By J. W. WELCII. From a "Confederate Story" published in the Globe of Nov. Tid, 1874. Night's ebony curtain enshrouded the valley, And hung like a pall on the mountain's high crest; Fierce agony tortured the heart of poor Cooper, And raged demon-like on his battle -scarred Creast. In vain had he plead for the right of a hero Whose arm never shrank in the hour of need; The boon was denied, though his blood oft had redden'd The Mlles where carnage had covered the mead. Ile thought of his loved ones, and of the sad letter Whose words burned their way to the depths of his soul ; And vowed he would see them ere death claimed his victim, Though billows of fire across his path roll. No longer could duty constrain him to linger, Grim death was besieging his Mary's lone cot; He saw through the night-cloud the blue eyes of Lucy All gtrftuniiig with tears, and the soldier woo not. Though dear to his heart was the cause he 11 , d chosen, And strong were the ties which the soldier's heart bound; Yet sweetly was blooming the lore in his bosom Which true-hearted Mary had artlessly found. The gloom of the night but encouraged lily footsteps, 'Twee nought to the darkness his aching heart bore; Nor paused he for rest till his foot pressed the threshold, Aud joy lit his heart by hie own cottage door. But joy fled apace from the heart of poor Mary, Her Edward, unbidden, bad flown to her arms : "Go back, dearest Edward, to suffer dishonor Were fiercer by far than the battle's alarms." * ♦ x * The court martial sat with an air stern and rigid, • And Cooper stood nigh to be tried for his life; No counsel had he, no defence did he offer Except that short letter from Mary his wife. The President read to the steel-visaged heroes, While tears unrestrained poured from every eye; "Oh, Edward, I'm proud of your deeds as a soldier, But Oh come home, Edward, come borne or we die." But though the Ned tale cf the soldier thus moved them, And stirred the great deep of each veteran heart, They rendered their verdict as going to battle, 'Twere better with one than ;tholsand to part. But Pity, who weeps at the gate of misfortune, Constrained the commander hie pardon to give; The angel of mere) swooped down o'er the darkness With words of sweet import, "Let poor Cooper I.re." * * The battle raged fierce as the thunder of Heaven, The dead lay as Sheaves o'er the harvest field strewn ; One only was left where a hundred bad entered, The pardoned deserter was fighting alone. But soon the dread missile of death found Its victim, Ms lifeblood the dark field of slaughter did lave ; "Oh. General." be vied, as he sank in death's chasm, "Say, have I the honor of dear Mary saved r The General bowed as the spirit of Cooper Departed, but Oh where does Pity weep now? Around the sad cut of the grief-stricken Mary, Who o'er the red grave of her husband dues bow. ,Otrig-Zeiter. THE " BLACK SHEEP" OF THE PAEY, -Father, believe me, I am speaking the truth ! I ask nothing save that you should consider Me innocent. If I could but take that assurance with me into exile, it would lighten my burden, and help me to forget the unmerited punishment which I have undergone. I know, as a boy, I was wild and reckless. bat never dishonest I ant as innocent of the crime for which I suffered as you are." T:le speaker was a tall, good looking young man, apparently about twenty five years of age. There was a pallor over spreading his dark features, which spoke of long confinement and severe mental suffering. Ilis manner was, as were his words, earnest and intense; and, as he ceased speaking, ha advanced towards his father with an air of entreaty. "Noe have been answered; now go; and never dare to intrude on me again. I have, as you know, placed a suns of money in my lawyer's hands for your use; enough for you to be enabled to leave England, and commence, if you choose, an honest career in the colonies. You need expect nothing more from me." Mr. Pearson ceased speaking, and com menced occupying himself in a way which showed that he was about to leave his counting house for the night. The son regarded his father with a wist ful look, and once or twice essayed to speak; when, at last, his words found ut terance, they were accompanied by tears. "This one request, at least, you will not deny me. It is the last that I shall ever make. It is that I may see my mother. Grant me this, and I will never trouble you again." There was no sign of relenting in the face of the father as he turned from his desk, at which be had been occupied and looked straight at his son, "No; you have already almost broken your mother's heart; the greatest kindness you can do ber is never to cross her path." "At least, tell me," pleaded the patient voice, "does my mother think me guilty ?" "She knows you are guilty.. Now leave! From this hour you are one dead to me !" The gray head was bowed; and with a heavy sigh the outcast son left his father's presence. The dcor had just closed upon him when another emerged from an inner room, the door of which was partly open. This third person had beard the conversation, though not present; and now, with a noiseless step, and an expression of countenance in tended to be sympathetic, he approached Mr. Pearson. "Father," he said, do not let this trouble you too much. lle is not worth consider ation !" The bowed head was raised; and the face revealed a softened look, which, had the poor outcast seen it, would have given him a ray of hope. ".111, Joseph, I had forgotten you were here; you did well, however, in keeping out of sight. Come, my sun, it is time we are at home." And