UNDER BEtITENOE OF DEATE
_ • ----
was three 'o'clock on a fine warm
afternoon in thelatter end of April.
The_garden at the rear of the edma
fOrtable,-*Whitewashed, thickly thatch
ed cabin Was abundantly stocked with
early. cabbages and potatoes ; every
thing bore the look of humble pros
perity ; from the blue smoke curling
lip from the freihly made fire on the
kitchen hearth, to the green meadows
where the cows were lying, peacefully
ruminating. A broad river, glisten
ing in the sun's rays, rolled smooth
ly beside the Wunder) wall of their
pasture.
Yet Kate Moran stood at her fath
er' § door, looking sadly,,ftenuai- the
river to the mass of sl4pp , iug, houses
and spires which rose on the other
side. • -
" Mother, honey, I can't -keep -my
eyes off that dreadful place !" said
she, turning as she spoke to an elder
ly woman who sat knitting on a bench
near the fire. . .
" Musha, nuashn; what goodll that
do ye 2" said she, rising 'and going to
the docl. also. " Conie in, now," put
ting her hand on her daughter's
shoulder caressingly.
" Oh, mother! To think o' the poor
fellow bein'—" here she fairly broke
down and burst into a wail of distress.
Whisht now 1" cricd)ier mother.
" Here's your feither comixe, and
don't let him see ye cryin'."
Kate ran hastily into a bedroom,
as her father entered the-kitchen.
" There's no chance for the poor
craythur, Pat ?" asked his wife, as a
broad-faced, good-humored looking
man came forward and sat down on
the settee.
" Chance ?" said he, roughly, while
his face clouded. " Sorry. chance!
He'll be hurt. , b as sure as I've this
pipe in um han:d."
" Lord," have m , :rcy on his sowl, the
craythur 1" moanld his wife. I f
" Oh, muiha amin," saidber hus
band, sighing. 'Tin gain' jn' wud

The still was setting over, the oppo
site hill, where The tall many-stoned
houses rose in terraces and steep
lanev,aud was shedding the lastbeams
of hfs radiance on the large dark stone
building which crowned the height.
The rod light seemed to be concen
trated on one part of the blinding,
where there was an iron gateway,
spiked and double-locked. Far above
m the dark massive walls was a small
black door. And beneath this door c
and around this gateway, men were
busy, putting up strong timber rail
ings -;--while a crowd, talking and ges
ticulatbW constantly pressed in
among the workmen, and wore driven
back by officials in uniform, and a
few soldiers.
Inside the massive Walls, other
workmen were busy, brit ' the work
was commonplace enough. Some
thing was wrong with the main sew
er of the kul. Masons and bricklay
ers had been laboring for some hours;
and now when the city docks and
bells were striking six, they were tak
ing up their tools,_puttang on their
coats, and leaving their work till-next

sight of his forgotten team, who had
dragged tlia - plow after them to the
adjoining meadow, and were there. •
A siiddeji thought struck him, and
he hastily returned to the house with
his face flushed. As he entered- the
- kitchen he ran against the smith,
Martin Leary, who was staring about
him.
' Martin, you're true and holiest,
I know; and you'd do a good turn as
soon as any man I know," said Pat
Moran, abruptly.
"There's me hand on it," returned
the smith, bringing down his black
fist on the other's , shoulder. In a few,
words he was told what was required
of him, and also of the bright thought
that had just occurred to Pat Mouin.
" Here 1 Let me at it," cried the
smith, enthusiastically grasping his
chisel and hammer. Thereupon the
farmer led him into the little room,
where Kate was administering hot tea
and smoking - griddle cake-to the'poor
fellow, who , ate and drank almost me
chanically, with his eyes fixed on the
pretty face and busyJhauds that min
istered to him.
"Here, Tim's some one to do you
a good turn. Horrid out your hands,
Me boy ! Peggy," turning to hismife,
- who was devoutly groaning and Wr
ing her. beads in a .corner, "go and
get me ould clothes, and Kitty, run
for that yellow clay in the kitchen

bid, and when she returned with the
clay, she was, desired to keep out cf.
the room for a few minutes.
- " Mother, honey, what are they do

