?She Alway? Mad* Hom? Hnppy." In an old ohuroh-yard stood a ?tone. Weather marked and stained. The hand of time bad crumbled it, Bo only part remained. Upon one ?ide I could just trace "In memory of oar mother;" An epitaph which spoke of "homo" Was chisolcd on toe other, I'd gazed on monuments of "famo. High, towering to the skies: I'd seen the sculptured marble-stone Whero a great hero lies; But by this epitaph I paused. Ana read it o'er and o'er, Tor I had never seen inscribed Sueh words as thoso before.' .'She always made home happy." What A noble record left! ?? \. A legacy of memory sweet To those abo loved, bereft. And what a testimony given By those who knew her best, .. Engraven on this plain, rude stono That marked their mother's rc ut. It was an bumble rosting place. 1 knew that they were poor: But they had seen their mother Bink, And patiently euduro. They had marked her cheerful spirit, Wnon boaring, ono hy ono, Hor many burdons up the hid, Till all nor work was dono. So. when was stilled her woary heart, Folded hcrbaudu so white, And she was carried from tim homo She'd always made HO bright. Her children raised a monument That monoy could not buy, As witness of a ?oblo life. Whoso record ls on high. A noble life! but written not ' Bi any book of fame; Among the list of noted ones Nono ever saw her name: For only her own household knew The victories she had won; And none but they could testify How well her work was dono. Better than costly monument Of marble, ri oh and rare, Is that rude stone whose humblo face Buch words of honor bear. Ohl may we chisel on the hearts Of those of home we love An epitaph whose truth may bo Witnessed for us above. THE SECRET OF THE TWO PLASTER CASTS. Years before the accession of her Ma? jesty Queen Victoria, and yet at not so remote a date as to be utterly beyond the period to which the reminiscences of our | middle-aged readers extend, it happened that two English gentlemen sat at table on a summer's evening, after dinner, quietly sipping their wine, and engaged in desultory conversation. They were both men know to fame. One of them was a sculptor whose statues adorned the palaces of princes, and whose chiselled busts were the pride of half the nobility of his nation; the other was no less re? nowned as an anatomist and surgeon. The age of the anatomist might have been guessed at fifty, but the guess would have erred on the Bide ef youth by at least ten years. That of the sculptor could scarcely be more than flvo-and thirtv. A bust of the anatomist, so ad? mirably executed aa to present, although in stone, the perfect similitude of life and flesh stood upon a pedestal opposite to the table, at which cat the pair, and at once explained at least one oonnecting link of companionship between them. The anatomist was exhibiting for the criticism of his friend a rare gem, which he had just drawn from his cabinet; it Was a crucifix, magnificently carved in ivory, and incased in a setting of pure gold. - "The carving, my dear sir," observed Mr. Fiddyes; the. sculp tor, "is indeed, as you say, exquisite. Tho.muscles are ad? mirably made-out, the flesh well modell? ed--wonderfully so for the sise and ma? terial; and yet-by-the-by, on this point you must know more than I-the more I tin:.! upon the matter, the morel regard' the artistic conception as utterly falso and wrong." "You speak ?n a riddle," replied Dr. Carnell; "but pray go on, and ex? plain." "It is a fanoy I first had in my stu? dent-days," replied Fiddyes. "Conven? tionality, not to say a most proper and becoming reverence, prevents people by no means ignorant from considering thc point. But once.think upon it, and yon at least, of all men, must at once perceive how utterly impossible it would bo for a victim nailed upon a cross by hands and feet to preserve the position invariably displayed in figures of tho Crucifixion. Those who so portray it fail in what Bhould bo their most awful and agonizing effect. Think for one moment, nnd im? agino, if you can, what would be tho at? titude of a man, living or dead, under this frightful torture." "You startle mo," returned the great surgeon, "not only by the truth of your remarks, but by their obviousness. It is strange indeed, that such a matter bhould have so long been overlooked. The moro I think upon it, tho moro the bare idea of actual crucifixion seems to horrify me-though lloaveu knows I am accustomed enough to scenes of Buffer? ing. How would you represent such u terrible ngonv?" "Indeed, i oan't tell," replied Lin sculptor; "to guess would bo almos vain. Tho fearful strain upon tho mus oles, their utter hnlplossuo.1? and inactivi? ty tho frightful swellings, tho ched of weight upon tho racked and tortured Binews, appal mo too much oven for spe? culation." "But this," replied tho