THAT ( TOWARD.
UY THOMAS M'NALLT.
Ou Ibo river line of Missouri , In 1601 ,
Jived two families , snmll fanners , and
both without paternal heads or guides.
Dugal Moore , with his aged mother , con-
Ititutcd thu one ; Allen Dean , with mother
and sister , hold the other and neighbor
ing homestead.
liotn young mon worn not yet in their
majority wliun the stirring events of se
cession racked tiio union. They hud been
close friend's since boyhood. All the sur
rounding country knew that Ducal and
pretty Jennie Dcr\n , Allen's young sister ,
Vrcro and had been devoted lovers since
they wore old enough to know the mean
ing of such a word * , likewise that the two
farms were to bo united as well as the
lovers so BOOH ns "things bcciuuo more
Bottled. "
But "things" becnmo more and more
unsettled , and when the clash of war
eventually caused all to realize that strife
was a fixed and inevitable fast , then the
troubles of the expectant pair grow , to
them , far darker than the clouds that
lowered over our land.
For Uugal had the fixedness of his own
opinions , and from the first he had been
nn outspoken ndvocato of the Union ,
While Allen , hot-hondod. us strongly
espoused the cause of thu South ,
When the call of the drum roused mon
ti arms Allen was among the first to en-
1 list under the confederate Hag. Every
body expected that Dugal would be
equally prompt to light for the stars and
stripes ; but Uugal made no sign , lie had
carefully weighed his duty to his country
mid to the old mother who had long over
taxed her strength to support him in his
helplessness , if ho left her she must
Starve , and to all the entreaties , demands
and threats of those whoso principles ho
supported his answer was simply : "lean-
> jaot leave my mother. "
"Mammy calf" they called him and
many other hard names.
They promised to see that his mother
Bhouhl want for nothing , but ho , having
'Jho long , clear head of the Scotch ances
i try , could easily see what such promises
wore worth when all about him were as
poor as himself , and when the whole
country was quickly becoming depopu
lated of every available mm on one side
or the other. So ho stuek to ills resolu
tion , and in a little time was really the
only able-bodied young man in his sec
tion.
tion.And
And all scouted him and avoided him ,
and wjth linger and touguo pointed him
out as "that coward. "
It was hard on a young follow of
twenty who had been popular for these
feats of strength and agility that are
there so highly estimated , and who had
been respected so greatly for his common
soiiso that liis elders often sought nnd
were guided by his advice. And , worse
than all , Jennie Dean cast him off ; she
could and would have decided with him
politically , but to have the lover in whom
eho had so gloried called "that coward"
.was far too much for a girl of that section
to bear , and she held her head higher
from him than all others.
Dugal stood'even this without remon
strance , though no ouu over know how
deep the iron" entered his soul. lie
worked like a slave , and bettor , with his
surplus and hands ho was always ready
to aid the many poor women who then
stood badly in need of help , and ( .hough
oven those who received his bounty said
ho was only "trying to curry favor ; " yet
this , with a scornful contempt of men ,
parties who visited his suction , saved him
from violence nnd death.
In the later part of 1803 Jonnlo Dean
was roused ono night by a fovv clods
thrown against the window of the room
in which she slept. Fearlessly she pooped
out ; quickly she darted to the door of the
'poor house , now poorer than over , and ,
opening it. admitted a worn , starving ,
ragged soldier , who , once ho had reached
shelter , needed the assistance of her arm
to guide him in.
It was Alien. Detailed for a scout , ho
hail been pursued by Union cavalry , and
boy-like , yearned to see these ho loved ,
had used liis knowledge of by-paths and
sought his homo and these ho know
would shelter him , hap what might
Tenderly he was cared for and cried over
nnd fed nnd doctored as best the sister
nnd mother could with the few simples at
their command. Then ho was hidden in
a little nsod loft under thu roof aud all
was quiet.
Half a mile away , sitting head in hands
r by the bedside of the mother to whom ho
was so devoted , was Dugal , "that cow-
nrd. " But though the body of his par
ent lay within his reach her spirit had lied
not half nn hour before. The poor
woman had bravely borne up against the
ill-roputo of her son and the neglect of
her former friends , but hard work and
the quiet , inward suffering of wounded
prided had worn her out at last , and only
nt the last she had seemed to fully
understand how and why her son had
ns ho did. and with her parting breath
oho blessed him and told him time would
make all things right.
As the stalwart youth sat there , won
dering in his misery to whom ho cou'd '
apply for help , ho heard the tramp of
horses on the road. He heard them halt.
Thnro wa.su shout.
"Hollo , there ! Housol"
Motioning the old negro woman , their
only servant for years , to go out and see
what was requiredhe resumed his moody
silence and posture.
How long the woman was gone ho did
not note , but aim returned erect , with the
lire of wrath in her eves.
