An old soldier nearly so years of
age came up to me on the street the
other day. He pulled from his pocket
several old photographs. One was of
his leader, General Meade, and an
other was of Abraham Lincoln at the
age OF 43. He had a most touching
affection for them and asked him to
sit down and talk with me about them.
He himself was the last of his family
and was living at the Soldiers home
in his town. But he told me in his
simple way of many of the joys of
life and I was enriched by his visit.
