Loved for His lnfirmIty.

A case where bodily and not moral weakness brought happiness was that of Sergt. Thomas Plunkett of the Twenty-frst Massachusetts regiment during the Civil war. In charge at Fredericksburg the color bearer was among the first to fall. Seizing the flag Sergeant Plunkett bore it almost oyer the ramparts, where he fell with both arms shot away.
 When the news was carried to his sweetheart, so the story goes, she pro- tested that she could never marry him. "Then I'll be proud to-" de clared her sister. They were married as soon as he recovered. He was voted medal by congress and made a messenger in the Massachusetts state house, where he served for many years.
