A GALLANT RIDE.
A Story of Rti Adams County Boy.
PIUVATK JoliuTlalnea, Capt. Ha
rletlne's Company, Sixth Penn'a.
Cavalry, was born and raised In Llttles
town, Pa. nine tulles below Gettysburg,
and was a drug clerk In Philadelphia,
when he took the war fever, and went
out with the Sixth, then known as
Hush's Lancers. All the years of his
minority having been spent In Adams
county In the service of his father, who
was a country huckster and butcher,
every high-road and by-path of that now
historical region was as familiar to him
as the rooms in Ills father's house.
John was a very taciturn young man
known as an excellent soldier, a student
of books and of. nature, well liked
among his comrades.but a man who did
not parade his knowledge, and whose
courage and daring were not of a dem
onstrative character In camp or on the
march. He hail the confidence of his
officers, to whose wonder he had more
than a dozen times refused the chevrons
which would have set him fair on his
way to the shoulder straps.
" I'm sure, I feel greatly obliged to
you, Captain," he would say, "but the
responsibility of taking care of myself
is aliout as much as I feel competent
for." Then the Captain would tell him
pleasantly that he talked nonsense, was
standing In his own light, etc., and the
matter would rest until the time came
to make another batch of corporals and
sergeants.
On the night of Juno !8th, Huford's.
Cavalry Division was pushing forward
from Frederick City towards the fated
field of Gettysburg, and were wearing
Llttlestown. Private Haines was riding
as orderly to Captain Ilnzletine, tbe si
lent starlight dimly disclosing the rich
and varied landscape where all Hie air
was redolent with faint perfume of flow
ers aud the rich odor of new-mown hay,
and all the scene was suggestive of
peaceful content that dreamed not of
the rude storm of war that was so soon
to break over It. lla.letine who was an
artist with an artist's appreciation for
beauty In nature as in everything elne
was ga.lng about him in a dreamy sort
of admiration of the dusky panorama,
which disclosed just enough of its treas
ures to make the icsthetlc soul yearn for
more.
He turned in his saddle and spoke to
his orderly as they rode a little apart :
" Haines, this must be a lovely coun
try, If one could get a fair view of it
with a proper quantity of daylight."
" It Is, sir," said the orderly. " I
think it Is the fuirest portion of Upd's
footstool ; but 1 may be prejudiced in its
favor V"
" Why, have you ever been here be
fore y
" I was born and raised within a mile
of where we arf , and may say I have
been over every acre of ground within
twenty miles around here."
" The deuce you say I and.yet it is not
strange. We have men in the army
from almost every place under the sun.
Bo you are a native and to the manor
born V"
"YeBsir; my people all still live in
Llttlestown, just ahead of us. I should
like It very much if you would stop at
my father's house a few minutes. They
are sure to be up and looking for us."
11 Of course, Haines, I will stop If it is
a pleasure to you, and I don't see how it
could be anything else." Here the con
versation dropped and In a few minutes
the column halted with the Sixth just
in the outskirts of the village. -The
captain and orderly rode a few hundred
yards further and stopped before a neat
comfortable-looking dwelliug where
Haines dismounted and going up to a
group at tbe gate, said coolly :
" Iillla, wont you get the captain and
me some water i Mother, how do you
do ? Father, how are you ?"
Then there was a commotion in that
peaceful family. The eldest boyhad
returned after an absence of seven
years, and had returned a soldier. If he
had returned a prince he could not have
been more gladly received, and the cup
of happiness of his kindred was full.
The old man grasped his hand as he
dashed a joyous tear from his eye, while
the gray haired mother pressed her boy
to her bosom and thanked Heaven for
the hour that bad brought him back.'
His bright eyed, raven haired, pretty
little sister Amarllla, danced wildly
around him, imprinting joyous kisses
upon hand, lip and brow, whichever she
found most accessible in the melee of
gladness, utterly forgot the request for
water by which the hero had Introduced
himself, while Capt. Hazletlue sat on
his horse admiring the group and imag
ining beautiful art creations of the
" Soldier's Return."
The greetings having subsided, Haines
introduced his captain, whom his father
took at once in charge.
