In the depth Of the night Louisiana lay sleep.
ing the restless sleep Of the wounded and
wearied. Suddenly afar off a throng of men
seemed approaching, and as they came nearer
of soldiers. Some were, like herself wounded and
! bleeding some ragged. some lmping with bare
feet. The air seemed filled with invisible music,
and slowly, a flag was unfurled, and 10! upon it
were the stars and bars" and over against and
in seeming antagonism, appeared in letters OF
livid light, "The nations law-riSht Is might
and the stars on that flag shone like the stars of
heaven, in pure and serene glory! Poor Louisi-
ana. with sObbing heart, dreamed on! From
amidst the shadows one grew more distinct than
all, and with an expression of ''peace and good
will, thus spoke:
''Do you not know us, Louisiana? was
Robert E. Lee while on earth. From cloud to
cloud the echo bf your sorrowful appeals have
arisen until they have reached US III our far-Off
home, whose works and wonders we wish We
could tell you, but it is not permitted! We have
come back to thank you. If we shed our blood
for you, YOU have written eulogy in your
earth, 80 have now. Let no rash hand mar the
majesty Of law; and the world will know that
when we uEsheathed the sword, it was to save
the South from sorrow and suffering and to main
tain the law. Be tirm-bo wlse-be patient.
ssLive by the law.
Act with the law you live by, without fear,
And because right is right, to follow right,
In scorn Of consequence"
There was the silence of reverence when he
ceased to speak, and then one other spoke:
Bear a message from me, Louisiana; there is
one with you whose voice, while was on earth,
often led on to defend you-whose name was q
battle-cry, and was dear to you as it was to u.s.
That name is Longstreet. Tell him that he is
the only blot on our short-hved national exist
ence. Tell hum that when he would have
led men against you, We were by his
side with the shadow of our flag, and
saved him and made him byore coward and bid
him think OF the Old Virginia days and Of u.s."
As he ceased to speak mist seemed gathering
about the shadowy host the flag was sof'ly
rlred, and Louisiana awoke to tell her dream
''to suffer and be strong" HYPATIA.
