A Memorial Day incident.

Bowed with the weight Of many years.
With threbbing breast and falling tears,
A veteran leans Ger the grave
or him, who once his life did save.
Twas on Fort Hudson bloody field,
Where Negro troops knew not to yield
Whera =" herge" was the cry with
every breath,
Though every movement LED to death'
The captain felt his hesrt blood thrill.
AS his black heroes climbed the bill;
And with all thoughts Of safety gone,
Full In the front, he led them on
Just as they gave the "Rally yell"
Quick as flash, his sergeant, strong,
Wheeled, and flung him amid his
threng.
Where he was, in his captains stead,
The shell burst; and he. there fell dead.
The captain 'mong the Rany dead
Sought where his heroic sergeant bled.
In time, he had the brave man laid
Where he could honor, aye, his shade,
And with his own hands tend the gray e
OF that black WsrIier, faithful brave.
With choicest flowers to be found,
In garden or la woods around,
His children strsw this honored gfsve,
Which h-Ids brave man once slave.
As the veteran turns the leaves,
His family this jast thought reosives,
"a race with Ensn like this to die,
No man should cen Its rights deny"
