"The Turnpike Sailor."
BY DENNIS &RAFFERTY
Lonely I wandher, a p,or "turnpike sailor,"
Thrust from the dure of the rich man in haste;
"Begone !" sec the man, "you disgrace to the tailor,
For of my rich bounties yell no'er get a taste."
Haggard and wan, on the brink of shtarvation,
Beggin in vain for the dog's extra crust;
Divils don't envy me swate situation,
A meagre subsistince is curses and dust.
From swate Philadilphy to Pittsburg I've thraveled,
Askin for work at each farm house I passed ;
Some shmiled lik angels, whilst others, like divils,
The shovel and tongs at me head faircely cast.
Sayin, "git up and dust, you offscourin of Erin,
• The likes of ye ought to be seven years dead;
1 hope your destruction you soon will be nearin,"
An instid of a pratie threw bricks at me head.
Bad luck to the man that invented the panic,
Its poisonous vapor has ruined me quite;
It's caused Inc to make a pig trough of me stomach,
I wandher all day and play picket at night.
Och, was it for this that I crossed the wido ocean,
For this bid adieu to swate Arin's blist sod;
Och, have I desarved this lefthanded promotion,
Id's lape wid pure joy to shake hands wid a hod.
But I must awake from me musings and hasten
To sake a retrate for me poor achin head;
Besides it is idle me time to be wastin,
Some dog may be aitin me share of his bread.

TWICE MARRIED.
WHEN I married Eunice Morgan o I
was, in my own estimation and that of
many of my friends, a ruined man. I had
money, which came to me five years be
fore, and whose memory had never de
parted, had made of me a nerveless, pur
poseless misanthrope. Yielding to the so
licitation of friends, who thought a fit
companion might restore me to the world,
I solicited the hand of Eunice Morgan,
who had known me from early childhood.
and she gave me not only herself but re
stored to me my own old self, purified, el
evated and strengthened. With the tact,
affection and character of the ideal woman
in whom we believe, she made life sweeter
to me than the lost life I had bemoaned,
and the sacrifice of her noble self which
she had made for me seemed to fill her
own existence with constant joy.
A few years before, while I was return
ing from the Continental tour which fol
lowed my graduation, I met and worship
ped Anita Lozatoz, a beautiful Cuban. My
position in society was unexceptionable, I
was rich, and I pressed my suit with all
the ardor of a warm young heart and a
fluent tongue. So I was speedily accepted
.by Anita and parents, and we were soon
married. In one of the charming villages
near New York I built for my bride an
exquisite villa in a noble grove of old
chestnut trees, and furnished it with ev
erything her desires and:caprices.suggest
ed. I was still a student, and an ardent
one, but there were few hours in the day
in which I did not for a few moments drop
my books and seek and adore my beautiful,
my glorious wife.
slowly I learned the sad fact that An
ita's fondness for me was only a passionate,
fitful outburst, instead of a constant af
fection. I had never in the cooler mo
ments of my courtship expected her to
sympathize with my studious tastes ; but
when I comprehended that even my com
panionship was distasteful to her, and that
I received her smiles only in exchange for
such pleasures as I purchased for her I
became a very unhappy man. Trying to
gain her affections, if she were capable of
bestowing such a compliment, I abandoned
my studies entirely. I devoted my entire
time to the duty of pleasing my wife. I
spent without stint the money which had
been left me by a rich father ; I filled the
house with company ; I purchased a city
house, in which we passed the winter, and
all that a devoted and anxious heart could
do to win the love of the woman I held so
dear.
And I imagined, poor fool ! that I was
succeeding. The painstaking and anxiety
of several days devoted to procuring her
some new pleasure were fully repaid by
the parting of her ripe lips, and light dart
ing into her glorious eyes, and the clasping
of her beautiful arms, which always indi
cated my successes. The tiresomeness to
me of a large party of people who could
only dance, drink and eat was always re
lieved when, after the last guest had de
parted, Anita would draw me down to her
and kiss me a dozen times, and tell me
that I was her dear delightful old boy.
At the close of one of the most brilliant
entertainments I bad ever given, I strolled
restlessly through the drawing rooms, and
the conservatory, looking for my darling.
She bad been unusually beautiful through
out the evening, and when I caught ber
eye it had been so full of feeling and ten
derness that I bad longed for the moment
to arrive when we might be alone, and
might for the thousandth time renew my
declarations of affection. She had gone
suddenly to her rooms, the servants said,
and had left word she would return in a
moment. •
I continued my aimless strolling, when,
entering the library, I found on the open
volume I had last been reading a slip of
paper bearing a line in Anita's delicate
handwriting. It read :
"I cannot love you, for you are too great for
poor little me. I have found one I can love.
