A YORKSHIRE TRAGEDY. $e had always been harsh with us, and we hated him. I don’t km.w why-my father appointed him our guardian. No two men oould have been more unlike, nor had they asso qiated much together. One, a high spirited, open-hearted, improvident squire ; the other a hard, passionate, sullen man, whose dogged self-will seldom deferred to the opinions or feelings of others. Little sympathy oould have existed between them, I believe, too, that he was averse to my father’s union with his sister, prophe sying that she would live to repent marry ing mad Jaok Holderness. That is our family name. It is a right Yorkshire one, and has been known in those parts any time these five hundred years. Only the other day I found it in Ohauoer. She did not repent, however. My father might ride and drink hard, as most York shire squires did in his day, but he was always kind to her and her children. And if the hall —never a very orderly place— was sometimes turned inside out by a party of boozy fox-hunters, its ordinary aspeot presented a cheerful oontrast to the great, grim, cold house, in the dull country town, wherein her early years had been passed. Ah, that house! if she could but have known what would ooeur within in it! I have heard that her father (I am speak • ing now of my uncle, with whom I set out) was an attorney, who became rich by the practioe of his profession, and that he brought up his son to the same business. Old Swinchat—Foxey Swinchat, folks called him—died in harness, leaving his money to be equally divided, betwixt his son and daughter. He had ho need to do 90, and was of too sullen, obstinate and overbearing a disposition ever to become popular. . I have said that my grandfather, who died before I was born, bequeathed his money in equal proportions to his son and daughter. He did this literally; in the latter oase tying it upon my mother and her issue, exclusive of her husband’s con trol, Not that he entertained any ill-will towards my father ; but, being a shrewd, Bharp man, he thought that his son-in-law might have made ducks and drakes of it. I never heard of my father resenting this ; probably he acknowledged its prudence, which was abundantly manifest afterwards, when my mother died. Her death had a great and disastrous effect upon him. Always a careless man, .and rather a free-liver, he rode harder and drank deeper, kept open house for very promiscuous guests, squandered his money, and, in short, let things go to rack and ruin. He might have got married again— perhaps it would have been better for us if he had—for he was still young and hand some ; but, 1 believe, his affection for his dead wife restrained him from giving us a stepmother. Meantime, we ran wild about the house, and were brought up anyhow. I have remarked in life that men who have never known a mother’s care are often barder-natured than their happier fellows ; deficient in tenderness, pity, forbearance. Perhaps it is not unnatural that they should be so. Jack and I, in our boy days, promised to be no exception to this rule— if I may so call it. We were, I fanoy, as hot-tempered, wrong-headed, ill-disci plined, and, to use a word whioh ought not to have become antiquated, as masterful a couple of lads as any in Yorkshire, which is a pretty bold assertion, too. We often quarreled, and sometimes fought savagely. Our father never interfered with us, and nobody else dared to do so. Stop, though, I am wrong there. One unole did. He never came to the house (not that he oame often sinoe his sister’s death, or, indeed, before,) without saying something harsh to, or of us—something that set-boys’ breasts rankling against him. We were no oowards, and often gave him as good as he brought. Our father would laugh at such altercations. I fanoy X see him now, With his handsome flushed face, ■red coat, and top boots, as he came in one day* all splashed, from hunting, and found That reminds me that I have not yet spoken of her. My uncle had got married, very unexpectedly, about two years after his sister’s death, to a handsome widow with one child, a little girl. His choice surprised everybody, for she was a gay, pleasure-looking woman, without/ fortune, and had lived in York and London. I believe she came of Irish lineage. Any thi.g more contrary to his sullen, self willed, local Yorkshire nature could ! scarcely be imagined. They did not live j happily together, and she would have ! quitted him if his passionate temper had ! not beaten down all opposition. My aunt was rather a favorite with us, being a good humored, though frivolous woman. Her little girl was one of the most beantifnl creatures in the world, 1 do believe We were shy of her; oonsoious, when in her presenoe, of a boyish awkwardness and want of breeding which never troubled us elsewhere. She knew this well enough, for, baby coquette as she was, all her mother’s nature promised to re-appear in her. I have looked covertly into her eyes, wondering at their exceeding beauty and fasoination, being dimly and uneasily oog nizant at the same time that it would be unsafe to trust them, and apprehensive that she might look up and at onoe divine my thoughts, as she always oould. Jaok eared more about her than I at that time, and she