A TALE OF THE LATE WAR.
BY ALICE ARNOLD.
CHAPTER VI.
Face to face.
Tbe morning sun, struggling thro’
iron bars, entered a small cell in one
of those spacious prisons which were
appropriated to the confinement of
Confederate captives in the old Cap
ital. It would be impossible to im
agine any one more desolate than
the inmate of this cell. She had
been three weeks immured there;
and in all that time had not once
availed herself of the privilege of
taking exercise in the prisoners’
‘play-ground’; all her strolls being
confined to her own narrow apart
ment. She seemed to shrink from
the sight of her kind; ale barely
enough to support life; and, any
time of the day, might have been
seen, as she now was, with her open
bible upon her knee, and her mourn
ful eyes fixed upon the page.
The sentry’s monotonous tread
outside her door ceased for an in
stant, and there was a sound of sev
several voices.
“I have really a curiosity to see
this lady-spy,” said one. “You shall
be gratified, then, Captain,” replied
another; and without farther inti
mation, the door of her cell was
opened and two men entered. One
was the prison superintendent, and
the other—it needed not a second
glance, or the governor’s formal in
troduction of “Captain de Caroll,”
to convince her was the author of
her bitterest woes. At the sight of
him, all her torpid vitality seemed
to revive; the palid cheek grew
crimson, and the hollow eyes flashed.
Rising to her feet, and fixing her
gaze full upon him; in a low, dis
tinct voice, she said, “Can it be pos
sible that you are so entirely devoid
of all human feeling, as to come
here ? And do you not fear that the
very walls which euclose your out
raged wife—for such I am, in the
sight of God and by the laws of
mau, —may fall and crush you ?”
“Upon my word, Madam,” said the
visitor, with well-feigned surprise,
“You do me too much honor. Until
this morning, I never had the pleas
ure of seeing you.” Thin turning
to ihe Governor, who was sharply
regarding him, “This poor la y is
undoubtedly mad, Mr. W.,”hesaid,
and I think lhat I had best not re
man; here any longer.”
The prisoner essayed to speak
again, but was prevented by some
thing hot and full which rose in her
throat, and placing her handkerchief
to her lips, it was presently satura
ted with blood.
She would have fallen to the floor,
had not Mr. W. raised her in his
arms, and placing her upon the bed
summoned a female attendant, in
whose charge he lelt her, while he
and his companion quilted the room.
In a few minutes, the prison physi
cian came in, examined the case, in
a business-like sort of way, and ad
ministered an anodyne, which, hap
pily for her, took immediate effect;
and she fell into a quiet sleep.
It was late in the evening when
she awoke, and heard voices in tbe
adjoining room. They were raised,
evidently in warm discussion, and
should distinguish the words.
“It is madness, your holding out
so persistently,” said one.“ Listen
to my entreaties, and take the oath;
you will die if you remain here much
longer.”
“■Mery possibly,” returned a low,
weary voice, which it affected Maude
strangely to bear; “bet L have no
alternative.” *
“Yes, you have —the dash of a
pen-just your signature, and you
are free—free to enjoy yourself, to
go to Europe, or where you please ;
lor you still have your share of our
Canada property.”
“1 would choose death rather than
perjury,” said the weary tones.
“Perjury, bah! Your Confedera
cy is a wrecked vessel, I tell you.
Lee is on his last legs now, and eve
rything must soon be over with his
army; then you will be paroled,
but in the mean time, here you ate.
Wasting a way lo nothing. You haven’t
lelt this room for a whole month,
they tell me, and as long as you re
fuse to take the oath, 1 am power
less to aid you. 1 must set out to
morrow to rejoin my command, but
I hale the thought of leaving you,
Henry.”
“You have done worse things to
me than that,” said the other.
“Have it as you will, but I feel a
natural solicitude concerning your
health. Do you ever mean to take
exercise again ?”
“I shall try and get into the ‘play
ground’ to-morrow.”
“That is right. And now, good
bye ; my time is up. I hope, when
we meet again, to find you a wiser
man.”
“And I trust to find you a bette ,
Good-bye.”
The key grated in the door, and
there was a sound of footsteps re
treating down the passage. But
from that moment, Maude was pos
sessed with an intense desire to dis
cover who her next door neighbor
was.
The next day, on account of her
health, they suffered her door to re
main open until evening, in order
that she might have the benefit of
what air was stirring in the passage;
and when the hour came for the
prisoners to take exercise, she placed
her chair where she could command
a view of all who passed, and anx
iously listened until she heard the
door ot the next cell grate on its
hinges, and footsteps approaching
her own. Eagerly she bent her head
forward and closely scanned all the
passers-by. Several Confederate of
ficers passed together; but the be
holder started convulsively, and her
whole frame was thrilled as by an
electric shock, when her eyes fell
upon one of them, who moved wnh
a feeble, tottering gait. Good God!
