THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS jly SMITH, WIKLE & CO.] [For the Standard A Express. THE VALUE OF LIFE. InjilitaJ fro® tke Frock, fej I:*. 1. f. Safari Dedicated to the “Clloplan Literary So ciety,” of Cartersville Female Seminary, Joseph, opening the drawing-room door, announced to us that the ]x«t chais > was ready. My mother and sister threw themselves into my arms. “ There is yet time,” they cried, “ to give up this journey and remain with us.” “My mother, I am a nobleman, I am twenty years old, and it is time that my name was known in the land, and that I enter upon a public care* r, either in thearmy or at court.” “ And when you are gone, Ber nard, what will become of me?” “ You will la? proud and happy in hearing of the success of your son.” “Anil if you sire killed in some battle?” “ What does it signify ? What is life? Is it not a dream? And one dreams only of glory when he is twenty years old and a nobleman. I shal l return to you, mother, in a few years, a colonel or field-marshal, or with some high post at Versailles.” “Ah, well! what will happen then ?” “ Then I shall be respected and looked up to by all, and each one will take off his hat to me.” “ And afterwards?” “ I shall marry iny cousin Henri etta, I shall see my young sisters married, and we will all live with you tranquil and happy, on my es tates in Brittany.” “ What hinders yon from begin ning this life to-day ? lias not your father left you the finest fortune in the country, and is there for ten leagues around a richer domain and a more beautiful castle than that of Roche-Bernard? Are you not hon ored now by your vassals, and when you pass through the village floes one of them fail to take off his hat? Do not leave us, my son ; stay with your friends, your sisters, and w'itii your old mother, whom, at your re turn, perhaps you will no longer see. Do not waste on vain glory, or short en by anxieties and pain of every kind, the days which already flow by so swiftly. Life is a sweet gift, my son, and tin* sunlight of Brittany is so lovely.” Baying this, she showed me through the window of the drawing-room the beautiful walks in my park, the old chestnut trees in bloom, thejasmines, j the honeysuckles whose perfume em balmed the breezes, and whose foliage gleamed in the sun. In the ante-chamber stood the gar dener with all his family. Bad and silent, they also seemed to say : “ Do ! not go, our young master, do not go.” Hortense, my eldest sister, clasped me in her arms, and Amelia, my lit tle sister, who was in a corner of the room busy looking at the pictures in i Fontaine's Fables, drew near me and ; handing me the book : “ Read, read this, brother,” she said weeping. It was the fable of the “ Two Pigeons.” I arose abruptly, i repulsed them all. “1 am twenty years old, lam a nobleman, i must have honor and seek glory,-—let me go.” And 1 darted into tin* open court, and had climbed into the past-chaise, when a woman appeared upon the steps of the balcony. Henrietta! Blie did not weep, she did not utter a word; but pale and trembling, sin* could hardly stand. With a white handkerchief which she held in her hand she waved rne a final adieu, then fell uueoneious. 1 flew to her, I raised her up, 1 pressed her to my heart, and vowed to love her through life; and the very moment she came to herself, leaving her to the care of my mother and sister, 1 ran to my carriage without stopping, or turning my head. Had I looked at Henriet ta, 1 could not have gone.—A few minutes afterwards the post-chaise was rolling along the highway. For sometime 1 thought only of Henrietta, of my sisters, my mother, and of all the happiness 1 had left behind; but these ideas faded gradu ally as the the turrets of lioche- Bernard disappeared from my sight, and shortly dreams of ambition and glory took sole possession of ray spir it. What projects! What castles in Spain! What grand actions 1 per formed in my post-chaise! Riches, honors, dignities, success of every kind, 1 refused nothing: I merited, and 1 allowed myself everything ; in short, rising in rank as 1 advanced in my journey, l was duke and peer, governor of a province and marshal of France, when I arrived in the even- ing at my inn. The voice of my servant, who cull ed me by the modest title, M. de j Cfn mtu r, alone restored me to my-; self and forced me to abdicate. The 1 next day and the succeeding week, the same dreams beguiled me, for my journey was long. It led mo to the suburbs of Sedan, where resided: the Duke of C ,an old friend of: mv father and patron of my family. ; He was to take me with him to • Paris, whither he was going shortly, ! to present me at Versailles, and use ids interest to obtain for me a milita- j ry command. I arrived at Sedan too j late in the afternoon to go to the! castle