MISCELI^ANKOIJSs
THE KEEPER OF THE PRISON-SHIP JER
SEY.
“ But he, the favorite, the flower.
Most cherished since his natal hour,
Ilia mother’s image in his face,
The infant love ol all his race,
His martyred father’s dearest thought,
My latest care, for whom 1 sought
To hoard my life, that this might he
Less wretched now an 1 one day Ircc;
He, too, who yet was held untired
A spirit natural or inspired—
He too, was struck, and day by day
\\ us withered on the stalk, away.”
Amongst the number ot perishing creatures
"immured in that vilest of prisons, the old ship
Jersey, were two persons whose appearance N
manners excited a feeling of deep interest in the
minds of all around them —both as it respected
their present situation and the late which await
ed them. Thcv were brothers, bearing thw name
of ~ 1 shall call it Vernor. The one, a
man of about twenty-seven years, strong and
vigorous in his frame, and possessing a mind
buoyant with energy and enthusiasm. Ihe
other was still a youth of, at most, not more than
nineteen, although tall and well formed, liis
face was fair and beautiful, while the rising ol
his features and the down upon his chin pro
claimed his approach to manhood. I iis disposi
tion was full of gaiety and sweetness, and, like
the lark, did carol for several mornings alter his
imprisonment, protesting that the enemy should
not rejoice in a conquest over his spirits. \ et,
afterwards, when reclining upon the shoulder ot
his brother —with such fondness would he talk ol
their kind mother —then hastily cash the tear
from the corner ol In’s eye-lid, and smiling chide
the elder for his melancholy, who would reply
with a look full anxiety, “Dear Frank, did tne
the weight of misfortune fall on me alone, 1 could
invar it with heroism —but you are not fitted for
this abode —so tenderly reared, so little accus
tomed to privations. As for me, 1 have long
heeft inured to fatigues and hardships. So early
did I bid adieu to my home, that 1 left you yet a
child, smiling in the lap of an indulgent mother.
()h, would to heaven that you were still the same!
Scarcely has that mother recovered from the
shock occasioned by the death ofour poor father,
when, alas, she is doomed to feel the pain of a
second trial, which in its effects may prove but
little less torturing.’'
“ The delights of home, and the tenderness of
my mother are ever present to my memory,”
replied Frank, with feeling; “ they serve to
lighten up this region of misery and gloom —to
give a cordial warmth to the cold and nauseous
vapours around us; they sweeten mycupol bit
terness—feed the craving of my appetite, and
change the dying groans of my companions in
captivity into scarcely audible murmurs, while
this conveys me to the arms of the guardian ot
inv infancy, and the sharer and the soother of
niv early cares —I revel in the luxuries of home
—fold my brother to my heart, and welcome him
to liberty and light! The social board is spiead
and laden for our comfort, and a mother's smile
invites us to partake —when 1 awake to hunger
and the depths of a dungeon !”
A-sign from the oldest was the only reply to
his lively description o: fantasies —an 1 after
closing their arms about eaca oilier, they sunk
into silence.
Dry after day the morning broke and the eve
ning-shade closed upon their sufferings ! Lven
mercy was withheld, from tiie wretched pris
oners in their latest extremities; and each sun
saw 1 leaps of human corpses, blackened by pes
tilence and famine, borne «p to the deck of the
Jersey, to he interred in one common shallow
scooped grave upon the heights ot Brooklyn—
their bones to whiten there beneath a score of
winter snows, unnoticed, unhonored!
Still each day the younger of the \ enters
would sing his song, and try to deck his counte
nance with citoemi'ness—but in vain ! His at
tempts became less and loss effectual; and the
smile that was wont to irradiate his features, like
an expiring light, east only an uncertain gleam:
a straia of melancholy mingled with his song till
it at last ceased.
“ The poor bird,” observed he, one morning,
upon finding that his voice had failed him. •* al
though confined to his cage, may sing it well
fed and cared for; but the imprisoned starvel
ing, however sweet his note, can find but little
relish for song.”
Sad indeed were the inroads that cruelty and
oppression had made upon the spirits of the
youth, while a death like paleness had taken the
place of the rosy bUom which he had brought
to the prison.
He, too, was fully sensible of the change, and
with a forced smile would sav to his brother, as
he folded his coat about his wasted form.
“ If hunger feeds so fast, George, I fear there
will be lell but a scanty meal for worms to re
vel on.”
