11EXKGAHE.
I was born in Ppai, in the province of Ca
talonia. My parents inhabited a small cot
tage in the village of San Klizaria, whero
for generations iny forefaihers had rewtli d.
Some sheep and goals, together with a
couple of cows, were all oar riches. Yet we
were iu want of nothing. Aliout a couple
of acres of good soil enabled us to ni.-c
that was required, and give us a little s; aro
money from t!.e sale of vegetables. K. h
d:y iu'ouglit its accust-uned and constant em
ployment, and each setting sua beheld us
liappy and content.
ly father was now old, his head waslion-
orJ. with hoary locks, and his brow with
the lurrows or -ne.-.d.le age. His chief de
light was t watch the imi,.ri-, Bimbols of
his grandchildren, in which he would fie-
quently engage, or in beiioliling his two
Bons (lnyseifandanelderhr.jther)prosecuting
our 4:4'"r4 To us he would recount the acts
of his ancestors, the first inhabitants of the
villinge. Wlienever he touched upon these
topics, his countenance would assume a sud
den glow, and patriotism appeared in every
aged feature, lie spoke feelingly, anil made
a deep impression np-m our youthful hearts.
Many were the traditions which he repeat
ed, handed dow ti from father to son for a long
series of generations.
In the same viiiiage lived a young man,
the son of the Al-ade. While children we
were intimate friends, but as we grew older
we liecame rivals ami bitter enemies to each
other. We both placed our affections on
the same lovely object, and jealousy soon
ripened into deadly hatred.
One evening whilst returning from a visit
to the fair Pepita, I met with Sandoval (that
was the votinir man's name), hiirh won Is
paMsed between us, a-id a ounel (lor love i
none of the coolest passions) sU(n ensued.
Wo r..iKlit, mill lie fell. In vain I endeavor
ed to raise him from the ground, awl to wi
vey him to the villiage.
44Toinas,' said he,v lt!i his hand jires.sed
upon his side, endeavoring ineffectually to
stop the flow of blood, "your kindness is
r , , . T
useless, for death is upon me. Leave lue to
f j-,. j yourself."

My attentions were indeed unnecessary,
for he had scarcely said farewell, when he
pank back into my arms and expired. How
to act 1 knew not. My desiruciion seemed
inevka'ue, besides the disgrace and infamy I
should bring upon iny family, hitherto spot
less in fame. I was utterly ignorant in
what course to direct my lliglit, unaeipiaint-
eil wi til the route to 3113' foreign Country,
without money, and without a friend. No
time, however, was to be lost. I set off im
mediately, and passing rapidly over the road,
soon gained the national high r-jad, and in
the course of tine arrived at the French
frontier. As I was wandering onward,
rV anJ exljausted with my j.mrney, I
tJ1J , . T

perceived a troop of horses approaching. I
cast a wistful glance toward them, and could
j,e!p reflecting On my OWD unfortunate
Condition, worn out with hunger and fatigue,
and covered with dust, while they were care
less, happy, well mounted, heedless, and
wiiliout anxiety for the morrow.
1 saw that they observed me, and this af
fected me the move. Two of the officers v!:Ls-

fcrnied me that he and his command be-
i lotru'd to the French service, and that my
person had attracted their notice, and
he asked meif I was willing to go with
lUo,n
Aer a Ht.h discourse, I consented, and
was soon initiated into the drill and duti
0f a soldier's life. Without vanity, I may
r:iy that I possessed a tolerably fine appear-