W hat jugglery was this ? Had she,
indeed, gone mad, or was she dream
ing? Had she not seen him but
twenty-four hours since in Federal
uniform ? Her brain reeled, and she
was compelled to throw herself upon
the bed ; but now her mind was en
tirely occupied with the one thought
of establishing communication be
tween hers and ihe adjoining cell.
For several days site was 100 ill
lo leave her bed ; but as soon as she
was able to crawl, she instituted a
diligent search along the wall of
separation for some aperture to ad
mit the passage of a note.
Finding none, she resolved to bore,
making use ot a knife which had
been left, by accident upon her ta
ble : and the next afternoon found
her cautiously inserting hurriedly
into the hole, a smell slip of paper,
upon which she bad written,
“For the love of Heaven, w ho are
you?”
The neighboring prisoner, warned
no donbt, the scraping sound,
was evidently on the look-out; for
the missive instantly disappeared,
and in a few minutes, the following
answer was returned, through the
same media,
“My name is Hanii Louis de Ca
roll. I was late an officer in John
son’s army, and was taken prisoner
six months back ; was sent, at first,
to Fort Delaware, but two months
since was removed to this place.
Who are you?”
Trembling alt over, she hastily
wrote, in reply,
“I am Maude de Caroll, nee Ar
lington.” But scarcely had he re
ceived this second oemmiuiication.
when there arosew great commotion
and hubbub in the lower part of the
building. Both started away from
their newly established; post office;
and presently fell upon their ears,
uttered in loud, ringing tones, these
words: “Leehas surrendered, the
Aar is over.” In the next hour it
was authenticated, and all the pris
oners knew that General Lee, with
the whole Southern army, bad sui
rendered to Grant, at Appomattox
Court House. The announcement
was received by some with groans
and tears, but by others with sighs
of relief; for now, they were lold,
they should be paroled and sent to
to their homes.
• • * * *
It had grown quite dark, and poor
Maude was standing in the centre of
her room, with her hands pressed
upon her brow, trying to coiled her
bewildered ideas, when she was
aroused by the sound of the door
key turning in the lock. A light
glimmered into the apartment; and
in the next instant, she was clasped
in the arms of her long lost husband.
“Beloved, beloved,” he murmur
ed, pressing her again and again lo
his lull heart, “God has answered
my prayers at last, and restored you
lo me. But oh, how changed, my
soul, from the fresh, blooming girl I
took leave of at F.lsinore ! I dare not
ask through what suffering my bird
of beauty has passed. She must
try and forget it now.”
She lay with her head upon his
breast, and wept; it was the first
lime in years, and the tears were a
blissful relief. “Tell me all about
yourself,” she murmured, “and who
and what is that dreadful double, in
Federal blue, that I have twice been
tortured by the sight of
“You must have seen my brother
Louis, my poor darling!” And his
tone of tender compassion seemed to
comprehend all the anguish lhat she
had endured. Then holding her
closer to his heart, with his face
pressed against hers lo assure her
that he wa3 no phantom, hut a liv
ing, loving reality, she heard the
following talfe:
Louis Henri de Caroll, and Henri
de Caroll were twin brothers, the
sons of a wealthy Louisiana planter;
and the resemblance between them
was more perfect than in most simi
lar cases—their gestures, voices and
carriage being so exactly alike as to
frequently puzzle even their parents.
Both were educated at West Point;
and destined for the military ser
vice; but, upon the outbreak ol po
litical difficulties, look different sides.
Henri, as we have seen, went to
Washington lo resign his commis
sions lie was there met by his bmlh
er, who used every inducement to
turn him from his puipose ; bui find
itig him inflexible, reported to a per
sonage, with whom he knew it would
have its weight, what his brother
had unguardedly disclosed to him,
that Henri was t in possession ol
some facts which Grueinl Scott did
not desire should get out. Th Gov
ernment was ihen u.-ing stringent'
measures ; and Henr; was ariesied
and thrown into prison, where he
remained fir nearly a year,.when,
managing to effect Ins escape, he
joined the army of the West.
As soon as he could obtain a fur
lough, he repaired to Virginia in
search of Ins bride, but vain were
his efforts. At the risk of his life,
and under cover of the night, he
went to her old home, and what was
his grief to find the house burned to
the ground and the place in posses
sion of the Federals. He was told
by the negroes, who believed what
they asserted, lhat she, with her
brother, had perished in the flames;
his fruitless search seemed to con
firm the agonizing intelligence; and
he returned to his command, a reck
less, desperate man. He was soon
after severely wounded and laid up
in hospital; the rest of his history
was a series of battles and seiges,
which he dwelt lightly upon, and he
was promoted lo the rank of Major,
just previous to his capture.