of my patron, so l delayed my visit till the morrow, and took lodg- j ings at the Armes-de-France, the j finest hotel in the town and the com mon resort of all the officers, for Se- ; dan is a garrison town, a fortified place. The streets have a war-like j aspect, and the citizens themselves j wear a martial air which seems to say to strangers: “ \Ye are country men of the great Turenne.” I supped at the public table, and inquired the read to the castle of the | Duke of C , situated three leagues j from the town. Anyone could point it out, was the 1 reply, for it was well known through the country. In th! - castle died a great warrior, a cell .ated man, the Marshal Fa bert. —And the conversation turned upon Marshal Fabert : among young soldiers this was natural. They spoke of his battles, of his exploits, of his modesty which caused him to refuse the letters of nobility and the decorations of rank tendered to him by Louis XIV. TheV magnified especially the extraordina ry good fortune which had raised him from a simple soldier to be a marshal of France, a fortune which, even during the lift* of Fabert, had ap peared so wonderful that the super stitious had not scrupled to attribute his elevation to supernatural causes.! They said that when a boy hehad stud- 1 iud magic and sorcery, and had made a compact with the devil. And our ! landlord who to the stupidity of his own province added the credulity of our Breton peasantry, asssured us with great coolness that at the castle of the Duke of C , when Fabert died, a black man whom no i one knew had been seen to en ter into his room, and disappeared bearing with him the soul of the i Marshal which he had formerly j bought, and which belonged to him ; and that even now, in the month of May, the anniversary of the death of Fabert, this same black man re-ap peared in the evening, bearing with him a small taper. This narrative amused us, and we drank a bottle of champagne to the familiar (lemon of Fabert,-wish ing he would take us also under his protec tion, and enable us to gain some bat tles like those of Collioure and La Marfee. The next (lay 1 arose very earlv, and repaired to the castle of the Duke of C ,an immense gothic structure, which at another time I should not perhaps have specially remarked, but which I now contemplated with eu riosity mingled with emotion, as I recalled the tale we bail heard the evening before from the landlord of the Annes-de-Franee. The footman who answered ray summons did not know whether his master was yet visible. i sent in my name, and he departed, leaving me alone in a kind of entrance-hall, decorated with trophies of the chase and with family portraits. I waited sometime, and no one came. “ This career of glory and honor of which I have dreamed com mences by dancing attendance in an ante-chamber,” said 1 to myself, and the discontent and impatience of a solicitor for favor gained upon me. I had already counted two or three times all the family portraits and all the beams in the ceiling, when I heard a slight noise in the wainscot. It was a door ill-closed that the wind had just blown open. I looked, and 1 saw a very pretty boudoir lighted by two large windows, and a glass door opening into a magnificent park. I had advanced some steps in this apartment When I was arrested by a •sight which had not before struck my eyes. A man, his back turned to the door by which 1 had entered, was lying upon asofa. He arose, and, without perceiving me, ran to one of the win- j down. Tears streamed down his cheeks, a profound despair rested up on every feature. i le remained sometime motionless, his head drooping in his hands; then began to traverse the room with rap id stridt*s. I stood near him ; he perceived me and started back. As for me, morti fk*d and bewildered by my indisere- 1 tion, I would have retired stammer ing some excuse. “ Who are you, what do you want ?” said he in astern voice, and catching me by the arm. “ i am the chevalier Bernard, of Roche-Bernard, andhavejust arrived from Brittany.” “ 1 know, i know,” he cried, and welcomed me most cordially, mak ing me sit down beside him, speak ing to me so eagerly about my father and family, whom he seemed to khow well, that L could not doubt that lie was the master of the castle. “ You are M. O ?” said I. Looking at me strangely, he re plied, “ 1 was the duke, I am he no longer, J am less than nothing.” Seeing my astonishment, he exclaim ed, “ Not a word more, young man; do not question me,” “If, sir, 1 have unwittingly beheld ; your grief, and if my devotion and friendship could alleviate it ” “ Yes, yes, you are right; not that you can alter anything in my fate, but you can at least receive my last! wishes and vows. This is the" only service I expect of you.” He closed | the door, and returned to my side, who, touched and trembling,awaited : his words. His countenance wore an expres sion I had never seen before on a hu man face. His brow which I exam ed attentively seemed marked by destiny. 