SENTIMENTAL AND COMIC SONGS.

An interesting fact about successful
songs may be noted, and that is, only
sentimental SOM make any money.
Humorous songs become very popu-
lar. They are applauded in the the
atre when a favorite singer sings
them, and are laughed at unrestrain-
edly, but very few Of the audience
ever think of buying copies of them.
This is peculiarly true of that des-
cription ofthe humorous ditty known
as the topical song. 1t may be ex-
planned that this is song in which
the material of the. different verses is
arranged to give point to a signifi-
can't phrase which invariably forms
the last line of the verse. The per-
formance practically amounts to pig
Cling with language, the effect COM
ing from the. humorous and unex-
pected illustration which can be adj
duced of the idea embodied in the
adopted phrase.
Given on the stage by an expert
singer, who enforces the points of the
verses by appropriate action and IA
cial expression, these songs are very
effective. Sung in the parlor by an
ordinary vocalist and without the ef-
feet which comes from the assembly
of large number of people, these
songs almost invariably fall fiat. In
consequence they are very seldom
sung there, and the music publishers
who give them to the world find the
world ungrateful, much to the pub
lisher's pecuniary grief. On the 9th
er hand, a sentimental song may be
sung in the home circle by an mex
perienced singer with very fair effect.
Somehow or other the underlying
sentiment survives the most outra-
geous treatment. 1t has better stay
ing qualities than humor has. The
melodies are simple, the thought ex-
pressed find a welcome among all
classes of people, and the sheet music
finds its way to thousands of piano
racks throughout the land; and 80
the publisher becomes happy and
affiuent.

CHAPTER XIII.
TILE LAST HOPE.

We crouched down as we'll as we coI!d
in the tender while passing Ringgold, thai
the enemy might not see Our number, and
when beyond the town we arose and
looked about us. The country was mostly
wooded and rough, being much cut up by
the branches of the swollen Chickamauga
creek. We had no fuel, though we might
have taken on Il few water soaked fence
rails and broken them to burn; but What
would have been the use? Every COM
bustiblc scrap was carefully gathered up
and thrown into the engine. Worst
symptom of all, q large pair of saddle
bags, which we had never seen Andrews
without from the time of the midnight
conference, together with his cap and
some other pieces Of clothing that he did
not need for immediate use, were flung re-
morselessly into the furnace. Various
paDcrs went along. These were probably
documents that he feared would compro-
mise himself or others in case of capture.
Such preparations were indeed omlnous.
But his next communicative last he ever
gave to us as Il party--W;lS more dreadful
still. and for the first time that day there
shot Il pung of mortal terror TO my heart.
Not the crash Of the engine down an en-
bankmcnt, nor the coming OF another
train of the enemy from the north, shut
ting us between two fires, would have
caused such sense Of despair and hope
less misery to steal over me. This was
the order which, as intimated before, our
party. had they been properly organized.
would not have obcycd.
For our situation was still far from dcs-
pcratc. Aside from the capture OF tie
pursuing train, which would now have
been very difficult from the fact that we
had neither fuel for rapid running, nor
the distractions on board that were nee
cssarv to place US far enough ahead for
an ambuscadc, there was another plan to
which our leader was virtually pledged,
which presented every prospect OF saving
our own lives, though it was now too late
to accomplish our original purpose. We
were some five miles beyond Ringgold,
within u mile of Graysville, or nineteen
miles by the longest railroad course from
Chattanooga. from that city westward
to Bridgeport was lwcnty-ciSht miles fur
ther. But the nearest way to bridgeport
was not through Chattanooga, but further
south, and by that route it was not dis
tant more than thirty-1ive or forty miles.
The direct course was ut right angles with
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1888-03-14

afternoon and stormy night, by
incessant journeying, I succeeded in
getting far away from the aban-
doned train; so that when at midday
was captured near Lafayette, Ga, was
more than twenty miles distant in a
straight line, which represented over
double that distance of devious flight.
This would have carried me almost out Of
danger if it had been in northwest di-
rection-but unfortunately it was south
west! I was confined for one day at La
fayette, and then sent under strong guard
to Chattanooga, expecting immediate
death.
My companions Jared no better. With
out food, dreading an enemy at every
house and on every road, and with no
means of directing their footsteps, they
wandered around for longer or shorter
periods Of time, and were at length all
captured. Andrews, with all his marvel
lous skill, was not more fortunate in elud-
ing pursuit than others. No resistance
was offered, for in each case the capture
was made by overwhelming force. With
in q week all but two were secured.
These owed their comparative fortune to
the fact that they started in an eastern
direction, and were therefore less closely
followed. Falling in with some Union
sympathizers, they received valuable aid
and information; and afterward securing a
boat, floated down n small tributary to
the Tennessee river, and then directly past
Chattanooga and Bridgeport. >They sup
posed themselves at lengtlr7to lie out of
danger, and learning that Gen. Mitchel's
forces were in Stevenson, they entered
boldly, only to find that he had fallen
back and that they were in the midst Of
gray coated soldiers! They tried to eXtri-
cate themselves in vain, were arrested,
detected in their disguise and sent back to
Chattanooga, where they found all the
other members of the ill-fated band.
Even the two who had been accidently
left behind at Marietta on the morning of
the chase, were discovered and brought to
the common gathering place at Chatta-
nooga. Our prospect here was most
gloomy and desperate. Captured within
the enemy's lines, without uniforms or
regular arms, we had every reason to al
ticipate the severest treatment. Yet
nearly two months intervened before any
blow was struck-a delay caused probably
by the reference of the whole case to Rich
mond and some apprehension of Federal
retaliation.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1888-03-14

