection
with the Arnold infamy. Should that
event. which in 1850 profoundly inter
ested both Englishmen and Americans,
lead to any expressions IF sympathy
during the present year, or suggest q
historical review or anniversary" of
the episode, the incident of 1776 must
necessarily be coupled with it. The
fortune of the British officer was
in many aspects affecting, but it
did not stand alone. Hardly
had he been captured before
the nearly-forgotten execution of Hale,
as q SPY. was recalled to American Off
GERS, and Andre himself remembered it.
If their cases differed in certain points,
and it was possible for Andre to enter a
plausible justification of his movements,
where Hale had none whatever to plead;
the two victims, on the other hand,
bore this resemblance TO each other;
that both were young officers, believes
by their companions in arms, favorited
with their respective commanders, edu-
Gated, brave, and each anxious to be of
essential service, the one to his sover-
eign, the other to his cause.
From 1850 their names have thus been
closely associated. Their fate was hard
but inevitable, and justified by the
necessary rigor of military law; and for
each and both there always have been,
Fn either side of the swater, many deep
sympathies felt.-HeRTy z. johnson, IN