11 is face was pale; his black eyes Hashed like lightning, and from time to time his features, though altered by suffering, were contracted by a fearful and ironical smile. “That which I am going to tell you,” he said, “ will shock your rea son. You will doubt, nay, refuse to believe; 1 very often doubt it my self, at any rate I wish to do so, but the proofs are here, and there is in everything which surrounds us, in the very organization of our being, many mysteries that we are compelled to receive with out comprehending them.” He paused a moment as if to collect his thoughts, passed his hand across his brow, and continued: “1 was born in this castle. 1 lmd two elder broth ers to whom reverted the fortune and honors of our house. I had nothing to hope for save the mantle and bands of a priest, yet thoughts of ambition and glory settled in my brain, and made ray heart throb wildly. Un happy in my obscurity, ambitions of renown, I thought only of how I might acquire it, and this idea made me insensible to all the pleasures of life. The present was nothing to me, 1 lived only in the future, and this future presented itself under the darkest aspect. “ 1 was nearly thirty years old and had accomplished nothing, when we heard on all sides of the literary rep utations built up in Paris whose splendid fame echoed even to our remote province. 1 Ah,’ said I to myself, ‘if I could only makeanaftie in a literary career! This would be imperishable honor and happiness.’ 1 had lor the confidant of ray troubles an old domestic, a Haytien, who was in this castle long before my birth. Indeed no one remember ed when he came to it; the country people pretend that he knew the Marshal Fabert, and was present at his death.” At this moment the narrator saw me make a gesture of surprise, paus ed, and asked what 1 meant. “ Nothing,” I said, but, spite of my self, I thought of the black man of whom the landlord had spoken the previous evening. (CONCLUSION NEXT WEEK.) [Written for the Standard & Express. INCIDENTS OF THE WAR. From an Unpublished Manuscript. BY A LADY OK BAHTOVT COUNTY, GEORGIA. j “No use is there in sighing, For time is ever flying, And if we sit with folded hands, Sighing like grief with sable hands, Within will joy be dying.” J ust at night fall some soldiers rode up to the gate from the opposite di rection of the one the Yankees had come in the morning, but it was too i dark to distinguish the “ blue from! the gray.” One of them spoke to me, and asked if I was Mrs. . I re plied in the affirmative. He then asked me if I would please come out j to the gate, that he wanted to see me i a moment. “ Really, sir,” said I, “ I do not know whether to do so or not; I know not whether you are a friend or foe.” Said he. “ I assure you, madam, on the honor of a soldierand gentleman that you have nothing to fear, and that you shall be protected.” Nevertheless I did not like my situa tion at all, buts thought 1 would make the best of it: so I went out and found they were Confederate sol diers, and had come on to'obtain in formation of the whereabouts of the Yankees, but I knew no more than what I had seen that morning. The day had been an unusually quiet one after the Yankees left, and my hus band had • made his escape. ‘As he rode up to the gate that morning, a soldier was with him, and I had in sisted on his going no further, but he, riding off, told me that he would come back and tell us all about the Yankees in a short while. They might, either one have seen the other as they were on opposite roads. It was several days before we heard from him, and we feared he had been captured, but lie was not. These ! soldiers told me that they had heard through my husband of the Yankees that we here in the morning, and they were sent to me for information and directions to go as near their ! camps as possible, and were anxious i to find out the different fords on the creek, so as to avoid the bridge. J ust then Alfred came up, and 1 proposed to t hem to press him in as a pilot, which the Yankees had frequently : done, as he knew all the different j points, and I knew him to be reliable, ! and they all left together. Just as I had fallen asleep I heard someone hollo at the gate. I an swered them, and they told me they were two soldiers hurrying out from the Yankees; that they were not far behind, and they wanted some direc tions about the road. I was asleep again when I heard suddenly a loud, boisterous rap at the door, and I was ordered to come out. Said I, “ I can hot come out, lam alone; but I can give you any information that you may ‘want, that is in my power. They