Show " 7 ' Hi; SALT JjAKK TIA1E8, FlUlJAy, MA 30, L6W. ' " I M. TOBIAS 4 SON, I ALFEED TTTrrTZT Sealon, and then I saw in his altered features my old friend. "How is it with you now, my dear fellow? . J ""! "It is all well. I married Helen Mor-!e- y a week ago, and with such a woman as rny companion I defy fate." , were, and had been front the first, sim-ply and completely in love with one an--' other. Before they were aware of it, and before they could understand how it was brought about, they were engaged. Dar-rell had always thought that he would not, under any circumstances, marry an heiress; and here he was betrothed to one. He was beginning to see, as so many young men hare seen, that it is impru-dent to form opinions without adequate experience. "I Ail 80 OLAD YOU ARB 001X0." The enamored couple met daily, and their conversation much resembled that of which a specimen has been given. Helen was patriotic to the core. The course of the south, from the election of T,invln to the rpvol'itiouarv mensurespf varonna, hud Area her blood anil made her wish that she bad been a man. Her father, busy with mercantile affairs, never suspected that Helen cared any more for Darrell than for any one of a don young men in her social circle. He coud hardly have been persuaded that she would dream of marrying a physician vho had yet his way to make in the world. The idea would have seemed so absurd to him that he would have im-agined it equally absurd to her. The affianced couple decided not to divulge their secret even to him. When the war was over they would proclaim it. "And perhaps," began Darrell, but tears shone in Helen's eyes, and she cut short his entence in a charmingly feminine way. afterward proved themselves valiant and earned the uameof heroes. Bull Run was a great and impressive lesson to Darrell as well as to the whole north.-Th- e mortifying repulse and disgraceful panic was of immeasurable benefit to the federals in the end. Darrell was deeply chagrined that he had not been wounded, but he was without a scratch, beyond the bruises infiioted by the fugitive masses in their road race for Washington. He soon reflected that there was still time for wounds; but he had no idea of the slaughter of the next four years, which turned th ration into a honae of mourning. Bull Run had made a soldier of him; had increased his liorror of aught ap-proaching cowardice; hod taught him the priceless lesson of the need of cool-ness tinder any and all circumstances. Bull Run was to him, as indeed it was to every free state, a kind of military edu-cation, and was duly profited by. As may be supposed, Helen and Dar-rell corresponded, and their letters were very much, no doubt, like those the ma-jority of young men and women write who are in love with one another. The correspondence may have been more ro-mantic, for their environment was more rouiantio and their emotion quickened with uncertainty and peril. She was, for the first few months, in constant fear that every newspaper she took up would inform her of his death. But, as the time lengthened, and as he passed through battle after battle unharmed, her terrors diminished, though her anxi-eties continued. She became, as men become who are habitually exposed to danger, a kind of fatalist, without any process of reason-ing. She wrote, soon after the battle of Bull Run, that Clarence Williams had again proposed to her, encouraged, as she believed, by her father to renew his suit. His second rejection had apparently as-tonished him more than the first, and had1 so visibly excited his anger that she was forced to the conclusion that he wanted, unaccountable as such motive seems, to marry her from something like malice. The next month he sailed for Europe, to be absent indefinitely, and her father upbraided her for what be pro-nounced her extreme folly in once more declining a rich, handsome, well con-nected fallow, whom most of the girls in her set would be overjoyed to get Months and seasons passed, very, very lowly, for the horrors of the civil war seemed to stretch out time immeasurably. Darrell had taken active part in most of the engagements in Virginia, serving under McClellan, Burnside, Hooker, Meade, and finally Grant. He had gone unscathed through the' bloody battle of the Wilderness, and in the summer of 1304 was sent with bit regiment, which he now commanded as colonel, to be-siege Petersburg. He had been greatly opposed to asking for leave of absence, but bad several times, during lulls of active hostility, seen, with increased love, his betrothed, who had gone on to Wash-ington under chaperonage of a maiden aunt. Helen had been anxious to serve as a voluntary nurse in the hospitals of that capital, but her father, who was not very well, had persuaded her that he needed her care at home. The lovers had often been tempted to marry clan-destinely, but they had resisted the temptation, even when she had, in de-spairing mood, a horrible presentiment that he would die, in the field. . "Remember, my darling," he would say, in mock heroio tone, "that it is written in the stars that our matrimo-nial war shall begin after the nation's peace." 