"wAITING FOR TAPS"
Tribute to the Veterans of the Civil
War.

War.
There is not more pathetic sight
than the row of bent, white haired old
men sitting on the veranda of every
national soldiers home, waiting for the
bugle call to the muster of death. They
are not the ones you would have
marked, could you have seen them
five and forty years ago, as the idlers
of the earth. Bright, alert, quick to
step and keen of eye, they we're then
boys you would have chosen to do
things. And they did things-things
that brought them to this complexion
which their neighbors, who looked
the heirs apparent of helpless, hopeless
senility, stayed at home and stole the
millions which make them "distin-
guished townsmen" of today out of the
wornly hardtack and measley pork they
fed these heroes.
Thank God, all of us, that Sheridan's
troopers, turning back the tide of de-
feat at Winchester; Meade's heroes,
standing in the whirlwind of death as
solid as the granite walls of Little
Round Top, and Grants gallants.
Tightening the coils of death about the
neck of treason at Vicksburg, could not
look forward and see themselves as we
see them today. Thank God the future
was hidden from them; else the arm
that bore the starry banner up Look
outs rugged heights, the hand that
flashed the saber "from Atlanta to the
sea-" would have fallen, palsied at the
sickened sight. They won q nation
and redeemed race-and saved for
themselves few years of cold charity
in semi-prison.
And there they sit, helpless, home
less misanthropes, the milk of human
kindness soured by disappointment,
racked with pain, bent and distorted by
disease contracted in swamp or prison
pen, wrecked of them-by vi
cious habits contracted in those four
wild years of unbridled passion. And
others. almost the saddest of all, who
escaped the touch of death and dis
ease, who came home pure in heart and
clean of hand, to find their places filed.
themselves out of beat with the onward
march of progress, and who have trailed
through life in the rear of the process
sion, unable to catch the step. In the
sight of men they are failures, but be.
fore the Most High their lives are the
pascal lamb sacrificed on freedoms
altar
And there they sit and wait-fol
what? Think of it! Put yourself il
their places. Life ended, no cheer, nc
child's prattle in their ears, no love il
their lives, no hope, no future, n,
present only a dim, shadowy past, al
ready forgotten by half the world.
Waiting only for their summons
