SERGEANT PUNK EFT.
BY Chaplain Lowering.

A man of the rank and file, Il brave
soldier and hero, was Thomas Plunkett
ii Yankee soldier, made out of the best
fighting stock in the world. Sergt. VIII
liam Jasper Of revolutionary fame WAS
an Irishman Sergt. Thomas plunkett,
the armles5 hero OF Fredericksburg, was
an lrishman. Let us do justice to the
race. Eleven OF the siEners of the Decla-
ration of independence were Irishmen, or
of Irish descent and the history of our
civil war can never be written without
honoring scores Of Irish soldiers so worth
lily represented by Gen. Phil. Sheridan
and Sergt Tom Plunkett. All heroes
need some opportunity to declare them
selves. 1t came to Plunkett in the strain
and stress of fearful conflict. The scene
is better imagined than described. The
old soldier who has looked on moving
troops, seen the smoke and heard the
voice of war, who has crept through the
covered way, stood III the trench, lain in
the rifle pit, charged with Il Union hur-
rah against Il rebel ycll-he can see the
coffee colored RappahNnnocil and the un-
wlelily pOnlOOn boats, the mud plains

You'd. He can tell what it means to adj
vance through Il storm of fire and brave
the hot WRATH Of battle. Tom l'lunkett
did that. He saw the cOlOrS fall. He
rushed forward and seized them. He held
them aloft and dashed forward. The
leaden hail Kissed through the air, the
flag is torn, the stat1 is struck but Tom is
safe. Then shell bursts over him,
His good right arm is well nigh torn from
the socket. His left hand seizes the fall
ing flag. Another blow strikes him on the
breast, but glancing, breaks the left arm

lie totterS, he falls, and the flag enwreaths
him in its folds, and bears upon it the
crism of the hero's blood even to this day.
That was the soldier boys opportunity
Well did he accept and use it for that
grand cause in which, comrades of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, you know
rest the hope of the republic-one country
and one flag.
The years have passed. With patience,
with modesty, with generous regard for
others, with sunny hearted cheerfulneSS
he endured his lot. Very rarely did
ever hear him complain very often did
hear him speak with sympathy for others
| His courage lasted longer than his
strength. The day after he gave up his
work he sent for me. For many months
! from time to time, he had invited serious
talk, knowing his days were numbered
Now visited him day after day, until
saw him for the last time ON the after
noon before the early morning when 1t

hold on to their stolen power by force

sumo however that reformers of

something to justify their esthetical con-