" Captain, 'light right down at once
and come into the house. Killa, bring a
chair here for the captain to step on, he
must be awful tired. Walk right in
with the women, captain, while I put
up the beasts." The worthy burgher
had but dim and hazy Ideas of war and
Its lmperltles, and only felt the Joy of
being able to extend the rights of hospl
talllty to his son and friend.
" No, Mr. I laities, we can't think of
parting with our horses. The most we
can do Is to stay with you a few min
utes, The command may move at once
and we must not be fur away,"
"Only a few minutes 1 Good gra
cious 1 and there's the old woman and
Kllla have not seen the boy for a half a
dozen of years', and I never saw a cap.
tain, that Is a real captain In my life,
and I would like to talk to you about
the war."
" But fate was Inexorable, aud after a
hasty, bountiful meal, the captain and
his orderly parted, and reached the
columns just In lime to find that Gen,
lluford had sent for Capt. Hazletlne and
they proceeded to the head of the col
umn. Captain Hazletlne learned that
he was detailed to command a squadron
for special recounolsance, and after giv
ing him full Instructions, the General
continued as If communing with him.
self:
" Just because I particularly want it,
there don't seem to be an ofllcer or a sol
dier about who can give me any Infor
mation in regard to the roads and topog
raphy of this region."
" I think, General, that I have a man
right here who can tell you anything
you wish most reliably. Haines," he
called, " come forward here."
The General asked Haines a few sharp
searching questions, which were an
swered promptly and satisfactory. Then
he told what he wanted.
" Orderly Haines," and the brusque
ness of aunoyance faded out of his voice
" the duty I wish may be most arduous
and dangerous, or the information I
wunt may be easily obtained and with
out much risk. I cannot tell. But the
information I must have, aud have it
promptly. It will not do to send a
large force, or even a squad of cavalry,
as this would disclose my whereabouts).
The man who performs this duty must
go ulone And go as a spy. You know
what his fate will be if captured V"
"I do."
" Are you willing to undertake it V"
" I am."
" I like your answers, and sincerely
hope both for your own sake and mine
that you may have success. I have
heard that Gen. Hill, with his whole
corps, Is advancing or about to advance,
through the mountains on the Cash town
road. I want to be satisfied as to wheth
er this is so or not, and know in what
direction he is moving. You must go
in disguise, and go alone. You will
have no trouble I think in reaching the
mountain now but your great danger
will be from Hill's cavalry, and your
greatest safety is in disguise that will
prevent the suspicion of your being a
soldier, as they are not likely to give
you much trouble as a citizen. They
are to desirous to conciliate the people
In their own favor. You understand
me now, and I hope you will do your
best with your best apeed."
Hazeltine and Haines left the General
and the latter rode straight to his fath
er's house. In half an hour, dressed in
a suit of his father's harvesting clothes
and mounted on one of his best horses
on an old hog-skin saddle full of holes,
he departed, taking his father, dressed
in his uniform, and his own horse with
him. His plans he explained to the old
gentleman as they rodo along.
" I don't seem to understand this kind
of war pretty well," said the elder
Hains doubtfully, " but if it comes to
riding in a hurry, as you say, there's not
a man in Adams county can cut more
air than me in the same time if the hoBs
can get over tbe ground."
About five or six miles out in the val
ley toward Emmlttsburg, Haines left his
father at the house of a farmer they
knew, with the following simple in
structions :
"Ills now 1 o'clock in tbe morning
father, and I am going farther on. I
want you and all the folks here to keep
a good lookout for me as I come back.
Watch the road toward the mountain
yonder, and if you see me come riding
for life have my horse out in the road
ready for me to jump on, then take
this one and hide that uniform in tbe
fire if you have time, and stay here un
till I come up, and I will tell you what
to do."
Young Haines rode away Into the
darkness, while the old man called up
Mr. Skerry and his family, and disclos
ed his strange business, while they star
ed In wonder at the queer figure he cut
in a cavalryman's uniform several sizes
too small for him. They were good
Union people, however, and besides it
was to oblige an old friend, and all
hands gave their assistance with alacri
ty. They posted themselves at the best
out-looks, and patiently waited for day.
light. ,
In the meantime Haines with a full
sack of corn meal on the horse before
blm pushed on as fust as his load would
allow him toward the mountain. The
first gray streaks of daylight were ap
pearing in the east as he entered the
pass, and so far he. had seen nothing
suspicious In the direction of Chambers,
burg. He passed mure than two-thirds
of the way through the defile, and was
seeking to reaoh a turn In the road
which commanded a view of the valley
beyond, when the sudden blast of bu
gles startled him, and down in the
morning mist not more than a half a
mile, away he dlmely discovered a large
cavalry camp. He stopped, ami a few
minutes of Increasing daylight dlsclos.
lng the whole of Hill's corps, as it after,
wards proved, In bivouac aud making
hasty preparations for breakfast. Desir
ing a nearer view he pushed on around
the turn, and was brought up by a cav
alry picket."