knew it, and treated him worse. I don’t think he was jealous of me in those days. My father liked to have her at the Hall, and would have kept her permanently, if my uncle had permitted. He used to call her his little sweetheart, humored all her little whims, and did his best to spoil her, as he did us and all children. When the cholera came into our part of the country, (it ravaged all England that year,) and she and her mother were attacked by it, he rode over to town every day to iuquire about them. Katy—that was her name recovered, but her aunt died. Her daugh ter had not then attained her twelfth birth-day. Just a year afterwards, almost to a day, my father got a bad fall while hunting, his spine sustaining such severe injury that he only lived long enough to appoint my uncle our guardian, and to take his leave of us, with many words of affection and re gret that he had not proved a more pru dent—Ee could not have been a kinder parent. His affairs were so embarrassed that another six months must have produ ced bankruptcy. He had mortgaged the estate—in itself much deteriorated in value—to the fullest extent; and, in short, when all his debts were paid, nothing re mained to us but our mother’s legacy, of which we should eome into possession at the ages of one-and-twenty. I was then ten—Jack thirteen. We went home with our unde to the great grim, cold house in the dull country town. Katy was sorry on our account, glad on her own, for since her mother’s death her life had been monotonous. I don’t think my uncle was harsh to her, though he never showed much kindness or consideration to wards anybody. Yet, ohild as she was, she had contrived to obtain some slight influ ence over him. I fancy he might have | loved her if she had been his own daughter. But whatever expectations of company and immature coquetries pur arrival exoited to Katy’s, Bosom, were doomed to disappoint- - ment at that time, for our uncle soon an nounced his intention of sending us to boarding school. Our ignorance justified him in this, if his dislike did not. I say his dislike, for I knew he always hated us, and, from the day he became our guard ian, had promised himself the gratification of subduing us, breaking us into his. humors, and, as he once said, flogging the rebel lious devil out of us. How he succeeded in this will be seen. Hitherto we had had, literally, no edu cation. For when our father sent us to school, as he did once, upon the first at tempt at the infliction of punishment we had made a fight for it, subsequently escap ing and returning home to be half laughed at, half commended—not ordered back.— But now there was no disputing the will of my uncle, even if we had been inclined to attempt it. To boarding-sohool we went accordingly. Yorkshire schools have, of late years, obtained a most unenviable notoriety. In my day all schooling was conducted on severer principles than the more fortunate youth ofjthis generation have any idea of. Punishment by blows and starvation form ed an ordinary part of it. Ido not know that the school selected by my uncle had a savager master or a crueller discipline than many others, but I am sure that a more direct method for the perversion of every honest and manly quality could not have been devised than the grinding tyran ny whioh, under the name of an education, we endured for two years. Strong boys it transformed into bullies ; weak boys, into cowards and liars. W e experienced enough of it and tospare. I am not going into detail—suffice it to say, that we were not conquered easily. One thing our school discipline taught us—to bear, perhaps to inflict pain. We never went home for the holidays or saw our unole’s face, until the expira tion of two years. He paid the schoolmas ter’s bills regularly, and received reports of us from him. Then word came for us to return. We had had all the schooling considered necessary. All we were des tined to have, as it proved. Katy was more beautiful, and more con scious of it than ever, when we saw her again. Qften as we had talked of her— Jack was especially.prone to this, and once tried his hand at a schoolboy letter to her, which the schoolmaster confiscated, flogg ing him for writing it—we had never pic tured to ourselves suoh loveliness as two years had developed in J>er whom we al ways regarded as our cousin. I am not gooiTat description, or I would attempt to oonvey some idea of Katy’s faoe. Though I don’t think words alone could do. it. I see it in my dreams sometimes— dreams that it is dreadful to wake from— but shall never meet its similitude again, unless in Heaven. The struggle between us and our uncle commenced immediately. He never made any pretence of liking us, always address ing us rather as dogs than human beings. Knickerbocker . “THAT COUNTRY 18 THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE SABOS OOMKASDS THE mtHTtw REWARD.”