addressing her husband, who came
out of the bedroom, dressed in his

roys and new gray stockings. ,
" I'M going to show this new—aar

• " Oh, father, honey ! Oh, Pat,

man, taking the pipe from his mouth,
said solemnly, "May -God forzrsr
bless you, Pat Moran, an' you Mrs.
Moran. an' you Kate, an' you Martin
Leary," and he grasped their hands
all round.
" Come, 'tis six o'clock," said the
farmer. " Ton 'know where the plow
Maurice Slattery. You've a - new
piece of iron to melt, Martin. And,
KW, you've to bnry them t clothes.
Come, en' I'll show you where." Half
an hour afterwards he was riding
slowly to thd fair on his young horse,
which was to be sold, casting cau
tious glances backward at the field by
the river, where he could see his horses
plowing, and his new servant boy
toiling quietly after them. Such con
fusion and excitement had not been
known for years in the old 'cathedr.il
town. Police there were. none in
those days ; but the whole garrison
had turned out in search of the es:
coped felon. Groups of red-coats
TAM
pe bulated the- streets, the roads
leading to the country, and oven the
lanes and meadows. Hundreds of
country folk, who had come in to see
the execution, also crowded the town.
The throng on the prii3onbill was so
;dense that the farmer co uld scarcely
proceed a step. Th€ 4, were all talk;
ing vociferously in Irish or English,
every one giving his or her version of
the wonderful story. Some declared
that the .Prisoner had not escaped
and that it was a device of the au
thorities to conceal some foul play.
When Pat Moran had elbowed his
way frith great difficulty alniost to
the prison gates, he looked eagerly
for the objects of his search, some of
Tim's own people, whom he disclv
ered sitting and standing together in
'an excited group.
"Pat Moran, d'ye bleeve this ?"
said one of the men, hoarsely, clutch
ing the farmer's coat. D'ye Meow:
that poor Tim , has got out 'of their
cursed thrall ?"
" John Welsh, Tim did get out."
" Whisht I Lord save us 1" they
all broke in with one voice.
" Trisn'tf safe to say niore. I'm

The prison wanders were not long
in discovering by what means' the
prisoner had effected his eseape, and
from the opening the search was car
ried aboveground to the mouth of
the sewer where it' emptied itself in
to the river. A venturesotne spirit

careless. They merely asked two or
three questions in an irret elant way,
staring up a't the sky, and down at
the clay, as if they expected to see
the, prisoner transformed into a spirit
of earth •or, air. Then they ran off
again ; and -Welsh breathed freely
until he spied six other soldiers atd.

when, Kate came to cell - the plowboy

more acute than' her husband; an.
disliking the turn the conversation
was taking, bbegaan to introduce other
topics; but with little success, as her
husbaid" grew sleepy and stupid.
Kate sat quite Went, and. Welith was
sad. Thuathey sat until twelve had
struck, and then Welsh and the farm
er rose, to walk on to the cross-roads,
where the car was to be in_ readiness
with his relatives as convoy and body
guard. -Welsh shook Mrs. Mortin's
hanthand, andlissed it in the full
ness of his emotion, uttering ' broken
,words of gratitude and blessing.
Then he turned to' Hate,...whe was
weeping silently; he _strove to speak,
but words failed hint, and htg grasped
her hand passionately and turned
away. "I'll shut the gate afther ye,"
said Kate, following them_ out oat°
the darknesii. So she did, and Welsh
delayed a moment,. helping, herto
find the loop and -staple,- probably
thongh be strove to._ put; a few hasty
words• together, which had no refer
ence to. the gate.
•‘.ll,eeP up our heart, Rate, agra,"he
whispered; "I'll send ye a letther
whin I get safe over, place - God!"
Welsh sailed for Englandin a small
coasting vessel, and thence to Liv
erpool, where he remained concealed
for some weeks untll the ardor of the
pursuit after him had abated; he em
barked on board a fast-sailing - vessel
—for there were no steamers in thfase
days—for America. - When he landed
he sought the home of a relative who
had been settled in the, country for
some years, and, by industry and
strict honesty—for the :dreadful less
on taught him was hot wasted—he
very soon became - independent of his,
coasin, and had his own snug hotige
nest ti riving farm.
He wrote regularly to the Morans
to thefather first, then to the mother,
and, lastly, to the daughter. When I
he bad amassed a little money he
role again to the farmer, telling the
astonished man his hopes and wishes
concerning Kate. Peggy Moran an
grily declared her husband to have
been blind alt along—as- there is no
doubt he walL-hut she positively re
fused to listen fora moment to the
audacious suitor. However; "time
works' wonders." Her violent ofipo--
sition had died away gradually, and
Kate waited patiently. At the end
of five Te,ars, her father being then
dead. the •and her mother departed
for the and beyond the sea..
• Thisitme story was relatZd to the
writer - iby ; (l, gray-haired widow; - 7, an
Irish, emigrant who had returned; af
ter many years, from America, to 'die
at home. Though her form was bent
•by the weight of-more than seventy
years, herjnemou was clear and re
tilitfve, and-her voice trembled and
her'clim blue eyes
.sparkled, as of
yen., with excitement in her recital
of the perils undergone by Welsh,the
lour of her youth, and the fond and
faithfal husband whose joys and sor
sows she had shared for forty Years.
And now she had come home to die
in the little cottage by the river
where she had first known- him, and
where she had first succored him in
in the hour of his danger- and dis
tress. On'y its a poor thing to think
that I