"Ila ! Mar.s Dug'l. Dat 'or stuck up
Miss Jlnniu ' 11 hiug todder side 'or motif
'fore long I reckons. Dem dars Yan
kees , an' doys goin' tor cotoh dat rob
All111 wets come skulkin1 back yer. Doy
didn't jiht know do road , but 1 dun tell
'cm do way , shuahl"
Then Dugal arose with his face white
with rage ; that .woman had never been
nearer dead than that moment.
"You murderess ! " ho hissed , and
sprang for her. But ho restrained him
self as she cowered before him.
"Lot the dead bury thu dead , " ho mut
tered.
Ho gave her some directions ns to going
for thu ono person on whom he could de
pend , in case ho did not return , for pay
ing the last service to that cold clay that
he left ; then went nnd kissed the lips of
his dead mother and strode out into the
darkness.
Swift ns a donr , quiet r.s a panther , ho
rnailo his way to the Dean house , by
paths that would be Inaccessible to cav-
ulry'i If Allen were there , his plans were
Already made. The friend of his youth
must bo in hiding , nnd Diigal knew the
old homestead so thoroughly that ho was
certain where to find him. Ho reached
the back of the house just ns the troop
drew up before It. Quickly ho climbed
on thu roof of the "lean to'r nnd quietly
he entered the little apartment. A few
rays from the moon showed him a gaunt
form stretched upon a hastily made bed
on the lloor. Ho knelt down nnd put his
hand upon the figure. In an instant the
man rose and tried to grapple with him ,
then loll back with n groan.
"Allen , man ? Allen , dear ! It's me ,
Dugnl. Do nothing , say nothing. They
shall not take you. "
There was a noise nt the door , the
scream of nn elder and the wild protesta
tions of n young woman wcro mingled
with the gruff , firm voice of a man.
"We'll search the house , Miss , and if
ho ain't hero there's no harm done , but
search it we must nnd will. "
Dugal wns busy nil this time , nnd as
Jennie with her frail body was trying to
bar thu entrance of the otliccr and his
men , behind her appeared n figure in
'
butternut , n ragged 'attempt nt uniform.
"Don't harm my mother nnd sister ; I
will go with you , " said the new arrival.
Jennie gave one glance and sank
( insulcss upon the Moor ; thu old mother
Yas long since blind and speechless from
rifjht.
Gladly the troops secured their pris
oner and hurried away from such a
scnnc.
It was early morning when they
reached the headnuarters of the com
mand. The colonel was n man who had
suffered much ; he believed in n war of
retaliation , lie neither asked nor gave
quarter.
Thu prisoner was brought before him.
"Who are you * "
"Allen Dean. "
"What regiment ? "
"Tenth Alabama. "
"What are you doing iu our lines ? "
"On a scout. "
"Shoot him at noon ! " was the quiet but
stern order [ riven to thu lieutenant aud
thu doomed man was marched away.
Noon came , there was no time for
nuch prayer or question , and the unfor
tunate had made no sign.
The "lirmg detail" had been made ,
roops were ranged about , the prisoner
was brought from a lent used as a guardHouse -
House ami placed before an open , shal
low grave.
Five minutes and all would bo over.
A sorry-looking mule came forcing its
way along the road ; on it was a young
man who swayed from sidn to side with
weakness and whoso thin cheeks burned
with fever and excitement. So sudden
nnd strange was his appearance that ho
'orced himself through the lltui before jn-
( irfcrenco was thought of nnd , tottering
toward the condemned , ho threw his
arnis about him , then facing the troop ho
cried :
"I am Allen Dean I nm a rebel ; this
is Dugal Moore , and a true union man. "
There was a confusion of course there
was au inquiry ; for , the colonel , though
hard , was just.
"Why did you personate this man ? " ho
asked.
"Ho was my friend before the war. "
'Has ' he a sister ? " asked the shrewd
commander.
"Ho has , sir , " replied Dugal , nnd his
pale face blushed.
"I thought so there's ' always a woman
in it , " said the colonel to * , hiniKulf , but ho
said no mbfti. ,
Dugal was sot free. Allen remained a
prisoner , but was released in time to at
tend the wedding of Jennie and Dugal.
The former ' 'Hob , " unfit for service ,
stayed at home. Dugal entered the
Union army , served through the war and
loft it with high rank. Many are honors
that have been heaped upon him and
many more ho will yet receive at the
hands of those who once branded him as
"That "
Coward.
TWO QUAKER WEDDINGS.
Peculiarly Interesting Kvcnts in Phil
adelphia Society.
A Philadelphia letter says : Society
has been showing a good deal of interest
in thu marriage of two maidens of rich
Quakers families. The ono was made
wife with all the simplicity of ceremonial
characteristic of the disciples of Fox in
the old days. The wedding of the ether
was a great fashionable crush , with
abundance to cat and drink and a great
show of gowns and jewels.