smashed it into kindling. Some blazing
facots were stolen from the engine and
the fire made to burn. The rapid mo-
ton with driving rain was an obstacle ut
first, but as we fed up the blaze and shell
tered it as well as possible, it grew rap
idly, till soon but one could stay on the
car and watch it, and all the others
crowded on the tender and locomotive.
The steam was now gradually shut Off
that we might come slowly upon the
bridge and be able to leave the burning
car Just at the right place. We came to
q full stop at this first Chickamauga
bridge, II large one, and well covered. In
side it was at least drier than on the out
side, and we doubted not that with time
it would burn we'll. The only question
was: "Will that time be given!" We
added almost the last of our oil and nearly
the last stick of wood-knowing that
wood station was not far ahead, and if
this bridge could be made to burn we'll,
we could have all the time we wanted to
get wood and everything else. In fact, we
put life itself on this last throw, and left
ourselves, i'm case of failure, hopelessly
bankrupt. For a considerable time, as it
seemed to us, though it must have been
measured by seconds rather than minutes,
we rpmninpl on the other side OF the fire

LEAVING THE LOCOMOTIVE.

It was pitiful. The General had served
rs we'll ever since the morning hour in
fearful speed and patient waiting, in eX-
ulting raptures and in almost despair. 1t
was hard to abandon her now. She was
substantially uninjured. The engineers,
Brown and Knight, had taken good care
of her, and with wood and oil in abund-
ance, there would have been no difficulty
on her part in completing the run to
Huntsville. She was still jogging along
ut the rate of eight or ten miles an hour,
and could maintain that pace q little
longer The pursuers had also dimin-
ished their speed, so as to just keep us in
sight, having apparently no wish to press
upon what may nave seemed to them like
q wounded and dying lion. The command
to "jump off and scattern was repeated
with the injunction to be quick about it,
as the engineer wished to reverse the en-
gne and drive it back upon the enemy.
With such q reason there could be no
more hesitation. 1t is said that some
three or four had already got off at the
first word of command, but the most of
us had hesitated, not on account of the
still rapid motion Of the train, but in tho
idle hope that in some way this terrible
parting might be averted. Now ono
after another clambered down on the step
and swung off. / was neither among the
first nor the last, and jumping unskill-
fully out from the step, instead of for
ward, whirled over and over Oh hands and
feet for several revolutions. Rising in u
dazed condition, though unhurt, with the
exception of few scratches from the
briers with which the place aboundcd,
looked over the animated scene with tho
deepest interest. The men who jumped
off were, according to instructions, flying
in different directions, q few others were
just coming off the engine in much the
same way that l had done, while the cn-
gneers were attempting to carry out their
scheme OF reversing the engine, which
could do no good now, except possibly to
delay the inevitable pursuit Il little, and
give us II better opportunity to organize
our plans. The brakes of the tender were
put ON still more to diminish speed, and
the reversal was made. Here is slight
conflict of authority. The pursuers say
that the brakes were not loosed again;
but our engineers are equally positive
that they were. 1t is not material, for
the result is the same. The steam power

back it was with moderate velocity, and
l saw the pursuers reverse also, AID
coming to a full stop, whistle two or three
times as it proachcd-ascemingw whistle
of alarm, though there was little in the
approach OF our poor General to fear; and
then they moved slowly before it for Il
short distance till the two were in contact,
when the weaker stopped and the steam
was shut off. The great railroad chase
was over.

FORGOTTEN.


We loved each other dearly
In childhoods happy day;
We twined our hands together
Amid our childish play;
We joyed in gleesome laughter,
Once, DER each others joy;
We smiled and wept together
When we were girl and boy.
Far back through many summers
NY spirit roves tonight,
Amid the fairy dream and
When hopes were young and bright ;
I hear thy voice ,resounding
Along the shady lane,
Isee thy small hand beckon .
Across the meadow plain.
I start! alb, tits vision! g
Full twenty years have past
Since DER the scented meadow
You beckoned to me last.
How changed are we, and changing;
Our hearts are full of pain;
No more the golden gladness
Of youth may come again.
one hour ago I met thee
Amid a merry crowd
And as you coldly passed me,
Ny heart beat high and loud.
We once were friends together;
We loved each other well;
And why you have forgotten
The bitter world may tell!
