TYRANNY RAMPANT, GRACE TRIUMPHANT.
Hofer, though not expecting so sudden a doom, received the announcement
of it with fortitude. "Let me see a priest," said he.
Father Manifesti, a dignified and venerable old man, immediately came
to him, and remained with him to the hour of his death.
The greater part of the night was spent in devotional exercises; the
remainder in conversing on the war; in the course of which, Hofer
expressed his firm conviction that the Tyrol must and would eventually
revert to Austria. He also penned the following letter to an old friend
and neighbour in the Passeyrthal:--
"MY VERY DEAR BROTHER,
"It is the will of God, that here, at Mantua, I change a mortal for
an eternal state. But, thanks be to God! this step appears as easy to
me as if it were to conduct me elsewhere; and He will, doubtless,
support me, and conduct me safely to the end, that my soul may join
the company of the elect, in that place where it may be permitted to
me to implore his mercy towards all those so dear to me here below;
those, especially, whose kindnesses have reached me. You, yourself, my
very dear friend, and your wife, are included among the latter; and
my thanks are yours for the little book, and for many things else.
Pray for me!--you and all the dear friends who yet live in the world I
am leaving,--pray for me! that I may be delivered from the purgatory
where I must otherwise, perhaps, suffer for my sins.
"My very dear wife will take care that mass shall be said, and a
requiem sung, in the Chapel of St. Martin, and that prayers shall be
put up in the parish churches. The innkeeper will provide meat and
soup, and half a pot of wine, for each of my friends and relatives.
"My dear Puhler, go yourself to St. Martin, and tell all to the
innkeeper: he will do what is necessary; but do not say a word to any
other person of the affair.
"May you, and all whom I leave behind me, be well and happy in this
world, till we meet in a better, and praise God for ever. I beg all
my friends, and the inhabitants of Passeyr, to remember me in their
prayers. Let not my dear wife afflict herself too much on account of
my death. I will pray for her, and for all, in the presence of God.
"Farewell, fleeting world! death appears so sweet as to render life
unworthy of a tear.
"Written at five o'clock in the morning: and, at nine, I go to God,
and the glorious company of the saints!
"Thy beloved in this life,
"ANDREW HOFER,
"Of Sand, in Passeyr.
"Mantua, February 20, 1810.
"In the name and by the help of the Lord I shall undertake this
journey."
At the appointed hour, he was led from his prison cell to the bastion
near the Porta Ceresa. On his way thither, several Tyrolese threw
themselves, weeping, at his feet, and besought his blessing: others
pressed their anxious faces against their prison-bars, as though to
devour him with their eyes, weeping and praying for him aloud. Hofer
paused, and begged forgiveness of them all, if, haply, he had led them
astray; assuring them he felt confident they would yet be restored to
the protection of their loved emperor Franzel, for whom he gave a final
hurra.
He had already given into Father Manifesti's charge all that he
possessed, consisting of five hundred florins in Austrian bank-notes,
a silver snuff-box, and two rosaries, entreating him to convey them,
with his last words, to his family.
Arrived at the bastion, the commanding-officer ordered his men to halt.
The grenadiers formed a square, open in the rear; twelve men and a
corporal then stepped forward, while Hofer remained standing in the
centre.
The drummer then offered him a white handkerchief to bind over his
eyes, and desired him to kneel down; but, to the first, Hofer replied,
"I have been accustomed to look into the mouths of cannon;" and to the
second, "No! I am accustomed to stand in the presence of my Creator,
and in that posture will I deliver up my soul to Him." There was a
simple grandeur in his words and mien that unsteadied the hands of
his executioners. He gave a twenty-kreutzer piece to the corporal,
recommending him to do his duty well, and pronounced the word "Fire!"
in a firm voice. But they all fired ineffectually! A firmer hand, at
length, proved successful; and Hofer fell--fell, to rise to immortal
fame in this world, and eternal happiness in another! Among the
numerous crimes of Buonaparte, none stains him with a greater disgrace
than this.
Berthier, who was then at Vienna, excited general indignation by the
hypocrisy of his affected pity for him, which led him even to assert
that his death would give great pain to Napoleon, who would never have
permitted it, could he have helped it.
The spot on which he fell is still regarded as holy ground. His body,
instead of being left for some time, as is usual, at the place of
execution, was immediately borne by the grenadiers on a black bier
to St. Michael's church, where it lay in state, watched by a guard
of honour, that the people might see that the famous chieftain was
actually slain.
The funeral then took place with all the impressive solemnity of the
Roman Catholic ritual, as though, by the honour they paid his remains,
the French were anxious to compensate for the injuries they had done
him while living.