" Who goes there r"
" It's me ', only me," and the verdant
youth advanced with the confidence of
innocence.
' Halt, you cussed hayseed peddler, or
else I'll blow a potato hole lu you !
Who are you, aud what do ye want yar
anyhow V"
"Why It's onlymesojer. Ialntgnt
no hayseed. This Is corn meal, and I'm
goln' home from mill."
" Corporal of the guard 1" yelled the
picket. That officer appeared, and took
a glance at the situation. He was a
man of business and few words.
" Yank, get off'n that critter."
" Mister Sojer, I want to go home
with my meal. Dad's a waltln' "
" Git down," and the reb brought his
revolver up to his eye with persuasive
promptness, " Tote that sack of meal
down hyar," and he led Haines back to
the picket reserve, leudlug the horse
himself. " Lieutenant, byar'a a blame
fool Yank, an' a Iiobb an' a meal sack
jist camo in ; what'll I do with him V"
" Turn the boss in, divide the meal,
and send the fellow to headquarters."
In ten minutes Haines was, blubbering
like a great calf, led into the presence
of Gen. Hill.
"Who are you my many" said the
General as he made his morning ablu
tions In a horse bucket.
"I'm Hi Mooney, and I'm a-comln
home from the mill, and they took
Buckeye from me, they did, aud my
meal too. Won't you make those sojers
give me my Buckeye back again t
Dad'll raise thunder if you don't."
" So you say your name Is Mooney, Is
lty
" Yes sir, just Mooney, sir ; old Sime
on Mooney's son over yonder. Mother
she was a Landis, one of the LandiB
from down to Catocton, and, "
" Well, you are the moonlest chap
I've seen for some time. And the offic
ers standing about, as In duty bound,
nearly split themselves at their superi
or's hugh joke, aud their mirth was in
creased by the Yank's innocent query ;
" Who are you, so)er r Where are
you going to t Are you going down our
wayy"
" Hill is my name, sir ; son of old
man Hill down south, and I am going
to Philadelphia. Have you seen any
Yankee soldiers in you travels ?"
, " No, I aiut seen no sojers. I heard
there were a whole lot at Chambersburg
aud Hagerstown, though,"
" They are not the kind we are look
ing for," and General Hill having fin
ished his hasty toilet, consulted a few
minutes with his officers, aside aud then
said :
"Mr. Mooney, I guess you'd better
run home. Your people may be aux
lous about you. Adjutant give him t
sate-guaru or some Kind mat will see-
him through our people to the rear."
Haines was given his paper, and after
a little useless pleading to have Buck
eye restored, started off in apparently
very low spirits. He lost no time, how
ever, in getting out of the lines, and run
with all his speed to the farm of a Mr.
Stonier on the Chambersburg road,
where he was known, and where with a
hasty explanation, he procured the only
horse tbe Union man had left. He was
now six miles beyond Gettsyburg, and
over a mile in the rear and to the right
of Hill's' Corps. He loBt no time in
mounting and made a wide circut to
reach the Cashtown road again. He
struck It through a by lane about six in
the morning, and looking in the direc
tion of the pass saw the head of a Con
federate cavalry squad but a short dis
tance down the road. They yelled at
him to stop, but he paid no heed, and
set of at full speed toward Skerry's
where he had left his father. After a
short pursuit the rebels gave him up and
in about an hour the watchers saw him
coming at full speed. The old man had
the boy's horse out in the road in a
twinkling, and hastily changing horses
he rode away. There was no time to
don his uniform, which was in five min
utes more buried in the depths of the
ash-hopper in Skerry's yard while Stof
fier's horse was hurried away to a re
mote pasture behind the woods.