now, while they are on their way to their luxurious howe, we will take a survey of the past history of the family. Mr. Pearson was what the world calls a "self. made man." He was well established in life, and over thirty when he married. His wile had a fortune in her own right hand, and what is better still, she was a fortune in herself. Two years after marriage she gave birth to twins, who have been introduced to the reader. It was observed, as they grew up, they were in every repect unlike each other. John was very dark and large framed, while Joseph was fiir, small, and, almost from his birth, bad looked younger than his brother. At school John was always the scape goat for Joseph, who, however, had not the grace to feel gratitude, much less af fection, for him ! When the yount , Pearsons were eigh• teen years of age, their father determined to place them in his counting house. To this arrangement Joseph willingly submitted. Not so John; he hated the very name of trad , ., and begged to be al lowed to follow something more congenial to his tastes. But a deaf ear was turned to his pleadings, and he was looked upon as the "black sheep" of the family. Nearly two years had passed since the young men had been installed in the count ing house. John was sitting alone in his room one night counting his money, and engaged in the pleasant reflection that, in a short time, his salary for the current quarter would J;oe due. That, added to what he already possessed, would complete the sum which he deemed stufficient to commence his new life. HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1875 In the midst of his pleasant meditations he suddenly remembered that an impor• tant letter, which his father had requested him to post, still lay in his desk at the office. John made up his mind to mend mat ters as far as might he by hastening at once to the counting house for the letter, which he had found he had yet time to post before the mail went out. He hastily thrust his gold into its place ill his trunk, and getting into a 'bus, was soon set down at his destination. The office had been for some time clo sed, but John obtained admission by a key which he always carried. He did not deem a light necessary, as he knew exact ly where to pat his band upon the letter; besides which a temporary light from a match was all that could have been ob tained—as, to prevent accident, the gas was nightly cut off. As he closed the desk, he could not un derstand why, but he felt certain that some one else breathed the air of that dark room. He stood motionless, listening, but he heard no sound. Then in a clear, ringing voice, he asked if any one were present. There was no response. Determined to search, he ignited a match, and saw, almost within reach of his arm, his brother Joseph. Joseph was leaning against the wall, ghastly, trembling in every limb. At first neither spoke; then John said : "What on earth brings you here?" The answer came in tones very unlike Joseph's usual subdued utt2rauce. "I was out walking, was seized with one of my neuralgic pains, and I came in to get 'the drops for it, which I kept in my desk. But 1 may as well ask what brings you here ?" Oh, I—l came to get a I - •tier which I had forgotten to post on entering Why didn't you answer when I spoke ?" `•I diclti . t recognize your voice." Joseph la , .,ghe - d nervously. . ••luu're a pretty fellow ! Why the thief might have gut off, booty and all, without much opposition from you, my doughty brother ! But come, let us get out of this den. It is bad enough to be here in the day time. By the way. Joe, don't men tion to father my having forgotten chat letter." On this, they then left th•e Joseph eagerly promising to keep silence. A week later the quarter's salaries were due and paid. John took his crisp new bank notes with great -atisfaetion. That night he again counted his little board. Joseph passing the door. An idea seized "I will astonish my quiet brother with a sight of my wealth," said he "Ile would never, I am sure, give me credit for being to saving. '. Then he called Joseph, who entered, smiling. - .out the smile was turned to a look of surprise when he saw the gold and notes on his brother's table. John was amazed, and was about to des cant on his hitherto unsuspected habits of economy, when a knock was heard at the door, and a servant announced that "Mrs. Pearson would like to speak to Mr. John a few minutes." So telling Joseph to act as guardian to his golden treasure, John withdrew. Lett alone, Joseph, stooping over the table, hastily examined the paper money. There were four five pound Bank of En • gland notes, all c,f them new looking. "There can be no risk," he muttered. "jai) is not half business man enough to have taken the numbers." Then, with a trembling hand he drew a leathern book from his inner pocket, and taking from it four five pound notes. crisp and new, he substituted them for John's." "Thef look just the same," he said, •~he will never detect the differenca." When the brother returned, Joseph asked, in a careless tone, if he knew the numbers of his notes. He replied in the negative, and he safely stowed away the notes and gold in his cash box, remarking that it was sufficient for him to know that he had the notes. This reply relived Joseph of any doubts which he may have had, and he soon after wished his brother good-night. The time had arrived when John Pear son might go his own way, and leave the occupation which was so distasteful to him. He could become his own master. His mother was the only one who knew of his intended departure, and