The voice of bitter weeping was heard from _am Sand_. The valleys of
the Tyrol were in sorrow. Troops of dejected or indignant peasants were
seen hurrying across the mountains, to attend the funeral services in
the parish churches of the Passeyrthal. The widow and orphans refused
to be comforted. A messenger from the Emperor Francis arrived at _am
Sand_, offering the family an asylum in Austria, with money enough to
settle themselves, and a pension of two thousand florins. But, no; Anna
Hofer could not bring herself to leave _am Sand_. She accepted the
pension, and the promise to provide for her son; but she herself would
never quit the old walls.
Speckbacher was not immediately aware of Hofer's fall. We left him
in his mountain fastnesses, dwelling among perpetual snows, and only
approaching the haunts of men when impelled by hunger. On one of these
occasions, he was cautiously approaching a group of people, consisting
of a man, woman, and some children, near the little village of
Volderberg, when it struck him that they appeared to be fugitives like
himself, and would probably prove unable to assist him in his need.
On approaching them, O joy! he beheld his Maria, with her children
and honest Zoppel. They had been driven from their home, and knew
not whither to turn, unless to some humble kinsfolk of Zoppel's.
Gratitude for their reunion made them, for a time, insensible to
their privations. Zoppel's good cousin made them welcome to some
out-buildings, where Zoppel supported them for some weeks by the
labour of his hands. Even in this poor refuge, they enjoyed sweet,
though sorrowful, communion: Maria had the children to occupy her, and
Speckbacher carved chamois-horns delicately, and made those exquisite
little bassi-relievi of birds, with feathers fastened on paper, for
which the Tyrolese are so famous.
At length his hiding-place was suspected; they withdrew to the ruin
of an old castle, perched on a dizzy peak. Here, too, his enemies
tracked him; so he was obliged to tear himself again from his beloved
family, and seek refuge in a cavern on the Gemshaken, one of the
most inaccessible heights of the Eisglet Scherr. Taking advantage
of a fearful snow-storm, which answered the purpose of effacing
his footsteps, he, aided by Zoppel, succeeded in conveying to this
dangerous place a stock of provisions, sufficient to last a temperate
mountaineer a fortnight or three weeks. When these were exhausted, he
could only depend on the wild animals he caught by stratagem, which he
was obliged to eat raw, as the smoke of a fire would have betrayed him
to his enemies. Endeavour to realize the terrible condition of this
man--his solitude, inaction, exposure to intense cold, miserable food,
and perpetual danger! And yet, though fallen on evil times, he seems to
have bated no jot of heart or hope; but, in the true spirit of a man
and a Christian, to have endured.
At the close of winter, when the snow began to melt, he had ventured
a few paces from his cavern, when an avalanche from the summit of the
Gemshaken suddenly descended with an awful noise, and swept him along
with it, down a descent of not less than half a league.
Though to escape with life was marvellous, he had not much reason to
exult in his good fortune, for he had dislocated his hip; and, finding
himself unable to return to his cavern, he painfully crawled towards
the little village of Volderberg, which had formerly given shelter to
him with his family. He did not reach the cottage of Zoppel's kinsman,
Hans, till after dark. Hans, hearing a slight sound outside, thought a
wolf was prowling round the cottage, and approached the door cautiously
with his rifle. On beholding a man crouching down, he at first took him
for a spy, and was half ready to give him the reception he had intended
for the wolf; but on hearing Speckbacher faintly say, "Hans, don't you
know me?" he became overwhelmed with joy and grief.
"O master! is it you?" cried he. "O master! master!"
"Draw me in, Hans,--draw me gently,--I have broken some bone, I think--"
"Alas! alas! and we knew not what had become of you--my dame and I. We
had given you over as lost. And to think of the poor Sandwirth being
shot!"--
"Hold!--"
Speckbacher began to cry like a child. His sobs grew deeper and deeper,
till they were terrible to hear. The awe-stricken peasants stood beside
him, pressing their hands hard together, without venturing to proffer a
word. "Tell me how it all was," said he, at length drying his eyes, and
then bursting out anew.
Hans told all he had heard; and Speckbacher continued to weep. At
length, the good woman of the cottage got him to bed, tended him
carefully, and gave him a warm drink in which she had infused a few
drops of the steinbock's blood, that rare and sovereign remedy for all
hurts in the mountains!
"This will throw you into a violent perspiration and put you soundly to
sleep," said she sapiently; "and after twenty-four hours in bed, you
will be quite well. The water in which I have bathed your wounds had
had the ball that shot the steinbock boiled in it, for that also is of
sovereign virtue in cases such as these."