'T ., ON THE POINT OF THRUSTINO A BAYONET INTO HIM. Darrell Senton enlisted in s New' York Infantry regiment. He had been urged to offer his services as surgeon, but he declined, saying that in such a cause he preferred to give wounds rather than to heal them. Before going to Washington ho was elected second lieutenant, and had his earliest military experience at Bull Run. He has told me that when first under fire, in the skirmish at Blackburn's Fork, he was excited and nervous, and would have run away but for his pride and the consciousness that if he should begin running there would be no place to stop. Every time a bullet whistled near him he thought he must be struck; again and , again death seemed to be in-- . evitable. After fifteen or twenty minutes he perceived the danger to be much more apparent than real, and he gradually began to grow calm. Frightened, as he confessed himself to have been, he declared that he was cool--. ness itself compared with hundreds that be saw about him. This encouraged and emboldened him. When he learned, an hour after, that not more than one hun-dred and twenty men had been lost on both sides during the (skirmish he was amazed. He would hare sworn at the time that the casualties must have reached three thousand at least. He was afterward in the advance movement on the Confederate center. The Unionists were confident of victory, and he was in high spirits, when suddenly the whole right wing of the Federal army gave way before an unexpected assault . from the enemy, and fled in the wildest confusion. He and all the officers who retained any reason tried in vain to rally their men. It was a perfect panic, and the flying multitude, incapable of con-trol, carried everybody and everything , along with it. Ha likened it to an ava-lanche or a tidal wave. The only way to avoid being crushed to death was to yield to the mighty pressure. He. with thousands of others, was borne along several miles, and ultimately found him-self at CenterviUe. .The scene at the narrow wooden bridge over a brook on the CenterviUe turnpike was extraordinary and bewildering. A throng of civilians had come from Wash-ington on horseback and in carriages to witness what they had been told was a glorious victory. Bitter was their disap-pointment and great their alarm when they saw, at that point, hurrying, fright-ened masses of soldiers, army wagons, artillery inextricably Involved and hope-lessly confused. The beat was excessive, the dust choking, the panio complete. Men were shouting, swearing, struggling like mad, horses plunging, whinneying, evidently scared as much as their mas-ters. A cannon shot struck a caisson on th bridge, shattered it and obstructed the way. Then the dismay, disorder and uproar increased to a terrific point. Men surged over the broken caisson; others leuoed from the bridge; many rushed through the stream; artillery horses were cut from the traces and ridden by their frantio drivers through the trembling, creaming crowd. The wonder was that hundreds were not killed iu the chaotio jam. The fugitives scrambled through and over every obstacle, and pushed their tumultuous course to ward some imagined place of safety as the shadows of even-ing fell. The defeat was evidently irreparable. It was also evident that the enemy was in. no condition to pursue bis enormous advantage, which was a great consola-tion. Darrell's idea of war was rudely changed. It seemed to him that many of the Union troops were consummate cowards, and he did not spare his bitter denunciations. He learned in subsequent battles that what we call courage is largely dependent on v accustomedneas. Men. who bad run like sheep from indef-igit- a peril on Uiat memorable July day BE TOLD ME H18 NAME WAS DARRELL SBA.TON. In the winter of 1864-- 5 he was ordered, with his regiment and a considerable Union force, to make another attempt to get possession of a railway to the south of Petersburg. They started at dawn, and had a sharp engagement with a larger Confederate force, encountering an admirably managed battery, which threw his regiment into confusion. A number of the men had been killed and several of the. officers wounded. While attempting to rally his command a shell exploded over his head, a fragment strik-ing and killing his horse, and another shattering his left leg. He fell under the animal, and a sudden charge of the enemy, in overwhelming force, drove back his regiment. A southern soldier was on the point of thrusting a bayonet into him as he lay there stunned, when a captain of the command knocked the reJiow down with the flat of his sword. The Unionists soon retreated, and Dar-rell on recovering his senses found him-self a prisoner and suffering intensely. After a while he was removed to a tem-porary hospital, where the Confederate captain visited him and did what he could for his comfort. The two men, about the same age, appeared to have an affin-ity for one another, and soon became, as they called it, very friendly enemies. The succeeding weeks were full of events; the cause of the south was rapidly disin-tegrating. As soon as possible Darrell wrote to Helen what had occurred, but the letter was lost. Everything in the south was chaotic. Ha was sent to Mo-bile, where his wound refused to heal, and where fever was consuming his life. He was not aware when Richmond fell, be-ing semi-delirio- at the time. Mean-while he had been reported killed and his body missing. The New York news-papers contained touching obituaries of him, and poor Helen Morley, wishing tiiat she had died with him, mourned without hope. Her father had failed in business, and the shock of his failure made him an almost hopeless paralytic As the daughter carefully attended to bis wants in a smaller and l.i4for home, she frequently whispered to her despair-ing heart, "My presentiment was the projected shadow of destiny." Two months after the surrender of the last of the southern forces our foes no longer, but our common countrymen I met a lame, pal man in Broudwar, who accosted roe warmly. I recognized him not. He told me bis uan) was Darrell s i" - P ! r . ' ' i :, H BUSINESS '. DIRECTORY. ' ADVERTISERS OF f'RSTCLASS CITY.
