For Auld Lang Syne Sevent erate armies, hard fighting, victorious North. id 1 their arms in an honest spirit and went back to their homes to rebuild shattered tortunes and make glad the piaces desolated by grim war. Through all the long years of that after four years of surrendered to the They laid down strife, there was a heroism and a de- | votion tea cause which made the world look on with admiration. In the face of difficulties and beset by privations such as few nations have ever had upon them, the southern troops marched torth to meet their enemies on the battlefield, matched as one to pve. No braver men ever spilled blood | of their | x or rallied around the fic country than these. Back at where wife, mother, sister, heart, whose parting words to hus- band or boy in grey were that Spartan mother said to her boy as she handed him his buckler. There was a pathos in war which has no equal in any other curse. It is always horrible, blighting and merciless. The story of the camp life ot the southern soldier is yet to be written. The world knows little of his sufferings, privations and hun- ger. Unlike hisenemy, he had no wealth at home, no friends abroad. Year by year the supplies grew scanter and scanter, until at last, when the immortal Lee, at Appo- mattox, gave up the unequalled struggle, there was scarce a crust of bread to each tattered, dirty, smoke- begrimed and battle scared hero in his little army. -Worse still, there was but scant store at home for the loved ones. -But the struggle ended: the last reveille was heard; the last roll-call wae answered; the sullen roar ot the cannon, the shrick of the shot and shell, the rattle of the rifles and the hiss ot the swift bullet, died away, and the gentle hum of industry was heard in the land. True it 1s these valient warriors for a cause they believed holy, went back to home only to find shattered fortunes, desolate firesides, Rachels weeping tor their slain dead. But they were not the men to quail in the kour of blackest gloom. They who had met the enemy on so many bloody battlefields, where their com- radee were mown down like grass, were not daunted at the poverty and ruin which stared them ta the face. They went to work, and like true men, made no sign of despon- dency or regret. They conquored in the field, the shop, the office, the coumting room, and in the store, and of their work we mavthis day write, **Peace hath her victories no less re- nowned than war.’”’ But they could not forget the hfe on the held of carnage; they would not if they could. These memories are burned into them as with a hot iron, and they hold them scared, as the badge of a true man. Year after y they have met to meet comrades, tell once more of the sut- ferings but pleasures, of the days ot their soldier life ; to recount the dan- gers passed through; the long mar- ches; the nights of chill and rain; the battles they fought, and- the weary days of pain as they tossed on the hospital bunk. These are things which they talk and laugh and joke. But not ail. Now then the lps quiver, the voice dies into a whisper and the eyes grow suddenly dim. They have spoken the name of a brave comrade who went down with his face to the murmuring in scarce -udible tones, ‘**Tell them at home I died hke a man.’’ To-day these men met in their nual re-union, in this city. How hearty and warm was the hand-shake comrade gave comrade.; how fervent the *‘God bless y: ig home sweet- foe, To them Se a greeting. She asks to be her } guests and to share itality.
