J. EAKINS. â€"â€" It was evident that something was weighing on old General Beaumont‘s mind that sunny June afternoon as he jogged along the pike on his big bay thoroughbred. The bridle reins had slipped from his hands and his head had sunk so low on his broad chest that only his double chin was visible under the wide brim of his soft black hat. For an hour he had not spoken to his attendan‘, Peter, who was following him on a sedate gray horse, carrying the G aneral's travel- ling~bag before him, his withered little black face bobbing up and down behind it like a particularly solemn jack-in-the box. It was in vain that the Blue-Grass, like a bride, unfolded all [her radiant young charms. The dogwood blossoms shock in the meadows,the white-fl )wering blackberry bushes nodded in the fence corners. the mocking-birds piped merry welzomes, and ,even the irascibie wood- peckers nodded their pugnac‘ous red heads cheerily. It was not until his intelligent horse had come to a sudden stop before an old-fashioned wooden gate hanging bet veen messy stone posts that the General looked up. It was his own gate, and the avenue of spreading oaks biyond led to his home. Before Peter could ride up: a shrill chorus of “Howdy, Marne George,” came from the other side. In a moment the gate swung open and the Guieral was surrounded by a dozen shining black faces. “Howdy, boys 3." responded the General, a twinkle in his kind grey eyes, ax he glanced over the ragged, barelegged troop. At the end of the avenue, where the ground swelled cently to a slight eleva- tion. stood the old Beaumont house. In other days it had been worthy of the noble approach, with its fine Colonial pillars, its wide halls and its broad verandas. But the plaster had fallen from the Colonial pillars, leaving ghastly red blotches here and thee; morning glories and Virginia-creepers had climbed up to the roof, and hung in tangled masses around the vex audas, while about the lawn sprawled untrained rose-bushes overburdened by the rich weight of their possessions, the fliwers half hidden in the rank high grass. 0n the lawn a dusky group was gather- ed aboat Aunt Mandy, whose fat hands rested on her broad hips. “I ’clar‘ to goodness, I’s mighty glad to see you!” cried Aunt Mandy, as the General rode up, her face beaming with pleasure. “ I speck you nearly}_dead, Marne George. Yo’ char’s out on do back porth waitin‘ an’ ready. Why don't you niggers behave yo'se’vcs l ” this to the crowd that was tumultuousiy welcom- ing the general. " You, Ike, an' Ben, an’ Sam, an’ Mose, you go an’ kill one dem Dominickers,an’ stop pesterin‘ Mme George." The boys darted away on a message so congenial. Peter led the horses away to the stable, and the General, followed by Mandy, who was volubly tellinz all the news, passed through the hall to the veranda and threw himself in a tired way into his great easy chair. Above his head, in a cluster of honey- suckle, the bees hummed drowsily. No other s; 01: in all the world was as dear to the old General as this. Everything upon which his eye rested was' endeared to him by the most sacred associations. 0n the very spot where he sat he had played about his mother’s knee. 011' there where the deep, line of green stretched across the bottom lauds was the creek where he andlbis father had fished; the woods beyond had been the favorite hunting grounds of his brother and himself. Over the brow of that distant. hillâ€"ah, how well did he remem- bar the day, though it was many and many a year agoâ€"he had ridden with a gentle brown eyed girl by his side, and when he closedhisorel 110”“! recall most indium fl-‘rr unmmmmunepmudlr convinced. '3 .__I ;r_s - :3 pointedtout thehomefitbst was to bobort. And their boyâ€"their brilliant.bandsomo, manly boyâ€"was there a blade of grass in the meadow, or a leaf in the woods, or a drop of water in the creek,that did not speak of him to that lonely old man 3 And over there beyond the orchard, where the golden glory of the sinking sun rested on sombre pines and cedars and weeping willows, they were all await- ing him. There, side by side, slept his father and mother, inseparable in death as in life. His brother rested with them. There too, was the boy who had fallen by his side in that wild charge up the heights at Gettysburg, and who had been brought back to rest beside his mother, who had never lived to see him. Of all those who had lived and loved