"What is it?"
"Well, sub, does you think theirs

Proudly we sailed the seas. Strange
ly enough my young masters chosen
friend on the vessel was Carroll Poin
dexter, son of the confederate colonel
who once wore me for awhile. The son
of the man in gray was the bosom friend
of the son of the man in blue, both 10y
ally serving under the old flag, united
heart and soul against its foes. 1t
pleased me to note their friendship as
the sunny symbol following the storm

slow. Those dark spots upon my
polished blade are specters of blood,
shades of the precious drops which, in
more stirring days, were the red seals
of courage, signs manual of heroes,
testifying to future generations their
knowledge of heroic deeds. In the days
of the Crusades, when mailed knights
went forth to battle for the cross, the
sword handle was held upright and by
that they swore to heroic vows. There
fore when they ended with the words
~'said by the sword" it meant the I'M
vanished truth. My handle, too, is a
cross. Said by the sword" now as
then means that testify truly. Mem
bers of the sword family are long lived,
maintaining their keenness and elias
ITCHY to old age. There are hundreds of
years of service in me yet, and I may
flash in the forefront of many gallant
charge when the sons and daughters of
this generation have turned to dust. l
flashed bravely in behalf of the old flag in
the civil war. How much worthier was
the oft-quoted sword of Bunker Hill
than the sword of Gettysburg and APP
pomattoX?
1 was presented to Capt. Carroll, a
young volunteer, in 1861. Ayoung lady
with eyes brighter than my flashing
blade or the jewels upon my hilt made
the presentation in behalf of the ladies,
and saw at once by the way in which
the captain regarded her that he
thought more of the gift because of the
giver. She was petite, mere morsel
of humanity, but as dainty morsel as
ever made a mark for Cupid's busy
bow. Small in quantity, first-class in
quality, with heart of the largest
size in body of the smallest, her lumin-
Gus soul flashed in majestic courage
through love-lit eyes, and she was every
inch a model Of the devoted patriot
women of 1861 and 1865.
Off we went to the war. 1t was not
a junket nor yet pleasure excursion.
In few months the gallant ranks were
thinned, empty sleeves appeared in
many parts of the line, boyish faces be-
came bronzed, and boyish spirits rip
ened in the sultry atmosphere of con-
flict into the strong, stern, sturdy
hearts of veterans tried and true. /
flashed ever we'll toward the front, and
many time that flash leaping out in
the red flame of conflict became the
beacon which led our boys to victory.
In a year led q regiment and gloried
in the achievements Of him whose
chosen comrade ! was. On went the
union soldiers, their flag sometimes
waving proudly in victory, sometimes
trailing in temporary defeat, but ever
reappearing through the carnage to
aead the hosts of patriots toward the
inevitable end.

WHGAAM long rem m
-s31TXM bered,
iUINhR That saw on the
IlllEtlW cars one day,
llEQlM AS the train was fly
w ing southwark,
In the latter part of May.
Ut was only two aged women
Who met by chance that day.
One had eyes of loveliest blue.
The other, the sweetest gray.
T'Where go your" said the blue-eyed one
To her with the eyes of gray.
's'I'm going to visit my husbands grave,
In the southland far away
s'Was he a soldier?" the blue-eyed asked,
AS she gazed in the eyes of gray;
And half unconsciously she grasped
Her hand in loving way.
The eyes of gray lit up with pride;
Eyes, he was soldier true:
He fell at the battle of Shiloh
"Oh! there's where mine FELL too"
And then they clasped each other and wept,
The eyes of blue and gray
Mingled their flood of sympathy
AS the train sped on it's way.
-"What uniform did your soldier wear?"
my soldier wore the blue"
-"Ah," said the other, mine wore the gray"
mo matter, they both were true"
Eyes, they were true, our loved and lost,
True till their dying day;
And it matters not what they were on earth,
They are clothed in white to-day"
And when we came to the station,
very small town by the way,
The men all stood bareheaded
AS the two went on their way.
They walked up the street together,
Like children hand in hand,
Out on the country highway
Where the old church used to stand.
And on and on till they reached the place
Where their soldiers brave were laid
Then they kissed and wept DER each grave
alike,
And together knelt down and prayed;
Then each told the other about the past,
How they lived with their children dear,
And agreed, while God would spare their
lives,
To meet there once year.
And then they walked back to the station,
These soldiers widows in tears,
Helped by each others sympathy,
To bear their burden of years,
Back to the west they travelled
To their children, kind and true;
sOne with eyes of the sweetest gray,
The other, the loveliest blue.
