L1NCoLN's TALL SOLDIER DEAD.
New York Sun.


So much has been said of late in connection with
the Barnard statue concerning the personal appear
ance and characteristics of Abraham Lincoln that
the following article, published in the Reading Pa
Eagle on Dec. 81, announcing the death of Mahlol
Shaaber, Lincoln Tall Soldier Boy'' may be OF
some interest:
During his experience as soldier Mr.. Shaabel
attracted much attention owing to his youth and
unusual heighth. He met President Lincoln who
was tall man himself, in Washington. The pres
dent wanted the young soldier to dine with him
but he proved to bashful to remain. Lincoln gave
him special pass which was afterwards lost, and
in saying goodby embraced him in parting and said

Mr.. Shaaber was very fond Of describing this
incident. This at the outbreak of the Civil war

that prayers were continually ascending to Heaven.
"A gray-haired woman would pass with her boys
arm thrown lightly across her shoulders, while in
her eyes was the light of the supreme sacrifice;
younger women walked hand In hand with their
sweethearts or husbands-their men; fathers did
disdain look into the faces of their with
tear-dimmed eyes. They were all saying wordless
prayers for our safety.
"Men, we are going to do our duty-our whole
duty. We are going to make those tears of sacri-
flee tears Of pride. We going the whole way,
even though il leads to the end of the long trail"
There was a moments sAence, and then the
man on the stage said: 81 want all the officers of
this regiment up here beside me-" and up clambered
dozen more splendid young chaps. Then with
his head bowed he asked the chaplain to say a
prayer. The solemn words evidently found echo in
every heart, and little later every man in the
room sang with all his soul: "My Country, 'Tis of
Thee" and he thought of his country, his home the
loved ones he was leaving behind.
Up up aseended the great melody of masculine
voices:
Long may our land be bright
With freedoms holy light
Protect with thy might
Great Cod our King"
A moments silence and then Dismissed" rang
out in sharp command. The men hesitated just
the fraction of second and young voice f.om
the back shouted the question:
whats the matter with the coloneis"
Like cannon's came back the answer:
Hes all right!"
Who's all right?"
"The colonel"
And the tramp of marching feet proclaimed the
fact that America was sending another regiment of
her fighting its way to oppose might with
right