then enquired of me how many soldiers I had seen that day, and I told them I supposed about 20. I an swered all of their questions to the I>est of my ability, and when they , were through, I said: “ Now, gentle men, I would like to a-k a few ques tions : What command do you be long to, and in what direction are you going?” They told me they be longed to Gen. ‘Hill’s command. They endeavored to make me believe , they were Confederates, but I knew full*well they were Yankees, and I listened and‘found they were going westward, right in the direction our soldiers had all gone. The third time I was sleeping, when I was awakened about 12 o’clock by a dull, slow, regular tramp, and 1 knew in a moment an army was passing. The children all awoke, and I could scarcely quiet them. “ Listen, mamma, at the soldiers; don’t you hear them?” and then they would plead for a light. “ Mamma, it is dark, I want to get up,” but 1 dared not have a light; yet it was awful, the darkness and suspense of that terrible night. For three long] hours they were passing. I vainly hoped it was a forced march, and tl\ey could not stop, but suddenly I heard a yell and a voice hollo out, “There, by G —d! my horse has j broken his neck.” I knew now that if they were compelled to stop, they would come in to pillage and plun der ; and at this time of night, too. j I told the children they must be | perfectly quiet, and Charley and ray nurse I cautioned not to stir or open the door at all. Boon they began to ! come in. They came to the door and ! ordered it opened, but for a long while l would not answer them. At last they threatened to break down the , door. 1 finally told them to let the door alone, that I would not open it, that they had no right to come in; but they actually did burst tiie door 1 open and come in. The woman j sleeping on the floor then began to , hollo out, “You are walking on mv head.” ()ne of them asked who she was. “Only a black girl,” said she. “ llow large are you,” asked one of them. 1 was amused at her reply, “Only a little one.” They then began to call loudly for ! lights, and I really preferred a light > then, so 1 asked, “ Have any of you a match?” They said they had. j “Well,” said I, “ light one and you ! will find a candle on the bureau;” | and 1 then directed them to a box of i candles. Boon they all had lights, j anil there was the room filled with j these ruffians. They then began to \ plunder, and search in every direc- j tion. They seemed to be looking for ; money and something to eat at the i same time. I finally arose, took my j baby in my arms, and lighting a can-! die myself, I followed them into the j (lining room. They had found a j door or drawer that would not yield to them. They tried every way to open it, and 1 made a feint at trying to assist them. It contained the only ham I had seen for months. My husband’s mother had brought it to him the day before, and he had been compelled to leave so abruptly that j he could not take it with him. The J Yankees did not get it though, for j they seemed to be in a hurry. They ] reached another door, and found it j locked, and called loudly for the keys ; and, fearing they would break ! the door down as they had the other j one, or destroy the key, 1 carried it | myself, and unlocked the door for! them, and I accidentally discovered they were shading their lights to keep from being seen in the road. I then walked on into the room, and threw the front door wide open, when one of them walked just up behind me and closed it. I came on then quick ly into the passage, walked on out in to the entry, and called loudly to know if there were any officers ’ out there; if there were to please come in to my relief, that the house was full of robbers. Immediately every light was extinguished, and they all left more suddenly than they had come in. By this time I supposed the horse had recovered from his fall, for they i were soon all gone. For the fourth time that night I tried to sleep, but all in vain, for I well knew what a wreck would meet my eyes at daylight. I supposed they were all gone, and that even the rear guard was out of hearing, when sud denly we heard the report of guns, l thought, one right after another; fast er and faster they went off, until they become to be almost deafening. Now, thought I, the rebels have fall en in behind them, and they are hav ing a regular fight; but Ben soon came in to tell me it was only some cartridges that Alfred had concealed in an old house on the road-side just below us, and the Yankees had from mere wickedness set fire to the house as they passed, and as it burnt down the cartridges began to burn. The servants went out and prevented the lire from doing any other damage, and the old house was really of but little service any way. Charlie went