God forgive me and bless you."
I fell and knew no more until days
afterward, when I emerged from the de
lirium of a fever. Against my will I re
covered, but my spirits, my high aims and
purposes, it seemed that I had lost forever.
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1874.
I attempted to recommence the life course
of reading and :study I had determined
upon when I left the college, but I found
myself devoid of aim or energy.
For several years I led a desolate life,
never hearing of Anita, but holding her
constantly and tenderly in my heart in
spite of her faithlessness. One day there
appeared at my villa a rough-looking for
eigner, who said he was a sailor, and had
been handsomely paid to bring me tidings
of the death of my wife, who had been
washed overboard from the deck of a ves
sel in the Mediterranean. He could tell
me nothing more about her, except that
she was travelit ' , alone at the time of the
accident, and had left among her papers a
note enclosing a large bank-note to pay
for intelligence being sent to me in the
event of her sudden death at any time.
I informed two or three faithiul friends
of the sad fate of my wife, and they, who
had been unwearied in their endeavors to
rally me, insisted that I ought to marry
again. At first I utterly refused to listen
to the suggestion ; but so skillfully and
untiring were they that they finally pre
vailed upon me to re-enter society. Then,
with an apology, I offered Eunice Morgan
the remains of my former self, and she
accepted me as sweetly as if I had been
in all the cheerfulness of untroubled youth.
How she unmade and remade me I can
not tell, for I was scarcely conscious of
what was taking place. But so fully did
she sympathize with all my old hopes and
aspirations that I soon found myself at my
studies with an energy and ability I had
never befbre possessed. The constancy of
her sense and sympathy was even exceeded
by that of her affection, which seemed
never to slumber for an instant. Finally,
when on my return from an enforced ab
sence fur a few days, Eunice, from her
couch, sweetly handed to me a wee, warm
miniature of herself, my cup of joy seemed
full to overflowing.
As Eunice recovered, she spent most of
her time in the grove and garden which
surrounded the house. These, to gratify
Anita's tropical tastes, I had prepared
without regard to expense, and, now that
all of the shrubbery had gained several
years' growth, one could roam about for
days and still find new and beautiful com
binations and effects. It was there, when
ever I wearied of my books for awhile, I
sought my darling's, and always found in
their society exactly the recreation needed.
One evening, as I wandered through the
garden, in hopes of suddenly surprising
Eunice and her little namesake, I sudden
ly emerged from a group of shrubbery and
beheld a scene that startled me. Eunice,
who was to me the ideal of all that was pure,
and faithful, and noble, sat in a rustic
chair, and at her feet, clasping her hand,
and murmuring passionately, was a slight,
handsome foreigner, whose features were
strange to me. Eunice, my trusted wife,
was deeply affected—so much so that the
cries of her little daughter, who bad fallen
to the ground a few steps away were un
heeded. My footsteps startled them, and
the man, glancing hastily at me across his
shoulder, sprang to his feet and bounded
hastily away, while Eunice, still tearful,
maintained a composure which astonished
me, and gave me a searching, pitying look,
which completely bewilderd rue. For a
moment or two I was speechless, and I
asked :
Who was that man, Eunice Y"
"A poor beggar, Herbert," she said.
"He was very finely dressed for a person
in that profession," said I. The suspicion,
which for the time filled my mind proba
bly betrayed itself in my tone, for Eunice
arose, proud, handsome, and angry, and
exclaimed :
"Herbert, do you doubt my word?"
Never, in her most tender moment, had
I seen Eunice so perfect a picture of purity
and nobility. My suspicions were disarm
ed in an instant, and, throwing my arms
about her neck, I begged her pardon, and
expressed my penitence in the fullest terms
I could command, until with her own dear
lips she stopped my utterance entirely.
From that day there commenced a series
of changes in Eunice's manner, which by
turns perplexed, embarrassed, grieved and
provoked me. At first I attributed her
strange manner to my grievous blunder in
momentarily distrusting her ; so I was un
ceasing in apologies and in my endeavors
to make atonement by showing even more
affection than that which seemed already
to occupy my entire thought and time.
But when she admitted that my mistake
had been a fully justifiable one, I became
convinced that there was a different cause
for her change of demeanor. Although
more than ever devoted to my interests,
hopes and tastes, she seemed to shrink
from the close and tender companionship
which had previously existed between us.