surgeon, "ono might think a matter of importaneo, not only to art, but, higher still, to religion itself." "Maybe so," returned tho sculptor. "But perhaps the appeal to tho senses through a true representation might be too horrible for either the ono or the other." "Still," persisted the surgeon, I should like-say for ouriosity-though I am weak enough to believe oven in my motive as a higher one-to ascertain the effect from act nal observation." "So should I oould it bo dono rr/.d of conrse without pnin to tho objcot, which, as a oondition, yeenis to present ul tho outset on iniposribility." ".VcrImps not," muued the anatomist, "I think I have ? nption. Stay-we maj contrive this matter. I will tell yon my plftD, and it will be ?trange in? deed il we two cannot manage to Carry it out." The discourse here, owing to the rapt attention of both'speakers, assumed a low and earnest tone, but had perhaps better be narrated by a relation Of the events to which it gave rise, ttuffice it rossy that the Sovereign was more than once mentioned during its progress, and in a manner which plainly told that tho two speakers each possessed sufficient influence to obtain the assistance of royalty, and that such assistance would be required in their soheme. The shades of evening deepened while tho two were still conversing. And, leav? ing this scene, let us oast one hurried glimpse at another taking plaeo contem? poraneously. Between Pimlico nod Chelsea, aud aeross a ennui of which the bud has since been UBCCI for the ruilwny termination at Victoria Station, there wns ul the time of which we speak a rtulo timber footway, long since replaced by a more substantial and convenient erection, but then known as the Wooden Bridg<\ i t was named shortly afterwards Cut-throat Bridge, and for this reason: While Mr. Feddyes and Dr. Caruoll wore discoursing over thoir wino, as wo havo already seen, ono Peter Starke, a drnnkon Chelsea pensioner, was murder? ing his wife upon the spot we have last indicated. The coincidence was cu? rious. In those days the punishment of criminals followed closely upon their conviction. The Chelsea pensioner whom wo lmvo mentioned was found guilty on Friday, and sentenced to dio on the fol? lowing Monday. He was a sad scoun? drel, impenitent to the last, glorifying in the deeds of slaughter which he had wit? nessed and anted during the series of campaigns which had just ended pre? viously at Waterloo. He was a tall, well built fellow enough, of middle age, for bis class was not then as now, composed chiefly of veterans, but comprised ol many young men, just sufficiently disa? bled to be unfit for service. Petei Starke, although but slightly wounded, had nearly completed his term of ser? vice, and had obtained his pension and presentment to Chelsea Hospital. Wi tl his life we haye little to do, save as re? gards its close, which we shall shortly endeavor to describ- fur more veracious ly, and at some greater length, thun sel forlh in the brief account which satis lied tho publie of his own day, ant which, as embodied in the columns o tho few journals then appearing, rai thus : "On Monday last, Peter Starke wai exeonted at Newgate for the murder n the Wooden Bridge, Chelsea, with foo; others, for various offences. After hi had been hanging for a few minutes, i respite arrived, but although he wa promptly cut down, life was prononnce< to be extinot. His body was burie< within the prison walls." Thus far history*. But the ooncisenes of history far more frequently embodie falsehood than truth. Perhaps the fol lowing narration may approach mon nearly to the facts. A room within the prison had been upon that special occasion and by higl authority, allotted to the use of Dr. Cai nell and Mr. Fiddyes, the famous sculp tor, for the purpose of certain investigo tions connected with art and science. I that room Mr. Fiddyes, while wretohe Peter Starke was yet swinging betwee heaven and earth, was busily engaged i arranging a variety of implements an materials, consisting of a large quantit of Ploster-of-Paris two large pails c water, some tubs, and other necessaric of the moulder's art. The room coi tai ned a large deal tablo and a woode cross, not neatly planed and squared t the angles, but of thick, narrow, rudel HU wu oaken plank; fixed by strong heav nails. And while Mr. Fiddyes was thu occupied, tho executioner entered, beai ing upon his shoulders the body of th wretched Peter, which he flung heavil upon the table. "You are sure he is dead?" asked M Fiddyes. "Dead as a heiring," replied theothe: "And just as warm and limp ns if ho hu only fainted." "Then go to work nt once," replie tho sculptor, as turning his back upc thc hangman, he resumed his occupi tion. The "work" was soon done. Pot? was stripped, and nailed upon the tic ber, which was instantly propped again the wall. "As lino a ono 08 cvor I seo," exclain cd tho executioner, ns ho regarded tl defunct murdcror with an expression < admiration, as if at his own handiworl j in having abruptly demolished such magnificent animal. "Drops a good h for'nrd, though. Shall 1 tie him ii round lite waist, sir?" "Certainly not," i el urned tho seul) tor. ",7u?