?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. <