Little by little she withdrew herself
from me, until we were little more than
polite acquaintances. Pretending that our
little daughter might disturb my rest by
her wakefulness, Eunice arranged for her
self apartments near those which Anita had
occupied. These latter had been locked
immediately after Anita's departure, ar I
bad never been entered by any one. Then,
though apparently in the best of health,
Eunice complained of frequent indisposi
tion, during which attacks she had her
meals sent to her room, and our house
keeper remarked, casually, that my wife
had an unusual appetite when sick.
Time after time I implored her to tell
me the cause of her sadness and strange
ness, but every time I alluded to the sub
ject she would look so sad, and weep so
bitterly, that out of regard for her I finally
desisted entirely. She said that I never
made her unhappy—that my love for her
had been greater than she had ever be
lieved could bs shown by man to woman,
and that she would rather be my slave than
the wife of any other man in the world.
But when, moved by the passion of her
words and looks, I begged her, for her
love's sake, to tell me the cause of her sor
row, and put it in my power to remove it
if possible, she would burst into tears ;
even my caresses seemed to be unendurable.
As for me, my own life became utterly
miserable. The idea of a dreadful secret
sorrow in the life of the woman I loved so
dearly was insupportable, yet there was no
honorable escape from it. Any privation
from her society I would have cheerfully
endured if I could have thereby restored
to her the happiness she seemed to have
lost completely, but the thought that my
suffering was fruitless of any good to her
only added to my misery. I lat my spirits,
my appetite, my interest in any studies,
and finally my ability to sleep. Night af
ter night I spent on the veranda, or gloom
ily strolling under the old chestnuts about
the house, wondering, hoping, praying—
cursing—sometimes almost determined to
end Eunice's life and mine, and learn her
secret after we were both rid of its blight
ing effects.
One dark, windy night I was pacing the
veranda, long after midnight, when I was
startled by a bright light appearing in the
room which had been Anita's chamber. I
instantly determined thieves having heard
the story which every gossip in the village
knew, had selected this night in which to
carry away some of the valuably contents
of my poor erring wife's apartment=. For
years her memory had been to me a Ching
of the past, but now the idea that rude
hands could touch anything once dear t , )
the woman I had loved; roused me to the
wildest fury. Hastily taking a revolver
from my desk, and snatching from a case
of curiosities a two-pointed Malay dagger,
I softly ran through a passage which led
to the room where the light WaS shining.
I stopped at Eunice's room to warn her
against unnecessary alarm, but to my sur
prise Eunice was not there. Could she be
in Anita's chamber, I wondered ? I crept
along the passage, pausing at every step to
listen. The door of the long closed cham
ber stood ajar, and suddenly I heard sounds
which seemed to stop my heart-beats. I
heard the- voice of Eunice, and a voice
which was hoarse, rapid, eager and with a
foreign accent.
In an instant I was almost mad with
jealousy. The well-dressed foreign beg-
gar—my wife's sorrows and her mysterious
conduct—her withdrawal from my com
panionship and my chamber—her frequent
indispositions—the bountiful meals con
sumed at such times—her aversion to my
caresses—all I,hat had happened since the
day I had surprised my wife and the beg
gar, linked itself together in one strong
chain of damning evidence against my
wife. She had loved this foreigner—she
had brought him into the house of the
man she was wronging—she had secreted
him in the rooms she knew were safe from
intrusion—she had even fed him from her
husband's table.
A terrible calm quickly succeeded my
fury, but found me cruel, vengeful and
merciless. I would surprise them. I
would quickly and surely slay them, and
then, taking my little daughter, I would
fly from the home which had so terribly
disgraced me.
Hastily I threw open the door, but it
turned noiselessly on its hinges without
disturbing the occupants of the room, and
revealed to me a scene which struck me
dumb. On the pillow of the dainty couch
of my lost wife lay the worn, wasted, un
mistakable face of Anita Lozatoz ! By the
bedside, clad in white, with her golden
hair unbound and rippling over her face
and shoulders, stood Eunice. Her eyes
were full of tears, while all the tenderness
of pity, sorrow and compassion heightened
the beauty of her pure features into some
thing almost angelic. One of her hands
was tightly held by Anita; with the other
she was pointing upward.
"Forgive me again," groaned Anita,
hoarsely, "for the pain my presence has
given you."
"Ask for forgiveness of God," replied
Eunice. "I have only done my duty."