*. mb him well over with th oil, especially lu3 hoad, ?nd IIICD ye eau go. Dr. Carnell will Kettle wil you." "All right, Rir." The fellow did aa order*?*, and rotin wit bout nuolher word, leaving th strange couple, tho living and tho dea< in I but dismal chamber. Mr. Fiddyes was a niau of strong ncr' in such mutters. He had been too mut accustomed to taking posthumous eas to trouble himself with any sentiment repugnance at his approaching task taking what is called a "piece-moult from a body. Ho emptied a number bags of tho white plaster-of-Paris in ono of the larger vessels, poured iuto a pail of water, and was carefully stirrii np tho macs, when a sou nd cl droppii arrested his ear. Drip, (fr i p. "T:io V.? something leaking," ho mn (eted, f?'; ho look np n second pail, HI ernptyiarg if, a>ia stirred the eompoi tv '. J),,',), th'ifi, d''i p. "iVrt si lange," ho soliloquized, hi alona. "Tbox? ia no more water, and yet-" The sound waa heard again. Ho gazed at the ceiling; there -waa no sign of damp. He tamed bis eyes to the body, and something soddenly caused him a violent start The murderer waa bleeding. The sculptor, spite of his command over himself, turned, pale. At that mo? ment the head of Starke moved-dearly mored. It raised itself convulsively for a single moment; its ejes rolled, and it gave vent to a subdued moan of intense agon j. Mr. Fiddyea foll fainting on the floor as Dr. Carnell entered. It needed but a glance to tell the doctor what had happened, even had not Peter just then given vent to another low cry. Tho sur? geon's measures were soon taken. Lock? ing the door, he bore a ohair to the wall which supported . tho body of tho,male? factor. - Ho drew from his pocket a case of glittering instruments, und with ono of these, so small and delicato that it scarcely seemed largor than a necdlo, hu rapidly, but doxtrously nud firmly, touched Peter just nt tho back of the neck. There was no wound larger than the hoad of a small pin, und yet tho head foll instantly us though tho heart bad beou pioroad. , Tho doctor hud divided the spinal cord, and Poter Starke was dead. A few minutes sufficed to recall tho sculptor to bis senses. Ho nt first gazed wildly upon the still suspended boy, so painfully recalled to life by the rongh vene-seotion of tho hangman and the subsequent friction of annointing bis body to prevent tho adhesion of the plaster. "You need not fear now," said Dr. Cornwell; "I assure yon he is dead." "But he teas alive, surely!" "Only for a momont, and even that scarcely to be called life-mere muscular contraction, my dear sir, mere muscular contraction." The sculptor resumed his labor. The body wus girt at various circumferences with fine twine, to bo afterwards with? drawn through a thick coating of plaster, so as to separate the various pices of the mould, which was at last completed; and after this Dr. Carnell skillfully flayed the body, to enable a second mould to be taken of the entire figure, showing every muscle of the outer layer. The two moulds were thus taken. It is difficult to conceive more ghastly ap? pearances than ?hey presented. For sculptor's work they were utterly use? less; for no artist except the most daring of realists would have ventured to indi? cate the horrors whioh they presented. Fiddyes refused to receive them. Dr. Carnell, hard and cruel as he was, for kindness' sake, io his profession, was a gentle, genial father of a family of daughters. He received the casts, and at once consigned them to a garret, to which he forbade aocess. His youngest daughter, one unfortunate day, daring ber father's absence, was impelled by feminine curiosity-perhaps a little in? creased by the prohibition-to cuter the mysterious chamber. Whether she imagined in the pallid figure upon the oross a celestial rebuke for her disobedience, or whether she was overcome by the mere mortal horror of one or both of those dreadful casts, can uow never be kuowu. But this is true, she became a maniac. The writer of this has more than onoo seen (as, no doubt, have many others,) tho plaster effigies of Peter Stark, after their removal from Dr. Carnell's to a famous studio near the Regent's Park. It was there that he heard whispered the strange story of their origin. Sculptor and surgeon are now both, long since dead, and it is no longer necessary to keep THE BECKET OP THE TWO PLASTEB CASTS. < "That Gough will Kill you!" Try "COSTAR'S" Cough Rrmcdy.
