LARA VERNY; OR, TIIE APOSTATE PRIEST. |
A TAI.E.
My parents, 1 believe inherited nothing but.
It honest tiaine, and a pretty little cottage, with 3
s acre of land, in a small village in the south \
I'lreland, where I was born. The infancy and j
lildhood of the poor are, unfortunately, too:
uch alike; cruel oppression and want often 3
.tend their advent to a life of woe, and cling 3
rin as the ivy round their path in after years.
. When seven years old I was sent to the vil- ;
go school, and there first met Morgan O'Neil, i
|st eighteen months my elder, and a pour
(endless orphan. His mother died in giving
At birth, and father he had none to call hint
lild, although the seducer of iiis mother regu
,rly paid a small pittance to an old woman in
e parish for his support; and she had placed'
jm, ill-clad and ill-fed, at this school, to save!
jrself some trouble, and to enable her tliu bet
:r to make a little profit out of the allowance j
"(.he poor boy's parent, who iiad never seen 1
is son.
What melancholy thoughts have since rush- j
1 through my brain when I have looked on
|s handsome and noble face! a man without a .
ante; degraded from the moment lie breathed
ie breath of life; not recognized by ttic law or |
,ie world's law, (which visits on the helpless
,ibe and ensnared but often truly loving and
lithful mother the sins of the base villain who ;
as been the cause of all their wretchedness;)
,'herever he turns, the hand writing on the,
rail proclaims him a bastard!
From the day we met we became friends—
tch friends as children and school mutes are: 3
te were companions in every sport, and our
issons were never so well said as when we!
?arnt them side by side, strolling along the vil
ge walks, or sitting in rnv father's arbor; for
lorgan soon became my visitor, and many a
.early meal had the then famished child recciv
d in our humble cot'age.
Years flew by, and 1 was fast changing from
,ie playful and romping girl to
A woman newly ripened.
Ve mot less frequently: he became an appren
ce to a country cobbler, (the meanest occupa-
Son is always chosen for the unfortunate ofl-1
oring of the licentious [Missions of the rich,)
nd I worked with my mother to eke out a!
:anty subsistence. Still, in the summer even- 1
Wax, from a sympathy of tastes or by accident,
▼rbaps, we not uncommonly walked the same ,
Lad, and together admired the same wild j
tenery. Then we were happy. He had ne
br spoken of love—such love as woman is anx- ]
uis to reciprocate, yet fears to have declared:
ut we each well knew our hearts were united j
y a tie which forms and ceremonies may ren
er legal, but can never strengthen or make
ore holy. Then when the Sabbath came
und, and the week's toil was over, ue met in !
od's own house; and after thanking him for
jr spared lives, and all liis heavenly goodness, j
lent forth to admire our Maker in his works, i
ffll pass the day he has set apart for our rest in 3
ie innocent recreation such an appointment
nmilcstly recognizes. How 1 looked forward
j Sunday! None but the poor, who earn their j
aily bread by hard work, can tell with what'
elight tho Sabbath day is hailed by millions.:
it is almost the only mark which divides and
tatinguishes us from the brutes which perish;:
nd yet this last remaining privilege is sought
j bo abridged, if not entirely cut off, by the
'vangelicnl reformers, who not content with
porting their own features, and crushing the
-.ffcllect Heaven has bestowed upon them, with
ill indignity will impiously strive to convert
ne poor man's day of relaxation and enjoyment
iito a time of fasting and restraint. Outiip
jn these sleek hypocrites? May God judge
Jicm with more mercy than they now will
[rant their fellow men.
I One night when we met, Morgan's face be
•nyed an anxious care, and a deep misery, I
mddercd to look on. He gazed earnestly at
ie, but never spoke. Alas! his countenance
,as a too true index to his feelings.
AND BALTIMORE DAILY CLIPPER.
PIUNTKD AND PUBLISHED EVERY MOKNINU. BY BULL & TUTTLE, No. 134 BALTIMORE STREET, BALTIMORE. M<l.
The sky was clear and bright: not a cloud
obstructed the progress of the Queen of night
towards Iter heavenly throne; all round was
still, and delicioiisly quiet. I looked up to the j
starry skv, and, for a moment, all earthly care,
bad ceased. Morgan took my band, the tears j
were, almost unknown to myself, creeping
down mv cheeks and when aroused by his j
touch, and 1 looked at him once more, all was
over; with passionate burst of glief 1 fell into,
his arms and in hysterical sobs lost for awhile j
all sense of existence. Gradually animation I
returned, and in the fust moments of rc-awak-j
ening lite, the burning words of passion, of j
love, of hope, were poured into my ears. One I
more happy burst ot' tears, and our lips sealed |
an engagement nor time nor circumstance can
change.