in that old house. of all those who had ane his name, he could claim kindred. The glowing crimson and gold of the sunset died away in ashen grey, and still the old man sat, leaning back in his chair looking out into the twilight. with the shadows ever deepening upon his kindly face. With an effort he aroused himself from this painful reverie, lifted l’is head and saw Peter sitting on the edge of the piazza, eyeing him with a troubled look on his withered little black face. “Why, Peter, how long have you been here i" inquired the General in a sur- prised tone. “I don’no’, sub,” replied Peter respect- fully. “ 1 saw you war a-studyin‘ an' I didn’t want to pester you.” “ Peter,” said the old General solemn- ly, “I was just going to send for you. 1 want you to promise to do something for me." Peter, who was too much astonish- ed at the tone of his master to say any- thing, nodded his grey head. “ Peter,” continued the General, “I am going away from here, going away, never, to come back." The General paused for a mom- ent. Peter, with his mouth wide open and his eyes staring. sat motionless. “ After the lust mortgage," continued the General went on in a slow, even tone, “you know the horses went wrong. T 9 money all melted away before I knew it. I went east to try and get it back, but things have changed around. the tracks there. All my old friends were dead and gone, and the tracks are full of young men too keen and smart for you and me, much too smart for us. I come back poor enough. This place don't belong to me any more, nor anything that's on it. The ground I gave you and Mandy when you got married thirty years ago belongs to you all, so does all that's on it. I made them put that in the mortgage. They win’t move Aunt Sally and Uncle George, either. I amuoing to ask you to keep my horse for meâ€" that and Glengarry are all I have left. Train Glengarry as you please. I think when he comes round he will race. He‘s half-brother to McGregor, and there never was a horse stood on iron like McGregor. You know, for you trained him." There was a proud ring in the old man's voice. He was silent for a mom- ent, and when he continued it was in a quieter tone, “Now, Peter, 1 am going away in the morning, and I! want you, when I'm gone, to tell Mandy and the others thatIam not coming back say more." The General had bsen looking straight ahead while he was talking, but now he turned to Peter. Peter was still sitting in the same position. During all lhe time the General was speaking he had nit stirred hand or foot; but down his wrinkled black face tears were silently streaming. Suddenly he threw his arms around the General's Knees, and burying his head in the Generai’siap he burst forth into vehement sobs. “0h, Marse George, Mtiree George I " he cried wildly. “Please dr n't leave ole Petah ! Oh, please don't leave pooh ole Pelah! What you goin' to do in de mahnin’ with nobody to shine and lo shave ycu 2 Who can take care 0' you, Marse George, like I kin? Oh, please, please, Maarse George, lemme go too I ” and the little body shook and swayed beneath the storm of his grief, and the thin old arms clung to the General tighter and tighter. “Why, Peter," said the General, un- steadily, as he rested his hand softly on the bowed grey head in his lap, “I never knew you to behave this way before, and you and I have been together a long time, Peter. We used to roll around on this porch together when we were babies, didn't we? But. you never acted this way before. Why, where’- your nerve, Peter? This is not the Peter that went skating with me down the creek when ti e ice broke, and got the fence rails and crawled out (11 them to save me. This can‘t be the Peter that took old Bobolink over the iumps at Saratoga when be ill d never ridden ’croas country in his life, inst because my money was down and they had bought my jockey. I wouldn‘t have believed it cf you. it must have been some other Peter that carried the boy away that day at Gettysburg, when the shells were bursting and the bullets screeching. That Peter wouldn't have acted this way!” And now the tears of the two old men mingled together there in the darkness, and so swaying and weeping together they grew calmer, and when Aunt Mandy. after having rung the supper-bell for the third time without getting a repcnse, came out to see what had happened, she met the General coming in with Peter, as usual, close behind him.