Haines now changed his course and
made straight for Gettysburg, aud about
eight o'clock a few of Bu ford's men who
had strayed Into town, were astonished
at the apparition of an uncouth couutry
man on a reeking cavalry horse thun
dering wildly through tbe main street
from the Cashtown roadt yelling ;
" Where Is Huford's headquarters ?"
In five minutes more lie was In the
presence of the General, and had deliv
ered his Information in one concise
enterfee :
"General Hill with his whole corps
Is coming through tbe mountains,
from Chambersburg on tbe Cashtown
road."
An exultant smile lit up the stern fea
tures of the rugged cavalry comiflander
as he patted Haines on the shoulder say
ing :
" My good fellow, you have done no
bly, I know just what to do now, and
Mr. Hill will have to consult my pleas
ure before he comes further ; and In an
hour Buford's gallant check of Hill's
wild career had opened as the prelimi
nary action to the most porteullous bat
tle of the war.
And Haines' gallant ride was not for
gotten j and now, away out somewhere
In the Indian country, he Is laboring
under the responsibility of a pair of reg
ular army shoulder straps.
SUNDAY READIN3.
About Funerals.
lie v. Dr. Magoou, pastor of the
Broad Street Baptist church, l'liila., In
his sermon a few Sundays ago, In allu
ding to the present mode of conducting
funerals, remarked:
" Women should never go to funerals;
they ought to remain at home. They
forget that tbe Journey to the tomb of a
beloved relative or friend may prove the
origin of their own burial. They forget
or overlook tbe fact that when the
breath of life leaves the body decomposi
tion at once sets in and oxygen gas as
serts its Influence, permeating every por
tion of tbe body and forcing Its subtle
poison upward to the surface of the
ground, where it spreads malaria, in a
greater or less degree Should a river or
flowing water run contiguously by the
cemetery, so much greater the pestilen
tial consequences ; for bear In mind that
every clod of the earth Is saturated with
death."
The revereud gentleman deuounced
the habit of closing up houses when
deaths occurred, alluding to the prac
tice as dangerous and promotive of di
sease. "The plan of furnishing flowers is
also a wf ong and expensive one, tending
to circulate a subtle poison, which
would mark numerous victims of its
own. Let the practice of flowers be
done away with, and our sympathy
manifest in a more becoming way.
The expenses of modem funerals
are outrageous. In thousands of cases
it so happens that expensive outfits and
suits are used, which entail oftentimes
a large amount of money to discharge.
Borrowed dresses for funerals are even
in demand, a feature which should be
done away with, there being no necessi
ty to-day such a practical demonstration
of woe.
"Again, what a barbarous practice
we have of closing in our houses,
shutting the doors aud drawing tbe cur
tains when a person dies. People seem
to forget that when death occurs a future
life begins, that what is grief to tbe
mourners is joy to the departed soul.
We want no drawn blinds, no dead
flowers, no display of woe or gaib of
mourning, but a cheerful spirit of resig
nation, knowing and believing with the
apostles, that, " to depart and be with
Christ is far better."
Authorship of the Psalms.
It is common to speak of the entire
.book as tbe "Psalms of David."
Whereas, it is probable that only seventy-three
psalms or about one half of
the collection are from the inspired
pen of the poet king of Israel. Twelve
of the sacred songs are ascribed to Amph,
a man of exquisite delicacy of feeling,
who lived during David's reign about
1,000 years before the advent of Christ.
Two of them are ascribed to that uni
versal genius, King Solomon. That
"lofty and melancholy psalm," the
nineteenth, which has been chanted a
the funeral march of so many a departed
saint, is universally held to have been
written by Moses himself. It is proba
bly the oldest of psalms, as Damascus Is
the oldest of cities : How magnlficient
this ancient lyric opens ! " Lord ! thou
has been the dwelling place of thy peo
ple in all generations. Before the
mountains were brought forth, or even
thou hadst formed the earth and tbe
world, even from everlasting thou art
GodI"
The authorship of sixty of the psalms
is somewhat uncertain. A portion of
tbem are ascribed to tbe " sons of Koran.
" One is attributed to the pen of Heman,
another to Ethan the Kzrahite, who
both lived in the reign of Solomon.
But however various the pens that in
scribe them on tbe parchments they all
bear the same Internal evidence of a
celestial Inspiration.
C$"Heaven'n gates are uot so highly
arched as princes' palaces ; they that
enter there must go upon their knees.