I was not long in discovering the cause of |
my lover's dejection. The pride of birth could j
not brook the insult and the contumely which j
assailed him every day, and, reckless of the ;
consequences, lie had left Ins home, and stood
alone in the wide world an exile from cuni-j
miseralion. Sad indeed, was his lot; the orphan
of the beggar will never want—charity will j
keep his blood warm and feed bis empty stom
ach: but for him, what hope remained, what
rediess but death! Fiom the womb lie was
stamped with ignominy; as a babe he was
cradled in shame and sorrow, and only grew a
man to feel more acutely the misery lie could |
not escape. Still,' God tempers the wind to
the shorn lamb;' and after a little thought Mor
gan determined to enlist as a soldier. 1 heard
the resolve with a fearful foreboding, and yet
he knew it. was his only course. Could we part?
1 paused but a moment, and then, hanging
round his neck in all the fresh joy of requited
love, I promised—what he was afraid to ask
that 1 would be his companion and wife. The
last ray of the moon was disappearing, andj
dark clouds were gathering around. Can tlie|
revolving sky reveal the secrets of the future,
or give to man a warning of his fate?
Evil tidings ever travel swiftest, and the too
true report soon reached me that my lover had
entered the king's service, and was already
inarching to the next town. 1 will not try to
tell what 1 felt; if every word which can ex
press the woe of woman was condensed into
| one brief syllable, it should not pass my lips;
I so miserably weak would be the likeness to the
' original. Such sorrow cannot be depicted; it
' 'Ploughs deep fiirwws in the cheek of beauty,'
and leaves its wretched victim the ghost of
what she was—a living monument of man's
dishonesty, standing forth in bold relief to warn
arid guide the unwary.
The breath of time dried up my tears, but
my heart still bled, my cheeks were blanched,
I the freshness of youth was gone, and all hope
i well nigh vanished: when one long evening as ,
I sat at the casement of our cottage, listlessly j
j watching the return of my father and mother
j from a wake in the village, 1 fancied that I i
1 heard a step near, and in another infinite a
■ rustling in the shrubs convinced me some in
i truder was at hand; and rising from the bench
3 I was hastily closing the window, when 1 heard
| my name rather whispered than spoken aloud,
but in the softest accents of that voice there
1 was something too familiar to escape detec
tion. Could it be possible? But before i had
time for conjecture, my own dear Morgan stood
before me. Neither spoke; we were too full of
i joy, too rich in the enjoyment of the moment,
to permit a thought of past or future to check
i the pent up stream of youth's first love. We
■ could not spare one word to purify the air, or
j waft the petfume of the heart's pure incense!
back to its native heaven.
A length broken and hurried sentences told
j the sad story. My father had lefused to allow
{ our marriage, and Morgan did not dare to trust
! himself with me after all hope was extinguish-!
j ed, lint immediately joined other recruits
j marching for the depot in England. Many of
Lis comrades were light-hearted and gay, more
! still happy in the anticipation of the future.—
Not so Morgan; silent, even to moroseness, it
3 must he supposed few long tiied to gain his
friendship; and sick at heart, and disgusted
with all around him, he jumped to the only re
j source (had and useless as it is) which is allow
!ed to the poor when ruined. Dram succeeding
dram drowned all reason; but then it shut the
door on the past—thickly studded as it was
j with recollections of love requited and destroy-,
j ed, life ami rising spirit all blasted in the sum
mer of existence—could not but conjure up a
hell of fearful visions, seen, perhaps, through a
| long vista of many changes, and some not near,
i but still' too surely terminating in madness—
| insanity.
Let most rigorous disciples of the pious Ma
thew pause a moment ere he condemns for
i thus endeavoring to stitle 'thick coining fan
cies' of a distempered brain.
