In tbe afiring of 1SS4 there was confined in the city prison at Norfolk, Ya., a Union soldier—a _vuuijf man of twenty-two—charg ed with detertiun. A court martial had al ready ,ut upon bis case, and he was waiting iu sentence. Tt:e circutnstanccs, which were deeply in tereAtin^, ai excited wide .sympathy in be half of tLe prisoner, ware briefly these: A Virginian by birth, tbe rernor.-iel.-sa con scription bad forced him into the rebel artny, but with tbe full purpose on his part, as be always maintained, not to fire a shot agairmt the old (hi?, and to desert to tbe Union lines at tbe earliest opportunity. ft so happened tbat tbe chance wkieb he sought occurred during tbe siege of Wash ington, N. C\, in the spring of 1803, and with aix olbcr Yirgini&ns, and three Eait Tennesseeans, he cam. over to our pickets and surrendered bimself a prisoner of war.

But as I the privilege bad been frcnucntly abused, the regulation* concerning it Lau gradually become more strict, till at length it was difli cult to get a pass for such a purpose. Now it was that the ingenuity of the sol 'lier* set to work to outwit Uiuir commanders. Tbe plan hit npon wa« this. Tbey induced a farmer, li\ing near the cauip, to loan or s«»il them a suit of bis clothes. A soldier bad only tu dutf hu uuiform and put on the farmer's suit, thereiore, and be could cross tfce lines of bis camp ucchallenged, and come to tbe city at his leiiure. Quite a number bad done this n itb complete success, considering that tbey were tiolating a rule of war whose penalty was death. The pris oner was among the number. Failing to getn pas., after rejwated attempts, he bad put pn the farmer's dress, walked boldl^out of camp and started for Norfolk. Sii bouts afterwards be was Lro.igbt back as a desert er, having been met on tL- road by bis Col onel and Captaiu, recognized and arrested. Yet even then the poor fellow did not dre.im of the nature of tbe crime he had commit ted, and what w«rv tbe charges that would be preferred against him. It was not till a few days Utter, aUea be was arraigned before a military court, and put on trial for his hfe, tbat he understood the danger u!' his position. It was vain that he asserted bis innocence of any intent to do w rc:ig, least o! ail to de sert that he pleaded tbat others bad done just wbat he had witb uo evil design. Ap jHWancea «&t alt sgainst hiin. He was without his uniform,disguised, lieeitig from bis regiment. He was else a Southerner, and deserted from the rebel nrttiy, and it was presumed that he was either trying to play tbe same game OD US, 3V V A I A N GUARDIAN, VOL. 10, NO. 42.

When, Uierelbie, his sen was read to bim, be was overwhelmed witb amazement and agony not tbe unn.auiy nnd contemptible agony of a coward, but the a£ ony that shrinks fruui a great dishonor. He had fully anticipated au acquittal, thinking that ethers would look upou his fault as be did. But (he cruel verdict, falling with un erinp and stunning force, crushed out all light and hope. By a singular coincidence, it was the l."thof April, just one year from the tirue he bad tome into our linesat Wash ington. I had been to tbe hospital, but bad returned to mi quarters, aad was about sit ting down to dinner, when a note was hand ed me from the captaiu of the prison, urging me to come at once aud see a man senten ced to be shot Ihe next morning. With the least delay possible, 1 hurried over to the prison. Coining to the cell, what was my surprise to see a man whom 1 had met a twelve month before as a rebel deserter, now doomed to die as a Union deserter. The recognition was mutual. Moaning piteouslv, lie said It's murder, it's tourder, they won't kill mc, will they?'' My friend," I replied, this is a strange and sad.meeting. 1 hadn't a dream of see ing you here. I deeply feel tor you, and hope 4eu are not guilty of the crime for which you arc condemned." O, sir! Gcd knows I am not. How could tlicy thiuk s i! 1 didn't mean to do anything wrong, I never thought to desert. I ouly wanted to conic to Norfolk to buy me some things that 1 needed. 1 asked uiv cap tain firapaaeuaie aud tiuue again, but'be wouWn't'jpve me one. 1 onto pot on the other clothes as ollieis did. And now I mast die for it. O Hod! O Godl I nevee thought it would come to this I" "StopI Stop/ I can't bear this. You are a soldier, you are not afraid to die. lie a man. lie calm, and let us quietly look at vour eoeditkm ana determine *hnt is best to done." That's, true, sir. am a soldier, cts die as a soldier. Bat to have say uni- one's friends think he is guilty if he were.' I know. Jtut it's dreadful, dreadful. What shall I do "Do? Be a man. Do vour duty. You are sentenced to be shot. I expect vou will meet vour fate 'ike a brave man. Not cow nrdlv fear, no pitiable displays of weakoeef and tretnhlinp."' I am not afraid to (ties. But to have my comrades think mc a deserter 1'' Perhaps they will not. Biit if they it will not make you so, unless you intended to Ix." "True. But I could die in peace, if I knew thfy thonjrht me innocent."' Ood will take care of that. Let as leave it tn him." Tell me, then, what to do.' "Have yon any friendsf TOiir.si-!f?" eni." And so. after reading the 14th chapter of John, with em: basis and meaning we nev er coinpn-bctidcd before, we kneeled tojetb 011 the coM stones. Aa best I could I com mitted him and his case nnto God. asking especially that he mi^'hl live, it it should please the Lord, but that li.ing or dyinjr he might be His. And then the prisoner broke out in such a prayer of entreaty, and resig nation, and trust, tbe most sweet eloquent and touching, I have ever listened. AVe rose from our knees. I said this man is no traitor, and must not be shot. A preat wrong will be done if he is, and my country must not bo guilty his blood. I left the cell. It was now near night. The prisoner was to lie shot between 10 and 12 o'clock tbe next day. I told my convic tion to others. We determined to make an effort to save him. A trusty man was d. least a reprieve fir a But all the night the operator stood by his instrument watching for a reply none came. Morning dawned bright, and calm, and sweet, but it brought no hope to the prisoner. I sought his cell. He had slept like a child, was perfectly tranquil, and look ed forth te his doom without dismay. He met with a pleasant greeting, and expressed surprise and gratitude that I had come so earlv. And then we took our testaments, reaJ and talktd of wonderful thinps which Sire o'clock, but no reprieve the last hope is gone.

In a few moments tbe prisoner, guarded on either side, comes forth, enters tbe ambulance, which the cav alry formed in a hollow squar receive into the center. And now the whole steru nrrav moves slowly off to the sound of muffled drums, beatinp the sad solemn death march. It is the music of a man on his way to the scaffold. How its roll echoes and shivers along tbe depths of the heart How it stills and almost freezes the pulses! 1 nave won dered since when a lost soul sinks down to it doom, whether the angels muffle their harps and fling across the responsive chords the unutterable sadness which such a tran scendent event might be supposed to inspire Ah me who can tell?
