On the day OF the celebration IN
commemoration of the Confederate dead,
in Charleston, after the ceremonies had
been performed and the crowd dispersed,
a respectable looking colored woman was
seen to linger behind, sit down upon a
grave, bury her face in her hands and
weep bitterly. A gentleman observing
her, became very much interested. With
native kindliness of manner he addressed
her and inquired the cause Of her grief
Won by his sympathizing tone, she un-
burthened her heart to him in alternate
words and sobs. The grave on which
she sat was that of her former young
master, who had been killed in battle du-
ring the late war. He had been her
charge in his infancy and boyhood, and
in his manhood he was her pride and her
delight. His deeds of gallant daring had
been her boast, and it was the wish dear
est to her heart to see him return victori-
GUS and honored to the home which he
had fought to protect. Heaven had de-
creed otherwise and now while con-
quered people did honor to the memory
of their defenders, she, poor, helpless,
faithful woman, wept over the grave OF
him to whom she had looked for protec-
ton and support in the days of her age
and infrmity.