“Alas, my dear Frank,” replied Vernor,
“speak not of your death—the thought drives
me to madness. Mother’s life hangs upon yours. |
She deanands of you to sustain yourself under;
the evil star that reigns over us—bear up ycj
awhile, my dear boy, with cheerfulness, and we
may ere long possess the power and opportuni
ty of punishing our oppressors.”
But poor Frank Vernor—the load of onpres
sion was even then too tightly strained upon
him; a painful tear swelled in his eye, and lie
mentally cursed the fate inflicted upon him by
the tyrant foe, as he yielded his soul to hope
lessness and despair. A few days after, his
eyes became languid, and the hectic flush upon
his check spoke the feverish pulse which his
anxious brother observed with the deepest con
cera • and while he endeavored to support his
wasting form and drooping spirits by tender and
consoling words, he perceived that little hope re
mained for the life of the youth unless he were
immediately liberated from confinement, and his
disease treated with skill and attention.
Two days more elapsed of severe trial, when
fatal delirium seized his brain, and the sooth
ing of his brother could only restrain him from
violence. At length his frenzy subsided, and
langour and weakness ensued—cold chills, at
tended with sensations of intense pain, and the
clammy dews of death, were upon his forehead.
The night, with all its horrors, had closed a
round the wretched victims—had shrouded their
prison in darkness, and all was silent, except
now and then the groans of a dying man—or a
half suppressed murmur of suffering—or the
sound of a solitary footstep in the apartment.
Young Vernor had clasped his brother in his
arms, and had bared his own warm bosom to
pillow the sufferer’s head. Thus a few mo
ments’slumber beguiled that portion of his last
sad hour—and when awoke he was quite ration
al, and perfectly sensible of his approaching
dissolution.
“ I am going, George,” he said: “tell our
dear” —
Mother, he would have added, but the over
powering word swelled at his heart, and died
away upon his quivering lips.
“1 know, my dear Francis, all that you
would have me say,” cried the agonized bro
ther, “ but do not despair of your life —for, alas,
we must not part so, my brother ! Oh, should
you die, what words of consolation could I con
vey to your poor mother—v,' ; t tidings that
would not kill her?”
“ Say that I loved her -’.hut I revered her
with my latest recollection—and that we will as
suredly meet in heaven, where virtue finds a :
rich reward, and where the wretched prisoner is
free ! —Say, too, that even amid the pains and
dread of death, 1 find a consolation in the
thought that it is for my country I perish* We
cannot all hope to Jive to enjoy the blessings that
liberty will give—but we leave them as a sacred
inheritance to the rising generation—may they
guard with care that which we shall so dearly
have purchased ! And now, brother, a draught
of cold water that ! may die quietly.”
Here he raised his exhausted head, and held
forth his hand ns if to receive it.
“ You shall have it,” replied Vernor, as he
arose, and laying his brother gently along the
floor, ho quickly ascended to the entrance of the
prison to ask water of the keeper. It was
some time before he received any reply to his
repeated knocks and calls. At length the keep
er appeared, and harshly enquired the cause of
the disturbance at so improper an hour.
“ My brother is dying,” answered Vernor; “in
the name of heaven let me have some water that
he may slake his thirst.”
“ He must wait till morning—it is not our
custom to open the prisons after night fall—so
go your ways, and let us hear no more noise,”
was the surly reply.
“ But, God of mercy ! you surely will not
refuse me water! lie will die before the morn
ing !”
•‘Then he will not need it long,” answered
the keeper, coldly, as he turned away—and
muttering that he would not break through his
rules to save a hundred of their lives, lie left
the agonized Vernor to grope his way back as
he could.
As ho turned to descend, his attention was
arrested by sounds of riotous mirth issuing from
a distant part of the shin, which seemed to mock
his sufferings and convey a double stab to his
grievously wounded heart.
When he had reached the spot where his
brother lay, and had raised him in his arms,
he perceived that the youth’s reason was again
bewildered.
“ Never mind the water, George,” he said,
“ the purest streams are before me ; I shall soon
overtake them and he endeavoured to moisten
his parched lips with his tongue, which Vernor
perceiving by the sound, burst into tears.
“ Is this my mother ?” said the dying lad.
“ Are these her tears that mingle with the cold
dews on my forehead ? Is that her warm breath
that I feel upon my check ? Oh, give me your
hand mother !” and snatching that of his bro
ther he pressed it fondly to his lips. “ Go—
<jct a light that 1 may behold her,” he added,
and attempted to rise. “If you love me, George,
get me a light,” he repeated, “ that I may see
vour face before I die.”