out as soon as it was light enough to see well, and came back to tell me that they had carried off “ old Cripple;” but they found her not far off, grazing on the road-side. They had found she could not travel, and had turned her loose, and we were really glad to have her again. We discovered that the fences were all on fire for a mile each way; so the servants had to go in both directions to extinguish it. We found that they had not done so much mischief after all, although coming at night had made it seem more awful; but now that the blessed sunshine had come again, it really seemed more like a terrible dream than a reality. One day, during the summer, a great tall, gaiint-looking fellow came stalk ing into my room, where I was sit ting all alone, and walking straight up to me said: “ I want you to cook me some bis cuit, madam.” I was perfectly indignant; so I an swered : “ I never cooked a biscuit in my life, sir, and the first one I cook will not be for a Yankee soldier.” “ Well,” said he, “ that woman in the kitchen says she would cook me some, but you will curse her for it when T am gone.” “ Well, sir,” said I, “ I do not be lieve you, but I will go and ask her.” “ Oh,” said he, “ you need not, for she said so.” I arose and walked to the door. Said I, “ Harriett, did you tell this man I would curse you if you cooked him some biscuit ?” “ Why,” said she, “you know I could never have told him such a thing, and he tells a story, too.” lie began to try to get out of it, when the soldiers began to laugh at him, and he was glad to slip out. lie came back early the next mor ning just as Ben and Alfred brought in a barrel of flour that they had en deavored to hide and could not. He came up to the barrel and swore he would open it. I declared he should not, and I finally took my seat ou the barrel, and there we quarrelled until two young looking soldiers came up, and I asked them to carry the barrel in the house for me, which they did and assured me that they would re port him at head quarters for his mis ! conduct. The next day I missed him, and enquired for him, and they told me that sure enough he had been re ported and sentenced to dig stumps ! all day. Not far from us lies our little Eu harlee village, and there lives a good Presbyterian minister, Mr. Johnson. Gen. Sherman,\vhen he reached there, j took possession of the beautiful and CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY ’ill. 187*. elegant residence of Judge Thomas Tundin—although his wife and chil dren were still there. One day Gen. Sherman sent a guard to conduct the minister to him. He went and was met by an officer, and carried in. Ho~had‘determined, he , said, to remain as quiet as possible, and not to speuk'onlv when spoken to, I and merely to answer them whatever ! question- they rnight”ask him. He was asked several questions and had | answered them promptly, and still • waited, when < Jen. Sherman evident ly paused as if hesitating whether to proceed farther or not. Said Mr. Johnson: “Are you through with me, Gen.*.’’ “ No,” said he, “ whom do you .sympathize with, sir, our army or the rebel one.” Looking straightforward at him, he answered like the same good man that he is, “ General, I was born and raised in the South, and every feeling of my heart is with our army, and,”, continued he, “if I should tell you otherwise you would not, could not Delieve me. “ Ye.-,’’-said he, “ 1 believe you are right. lam through with you. Gen tlemen, you can dismiss him.” IMTUONDIUS SO. 2. After reading the article, “ Errors of the press,” and your private expla nation of the mysterious evaporation of article No. 11 of the Series, I send you duplicate copy, somewhat modi fied, and as I trust, with improved j cldrography. Would it not be well for you, Messrs. Editors, to give your correspondents a little manual, for j preparing an article for the press? 1 ! mean the mechanical execution. Some of us have read English Compo sition, and studied prosody, but have ! no practical experience in the great; art of printing and the requirements of its arbitrary rules. We think it vi olates a rule of economy by restrict ing us to one side of our paper, when both are ruled, and too far assunder as we think. Law however, is said to : be founded in reason and equity, and it might justly be added, in common sense. To continue the inquiry relative to names, I repeat what was said in No. i, that to account for the origin aud primitive meaning of Surnames, is an exceedingly difficult task, inasmuch as we have no due, that is satisfactory in all cases. Mr. Webster tells us, in his una- | bridged dictionary, that he has been j unable, in numerous words, to find their origin, or radix. The subject of names is far more ! difficult to (levelope than that of phi lology, for the reason that