Thirty-seven years ago to a day the
soldiers of Virginia were marching out
to war, and there are many living in
Richmond who recall those stirring times.
"Ah, then and there was hurrying to and
fro,
And gathering tears and tremblings OF
distress;
And cheeks of pale. that but an hour ago,
Blushed at the praise of their own love-
illness.
And there were partings. such as press
The life from out young hearts,
And choking signs that neer might be re-
peated-
Who could guess II e'er should meet
again those mutual eyes?'
But as bitter as the anguish was no
one realized what a terrible struggle was
on and how many long and weary years
it would be before it would end. There
was no prophet in Richmond TO foretell
that before the end should come our own
fair city would be overrun by the enemy
and laid waste by fire and sword.
Again a regiment Of Virginia soldiers is
marching forth to the war. But instead
Of that precious Old uniform of gray the
boys are wearing the blue and are march,
ing under the Stars and Stripes. It is not
this time a battle Of brother against
brother. but the soldiers Of the nation are
united against foreign foe.
God bless and protect those virginia
boys. and bring them back in health and
vlgor ana triumph TO their loved ones.