“ The half-distracted ernor could no longer
resist his entreaties, and therefore, laying him
down he made a second attempt to awaken a
sense of feeling in the breast of the obdurate
keeper, who demanded, in a terrible oath, who
it was that dared to disturb bis repose.
“ Mv good fellow,” said Vernor, in a voice
of entreaty, “ 1 have come in search of a light.
My brother is dying—and it is a dreary thing
to" be near so dear an object and to.be unable
to look upon his features. lie, too, asks it of
you as a precious gift.
“ Down—down, you foul rebel! I tell you
it cannot he done.”
“What—not at the request of a dying man ?”
•• No. Let him die—a rebel deserves no bet
ter fate. Awav, I say, go hack to your berth,
and give mo no more trouble.”
“ A single inch of candle only, I pray you
for heaven's sake," cried Vernor, subdued by
affliction.
“ I tell you again that you cannot have a
I litrlu. Begone!” and the cruel keeper hasten
ed from the iron-grated partition that separated
him from his wretched prisoner.
“ Heaven grant me patience !” cried \ ernor,
as he descended the steps of the prison, his brain j
burning with revenge, and his heart surcharged j
with the most painful feelings. j
He returned once more to his brother, and ,
wiwPMMywg-UMi Hill l l I I III! 1111
seating himself beside him, placed the cold am
dying head upon his aching breast, and by font
caresses and words of the sweetest affecticr
sought to soothe away the pangs of disappoint
ment, and to soften the anguish of the last sad
J o
moments of the youth, which were now fast
approaching. Alter a few struggles, a few a
gonizing sighs, he breathed the name of his mo
ther, and expired.
“ Alas ! and is it over ? Be gracious, holy
heaven, and receive to thyself that pure essence
which but now breathed in this cold form—ani
mated the kindest of hearts! Farewell, sweet
flower ! Thou hast been rudely torn asunder
—a fell blight has destroyed thee in the bud ?
No friend will di;ck thy bier —no prayer will
hallow thy grave !”
Vernor laid the body down in an agony of
grief, and breathing an oath of vengeance, fell
upon the neck of bis ill starred brother. * *
The second day after the battle of York-
Town, (that memorable day which put a period
’o our long protracted war) late in the after
noon, a young volunteer of the American corps,
was moving along the ravine in front of the
town, when his attention was attracted by the
groans, as if it were, of a dying creature. On
searching around he perceived a soldier, wound
ed and expiring, laying in a hole, or rather a
chasm in the ground which had been broken
up. The young man raised the head of the
poor fellow, and placed it in an easier and more
natural position, and so that he could distin
guished the features of the face, which was dis
torted and livid from suffering and exposure.
The volunteer gazed for a moment upon its
lineaments, and then recoiled hack with horror.
—A bitter pang shot through his heart? He
could not be mistafxen —it was the keeper of
the prison ship Jersey !
“Ah, God!” ho cried, as he threw himself
upon his knees on the ea rth, “ avert my hatred,
and lot me now return good for evil! Already
have I revenged thy death, my brother! fully
avenged it! Yea, more than a score of the ene
my have those hands slain to thy manes on the
battle field! Then pass in peace, beloved
shade !”
He ar®se, and once more approached the
wrev! , whose groans had become dreadfully
anomie. It would seem that he had not only
heard and understood, hut also felt the impres
sive language pronounced by the agitated Ver
: nor. for amid the agonies of death, his eyes
rolled as if in search of' the being he had
injured.
“ What would you have me do for you, mise
rable man ?” cried Vernor.
“ Pardon my offence, and give me a drink
that 1 may not die a thousand deaths. Two
whole days have I lain in this pit sorely wound
ed, and in the posture you found me, and no
creature was there to bring me aid or com
fort. Many have passed by, but none per
ceived or heard me—and now alas it is too
late.”
Vernor, moved to pity by this appeal, attempt
ed to raise him from the chasm, but found it
impossible; he was to closely wedged in, and
his wounds were in a state of putrefaction, while
the -sufferings of his body could he exceeded
only by his overladen conscience, which
feared to meet the death it too justly me
rited.
ernor hastened to a spring, and taking wa
ter in a gourd, bore it back to the unhappy
man that he might drink ere he died. When
it met his lips, his eyes glared wildly upon
\ ernor, and pushing the water from him he
cried,
“Alas, I cannot swallow it—God’s punish
ment is just!” and m writhing and torture he
soon after expired.