THE DEAD :SOLDIXEIS TEMPE
A Discourse read Wore the (;:A.11.. et Smith,
Arid, May 2D,1869.
BY Wc IL B. DWTER.
The soldser.of ancient time Was a_
mechanical power, owned and opera
ted by thOse who, in the parlance of
these days, had a divine right to their
service. They were einployed in sus=
taining the personal prerogative, or
in_ extending the Jurisdiction of their
Masten. Theyy lived without =On-
West in life iilbove violence and plun
der, and they died as brutes die, and
like brutes were forgotten by the liv
ing.
The ancient military triumph
graeld with the spoils of victory, and
distinguished pnsOners as trophies,
was always given in honor of official
power, never in = the interest of the
. soldier. Bay and laurel adorned the
htow of royal or . distinguished per
sons. . They Originated in the weak
ness and pride of imperial fancy, and
were epheineral in their character.
Nero, who celebrated his victory over
the Greek ballad-singersby - a display
of the resources of absolute rule, left
Rome a fugitive with a single attend
ant. Belisanrius, whose splendid tri
umph when returned from extensive
conquests was the admiration of the
world, lived to repeat in the same
street which was the scene of his tri
urtiph, " give l3elisaurius a penny r
44. The Union army gave visiMlity , to
;the convictions,. instincts and hopes
of the people. Soldiers'were the yol
unto-ill' and .sworn defenders of a free
goverment.: They were the repre
sentative men of - the country in a time
of peculiar trial::: .When-time has giv
&perspective to this terrible national
tragedy, we may have a history of our
civil war which will bn satisfactory.
'The present duty involves an act_
expressive of gTateful remembrimee
of valuable services given under pe-
Culiar difficulties, for the salvation
of the country. • Tnuisferred from

.The " Grand Army of the Repub

the-intereiit of /ivini soldiers, and of
-the-honest fame of the dead whoere
their,comkianions in the tent' and in

public sympathy may second their ef

patronage and elective offices in
the gift of the people. g It is expeet,d
that more than initial Measures will
erelong be taken to secure the 01.-

-should cause the names otall soldiers
who have died in the military ser
vice, from Ouch 'places, to be engraveit
on a marble slab subject• to

No just-man will say that this is
too much— r more gthan they deserve. .

It maybe 'tine that some . ' of these
men- Were. sacrificed - without
eat ; unless the stnpiditrand inhti-
Minify of officers holding high, corn
' missions, are accepted as a sufficient
cause:
„ When we consider how many were
ruined by long marches and shot i re
lions, how many were destroyed in - -
hospitals by want - of care and by mal
practice—how many were' lost for •
Want.of seasonable relief, tihiely sup
port, and add that theatat Army of
the Fotokile was for years subject to
all of these causes of diminution be- -
fore it achieved its first decisive vie
tory, we are forced to the unwelcome
conclusion that there may have been
an unjustifiable waste of ,life for which
somebody was reSponsible. • 1
I cannot forget, nor would' I flail to
mention, those who formd death alone
—the places of whose sepulture is not
known to this day. Their record is
lost, their fate invoked in mystery.
Friends anxiously look for their -Te-` l7
appearance.' They stare an eternal
vacancy.
No fellow soldier's friendly face im
parted ayinpathy in the hour of death.
NO farewell shot honored the soldier's
burial. I The graceless and ilanteltw
dead k soldiers must live in the public
heart; as worthy of the meet of. mat

- Living so near the culmination of
the eivikwur, you are able to institute
a sort OT pnictical record, which, if
observed, will constitute an interest-.

down the stream of years and ages,
"we anticipate `your successors doing