"The years of pain I gave Herbert,"
continued Anita; can he ever, and will
he ever forgive—"
"Ask God," said Eunice, still pointing
upward.
"Ah, yes, my sister," said Anita, "but
I am not a saint like you. God had all His
angels to comfort Him when I sinned, but
Herbert was alone with his sorrow. Do
you think he will forgive my soul after it
has left my body ?"
"He will forgive you now," replied Eu
nice. "His is a noble soul, and he is—your
husband. Let me bring him."
"Oh, do not ! I dare not meet him !
Before I could tell him all ho would
curse me !" cried Anita, shuddering and
shutting her eyes :13 no hide some dread
ful sight.
"You do not know hini," replied Eunice.
"He is honor itself. Whatever is pitiful,
honorable, manly, christian, that is Herbert.
He shall forgive you!"
"He will," I cried, advancing to the
bedside. Eunice started; Anita with a wild
cry, hid her face in the pillow.
."Your wife is dying," whispered Eu•
nice. She has suffered terribly. Be to
her all you can in her few remaining uio
ments." And in au instant Eunice disap
peared.
Tenderly I raised Anita in my arms and
kissed her brow. She opened her eyes
and gazed into mine with a look at once
glad and imploring.
"Herbert," she whispered, ••I was ia
fatuated on that awful night, but I re•
pented before I got outside the grounds.
I pursued my tempter as if I were mad.
I hurried back to secure my note before
you should see it, but arrived only in time
to see you fall. Then I ran away, I know
not where, but I never dared to come
back to you. I was swept overboard at
sea once, and before I was rescued I was
smitten by a terrible cold from which I
never recovered. When I found I must
die, I dragged myself here, disguised in
male attire, to look at you once more.—
Your noble wife recognized me, and I
told her my story. I couldn't help it—
it seemed like confessing to a pure angel.
She declared she would tell you ; that I
should have my lawful husband, and she
would leave you forever. I only prevented
her by vowing to kill myself if she did.—
Then she declared these rooms were mine ;
that I could live in them ; she forced me
to come; I did not want to. She has fed
me; she has comforted me ; she has been
doctor and priest to me. She—oh, God !"
Anita stopped suddenly and struggled
for breath. I gently brushed her heavy
black hair back from her temples. Agai n
she spoke :
"Herbert, hear my last words ; they are
true, as I hope for mercy. No lips but
yours ever touched mine—no arms but.
yours were ever around me. For a few
hours toy heart forgot you, and for each
hour I have paid a year of suffering. Was
that enough ?"
Her great dark eyes struggled against
their fate as they looked for my coming
answer ; her pale, thin lips, once so rich
and red, now twitched nervously. For
an instant I pressed her tenderly to my
heart, and when again I looked at hor,
her eyelids were drooping over the eyes
in which death's dimness could not hide
the love there was there, while her lips
were breaking into the smile which never
again left them. A moment later Anita
Lozatos stood at the bar of that Judge
who knew of her atonement as well as her
sin.
I went in search of Eunice and found
her sobbing on her bed. I kissed her and
whispered :
"She is dead, darling."
"So is my secret—my terrible secret,"
sobbed Eunice.
With my own hands I dug her grave
in a maze in the garden, where she used
to spend many of her moments. Eunice,
self-forgetful, saintly Eunice, robed the
poor clay in the dress it had worn, on her
wedding day, and together we laid her in
her last earthly home. None but Eunice,
Anita and myself knew the key to the

Gen. Robert B. Beath.
TILE REPUBLICAN cANDIDATE fOR AEC
RETARY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS.
As Gen. Robert B. Beath, our candidate
for Secretary of Internal Affairs. was first
nominated for the position of Surveyor
General from Sehuyikill County, and had
made this his home for some years prior to
his removal to Harrisburg to asAhe the
duties of his office, it is proper. as we es
teem it it a pleasant task personally, that
we present to our readers some of the more
prominent points in his history as we have
learned them from those who kn.)w him
lone and well.
He is a Philadelphian by birth. After
receiving such an education as could be
obtained in the grammar schools of that
city, 7.1 e was apprenticed, while quite
young, to learn the trade of machine
blacksmithing in Merrick S; Son's foundry.
Whilst learning his trade, and afterwards
when working at the anvil among the har
dy sons of toil, he was noted for his in
dustrious and steady habits, and for his
earnest efforts to acquire a wider range of
knowledge through books, to which he
assiduously devoted his leisure moments.
How well he succeeded his subsequent ca
reer proves.
