The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1892-12-07

In the December number of The
Atlantic Monthly Mr.. Crawford
brings his serial story, "Don Orsino"
to an unexpected and striking close
and in the final passages 'of his
novel tells us that in his hero we
see a sketch of the young man OF
the transition period in Italian,
life. He intiamtes that this in the
end Of his series of hist ries of the
Saracinesca family.
The chief attraction this number
is a collection of letters that James
Russell Lowell addressed to w. J.
Stillman. which are very delightful
reading,-full of the genial, sunny
disposition, and the quick touches
of humor and feeling which were so
characteristic of the man.
Frank Bolles, whose volume, The
land Of the Lingering Snow" has
given him place among the keen
est observers of nature, has a sketch
entitled "Alone on Chocorua at
Night" and Edward Everett Hale's
graphic papers on "a New England
Boyhood" are continued, and are ~
interesting as ever in their intimate
personal sketches of men and land
marks of cd Boston days. In q
travel sketch, "a Morning at Ser
mione," Ellen Olney Kirk describes
the quaint old Italian town where
Catullus once had his country villa.

heard year and a half before on his last
visit to the dear old farmhouse.
The voice was also heard by the wounded
man and praying girl.
"Father" said Albert, starting up and
leaning on his elbow.
"Father!" cried Lille, springing to her
feet Then, for the first time, Colonel
Mason's presence was discovered "Oh,
Observation-Disclosures! she cried, fiinging
her arms about his neck Mr.. Neff en-
tered, and, for moment, stood gazing in
amazement.
"Wall, declar, what do It all meanp' he
. finally gasped
Explanations were soon made and Mr..
Neff told how that he had come near to
Pittsburg Landing hoping to see his son,
and that he learned that he was wounded
and got some very nice soldiers to show him
to the place. Upon examination of Alberts
wound Luke was soon satisfied that it was
not necessarily fatal. But it was evident
that Colonel Morgan was dying, and could
live but a few hours at most. He was still
strong, however, and told them that he was
shot on the second day when the fighting
was almost over. He had fallen back sew
eral hundred rods from the enemy and was
riding along ridge when single rife shot
rang out from the bushes on his left and he
fell pierced in the breast by bullet.
"MY boy, my brave Jasper, made his es-
cape, trust. Ihope, Colonel Mason, if ever
you meet him YOU will be as kind to him as
you were to my daughter when you protect
ed our home from the recruits. He and
Elsie are all have unless unless"
Sunless what" asked the Colonel.
1.-THE other one be living"
"Of whom arc you talking. What other
one do you mean, Colonel Morganp Luke
asked, knowing full well that the man had
not long to live, and that whatever he had
TO say must be said Immediately.
81 once had child two years older than
Jasper. But when an infant-a mere in
fant--the child was stolen from me-" He
broke down and wept, as recollections Of
his less came to the dying man. "Ahi if l
could but know that he was alive, and had
been trained to be an honorable man,
could die happy"
"Massa Morgan, l kin tole ye," said
-Backhawk, at this moment stepping for
ward. Thu words Of the dying man had
melted the stony heart of the African.
"Who are you2" asked Mr.. Morgan, gax-
ing at the negro as if he had never seen
him before.

Luke asked his guide several more ques-
lions in regard to the wounded men and
Lille, but Blackhawk seemed to have sud
denly grown morose, and either answered
by negative grunts or sullen silence.
For some strange, incomprehensible rea-
son, Colonel Mason found himself nervous
and trembling 1t seemed as if the vail OF
the past was about to be lifted, and he was
to gaze upon what he had so longed to see.

CHAPTER XVIII.


A solitary tallow candle dImly lighted the
dingy apartment, bringing only into partial
relief the objects within. At the rear Of
the cabin, half concealed by the fitful
shadows, were two miserable couches, on
each of which laya dark form. A female
knelt at one while another sat upon stool
near by, her face buried in her hands
Leaning against the wall was sabre IN its
scabbard.
The footsteps Of the Colonel and his at
tendant were unheard, and he had reached
the center of the room unperceived. A low,
earnest prayer was being offered up by the
girlish form kneeling - the couch. The
awful solemnity of the occasion awed even
the man who had grown accustomed to
death and carnage The voice he heard was
of the being whom he loved, and had loved
since his boyhood days. She was the angel
who had visited his dreams and whose
prayers for his safety had seemed more in
vulnerable than armor Of steel. She was
uttering prayer for dying man, Colonel
Morgan, the fiery Southerner, while his
daughter sat by his side weeping. Some
how Luke dared not break that awful
silence.
The sound Of horses feet were heard

the management of Mrs. A. A. Will

mer) of the Mount Nebo Hotel, IS
furnishing good board in pleasant
room, and at attractive tables, for ST.
Is per week. Students can bring
provisions from home which are re-
ceived at the market price. Every
young lady may, if she desires,
perform some labor which
will reduce considerably the expense
of her board.
About three hundred thousand
dollars have been bestowed by the
Benevolent upon the grounds, build
ings, Library and endowments of
Maryville College. The annual in
terest on this amount at six percent
is eighteen thousand dollars. A
share in this great gift is offered
freely to all. The youth who will
come and receive it. The noble lives
inspiring examples, ardent prayers,
and untiring labors, of President
Anderson, Profs. Hoyt, Bartlett,
Lamar, Crawford and others, have
left, in the high character and sa-
cred traditions of the College still
more valuable inheritance. These
treasures ought to attract from the
nineteen districts of Blount County;
from the neighboring counties, and
from the world a throng OF youth
who should press toward to avail
themselves of so great advantages,
| All classes are welcome. There are
no treasures like those of wisdom.
There are no riches like those Of the
mind. The low tuition paid is but a
small part Of the cost of the students
privileges. 1t is mostly free gift.
Education doubles the happiness, the
usefulness, and generally the materi-
al prosperity of the student. Par
ents owe it to their children, to
themselves, to the church and to the
world to enrich the rising generation
withthese great advantages.T The time
for each youth is short. A little
effort and self-denying now by par
ents will confer unrending benefits
upon their sons and daughters.

columns of the Boston Globe in reference
to the youngest soldier in the war of the
rebellion. w. T. Rockwell of Milton Falls,
n. H., claims to be the youngest soldier
under arms. He enlisted twice at Troy,
this state, but on account of being so
young was sent home. On the 18th of Feb

mont regiment and was mustered into
service the 22d of the following March.
He was discharged in December, 1865. He
