PEN.PICTUREs OF THE OLDEN TIME
BY COL. W, |, CLAYTON.

Often in the olden days, and
on down through the years which
have come and gone, | have
passed the grave of an old Ark
ansas soldier resting silently and
quietly bss.la tho public high
way On the Tlpelo and Fulton
roa |. cat in old Itawamba coun-
ty, and about one half mile east
of the cd Clark Taylor place.
For many years, while Baxter
Mcfarland was chancellor of
this district, we went together
generally from Tupelo to the
Chancery Court at Fulton. and
always as we approached the
grave Of this old soldier. the
chancellor would say, Here's
the old soldier, and we give him
honor" and we both invariably
raised our hats, and often spoke
Of the lone grave, the thought
fulness Of the road hands, who
at intervals renewed the enclos-
ure round the grave, and of the
probability or improbability of
his homefolks knowing where he
was resting all these years. At
ter Bragg's army fell back to
Tupelo from Corinth, there be-
ing much sickness in the army,
a brigade Of Gen. Prices COM
mand moved out into the piney
woods, about a fine spring, Just
north of the last resting place of
this old soldier, and there, amid
the lonely pines Of old Itawamba,
far away from the old home in
Arkansas, surrounded only by
his companions in arms, and with
no loving mother, darling wife,
or precious sister to wipe the
death damp from his brow, OF
even to offer a prayer for his
passing soul, he breathed his
last, and was buried by the road
side; and now, and through all
these years, and on down
through the coming ages. the ev-
erlasting means of the pines have
sung, are now singing, and shall
always sing his requiem. Itseems
to us that it was very unfortu-
nate for this old soldiers loveG

luxuriantly, and the wild flowers
bloom as sweetly, and the stars
shine with the same brightness,
and the moon sends down the
same mellow light, and the rain
descends as softly and gently,
and the beautiful snow gives its
covering of white. rs if his, grave
by the wayside were the mauso-
leum Of a prince. And the Great
Father of light and love, watches
his dust as carefully, and with
as much interest, as if a Wash
ington or a Lincoln were buried
there.
Often as | have lain awake on
my bed in the wee sma' hours
of the morning." / have thought
of this old soldiers grave, and
the thought has come into my
mind, Somebody's darling lies
buried there by the roadside"
Then my mind has flown away
to the valleys of Arkansas, and
rested upon an humble cottage
country home upon a little hill
ock, where the wild flowers bloom
and where the surroundings in
dictate that the inmate is poor.
in my minds eye, T. have
Hooked into that little cottage,
and there found a widowed moth
er, who, when first thus saw her
many years ago, was past fifty,
with a kind and motherly look,
tall and noble in bearing, beau
tifully shaped hands, raven black
hair, slightly touched with silver,
a dark, dreamy eye, form some
what stopped with sorrow and
care, with a smile on her face
that was a benediction to the
whole neighborhood. Before the
war came to send and
woe to SO many hearts, | have
imagined that the husband had
passed over the river, and the
soldier boy, whose grave / have
pointed out, was her only sup
port, comfort and hope. How
fondly she chung to him, and
how hopefully she looked up to
him to fill his fathers place as
her stay and support, and to pro
vide a home for himself, where
she too might always be an in
mate, as happy as q widowed
mother might be. But before
her fond hopes had been real

its blast, and, with the true, pa,

cially exhibited by our Southern
women during the civil war, she
gave him her benediction, telling
him to ever sustain the honor of
the standard, even if it should
result in his death and separa-
ton from her for all time to come.
And when he had gone, methinks
after every battle, she might
be seen looking for and asking of
everyone passing her humble
home as to the safety of her dar-
ling boy. And finally, when the
sad news was broken to her that
her soldier boy had died and
been buried in Mississippi soil,
but for the sustaining grace of
the Father above she could not
have survived the shock. And
since then and through all these
years, asI have been passing the
grave of her dead soldier boy,
she has been bowed down with
grief and sorrow for the lost and
the loved. And as | myself, an
old soldier now, have ridden by
her boys last resting place, and
have allowed my mind to medi-
tate upon his probable mother, l
have seen in vision, or dream, or
minds eye picture, this devoted
mother ever and anon, glancing
round, or turning toward the
door of her humble home at the
least noise, or looking over her
glasses at the oncomers, as
though she were still looking for
her Willie to come home again
even after all these years All!
men Of old Itawamba, in whose
bosom this old soldier rests, when
the May and June days come
with their sunshine and their
flowers, and you are meeting at
your village and country grave
yards to strew flowers upon the
same in honor Of brave men and
fair women, will you not send a
committee of two or three at any
rate and cover the old soldiers
grave by the roadside with the
emblems of your love and respect?
And you, women of the south
land, whose delicate fingers are
ever ready to minister when sor-
row comes or pain and anguish
wiring the brow" shall it be said
that the days of flowers shall
come and go again without this
old way-side-soldier-grave being

NEW SHELL NOT EFFECTIVE.
Government Tests Wholesale Anaes-
ilsrSia Scheme,

New York Oct. 2O.-The army ord
nance experts have just concluded a
series of experiments with a new
shell filled with an anaesthetic, which
the inventor believed, was destined to
rob war of a great deal of its -terrors.
According to his plan the enemy was
TO be bombarded with such shells
which, upon explosion, would release
powerful anaesthetic in the form
of gas. He was confident that the
anaesthetic would be powerful enough
TO put whole regiment to sleep and
make II possible to capture the SOL
diers without killing or wounding
them.
The experiments, however, did not
bear out the correctness of the inven-
tors theory. The tests were made
on the Sandy Hook proving grounds
The test resulted in a flat failure. The
gas did not even put a single rabbit