— BUCHANAN. LANCASTER CITY, PA.. TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 5, 1859. :11 think the spirit with whioh we met and resented this presented some sort of infer ! nal fascination to him. The day after our return, enraged at a defiant answer of Jack’s, he took a horsewhip, and, in spite of a furious resistance, flogged him merci lessly. My turn came soon enough, and after that it was all oaths, -curses and blows on one side, and desperate, but- ineffectual i struggles on the other. We should not have remained in the house three days but for one reason—Katy. We were both in love with her. | You may smile at the idea of the pas j sions entertained by boys of twelve and 1 fifteen for a girl of thirteen. But 1 am j sure that nothing l have sinoe experienced was more real o'r all-engrossing. The triv ial incidents connected with it remain in delibly impressed upon my memory, while thousands of more important events which have transpired sinoe, are forgotten. I re colleot the color of ribbons in her hair, the look and scent of flowers she woie, the pre cise aspect-of the rooms in which she sat and worked or moved about, even in the minutest detail. Sometimes this retrospec tion is misery to me. 1 loved her with my whole boyish soul. The sound of her girlish voice, the very rustle of her dress, affected me with a de licious pleasure which was half pain. I have woke up at night from a delirious dream to sob out her name and call passion ately upon her. I knew, at the same time, v that my passion was irrational and absurd, and that she was not worthy of it. Belief in the object is not necessary to love. A man shall be well convinced in his heart that no good can come of his success, that peaoe and happiness do not lie there—nay, shall be sure of the moral perversity of her he worships—yet shall be ready to risk life and soul to get her. My brother’s passion was equally vehe ment, and he became savagely jealous of me. I think he had greater faith in her than I—showed his feelings with less dis guise, and was therefore more cruelly sported with. In wooing a coquette —and Katy was born a coquette—he who feels or betrays least emotion will have most chance of success, for he could avoid un pleasing manifestations while his rival is morbidly sensitive to every look, word and action, at once exaoting, slavish and rebel lious. Katy cared for neither of us, but her fickle favors were sometimes bestowed upon me(l was considered the handsomer,) though always with an air of seniority which her one year’s difference in age rendered equally ludicrous and exaggerating. Tor mented by her caprice 1 found a oruel pleasure in augumeuting Jaok’s sufferings. Very soon he hated me with all the strength of his fieroe, ungovernable nature. She knew it, and unconsoious of the depth and danger of the feelings excited, triumphed in it. Of oourse we made no confidants. I cannot tell how my unole beoame enlight ened as to the existing state of affairs. When that happened his soorn of what he considered our juvenile folly seemed to intensify his brutality. CoarsS jibes and stinging jeers, alternated with blows and ill-usage, were still harder to bear, for boys are always sensitive in the extfeme to ridicule, especially on that topic. He taunted us to our faces before strangers, coupled every reproach addressed to us with some sneering allusion to Katy, grinding at our presumed jealousy of one another, and, in a word, made our lives unendurable. He was a strong man, or he might have oome off with mortal injury in some of the furious struggles whioh ensued. After one of these, Katy, weeping with rage and vexation, vowed that she would never speak to us again. That pleased him for a time. I think the devil put it into his head to ill-use her, as he did afterwards. Ur it might have been merely to spite us. I have said that he was more considerate towards her than others. Now he began to chide, to strike her. Shall I ever forget witnessing the first blow ? I did not wait for the second. -I remember going to her that evening with some wild project of flight whioh my brother was to share. (He had manifested such frenzied rage during her chastisement that my uncle locked him in an empty room, imprisoning him for some days.) She oried, but seemed to think much lighter pf the matter than I; its influence had already faded from her variable temperament. Henoeforth, however, she shared her uncle’s brutality with us. What would have come of this—how far we should have been able to endure it—do not know, had he refrained from one act. In a fit of sheer malignanoy he, one day, took a pair of scissors and out off a quantity of Katy's ieffr. It was long and beautiful, and she had been excessively proud of it. That night, when we had been ordered off to bed, there was an expression in Jack’s face which frightened me. He had been unusually taciturn all day—we never talked much together of late, but this day fewer words than ever pa-sed between us I tried to draw him into conversation, but without success.. And I noticed that he trembled very much when he lay down beside me. It was my uncle’s custom to lock us in, but this night, of all nights in the year, he omitted to do so. Unable to sleep for a long time, 1 lay listening to the wind without. It was a wild, blusterous night, such a one as had always exerted an unquiet influence upon me ; such a one as I shall now never con template but with horror, to my dying day. (Sometimes I fanoy that day will be its counterpart.) No moon was visible as I looked out of our curtainless casement, and a rack of heavy blaok clouds moved rapidly and continuously athwart the face of the heavens. The wind made a dismal clamor among the chimney potß, and now and then a fierce dash of rain drove against the window panes. Fearing to speak to my brother, and I was as scared and troubled in mind as though some evil influence were abroad. Was there not! I lay listening, until, from sheer weariness, I tumbled, as from a preoipioe, into the arms of sleep. That brought no relief. My dreams partook of my mental disquiet.