Speckbacher did not lack faith; and, exhausted by sorrow, pain, and
fatigue, he soon justified his hostess's prediction by sleeping
profoundly, and for many hours. When he woke, it was with a heavy
heart. Hans had called in a village doctor to see to the dislocated
hip-joint; the case required inaction, but spies were abroad, and Hans
did not believe his safety from them could be reckoned on for a moment.
When night closed in, therefore, these two faithful men took the tall
Speckbacher in their arms, and carried him through by-paths to his own
cottage at Rinn, two good leagues off, where they deposited him in the
stable.
Zoppel, sleeping in the loft, drowsily called out--
"I say! who's there?" Then, peering down upon them, "Why, Hans! is it
you?"
"Hist!" says Hans. "We've brought home your master, and laid him on the
straw; and now we must be off, or day will break and we shall be seen,
which will spoil all."
"Oh, what joy!" murmurs Zoppel, somewhat incoherently, as he slips on
his clothes. He hastened down to Speckbacher, and they had a long talk
together, before they could well see one another's faces.
"But, master," says Zoppel, "I can't think how on earth we shall
manage, for Hans little guessed we have some Bavarian soldiers
quartered upon us, who are lounging in and out all day, expecting you
to be hanging about your home. But I know what I'll do! I'll dig a
trench for you underneath where the cattle stand, but beyond the reach
of their hoofs, and lay plenty of straw in it. Into this I will lift
you, and then cover you well up with straw, only leaving you just room
to breathe--"
"But, Zoppel, I should like to see my wife first--"
"No, no, master! no!--let her be, I advise ye. Women are soft-hearted,
and she would be distressed beyond measure to see you in such a
place, and would always be fidgeting about, wanting to make you more
comfortable, and the soldiers would naturally ask themselves, 'Why
does the woman go so often into the stable?' and so you would be found
out. No, no--leave her to me, master; I'll find the right time to tell
her you're safe and not far off; but if I told her _how_ near you were,
you wouldn't be safe long!"
All this while, Zoppel was digging the trench with might and main; and,
as soon as it was finished, he lifted his master into it, and covered
him well up: having previously given him a piece of bread and a good
draught of milk. It was well he had lost no time in these proceedings;
for scarcely had day dawned, when a couple of Bavarian soldiers lounged
into the stable to look after their horses, and began to talk to Zoppel
while he appeared to be busy cleaning some harness.
Speckbacher remained in this agreeable position seven weeks! _un vivo
sepolto_--unable to change his position, and only taking such food as
his servant could administer to him thus recumbent. But it was better
than the cavern of Gemshaken--here he had bread instead of raw meat,
and milk instead of snow-water: warmth instead of cold--society instead
of solitude--proximity to his family instead of being beyond all ken
of them--knowledge of the affairs of the world without, instead of
ignorance and anxiety.
He could hear the hens cluck and the geese cackle; could look into
the oxen's large, patient eyes, without fear of their betraying him;
could now and then hear Maria's voice, Anderl's laugh, and the baby's
cry. One day Anderl and his little sister had quite a long gossip just
outside the stable, within a yard of Speckbacher's ear. At other times,
he slily listened to the Bavarians; through whom, as they cleaned their
horses, he learned a good deal of news that was not intended for him:
among other things, that they were heartily sick of their present life.
His posture became almost intolerably irksome and painful; but it
effected one good thing; an entire cure of his dislocated joint; and,
when he found himself growing impatient, he thought of Him who was born
in a manger.
At length, just as he was beginning to feel he could bear it no longer,
the soldiers ran in, began saddling their horses, and, as he gathered
from them, were about to depart. In about an hour, Zoppel came in, full
of suppressed joy. After carefully securing the door, "I am now going
to dig you up," said he, "wash you, dress you, and trim your hair and
beard; for if your wife were to see you as you are, she would take you
for a wild beast."
Poor Speckbacher was quite a log in his hands; for long inaction had
deprived him of the use of his limbs; and it was not in less than two
or three days that he was able to quit the stable. Meanwhile, however,
Zoppel, having finished his task much to their mutual satisfaction,
sought Maria, and told her the wonderful secret. The joy of the
meeting, when she flew into the stable, need hardly be described.
It was felt, however, that the Tyrol could not shelter him; therefore,
as soon as he regained the use of his limbs, he reluctantly gave the
children his farewell embrace and blessing, and started at dusk towards
the Styrian Alps, accompanied the first league by his faithful wife.