philology ■ has had for centuries, in every age, master intellects engaged in its devel opment, while patronimics have been ignored almost entirely. Coming down the stream of time, the next great race that appears in history, after the Romans, is the early Germans. Among them, like every other people, the same law prevails, | but one name to distinguish individu- i als. Hence, Arminius, Arioristus, and similar renowned heroes had no surname. Notwithstanding these ] Germans came in contact with the j Romans, who, as we have seen had j surnames, yet liberty and civilization amongst the Romans had so far de clined th at their successors never adop ted the nomenclature once so pecu liarly Roman. After the introduc tion of Christianity, Pagan names were discussed, and Scripture names adopted. We read, that when the Duke of Lithuania became a Christian he pursuaded Ills subjects to follow his example, and they were divided into companies, and in baptizing them, all of the first division of the men were called Peter, and all the women Catherine, and all of the sec ond company Pauls and Margarets— respectfully. As Christianity had elevated, refin fined and civilized the nations of Eu rope, we see its hallowed influence even in the names then given. Alfred, means “all peace;” Bede, the praying one; Cuthbert, bright in knowledge; Edmund, truth mouth; Edward, truth keeper; (faithful;) Richard, richly honored. The name William , we learn, was not a baptis mal name, but a name of honor be stowed upon the soldier who had kill ed a Roman Knight in war. The golden helmet of the Roman was j placed on his head, and he was called GUdhelm, or golden helmet. Then the French Guillaume, Latin Guliel mus, English William. As little as we may think of it, the character of an age is reflected by its names, when the signification of the names are fully understood. For instance, let us notice a few names omong the Puritans of the Six teenth Century. Antiqurians have exhumed the following list of a jury of Sussex, enipannelled A. D. 1560: Make-peace Heathen, Earth Adams, Kill-Bin Pimple, Stand-fast-on-high Stringer, Called Lower, Fight-the good-light of Faith White, Fly-de bate-Roberts, Safty-on High Snat, Search the Scriptures Moretoii, Much- Mercy Cryer. As before remarked, the introduc tion of Surnames indicates the period of transition from savage, barbarous, or half civilized, to civilization and enlightenment. As this transition of a people is never sudden, but gradual through a series of years, the necessi ty for patronimics would be felt gradu ally. So long as the people were kept in a state of serfdom, there was no ne cessity for second names. But as soon as they acquired the right of holding property, devising and inheriting it by will, and appearing in legal rela tions, it would be necessary to have some mode of distinguishing between several men of the same name. Among different nations, different ex pedients were adopted, a few of each will now be given. Atthelfrith, king of Northumber land named his children Ostaf, Ostate, Oswald, Qswin, Osbald, Ac. Os mean ing son. The descendants of Alfred the Great of England, were called by names all having the initial syllable ed, as Edward, Edwin, Edmund, Ed recl, Edwig, Edgyth, Ac. Again, the final syllable, ing was used, meaning j off-spring. Thus Edgar Edmunding, was Edgar the son of Edmund. In ! this way such names as Browning, | Whiting and Bearing are derived. Patronimics, or names derived from | parentage, would be the most natural. Thus the Hiiander prefix Mac, and | the sons of Donald and Arthur, be came Macdonal and Macarty: Whilst the Irish O or Oy meaning grandson, O’Hard and O’Neale, means the grandson of Hard and Neale. There names are so familiar and peculiar as to tell the stock or country from which their bearers are defended. “ By Mac and O, ye will always know, True Irishman, they say ; For if they lack both O and Mac, No Irishman are they.” Then the old Normans had Fitz (filus, a son); whilst the Russians the suffix witz, thus Peter Paulowitz, is Peter the son of Paul. The Poles use sky, and we have James Petron sky, is James, son of Peter. Then comes the Walsh, who employed up, (son), as David ap Howell, which be came David Howell. I close this No. by giving a story of \ an Englishman who, one night, while ! riding through the mountains, heard cries lor help proceeding from an adja cent ravine, and on calling out, 1 “who are you,” received the reply, Jenkins, ap Griffith, ap Robison, ap William, ap Rees, ap Eron. “ Lazy fellows that ye be; why in the name of common sense don’t ye help one another out, rolling in that hole, half dozen of ye?” After thus replying he rode away quite indignant, leaving the poor fellow with the multitudi nous name, to get out as the best they 1 could.