After his removal to Washington,
be was visited by his brother, who
Bgain urged him to turn traitor to
bis cause. Louis was dissipated
and unprincipled, but he yet retain
ed some affection for his twih broth
er, and really believed that he acted
a friendly part in trying to induce
him. to perjure himself., He had
taken Henri’s horge, Iscara, into the
service with him, had treated him
No. 8.
tenderly for his master’s sake, and
seemed sincerely distressed at his
loss. The last interview between
the brothers was that which Maude
had overheard. Henri's feelings on
discovering Maude’s proximity to
himself, bars description; and as soon
as possible he obtained the Gover
nor’s permission to come into her cell,
explaining their mutual relations as
briefly as possible to Mr. W. Then
(lending his ear close to her' lips he
hearkened 10 her heart-rending tale;
which she had scarce concluded,
when the turnkey came in to sepa
rate them. The next morning, Hen
ri was allowed to repeat his vist, and
two days later, they were discharg
ed from prison. On the day of their
release, Henri approached his wife
with a newspaper in his band, and
placing his finger on the list of the
killed in a skirmish (one ol the last
of the war) near Farmville, Virginia,
she read the name of Louis Henri
de Caroll.
*****
Louis de Caroll’s death placed
his brother in possession of a hand*,
some property in Canada, beyond
the reach ol confiscation; and after
spending a short time in New York,
Henri and his wife set sail for Eu
rope to recruit their shattered health
and nerves amid the cool shades ol
“Merrie England.”
FINIS.
THE NEST THINS TO A SWAN.
Charles Lamb thus describes
his call upon George Dawe, soon
after his election to a seat in the
Royal Academy, and during the visit
of the Allied Soveregns to England:
“ I called upon D. to congratulate
him upon a crisis so doubly eventful.
His pleasant housekeeper seemed
embarrassed, owned that her mas
ter was alone. But could he be
spoken with? With some impor
tunity I prevailed upon her to usher
me up into his panning room. It
was in Newmen Street. At his easel
stood D., with an immense spread
of canvas before him, and by his side
a live goose. I inquired into this ex
traordinary combination. Under the
rose he informed me that he had
undertaken to paint a transparency
for Vauxhall, against an expected
visit of the Allied Sovereigns to that
place. 1 smiled at an engagement
so derogatory to his new-bor, honors;
but a contempt of small gains was
never one of D.’s toibles. My eyes
beheld crude founs of warriors*
kings, rising under his brush upon
this interminable stretch ol clothi
The Wolga,ihe Don, and the N> pier
were there, or their representative
River Gods; and Father Thames
clubbed urns with the Vistula—
Glory with her dazzling Eagle was
not absent, nor .Fame, nor Victory.
The slnde of Rubens miolu have
evoked the mighty allegories. But
what was the goose? He vx.isevi
dently silting fir a something.
“D. at la-i informed me, that hav
ing fixed upon a groffpof rivers, he*
could not introduce the Royal
Thames' without his swans', that he
had inquired the price of a live swan*
and it being more than be was pre
pared to give tor it. h, had bargain
ed with the poulterer for lb next
thing to it; adding significantly, th l
it would do to mast, after ii had'
served its turn to punt swain, by.”
Another Denizen of Pompeii.
Another skeleton has been added
to the museum of Pompeii, and
there are now, says a correspondent
of the London Athenmum, the re
mains of six of the unhappy victims
of the eruption which overwhelmed
that city. The ingenious method
adopted by Fioreili is too well known
to render any description of it neces
sary —every guide book repeats it,
and on the first experiment being
made, I sent you a full and detailed
report. The bed of ashes in which
this, the sixth skeleton, was found,
or rather which preserved the im
press of it, though mixed with lapil-o
li, gives the forth of the deceased' 1
with att exactitude which far sur
passes that observed ih any other
instance. The head has succeeded
to perfection, attd the legs and feet,,
are so well finished as to leave noth
ing to desire. Apparently, the form
is that of a man ol the Jowex class*-
in the flower of yoOth. In his flight'
he fell backward, and his agony is
strongly expressed in the
of his face, and* in the convulsive
clasp of the left hand.
True Poutkpkss —Men of fine
feelings fascinate thnoagh a certain
affectionate watchfulness of the little,
wants of others, through a divining
of their most softly whispered wish
es, and a continual sacrifice of their
own; thorough politeness, whdss
silken bands twine more jjetody and
closely roond our oa the
rough cords of one great benefit.