0w; r to thls fect, perhaps, I ob.ained fi:st
" -i 4
share of his confidence and favor. Hy his
interest and exertions, I was promoted in a
short time to a non-commissioned officer,
and in a few years I had the honor of being
intrusted with the regimental color.
Tosoht and myself were the warmest
friends, and the acquaintance of such a man,
the gaycty of a military life, and the perpet
ual change of place, scene, and character,
had almost obliterated from my mind the
thoughts of by-gone days. Yet, notwith
standing this, when the lioi-terous mirih bad
somewhat subsided, when I bad retired to
rest, imagination would plant in forcible
colors the little village of San Eliwuio, and
till more strongly the innocent, ar.d no
doubt disconsolate Pepita. Dut the morning
carne, and with its cares, duties and pleas-
ures, banished the musings of an uuhappy
man.
The day of battle was near, the clouds of
night were dispersing, and the morning was
to prepare u.s more fully for the engage
ment. The morning came, the battalions
were reviewed, the lines were formed, and
the terrible conflict commenced. Tosola did
all that bravery could do. Twice I saved
him from the Steele of the foe, but in vain ;
his days Wiere numbered, and he died glori
ously. We were maddened at the sight,
charged furiously, and the day was ours.
My conduct had not lcen unnoticed by tho
Colonel. He liestowed great encomiums 011
my valor, and I was promoted to a sulud'cn.
It will be unnecessary to deseWoc how, by
good fortune and hard fighting, I was finally
made a captain B,,'t placed in command of
the verv company in which I had been en-rY-.'.'ed
by my friend Tosola. My misery
now drew on apace, for the greatest elevation
of fortune can never secure one against a
reverse. Nay, the sunshine of our life is
generally a forerunner of clouds nnd storms.
A few 111011 1 lis after my promotion began
the war lietwcen France and my native
country. Napoleon f. was on the French
throne, and Europe was reeling beneath his
blows. We marched immediately to tho
frontier, nnd into the province of Catalonia.
Need I say with what a heavy heart I olicyed
the orders of my general ? Hut a soldier
must follow wherever he is led, the com
mand is imperious. Happy are thev who
fight only against unjust enemies, the op
pressors of their country. Hat what were
my feelings, when we were ordered to pro
ceed to the district where I was lmrn ! Even
to the village wh-re lived ail that 1 held
Gear in life?
The Spanish troop- were assembled at
some little distance from the village. I was
put at the head of a command, with orders
to encamp near them for the night, and to
reconnoitre their numbers and strength.
This was, indeed, the most miserable night
I ever sjent. My soul was rent asunder. I
felt all the d.solaiion of grief and the wild
Dess of despair. I could not still the remorse
at iny heart. And must I then, I thought,
raise my traitorous arm against the land of
my brave and patriotic ancestors? Against
the companions of my childhood., against my
own blot.Hl? Must I behold my native village
in flames, nnd myself light the torch which
was to consume and destroy it? Unhappy
man, to w hat a state had my first crime re
duced me?
I could not compose myself for a moment's
repose, and looking out 1 beheld the little
old church of our village, and could distin- i
guisli by the light of the moon, iny own j
happy and peaceful home. What recollec- ;
tions then crowded iny mind and harrowed
up my soul with the keenest sensations. j
I threw a clonk over iny shoulders, and j
with feelings which it is impossible to de- ,
scribe, wandered over the well-known scenes
of my Idiyhood. With what emotions I
traversed the little green where I had spent j
the innocent and only happy days of my life, !
I shall not attempt to express. 1 arrived j
undiscovered at my father's cottnge. There J
he was, little altered from when 1 left home, 1
surrounded by the most valiant youths of j
the place, who, regardless of repose, were
keeping their vigils, and prepaiing for a
stubborn defence.
I was on the point of rushing In and
throwing myself at his feet, when the door
opened and my brother came out. apparent
ly with the intcution of carrying some com
munication to the main liody of their little
force. He was passing forward, thinking I
was one of the men, when I exclaimed in a
tremulous Voice :
"Antonio! Antonio!"
44 What, Henito?" he cried, shirting back
in astonishnient. "Our long lost Henito!
Welcome home, though you come at a time
of great peril."
Hi.s words cut me to the heart. I could
not speak, but threw open my cloak, that
the sight of my uniform might save me the
painful expression.
"Ha! is it so?"' he said with deep agita
tion. "Henito a Frenchman? Impossible!
Forbid it, heaven ; but it must have leen to
escape suspicion. Speak, relate what has
befallen yon, since you so suddenly left our
village. Say, why this disguise?''
"Oh, my brother!'" I replied, "this is,
indeed, no disguise. My fate is hard. Hut
but," I continued, choking vviui emotion,
is Pepita yet alive?"
"No," said he, "but thy country still
lives strike fur her."
"Antonio," I replied, "it inuut not be. I
belong to France. I have served long, been
treated well, and sworn allegiance to the Ei i
peror. I cannot bear my poor father's
looL. 'fell him cautiously of my misfor
tunes and my grief. Hrother, farewei? and
forever. We shall never meet ag-.'in."
With a mind almost driven to in-anity I
forced myself from hiin and wanJered to the
church-yard ; there saw, and in the insan
ity 04" o'i'-'f worshipped at, the gia'-c of
Pepita, tiie poor, ucar, devoted girl I had
loved and deserted.
As I returned, I could not resist the desire
to h avc another and last look at iny nscd
father. lie was seated as befor?, with my
brother and the other young men around
1 r
mm. 111s eyo were lit up with a suit of ;
frenzied fire, while bis v. nenible licks fell '
over his face and shoulde.s. I ncv.r had
seen him so animated. He v:i exporting
the young soldiers to deeds of valor. His '.
voice was clear and distinct, and hi- wolds j
were expressed with a pathos which might
have moved the culde-t heart. 1 could hear
iny anguish no lunger, so casting a parting I
look through the casement, I hurried away: j
Iiestlesjs and miserable 1 passed the night, j
agitated and lmrrassed by the tt 0i!::uts of
j my duty, the yearnings nnd impulse of aa-
ture, and the love of my country, for though
it may seem a parados, 1 loved her though 1
stooil arrayed in arms agaitt her. Oil '. -uy
remorse was terrible.

