Keep Troubles to Yourself. Speak not your troubles over load, Lest the world should hear; Bow not your bead before the crowd, In publio shed no tear. Strangers from a heartless sect, To? apt to worship pelf; So, if yon wish to gain respect, . Keep troubles to yourself. Thc ??ou .fill uater urtu defeat. Though hope be almost dead; But, smiling, all disasters meet, With proud defiant head; Even with a ready Jest, In darkest timo of woe, Striving, struggling for the beBt, Midst tears that none shall know. The fool who tails of hie distress, Hurries on disaster. And tempts the sordid ono to press His owing claima tho faster; Till down beneath he slowly goes, Meaning still the sadder, Beset by coward, heartless blows, To fell him from the ladder. Be ever cheerful to tho crowd, And bido no croakers near you: Be courteous, yet oold and proud, And fools will learn to fear you; Thus, manfully, over lay Yoi r doubting on tho sholf, And ever from the light of day, Keep troubles to yourself. The Color Bearer. [The hero of this touching little story was engaged, -when he entered the Confederate service, to a beauti? ful girl (Miss Ida Stanhope, wo will call her,) of the city of R---. His adventures, and their glorious yet melancholy conclusion, are thus ad? mirably told, says Southern Opinion:] * * * Fourteen months have elapsed. The -th regiment, to which companies from R-were attached, has been guarding an im? portant post, but has not as yet been into active service. The time has arrived, however, when it mnst make its mark. Tho command is ordered to the glorious old army of Northern Virginia. Cedar Mountain becomes the scene of their maiden effort-their first strike in defence of home and dear ones. The regiment is ordered for? ward, and into the woods in line of battle they advance. The enemy open upon them, and man after man falls; but yet the line does not wav.er. The order to fall back is given by some one; the men ou the right and left move back slowly. Charlie Worthington, who bears the colors, is heard calling to the men to stand to their flag; but soon the word to fall back again is heard-and he, pre? suming it must emanate from au? thority, and seeing the others falling around him, retreats a short distance, -when up rushes the Colonel, and takes from his grasp the colors which lie would give his life to defend. Ng explanation will satisfy the exasp'e* rated officer, but, snatching from the bearer the flag, he passes it to an? other, and tears from tho arms of Charlie his chevrons. Bewildered, dismayed, humiliated, stands the young soldier. Amid the hail of bullets, the favorite of the regiment is disgraced; and for what? He takes a musket, but knows not what ho does. Tho long day at last comes to an ond, and another victory is added to the long list already gained by tho Confederates. On the next day the troops are en? camped, telling to each other their exploits and hair-breadth escapes; but one among them seems to see nothing, hear nothing. Those who, a few days ogo, delighted to honor him, now pass him unnoticed, or with a word cold enough to freeze the warm blood of his young heart. Owing to the humiliation and dis? grace, and the coldness of former friends, the sensitive heart of Charlie is rent to its core. Ero another morning comos, he is raving with a delirious fever. Sent to Chimborazo, in Richmond, he lingered for many days at tho threshold of the grave; but slowly he begins to recover; and at last tho doctors grant him a short furlough to visit his home. Home 1 The very word seems mockery. To return to tho army is impossible, for ho can scarcely walk ; to stay where he is is almost as bad; yet to go homo, is he not disgraced? And will any one ever speak to him? At last he determines to go back to R-to recruit, if possible, so as to return to his command and wash out tho foul blot on his name. As the train reaches tho depot, hs sass several who were once his friends, but who now turn the cold shoulder. He hastens home with downcast eyes, hardly daring to enter the presence of his mother, for fear she, too, will disown him. But when he gently raps at tho door, almost afraid to en? ter, tho door opons, and ho is clasped to his mother's breast. Hero is ono warm heart that believes not the as? persion against lier son's honor. And now, after bo finde that ho is wei x>me at home, and that he is re? spected there, he wonders how it will be with Ida. He had not, since that fearful day, written One line to her, fearing her contempt, and afraid that possibly she might behove that he