although she loved him dearly, she made no attempt to dissuade him flow his purpose. She understood bim well, and knew that he might be trusted to make his way h in orably in the world. "I shall go to Aus tralia, mother, dear," be had said, "and in two or three years, at utmost, come home again with money enough to rent, or. per Caps, even to buy a little farm, somewhere in Kent or Surrey, and then yin can often come and see me. and admire my prize pigs and wonderful fowls And I'll send new laid eggs to town to you every day " Mrs. Pearson would smile through her tears while she beard these promi-es. Three days before John's prjected de parture—he had taken a staer.ige pa-s to Melbourne in the Oceanica, determined to rough it —the family wore assembled at. dinner. It was never a very cheer ful meal at the Pearson's table. The amount of work he allotted to himself was too much for his strength, and he generally return ed home peevish and irritable On this particular evening he wore even a deeper frown than usual, and each mem• bee of the family could see that something had gone wrong. _ _ They were soon enlightened as to what it was. Turning to his wife, Mr. Pearson sharp ly said, °Mary I have been robbed This abrupt announcement caused a pro found &lsatian. John was surprised and sorry ; Joseph extremely surprised and sympathetic; and Mrs. Pearson treaibling asked the nature of the robbery. "Twenty pounds in mites," was the re ply. Tbey wore taken from a desk, where he himself had placed them eight or ten days before. This desk had evidently been opened by a key in the usual manner, as no marks of force were visible. The mer chant expressed his belief that the thief was some one well acquainted with the office, and who must have known the notes were there. Ha added that the numbers of the notes were known, and detectives had already been sent to trace them. He had no doubt they would be found, and then no mercy would be shown the robber. There was a gloomy silence. No one ventured further comment on the startling news. John Pearson was not in the habit of allowing disagreeable facts to dwell upon his mind. His temperment was naturally gay and sunny, and he dismissed such memories very summarily. But what he had heard haunted him with an unaccount able persistency. "Who could it have been ?" he thought. "I fear father was right when he said that it was some one who knew his way about the counting house. And, again, and again, he could not h&p owning to himself that he wished the guilty party might not be discovered, yet he dared not acknowledge why he harbor. ed such a desire. And now the sad secret farewell be tween mother and son, was over, and John stood upon the deck of the magnificent steamer that was to bear him away to the freedom for which he had so pined. Full of eager hope and happiness, he strolled towards the fore part of the vessel, his step buoyant and elastic. But another footstep, silent and stealthy, followed his. Presently a heavy hand was laid on his shoulder, and all innocent and honest though John Pearson was, he knew before a word had been spoken that he was under arrest, charged with burglary. There is no need to dilate upon the trial. The Brutus like father prosecuted with none the less vigor because the ac cused was his own son. In vain Juhn Pears - m the younger pleaded his innocence. Circumstances were too strong against him. His passage mon ey had been in part paid with the stolen notes. Then his wishing to get away from the country, and not mentioning his in tention, all went against him. _ . Ile begged that his brothJr mirth:, ris:t him, or at least see his counsel, with a view to explain in that he had told him of hay ink; saved all his two )e ors' salary. But after an interview which that worthy young man had with the lawyer, the latter advised John not to call him as a witness, as all that he could say would only strengthen the prosecution. The judge who tried the case was well known for his heavy sentences; and the jury thouJi to a man pitied the prisoner, believed him guilty. So John Pearson was condemned to five years' penal servitude. Death, in its most terrible form, would have been preferable to being for five years the companku of the very dregs of society while, his whole life would be clouded by shame, and his mother's heart perhaps broken ! Surely. never was so bitter a lot ! Was there no one who believed him in nocent ? His trial caused much excitement. Sc 'IVs , 1 * friends, and even relations. m'n gled with the crowds who came on the last day to hear his sentence passed; and as he was led from the dock he looked at the ninny faces which he knew forsome token o p t sympathy or of belief in his in nocniee--bar in vain ; all were cast down or averted as he passed. Th,ugh the ma jority c ,ndeinned the fiither's severity, none believed in the innocence of the son. One last agonizing farew..,l: to his moth er, who unknown to her hu , band, had visited her unhappy son, and he was mur dered in his living tomb. The next five years crept on slowly and heavily to the Persons. The elder was shunned and disliked by many who had before sought and respected hint. This behavior of his former friends Mr. Pearson wrongly supposed to be the result of his son's crime. Had he guessed right he would have known that it arose from natural abhorrence towards a man who could consign his own offspring to such a terrible doom. Joseph, as before, went his way quietly. lie never gained a friend, and he took care never to make an enemy. To the mother, the years brought only tears, and a prayerful