The father of the first girl has a million
or two ma'd'e in the shipping tr.ule , nnd
he could have made a great splurge had
he chosen. But ho still has a profound
regard for the book of discipline , and his
child was mated as decorously as her
mother had been before her. To bo sure ,
there was some latitude as to the color
and make of the gown , and there were
signs of a festival hero and there in a
mild way. It was an evening wedding
nt the bride's houso. The cominir of the
event had already been announced in
meeting , and no objection was made ,
though the groom himself was not any
too strict in the observance of the so
ciety's rules. But that docs not count ferns
ns much nowadays as it used to. and the
n.atch was considered an excellent one
11 around. The bride and groom , hav
ing made ready , came down into thu
parlor very plr.inly furnished with stiff-
backed black mohair chairs , nil sitting
primly around thu walls. Thu briilc were
a white silk gown , not too long in the
train , with a tulle veil nnd orange blos
soms. The geom was in n regulation
evening dress. The relatives and other
invited guests and the immediate families
of both the parties , of course , wcro ail as
sembled. The bride and groom sat down
for a few moments on chairs placed for
them over nt the head of the room. Not
n soul spoke till the groom , rising , ex
tended his hand to the bride and raised
her up. And there before the people ho
plighted his troth and she professed her
love for him and gave herself to bo his
wife and promised to love and obey him
for all her days. Thou the marriage
contract wns produced nnd the groom
and bride signed. Then the parents put
their names there and all the rest did the
same , till the paper was quite full. After
that there was some feasting ; tea am'
buns , and cold meats , some confections
and so on , were served. But , thotigl
there was no loud laughing , no bolster
ousness nt all , no commimcnts , and
everybody was "then , " or "Thomas , " or
"John , " or plain "Jonos , " and nobody
tried to lord it ostentatiously over the
servants , yet there was n vast deal o
joy shown in the shining eyes and in the
swrot smiles , anil a great deal of true
gentility manifest in thu appearance and
behavior of the company. This was an
"old-fashioned" wedding.and the people
for the most part "old style friends , "
who are not very numerous now , oven in
thn "Quaker City. " But the few among
the guests who were not members of the
society found the occasion delicious in its
plainness and a vast deal more enjoyable
than most of the "now stylo" crushes.
The other Quaker maiden was the
chief figure in a splendidly dressed
throng. Two thousand people had been
asked to her wedding , which took place
nt the country place of her mother , fif
teen miles out. The older woman has
some ? ; J,003ODO. Her daughter came out
last autumn , and she gave n round of
costly entertainments in the girl's honor.
So many people in society were thus
placed under obligations that n much
larger proportion of the cards than usual
were accepted. The family nro Episco
palians In these later days , nnd the cere
mony was performed nt the picturesque-
looking .stone church about a mile nnd
half fntiu the house. After the. wedding
there Wns a fete champctro at thu resi
dence of the bride's mother , with great
gossiping and driiiKlng out on the Inwu.
The bride wore something altogether
now In the way of wedding clothes. Her
gown wns made in the classic stvlo.cline-
ing close to her fine figure. It was of
Bungnline silk , moderately decollete ,
with short sleeves. The skirt was nlto-
ecther without trimming save the edge ,
which was adorned with silver nnd
pearls. A broad girdle encircled thu
waist nnd fell In front quite to the hem
of the dress. The bridesmaids , of whom
there were eight , were In white crepe ,
with big hats trimmed witli wild flowers.
The wealthy mother of the bride was her
self brought up in accordance with the
rules of the Society of Friends , nnd in
her youth were n trim drnb gown nnd
poke bonnet. Her own mother , who is
still living , continues to bo a professional
member of the society , dresses in ap
proved simplicity , and says "theo" to
every ono.

A New Iliirchnril.
A snag has already been encountered
in tlio Protestant Kpiscopal cathedral en
terprise , which was so promisingly
floated. It docs not amount to a disaster ,
but it IP , nevertheless , a damage. Bishop
Potter has a liurchurd in the per
son of Hector Morgan , of fho very rich
and fashionable Church of the Heavenly
Kcht. in Fifth avenue. The still greater
Triiiit.v church had a celebration of Queen
Victoria. Morgan preached tlio sermon.
His principal point was that a memori
al window had buun devised for the pro-
joctud ralhedral , and that In the colored
glass Victoria was going to hu extolled
anil glonlicd. Now , no queen , however
imiiuble , can bu greatly vunuratud in the
city of Now York , and already the can
vassers for contributions to the cathedral
fund are wanting to know if u Victoria
window can pusslblv be a feature of the
structure. U is understood that Hishof
Potter has assured several persona tin
no such tiling is likely.
