THJ" LESSON Off THE M A Hi ll For some of them the last reveille has sounded The day of strife and, ot service and Of silfferinK ls over. Tiley are !. oking with di nun ed eyes toward the setting ol the ??in. and soon will come the .silvery notes of the tattoo <iili ami Hun taps "Lights out along the line, go to Hleep." Keunlons are not merely occasions of bunting and of t.ngs and of parades and of cheering. They recall and they foretell. Theae meetings reeall those days of the sharp agony of conflict, tin- long convalescence, the fearsome vi^ii on the picket line, the hunger and the thirst of the rifle pit, tho smoke ami the dust and the noisome odors of the blood fertile field. Tiny foretell the relentless march of the remorseless urms of Time which decimates and then annihilates all armies. The last few days have been happy ones for the old soldiers of South Carolina. Thc embrace, the comming ling of tears of joy, the happiness of uazing once more Into the loving eyes of comrades long Binee believed to have been dead. Oh, the week has been full of such beautiful Incidents, such reunions that no people can ap preciate save those who fought under Hie Starry Cross, fought when they knew they were heir ? driven hack, surely and remorselessly, and yet they fought, stubbornly, valiantly happily In the cause of their beloved country. And comes thc reflection, doubly sad after thc fleeting days of happi ness, that for some this ls the last re union. Just a few more years and these guidon hearted men witt nave j gone from among us, yes, the last one. I Just a few more years and they will not he here to tell of the great battles which made the world gape In amaze ment upon the valor of the South, with her untrained soldiers facing thc trained and serried ranks of the reg ulars or thu army of the United States, ' In numbers overwhelming. As the days go by, lt becomes moro and more the Intensified duty of the people of the South to keep alive the memories of those conflicts in which we waged a glorious fight Our chil I dren hiust be given the true sentiment of the South In the matter of Seces sion. Where proud monuments rear their heads, there must have been a Cause. It has been a great blessing to An derson to have had here one of the last of the great reunions of the Con federate soldiers. For the little ones coming on will remember that great parade, their wondering minds will begin the Inquiry which in the end will lead them to a realization of thc grandeur, the sublimity of the cause for which their grandslres* offered their lives-and lb many instances Death claimed his own, the brightest of the gems of the chaplet of the South. lt was a thrilling scene, one which must have struck tn upon every heart with an appeal that will receive a response in a deeper veneration for tho matchless courage, the incompar able patriotism, the unequalled chiv alry of the men of the South who fought to achieve for themselves a nutlon whose shrine of liberty should forever be kept pure. That is what the reunion is worth to Anderson. Our little ones received a lesson whicn countless pages of lore and of story could not thus have Impressed upon them. There at the head of the column floated the silken folds of the flag of the gallant Fourth, the flag under which our own Anderson boys march ed out upon the plains of the First Battle of Manassas. How many splendid sons of noble Anderson moth ers turned to caress with their dying glance the folds of the banner to die for which was coveted honor. Nover let that flag lose Ito message ot love, nor the mute messages which the dy ing lads upon the bosom ot fair Vir ginia would have had lt to bear their loved onea. I*ct their memories ever be kept enshrined in the hearts of our people and let the people collect, pre serve and perpetuate the narrative of their deathless valor, their Im perishable devotion to their country. MIK S WE KT PATHOS OF HKIMONS The pathos of sj reunion of our old soldiers is nowhere so keenly felt as when they join in the parade, and at tempt once more to step with the vigor and spring of their young manhood. One can see the fire tn the eye of tho old fellow when he straightens up. as suming a military carriage and with enthusiasm cries "Hep! 'Hep! Hep!" as he waa wont to do In the '60's. But, try as he may to keep erect, the stoop will return, and the footstep become lagging. Ia aplte of the stimulus at the music he wearies quickly., ead la forred to admit, "Well. I am growing old, and I can't do the things now I used to do." Then there are those empty sleeves or wooden leg mntely telling of suffer ings on the battlefield. What a loss this has beep for the fifty years since they were wounded! Hew mach of life went out when the cannon hall tore away that limb can never he known except by actual experience, and ?ad arc thc nought* when the re flection is forced home that a half century has passed and every year j and day of it is filled with regret and j Brief over the fact-that the afflicted one could not perform u whole man's task. But while these reunions have their ? sadness, they are also filled with! gladuess. liow much the load ls j lightened when '.hese honored soldiers j of a Lost Cause return to their homes, and think of the comrades seen again ! and the joys felt over the evident de sire of everyone to do 'something for their comfort. Years lived over in a 'ew days and the storehouses of their memories refilled with tender exper iences, uud pictures to be looked at and pondered over axain and again. When looking at the joys of these reunions, one is made to reflect over the absence fifty years hence of a suitable reunion or occasion for the young men of today. What are they doing now to unite them in a national cause making necessary a State or National reunion when they are old? Life will be barren on. this point for nearly all of the young men, unless they can meet as Sons of Veterans and recount the sceneB of this reunion and the next and the next. The thin gray line will become extinct and in its place some other muBt appear. To fill the vacancy The Intelligencer hopes the organization of the Sons of Veterans may grow, and let them fight the battles of their fathers for an "age of ease," or let them help some other's father if his has answered the last roll call. Yes, I hese reuIliuUB un- p?iu?wv, but lt is a sweet pathos, making pure the fountain of patriotic emotion. May there be many more. LON'tl AGO. This night in May upon old Charles ton's wall, alone, I muse And recollection eweeps the vistas of the past. I live again the happy, happy hours that cannot lotte. Though long, long years have come and gone, their charm-the witching spell they softly cast. Familiar faces, dear, smile once again. For come has come to the end, And earth no longer holds them; - and all-how changed! One there was who with that fair moonlit scene in complete har mony seemed to blend As if for her sweet radiant presence that setting of the sea and sky and shore some spirit had ar ranged ! In the still moonlight, o'er the nar rowing bay we gently glide Methinks I hear the very voices softly all the old songs singing And hear tho wavelets 'gainst the sea wail lapping with the rising tide And timell the drowsy perfume from the gai dem-..blown o'er the tiny waves to which they're clinging. And then comes through the misty air faint and afar 1 Like fairy fantasies the tinkling topes, now clear, now hushed again. As some deft hand sweeps o'er the strings-the sound of a guitar; And so one listens thrilled with tense delight almost, akin to pain! As then so now the moon is softly shining down And as I lean upon the railing of the Battery wall' And muse upon the beauty and thc story of this proud old town I wonder not that once a heart has spell lt never can but answer to her call.