longing to sec her son again. The time has been served, and John Pearson has got his relea,;e. He sought his father, with what result we have seen— only to be ordered front his presence with bitter revilit.gs. And he turned his back upon the co7'nt• ing house, and wended his way east, to ward the cheap inn where he had taken up his temporary residence, he resolved not to touch a penny of the money which his father's lawyer had in charge for him "I have sued to my father," said he, "when he should by rights have sued to me for my parden. The money was sent in kindness but only to pass me out of the country in case I should disgrace them further. I, who never stole the value of a penny in my life, lire for years been enduring a living death, only to be brand ed as a thief and ex convict ! But I will 'not. be crushed. I am young, and shall re gain my strength." Thus determined, the released prisoner resolved to husband the lime money he had till he conk' earn more. He could try and get employment as a laborer on a farm, or would go into the north and wok in a coal mine "Years ago," he said to him self, "I used to think I should like to dig fur gold in Australia ; if I could have done that. I can dig for coal in England Yes, I'll be a collier. Surely, very strict inquiries arc not made into the antecedents of men who apply for work in a mine!" That night he wrote to his mother, ask. lug her to believe in his innoceueo, and telling her to be of good cheer, for all must yet taro out well. Ile did not, how ever, mention to hEr his intention of turning collier. The next day saw him in a third-class carriage, on his way to Liveapoll. Arrived there, he bought a snit of clothes such as are worn by mineri. Then. duly equipped, he started on foot on his j(iuroey into the Bieck Ciunt? to townie work. He did not find this so easy to do as lie had supp,sed. Ile applied to overlooker after overlooker, without success. At lass he was fortunate enough to ob tain a place, which combined a great deal of heavy labor with very :Anal( wage,. With a ready hand and willing heart, he went to woik, believing all would be well in time. He never allowed his mind to linger on the past, and he always looked forward to the good time he was sure of seeing. The colliers liked him, he was so kind .nd good tempered. The little chil dren all loved him; and his sympathy with their joys and sorrows won at once the re gard of the kind homely matrons. John had been working at the mine fur three months, whorl, on one memorable night as he was just returning home, in company with some of his fellow workmen, a man came suddenly up and told them there was a terrible railroad accident close at hand. Anxious to be of some use, the rough but good natured men started off, guided by the messenger, in the direction of the disaster. John was among the first who reached the spot. An express train, bound for Glasgow, had fallen over the embankment, and now the engine and carriages lay shattered wrecks at the foot of the steep. From beneath the debris shrieks and moans were heard, and the miners, who now mustered in strong forces, were al- ready lendin7 their brawny strongth in aid of the poor sun . ..A-el-F. John paused bel ire a heap of iron aail woodwork, and patting down his lantern. proceeded to extricate thc body of 3 min —an old min, as he could see by 'b., gray. scant hair was ly..dabbed with gore. The face also was covered with blood, yet he ,aw with satisfaction that the sufferer was alive. Gently p;acing hint on the grik.. he turned hiA attention to the purL:er man close to him. As he felt with a shndder. and a feeling of infinite pity. that the body had been terribly crushed ; yet the man breathed, and John kneeling' to place him on a litter which had been lulAtily made. asked the men to carry the elder man to the same destination. Men on horseback hail been I lipateherl to the nearest town l'or medical a.zsistance —the little hamlet of the miner. hoisting only one doctor, in search of whom Jobn went, and begged him to come at once to hiA cottage, if only f;,r a few m•nute,=. The drictor who was half distracted at the demands made upon hint. promised t be there directly. And J,lin h,stenefl back to th sufferers, hopinz to he Al.! t.. d) somethirvz to relieve than nntil wre efficient help than his could be procured. As he entered Cie fonts of the iw men on his bed struck him. 11e preparnl warm water, and, on hathitr the bruised and battered faces. reengnized in thi sufferers, his father and brother .1,, seph. At that instant the doctor entered the cottage. He pronounced the condition of the elder gentleman to be by no means 5!::` rinus, and a c irdial soon revived hi m a n d restored him to consciousness. Not so with Joseph. Consciousness returned. cer tainty ; but to his agonized inquiry es to whether he should recover, the .ketur could only answer. sadly. that the fleeting Lour would probably be his last. While the doctor had been attending to his patients, Job') had withdrawn to a dark corner of the room. lie tared the effect upon his father if he shonld reveal himself too abruptly. The nieffical roan hastened away. big promised to return in a short time. Ile could do no good by remaining. and tli•l-•• were others in urgent need of his he!p. Left, as they supposed, :done. Mr. Pear son bent over his son in anguish nr "Oh, Jeseph, my only son.licy.v can I bear to le.ire you." But the other rais,l his death cold hand in deprecating appeal. "No, father, not yosironly son : Do not interrupt me while I am spt and do not curse me when I shall have fin ished.