- At first they were confused, formless, chaotically horrible. I was harrassed by an over powering, nameless dread, haunted by an ever-changing phantasm, whioh nothing oould exoroise, and the presenoe of whioh inflicted unimaginable misery and appre hension. This horror grew, like one of the evil genii in the Arabian Nights, until it filled up my entire imagination, and then abruptly ended. I still slept, labori ously, painfdlly, as oppressed by a heavy nightmare; yet, by a strange olairvoyance, 1 became conscious of the existence of the external objects. 1 saw the blaok shadows on the floor, the impenetrable darkness brooding in the comers of the room, and heard the wind raging without. More than that, though my brother lay with his back towards me, and his face to the wall, I saw his face as distinctly as if it were fronting mine in noonday. And (I do not pretend to explain these phenomena, and can hardly expect to obtain credence, though it was so,) I knew his thoughts. Oh! the mortal agony that it was to know them and be unable to stir hand or foot to prevent their execution. Gently and oautiously he put the bed clothes aside ; gently and oautiously he stepped over me. I lay watching him through an awful medium, which dispensed light with ordinary means. One long look at the troubled midnight sky, another at the mirror—what dreadful attraction was there in his own face, then, I wonder ?—and he stole across the darkened floor and out of the room. My preternatural vision followed him. Up the blaok staircase. To my unole’s room. The blood surged and throbbed in my brain. There was a dazzling flash as of polished steel before my eyes, and then a great darkness. With a ory of horror, I awoke, my hair bristling. My brother’s place was vaoant. I slipped from the bed, and stole after him; a mortal terror in my heart, my blood congealing to ice, my knees knock ing together. In the midnight blackness his outstretohed hands met mine—wet with what I knew must be blood! Why should I write more 1 Boy as he was, he died on the gallows, myself barely escaping the same fate. Katy, waking np to that night of horror, never closed her eyes in the sweet sleep of health or sanity again. My life has been passed in self-banishment from my native land. I am a lonely old man, the last of my race. And my story is told. A 8108 SPIRITED Paiwtt.w A REVOLUTIONARY SKETCH. Just after the defeat of Col. Ferguson at King’s Mountain, General Cornwallis in retreating towards Winnsboro’ halted for the night at Wilson’s plantation, near Steel Creek. The British General with his staff, and the infamous TarJeton occupied the house of Mrs. Wilson. Sup per was ordered and prepared for the British officers. Cornwallis in order to obtain a knowledge of his hostess, entered into a conversation with her, and soon found that he was occupying the house of a noted whig leader, Robert Wilson, who at that tim.’ with his son, John, was a prisoner in the Camden jail, and who was the father and brother of more than a dozen aotive whig soldiers. The British General upon this, attempted to enlist the sympathies of his hostess in the royal cause. He observed that it was a matter of sincere regret with him, to be compelled to wago a war, the worst calamities of whioh fell upon women. He was inolined to believe, that there were many worthy men in the rebel army, who had been induoed to take up arffis by the delusive promises of unprincipled leaders. ‘ Madam,’ he continued, < your husband and your son are my prisoners ; the fortunes of war may soon place others of your dons—per haps your kinsmen, in my power. Your sons are young, aspiring and brave. In a good oause, fighting for a generous and powerful king, suoh as George HI., they might hope for rank, honor and wealth.— If you oould but induce your husband afid sons to leave the rebels, and take up arms for their lawful sovereign, I would almost pledge myself, that they shall have rank and consideration in the British army, If you, madam, will pledge yourself to in duoe them to do so, I will immediately order their discharge.’ To this appeal, Mrs. Wilson replied that her husband and her sons were indeed dear to her, and that she would do any thing her consoienoe would uphold to advanoe their interests. For five years they had been engaged in the struggle for liberty, and had never faltered nor fled from the oontest. 1 1 have seven sons who are now, or have been bearing arms,’ she continued, —• indeed my seventh son, Zaceheus, who is fifteen years old, I lately assisted to get ready, to go and join his brothers in Sumpter’s army. Now, sooner than see one of my family turn back from that glorious enferprise7l would take those boys—pointing to three or four small sons —and with them would myself enlist under Sumpter’s standard, and show my husband and sons how to fight, and if neoessary, to die for their country 1’ ‘ Ah ! General!’ broke in Tarleton, —‘ I think you’ve got into a hornet’s nest! Never mind, when we get to Camden, I’ll take good, care that old Robert Wilson-never eomes baok again!’ On the next day’s maroh a party of soouts oaptured Zaceheus, who was found in the flank of the British army, with his gun, endeavoring to diminish his Majesty’s forces. He was immediately taken to the head of the column, and catechised by Cornwallis, who took the boy along with him on the march, telling him he must act as guide to the Catawba, and show him the best ford. Arriving at the river, the head of the army entered at the point designated by the lad, but the soldiers had scarcely gone half way across, before they found themselves in deep water—and drawn by- a rapid current down the stream. Believing that the boy, upon whom he had relied to show him the best ford, had pur posely brought him to a deep one, in order to embarrass his maroh, the Gener al drew his sword, and flourishing it over him swore he would cut off his head for his treachery. Zaceheus replied that he had the power to do so, as he had no arms, and was his prisoner; ‘ but, sir,’ said he, ‘ don’t you think it would be a cowardly act to strike an unarmed boy with your sword? If I had but the half of the weapon it would not be so cowardly; but then you know it would not be safe ?’ Struok by the lad’s 000 l courage, the General beoame calm. Having discovered the ford was shallow enough by bearing up. the stream, the British army crossed over in safety, and proceed towards Winnsboro’. On this march, Cornwallis dismissed Zao oheus, telling him to go home and take care of his mother, and tell her to keep her boys at home. After he reached Winns boro’, Cornwallis dispatched an order to Bawdon, to send Robert Wilson and his son John, with several others to Charleß-- ton, carefully guarded. Accordingly, in November, about the 20th, Wilson, his son and ten others, set off under the esoort of an offioer and fifteen or twenty men. Below Camden, on the Charleston route, parties of British soldiers and trains of wagons were continually passing, so that the offioer had no fear of the Americans, and never dreamed of the prisoners attempting to .esoape. Wilson formed plans and arran ged everything several times, but owing to the presence, of large parties of the enemy, they could not be exeouted. At length, being near Fort Watson, they encamped before night, the prisoners were placed in the yard, and the guard in the portioo and ! house. A sentinel was posted in the por- j tico pver the stock of arms, and all hands i went to providing for the evening repast, i Having bribed a soldier to buy some whisky, for it had been a rainy day, the prisoners pretended to drink freely, and one of them seemingly more intoxioated than the rest, insisted on treating the sentinel. Wilson followed him as if to prevent him from giving him the whisky, it being a breaoh off military order. Watching a favorable opportunity, he seized the sentinel’s musket, and the drunken man suddenly beooming sober, seized the sentinel. At this signal the prisoners rushed to the guns in the portioo, while the guard taking the alarm rushed out of the house. In the scramble for arms the prisoners succeeded—drove the soldiers into the house at the point of the bayonet, and the whole guard surrendered at discretion. Unable to take oft their prisoners, Wilson made them all hold up their right hands and swear never again to bear arms against the cause of ‘ liberty and the Continental Congress,” and then told them they might go to Charleston on parole ; but if he ever oaught one of them in arms again he would “ hang him up to a tree like a dog.” Soaroely were they rid of their prisoners, before a party of British dragoons eame in sight. As the only means of esoape they separated and took to the woods. Some of them reaohed Marion’s camp at Snow Island, and Wilson, with two or three others, arrived safely at Meoklenburg—a distanoe of over two hundred miles, through a oountry overrun with British troops C A R D S.

These pictures are not reversed, as daguerreo types areand may be seen ih’anylight.

CUMMINGS only, over SprecHer A Bro.’s New Store, North Queen st. Lancaster. « EXPLANATION. The term AMBROTYPE, by which these Pictures are designated; is derived from the Greek word Ambrotos, gig nifying indestructibility, permanency, Ac. The .Picture is taken upon plate glass, to which another plate of corres ponding size is secured with an indestructible cement, by by which the picture will retain its original brilliancy for ages; it will not corrode by acids, nor be injured by water or climate. It is bold In its effect, beautiful In tone, surpasses any thing in the gradations of light and shade, and may be seen in any light. The public are cautioned against imitations made on single plates of glass , with the blaek varnish in immediate contact with the Picture.— Buch are not permanent, as the varnish must crack and destroy the Picture. AMBROTYPE BTERESCOPES MUST BE SEEN, to be appreciated—the relief being fully as perfect as life.