acted the part of a coward. He de? termined to satisfy himself, and, after rfu/ftinintr hi? strength^ Lc Tontcrsd to call on her. Advancing hesitating? ly ap the broad walks, he encountered Mr. Stanhope face to face. 4,Ah, Mr. Worthington, how do you do, sir? Sorry to meet you un? der such circumstances, sir. You must excuso me, bat I am a plain speaking man, and as wo have met HO opportunely, I wish to speak with you privately. I oould not believe what I at first heard, uutil I was con? vinced of the fact by gontlemen of veracity. And, sir, I must request that your visits to my house be dis? continued after to-night. I cannot allow my daughter to associate with one who stands as you now do in this community." I "Mr. Stanhope, will you listen to me one moment?" "Certainly, sir." i "I would not and could not, under other circumstances, stand such lan? guage from any one, but knowing, as I do, how I have met with cool? ness on every hand, and knowing, also, that your mind has been poi? soned against me on accornt of cir? cumstances which I could not con? trol, I will bear the indignities heaped npon me until I can redeem my lost honor; but to you, sir, I say and declare, that I am innocent of the charge of cowardice, and w:" prove it, not only to you, but to tu? world. And I will not see your daughter (if you permit me to see her to-night) again until I stand as I onco did." "Mr. Worthington, I hope and trust that you will be able to clear away the stains against your former good name. When this is done, sir, you have my fall and free consent to be received at my house aa formerly. You can seo Ida to-night, but for tho last time until such a change takes place. Good evening, sir." Charlie was admitted into tho par? lor, and soon Ida made her appear? ance. "Oh! Charlie, Charlie, bow could they so malign you?" was all she could say. "Then, Ida, may I hope that you do not believe me a coward?" "As soon would I believe you a murderer," was ber reply. "Blessed be God! Two dear ones believe me innocent, and before the great God of Heaven, others shall soon." Charlie then narrated the conver? sation between her father and him? self, and comforted her with tbe assurance of all being right again soon. "Ida," said he, when ho arose to go, "I may be killed; if so, I will leave my honor reclaimed." "Ob! Charlie, don't talk about dying; how could I part with you?" "I hope that I am a Christian; and should I be killed, will wo not hope to meet above?" "Yes; but God grant that there may bo a full cup of happiness in store for us on earth, and that you will soon come back to your Ida-for yours I am, and any other's I will never be." "To-morrow I leave again, and as God is my judge, I will never como back under such a cloud." With sorrowing hearts, they part? ed, and in less than a week Charlie was again advancing with bis regi? ment into battle. It was on the his? toric ground of second Manassas. The field officers had to a man fallen, killed or wounded, and tho senior in command, not having instructions how to act or what to do, could only command a halt, and order the mon to lie down, to escapo as much as possible the incessnut rain of bullets. But there was one in the ranks on whom all eyes were riveted. Ho kept his standing position. Time and again was bo urged and euireatcd to take refuge; but proudly and de? fiantly ho stood, thinking not of danger, but remembering only that fearful day when honor, tho pride of man's life, was torn from him, and bo branded with ino name of coward. ! Ile seemed to bear a charmed life, as be stood loading and firing at tho enemy as coolly as though on com? pany drill. But at last tho fatal | missilt pierced the proud young I heart-and Charles Worthington, tho disgraced color-bearor, had redeemed I bis honor, but with his life. As tho writer stood besido tho still, j cold form, und looked upon this sad ! ' victim of man's inhumanity to man, ! he could but breathe a silent, fervent {> rayer in behalf of the blighted heart1 ar away, as yat unmindful of the great suffering in store. Wo buried him in a little pine thicket, beside- his fallen comrades, and may we not hope his sleep is as sweet as theirs? Should you ever pass the town of Ii-, and enter the cemetery there, you will seo a lonely grave, while at its head a weeping willow, planted but a few short years ago, keeps its silent vigils. That grave contains all that is mortal of Ida, the beloved and beautiful daughter of Mr. Stanhope. The graves of the lovers are widely separated, but their souls, we trust, are united.