knowing what I did. careless of life, nnd
aluindoncd to despair, I looked forward to
death with pleasure. Amid the ranks of the
f?:ifjihiin, I !thId the f. .nil of mv father
laid on a kind of couch, and supported bj
four of his countrymen. My conscience
smote me alm.'st unbearably. We were or
dered t3 charge. I moved instinctively, and
advanced amid the thick fire of my countr3'
men. We fired a volley that is, the men
did. I would rather have shot myself than
fired on my fi tends I may stiy relations.
I looked upon my lieloved father. There
he lay, raised in his couch, his eyes Inclin
ing with nnutterable brightness, his white
hair streaming over his brow, and one hand
pointed in defiance ag'i ist the invaders of
his country. His vole I heard loud above
the tumultuous din of war, encouraging and
bidding his sons and brethren on to victory.
I saw him fix, as I thonght, his unearthly,
bright and glittering eyes upon me, b; it
was for an instant only. He sunk Utck a
luill had struck him in the temple, and l.e
fell Irathed in blood.
My brother rushed to his side ; his dvig
Lands clasped him, and his dying lips bies-ed
him. My brother gazed with a deep f.eiing
upon the enemy, but bis hour had also ar
rived. Another musket ball smfe hi?n on
the breast, and he reeled backward and fell
a corpse on the lifeless Insly of my father.
I uttered a scream of horror, and, turning
ii. y lvoi-si.'u l.-l, frnlliified hca-liong away.
The colonel ordered my men to tire upon
me. They did so, bLt discharged their pie
ces in the air.
For forty years I have wandered over the
world a miserable man. The reeollectiun
of my baseness wi-1 haunt me even to the
grave. Many a time the desire to reii-it my
native village lias been so strong upon me
that I have almost been on the point of put
ting the wish into execution. II.it the n
meiiibrance of my acls Las deterred me. 1
Could not look up n those honest file's again,
and hear the reproach that would justly be
heaped upon my hc.i 1. N , I must die iu
the land of toe stranger, and suil'er the con
sequences of iny actions. My fate is, doubt

There was an interesting legal controversy '
inaugurated at Paw Paw, Michigan, a short
time since, the result of which has not yet
come to hand, though indeed what the ulli- :
mate decision may be is of small moment, as
the affair is chiefly noticeable on account of
Its Illustration or a J.linsc or tin tun ii nature
happily exceptional, while the incidents
leading thereto show a mixture of romantic
attachment on the one side ami sordid av
arice on the other, calculatsd to excite the
curiosity of the philosophic. It appears that
a worthy yotmg gentleman of Paw Paw was
for some time courting a young lady of that
place; and though circumstances compelled
his removal to Chicago, the attachment ron-
I tinned and was fostered by occasional visits
to the lady of his love. These visits gener-
i ally occurred on Saturday, and at such times
he usually remained at tho young lady's
1 home over Sunday.
At one time he was taken suddenly ill at '
Chicago, and having no relatives at either
pla'e, he naturally sought the dwtllii.g of j
his sweetheart, w here Le was kindly recti v- ';
ed and nursed until envious death claimed j
him, and left the expectant bride to grieve j
over her loss. Hut tho full extent, or rather :
the e::act nature of that loss, was not really !
apparent until the departed youth had been
I deposited tinder the sod, when a claim for a
, considerable amount for attendance during
' his sickness, ami more surprising stiil, fur
i lvoard during the period of courtship, was
filed before the Probate .Judge against the
' young man's estte. The suit is brought in
! the name of the girl's father, but though she
, appears simjilv as a witness in the case,
there are peojue j'.ist perverse enough to con
' gratulate the deceased on his escape from
' such a matrimonial noose, even at the ex
pense of his life. i

In the largest anthracite coal mine in tha
State, the care of the engine by which tha
cr.rs for passengers are lowered and hoisted
is placet I in the bands of a Scotch Iriahnisn,
an ordinary fellow enough. The cable, ret es-
j "ly of a grfat weight and thickness, passes

; up to any heroic rapture of resolve, tho as-
cending car (loaded with coal) at on-end of
I the cable, broke, and fell crashing into a
j thousand fragments. He knew that in tha
, next minute the cable, released from the
I strain, -would fly back and fall with crashing
weight on the rickety beams and Hoards of
i the roof. Death was absolutely certain if ha
i did not escape from the shed. P.ut if he took
, his hand from the lever the descending car,
. full of men, must fall on or two hundred
! feet. He had but one instant to face his
death ami theirs, ami to choose between
; them. There was a boy in tha back of tha
shed, the man mctiooed to him with hishead
to go out. Then be tightened bis hold on

with ajar against the ground far lelow; its
