"I've been to campmeetings, revivals, love feasts, etc., but they were the happiest set ot men I ever saw on earth," ex claimed an old veteran on ljjs return from the Re-union at Greensboro last week, and he felt what he said, as the old rebel fire sparkled anew In his eyes shaded by Jocks silvered with years. It must have been a grand sight to see 3000 of the bravest boys aeatn tne circle or tne sun, their heads white with the frosts of age,- mingling again in greetings sincere, heart; felt i add child-like in . the ; simple heart throbs of pure cordiality. They met as55 one family, as brothers who had touched el bows tenderly on many a stub born battlefield for the protec tion of home and had sworn to stand shoulder to shoulder till death or victory came; and they , feel toward each other just the same now. Gray with age, grim with vicjsit'udes, on the verge of theartin-g ot the ways of life and-, death, they still the most energetic, happir est, most gentlemanly and par triotic people on earth. .