Once across the Alps, he was no longer in danger; and, after a
fatiguing and painful journey, he reached Vienna, where he was joined a
few months afterwards by his Maria and the children. Here they remained
quietly, till the Tyrol reverted to Austria, when they returned to
spend the remainder of their days in their beloved country. Speckbacher
lived till 1820, when he died at the age of fifty-two, and was buried
with military honours. His brave son Anderl was recently, and may be
now, superintendent of the iron-works at Jenbach.
Father Joachim, after hiding in various quarters, and leading a life
of great peril for nearly a year, at length succeeded in crossing
the Bavarian Alps to the Lake of Constance. By way of St. Gall, he
reached the abbey of Einsiedeln, in Switzerland. From thence he passed
into the estates of Venice; and, by way of Friuli and Carinthia, he
at length reached Vienna, where he found Speckbacher. He received a
golden cross and a sum of money from the emperor, in acknowledgment
of his loyal service; and for some years afterwards, he officiated in
different cures in Lower Austria.
In 1848, the cry went through the Tyrol, "The Rothbart is up again!"
and eager volunteers flocked round the old man, who was once more, as
field-chaplain, on his way to the battle-field in Italy. Danger seemed
to threaten the empire from that quarter; and the Tyrolese, with their
old fidelity, were again ready to fight for Austria.
In 1856, the veteran had quarters assigned him in the imperial
summer-palace at Salzberg, with a pension of a thousand florins per
annum. There, on fine days, he might be seen, scarcely more than a year
ago, sitting under the majestic trees in tranquil meditation. His hair
was silver-grey; he was slightly lame, a little deaf, and very chary
of his speech: but, if spoken to of _the Year Nine_, his cheek would
kindle, his eye would light up, and the old man would speak of his
comrades and their stirring deeds as if they were but of yesterday. His
jubilee,--the fiftieth anniversary of his priesthood,--was held last
September. Soon afterwards, the venerable Capuchin was gathered to his
fathers.
In the autumn of 1810, a wedding-train might have been seen issuing
from the little church of St. Martin, and proceeding to _am Sand_.
It was not a gay, but a sympathetic festival, for many of Hofer's
companions in arms were there; and, though several spies mingled among
them, they were on their guard, and would not be tempted by them to
pledge the dangerous toast, "Freiheit Zur Tyrol!" But they drank health
and happiness to Rudolf and Theresa, and many an old allusion was
safely made, with a sigh, under the breath, and standing apart; and
they felt they all loved one another the dearer for having suffered
together in a generous though lost cause.
In 1824, a tardy act of justice was done by the Emperor of Austria.
The remains of Hofer were removed to Botzen; and thence, in solemn
procession, to Innsbruck, where they were interred in the imperial
church, on the day following the fourteenth anniversary of his
execution. The Tyrolese flocked to join the funeral in astonishing
multitudes. The governor of the Tyrol took part in it; the nobles and
dignitaries of the land swelled the train; long columns of imperial
troops slowly marched to the solemn strains of music that befit a
soldier's funeral. Then came the priests in their sacred vestments,
with crosier and crucifix borne aloft. On the coffin lay Hofer's
hat, sword, gold chain, and medal. Twelve of his brother innkeepers
bore the pall, and many of his companions in arms followed in the
procession. The Abbot of Wiltau pronounced the funeral benediction,--a
requiem was chanted; and then--they left his perishable remains with
all the honours that perishable men have to give.
A monument has since been erected over his tomb, which is not far from
that giant-guarded one of the Emperor Maximilian, and excites as much
interest, though of a different kind. His statue well represents him
in his accustomed peasant-garb, his face turned heavenward, one hand
grasping the national banner, the other holding the barrel of the rifle
slung from his shoulder. His sword-belt bears his initials, and the
date of the Year Nine. The whole embodies your conception of the man.
His name continues to be a dangerous spell. It is spoken under the
breath, if spoken at all. Gold cannot buy any memoir of his life
in the Tyrol. The German accounts of him are in the highest degree
depreciating. His poor relics in the Innsbruck Museum were at one time
deemed too exciting to be seen. But his spirit still lives among the
mountains: his name will never perish.
It was soon after the statue had been erected, that a couple of men
might have been seen attentively gazing upon it. The taller and elder
of the two leant strongly on the shoulder of the younger--the likeness
they bore one another bespoke them father and son.
Speckbacher gazed long and earnestly--then dashed away a tear. "'Tis
himself," murmured he, in a low, emphatic voice; "as like as stone can
be to flesh and blood. See, Anderl! how a plain, homely, upright man
may achieve fame! But yet this sinks into nothing, compared with his
heavenly reward."
THE END.
