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.