Philosophy sounds well from the pulpit; is |
i admirable in the abstract, and may be the pan
acea for a multitude of evils: but it 'cannot j
! minister to a inind diseased,'or heal the bro
ken heart; nought but the hand of God, the:
j influence of true religion, can avail iri such a|
j strait. Murg.ni lias often told me since that;
■ the contemplation to terminate bis weary exis
| tence by his own hand was at this time con-J
I stantly reclining and vvitli difficulty resisted. |
Is it not a strange delusion which prompts j
j man to self-destruction? which prompts him,:
1 unsuinmoned, to rush before Heaven's high tri-:
j buna!, the gory stains on bis hands giving j
j damning evidence of bis guilt; bis own blood'
j calling for the Eternal's judgment on his soul? |
i What strict laws she lias been at much pains to'
I lay down for the guidance of the suicide in his i
I horrid deed! The man whose every hope hasj
j been ruthlessly nipped in the bud; who mourns j
3 a wife or daughter violated; a once happy and
' cheerful fireside converted into hellish leminis-j
i ccnces; and sees crowding around him on eve
! ry side nought but demon spectres chuckling j
j over his present anguish, and proclaiming I
themselves the heralds of torments still to 3
come; —such a man may, in a moment, j
| cut short the thread of life, determined rather j
to hazard everlasting bliss than longer submit I
to earthly misery. But it will depend on tliej
humanity of a jury, whether blessed by tliei
rites of Christian burial the soulless body shall J
seek its native earth, or lie uninournod in some'
lone spot unhallowed by human ordinahce. —
; Not so with the bold perpetrator of some dark
deed, who having wickedly "earned a deep
damnation," when stung by the ever-speaking
but still voice of conscience, will, in the fury
of despair, rush to the front of the battle, em
bracing death, and by the world's decree, writ
ing his own epitaph on the annals of fame. j
But 1 must hurry on with my story. In one
half-hour after wo met, I was walking away by
TLJKSDA V MORNING, NOVEMBER 12, 1844.
J his side an exile from my home, with no friend
But a mail whose crime proclaimed him itu out
i law. The grass was that night our couch; the
j lieu veils drew their curtains round us, and God
j from oil high watched over our slumbers.—
| I loppy is the rest of the innocent, happy indeed
tile repose ot those who can look beyond the
| world's cares and strife to heaven as a final
j resting place. Who would not prefer a cold
; bar-door-step, with a tranquil conscience, to a
; bed of down and an aching heart? Our sleep
i was sweet; for, although trouble and sorrow
I encompassed our path, love threw its light he
■ tore and guided us forward. Yet we wcic both
I in universal estimation, criminals; lie had quit
| ted his duty,was amenable to bis country's laws:
and I bad left my parents, and forfeited all
I right again to claim their protection. Hut is
I their no claim, no tie on mankind superior to
| these conventional rules of right and wrong?—
i Is nature to submit to the dictates of cold regu
; lations, or tty, on her own warm impulses, an
i aerial spirit of good in a world of sin? Give ine
I lie unshackled freedom of natural ideas, uiicor- j
rupted liy evil connections or had education; '
; let us rather regard our own feelings, than the
code by which our compters are willing to lie ■
guided. Hi tit! —and lie who has given the |
wards of inspiration for our benefit and control,
will not allow us to err in our conclusions if I
we sincerely ask his assistance.
As soon as it was possible to do so, we were
married, and slowly pursued our way towards a
distant part ot the country, subsisting ontbecha- j
rity and hospitali y of a free, warm-hearted peo- |
pie, for, whatever have been the misfortunes of j
Ireland, however low she may have sunk in the
scale of nations, she is still most conspicuous in
these Christian virtues, and her honest, frank
peasantry she may well be proud of.
We struggled through every difficulty; rnv
husband too much occupied with me, too lull
of love to let either poverty or any apprehen- 1
soins for his safety interfere with our happiness
in each other; and the holy name of wife had
given to my decreasing strength fresh energy. |
Thus we travelled on until we reached the lit
tle village where, I scarce know why, we had
agreed to rest, and seek to live by the exertion
of our hands. Morgan, young arid active, was
not long helbre lie obtained very good employ
ment. We earned a subsistence, and required |
not more; we enjoyed riches in ourselves to
which those clad m purple and fine gold are :
often strangers. What visions of hope then
dazzled us! and alas! how cruelly have we been
deceived!
The clergyman of the parish was Morgan's
master. He was a man considerably past the
middleage, and was married to a very beauti
ful young lady, who with, her two little chil
dren, not (infrequently visited our poor hut,
and, by her feeling generosity, often added
| much to our comfort. The first time 1 saw
her husband I hated him; in his presence my
i blood was chilled with feur. I know not wheth
j er such hasty impressions may gradually be
] come a settled conviction, or if there be a feel
ing wisely implanted within, to wain us even
iioin the approach of danger, and which every
day cries out more loudly to beware. Howev
er, the rector was my aversion, and my hus
band sought in vain to combat with what lie
called my prejudices. 1 shrunk from bis ap
proach, and shunned his presence when possi
ble, but this 1 was seldom able to do; for, under
| the pretence of pastoral visits, and with the
Bible as a cloak for his schemes, 1 soon discov
; ered that he sought to corrupt my mind
and undermine my virtue. And so precious
! was his reasoning, and so apparently honest j
and holy his motives, that I was almost con
vinced against conviction that 1 had suspected
without cause, and condemned hastily and un
justly a good man and God's minister. But the
1 veil was speedily to be removed from my eyes;
liis own wife warned me of my danger! She
told me her own sad story; how that she,
the daughter of an English peer, had been do- '
ceived into marriage with this man, who, the
moment he had thus secured her fortune, for
got his vows, added cruelty to infidelity, and
even attempted to sell his wife's honor to a
licentious patron, as the pr : iof church prefer
ment.
