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.