When civil war burst upon the coun
try he was among the first to enlist fur its
defense ; entering the service as a private
soldier in April, 1861. it. the three months'
service. On the expiration of this term
of enlistment, thou 7h not in t►ood health
at the time, he again entered the service
in Company D., 83th Regiment Pennsyl
vania Volunteers, in which he was pro
moted to a lieutenancy, and whilst serving
with his regiment he was wounded at the
second battle of Bull Run.
Upon the organization of the colored
troops, in 1863, it was determined by the
Government to give them the advantage
of intelligent and tried officers from our
Veteran Regiments, and to this end an
Examining Board, with Gen. Casey at its
head, was detailed by the War Depart
ment. Lieut. Beath, after passing a cred
itable examination in August or that year
was appointed Captain of Company "A,"
Sixth I'. S. Colored Troops. In accepting
this appointment he evinced his willing
ness to serve his country in whatever po
sition his services could be made most use
ful, and cheerfully took upon himself the
additional hazard of such a command, and
that such a command was regarded as at
tended with more danger and greater risk
will be remembered by all who were in the
army. In fact an order was issued V the
Confederate authorities that officers of col
ored troops, if captured should be 'tun
marily dealt with. This order did not.
however, deter Captain Beath, whose heart
was in the cause in which his sword was
drawn, for he was always found at his post.
When leading his company in the charge
on the Rebel works at New Market Heig.hts.
near Fort Harrison, in Virginia. in 186-1
he was again wounded very severely,
which resulted in the loss of his leg—lis
abling him for life. After leaving the
hospital, where he was confined !owe
months, being no longer fit for field ser
vice, he was assigned. to duty at Camp
William Penn. near Philadelphia. and
subsequently at Wilmington, N. C.. in
positions requiring administrative ability,
which lie had shown himself to poasesa in
an eminent degree. At the muster-ont
of his regiment. Captaiu Beath received
from the War Department a eoratniaaion
as Lieutenant Colonel in recogn,tion ()Ibis
services.
After the war, Colonel Reath returned
to his home at Philadelphia. where, no
longer able to earn a livelihood as one of
the sturdy sons of Vulcan, he was soon af
ter appointed sub-postmaster at Station
"I)," which he afterwards resigned, to
take charge of the books of a large col.
liery in Schuylkill county. Durinl the
time that he was thus engaged his fel!ow
soldiers throughout the State, with an ap
preciation of the qualities which were AO
conspicuous in him, marking him at once
the man and the soldier, selected him as
the Assistant Adjutant General of the
Grand Army of the Republic, an organi
zation composed of' soldiers of the late vow
without regard to party, but bound to
gether for friendly intercourse, mutual as
sistance, and for the purpose of aiding the
orphans of fallen comrades. To this po
sition he was re-elected three different
times, and subsequently was unanimous
ly elected Commander of the Drpirt.
Colonel Beath's worth was early appre
ciated at his new home. for in a few years
after his removal to Schuylkill County. he
received the hearty support of this county
for the office of Surveyor General, to
which he was nominated by the Republi
can State Convention in May. IS7I, and
elected in October following by a majority
of over 20,000 votes over Colonel Cooper.
formerly the commander of the celebrated
"Cooper's Battery." who was the Demo
cratic candidate.
In May, 1872, Gen. Beath asiumeil the
duties of his office, to the perform-Ince of
which he brought to bear thove quick
perceptive qualities of mind and that ac
tive energy and strict integrity that had
characterized his previous course, giving
him position and making for him power
ful friends.
That the confidence reposed in him by
the people when they elected him to this
important position was worthily bestowed.
the high character which the office sus
tains to-day, as attested by the legal pro
fession and all who are acquainted with
the very satisfactory manner in which the
duties thereof have been discharged. is the
sure guarantee. And not only have the
duties enjoined by law been faith(- ;y per
formed, but the experience gained during
his term of office has enabled Gen. Death
to discern many of the wants of our pecu
liar land system, and to suggest and secure
such legislation as will hereafter render
the landed interests more secure fr.,m th e
adventurers who made a business of tak
ing out land warrants for the purpose of
making money out of the equitable own
ers.
Such is the man whom the Republican
party, through their convention of no
delegates, many of them the ablest and
best men in the State, have unanimously
presented to the people as their candidate
for the office of Secretary of Internal Af
fairs, under the new Constitution. That
all who know General Beath, his rare
worth, his high moral character. his pri
vate life unspotted, his whole official ca
reer unstained, will, we teel assured, agree
with ni. that thin lionnr wan "Pell nowrite.t.