Such a concatenation ot crime is horrible,
even in contemplation; but how awfully ap
palling in the reality! A servant of the Most
High, sworn to preach religion and inculcate
! morality, breaking iiis oath, and himself in
-1 citing to sin; making the very office to which
lie has been ordained his passport to debauche
ry, and the inspired volume a foundation for
j his infernal sophistry; prostituting the sacra
ments and altars of his church to the vilest of
purposes, arid heaping full to the brim the noi
| some compound of atrocity, which will, in the
end, ignite the eternal fires to devour his mise
rable soul.
| My persecutor, finding that I was proof
■ against all his insidious arts, and that my vir
j tue would not be surrendered to bis fascina
tions, threw oft' the mask and openly assailed
j me with menace and threat, lie told ine that
my husband had confided his secret to him, j
; and that iny chastity must be the price of his :
silence; dared I refuse, a prison should that ve
ry night close on the man 1 most loved, and !
i destitute and unfriended, he would compel me j
to satiety his lusts, and then throw tuc on the j
world a debased and miserable outcast. Bred
3 up, from my earliest childhood, in the princi- |
pies of a religion which inculcates the strictest
' morality, and in a country where the marriage i
bed is guarded by the honor of brave men and .
' the fidelity of honest women, I shuddered at |
lus very words. Taught from infancy to re
gard the priesthood as examples of all that is
3 good and pure, as servants of our Saviour, 1
I could scarcely believe I hoard aright tiie bold
! bad words which this man had uttered; and,
i falling on my knees before him, I prayed, in
all the earnestness of terror, for mercy—for
protection. But in vain: the hot blood of pas
[ sion was now even more strong than his for
-1 iner base intentions, and rushing on me with
| brutal force, might have succeeded where so- j
| phistry had failed; hut the door quickly open- !
3 ed, and the injured wife confronted her recre-'
I ant husband! Villains are always cowaids, j
j and, dashing me from him with a fearful im- I
I precation, lie rushed away from the presence
of the beautiful cruature who now regarded
him with that scorn and contempt one in her
situation must over feel. 1 can tell no more:
everything swam before me, and my eyes
closed. ******
Some weeks after this I began slowly to re
cover from a fever which had dreadfully shaken
| my frame, and, for a time, destroyed my rea
son. Would to God that I had never risen
' from that bed!
I It was night when I awoke from a long
| sleep, with sense restored; 1 was alone in tin
darkened chamber, and the rays of the de
clining moon wore but dimly visible through
the curtains. An involuntary slmddei all at !
Once came over ine; 1 felt as if the damp air j
of the grave was gathering around; my eyes |
were fixed and distended, and yet gazing on '
vacancy. Everything was so still it seemed '
as if the last few moments weie passing before j
the clarion of heaven would summon all to j
judgment. Suddenly the midnight hell rang
out the hour, and, vvitli one loud shriek, I leap
ed from the bed and fell heavily on the floor. !
I cannot describe the feeling of that moment; \
it could only he the association of an instant
with the disencumbered soul of him I loved— j
the last embrace ere lie crossed the threshold I
of eternity.
Need 1 tell more! My husband iiad been !
seized and brought to trial as a deserter bv the
information of the wretch who had vowed thill
this should he the penalty of my resistance of
liis foul lust. Condemnation and degrading
punishment were certain; and Morgan, who j
would have faced every danger with courage,
recoiled at the bare idea of the torturing lash,
and sought a sure release from life in an at
tempt to escape from his cell, lie fell by the
fire of the guard, as the clock struck twelve,
on the very night 1 awoke!
I have done. The fiend who thus destroy
ed my every hope lias gone to answer for his
crimes, and receive his punishment; his poor
wife had long before, broken-hearted, sunk un
der his increasing cruelty and neglect; and, us
his eyes were fast closing to all of earth, lie
learned that the poor man he had so heartless
ly hurried to an untimely end was his own son! j
the offspring of Ins guilt.
This world's pomp and luxury followed the
apostate priest to his last bourne, and the loud
Te Dcuni was chanted over the gilded tomb; |
but the virtuous and good will gain their re- j
ward where the iniglity Judge of all the earth i
is 'no respecter of persons.'
