CONFEDERATE REl'KIOX AT NASH
TILLE DRAMS HIM OUT,
OLD VETERANS MEET AND WEEP.
i
Hal Tears of Sorrow, But Canned By the
lUM-alllng of Old Meroolea of.
, the Itattlefleld.
; r-.- . ; - .
My good, happy, genial friend,
" : Charley Laue, . delivered a most en
..." joyable lecture on the analysis of
; laughter, or ."AVby Co We Laugh."
- Nov, if he -will analyze our tears and
tell us -why do we weep, ve will the
better understand another one of the
. Mysteries of our emotional humanity.
"Why does a man weep when there is
lie sorrow in his heart especially an
old man a veteran? If it were not
, pathetio it would be funny to see the
. tears in these old soldiers1 eyes as
they met and marched and listened to
the martial mnsio or Bat together un
der the sound of words thut came
from the lips of old men, eloquent
old comrades in arms words that
; .awakened soul-stirring memories, and
quickened into life the hard but heroio
' leceues that were living facts a third of
a century ago.- How hard they look
these old xoldiers hard in face and
feature but soft in heart. It seems
to me I can pick them out from com
mon people. Every wrinkle tells of
service, of suffering and disappoint
ment. The bronze on their furrowed
. faces has never yet been bleached, and
. their walk is still a true but tired
i march. Yes, I can piok them out all
round mo. Look at old Captain
.Neal, and Major Foute, and McCand
Iess, and Durham, and Mountcastle.
They can't hnrry now. Their quick
- step has gone. They marched and
: counter-marched, they advanced and
retreated, they charged and double
quicked for four long years, until the
epring of their instep was worn down
.'ton plene with heel and toe, and now
it is' a fact that the hollow of the foot
roahes a hole in tie ground.
But why should an old man weep?
I, remember that when .Ben Hills
. Btatue was uncovered and the great
speeches were over and queenly M in
nie Davis was brought forward on the
platform and presented to us as the
-, daughter of the confederacy by Gener
al Gordon, acclamations rent the air
aud reached the heavens and made the
welkin ring. . Then everybody cried
except those wbo had no feeling no
. emotion no patriotism. Old General
Black was leaning heavily upon me
and I felt the quiver of his massive
frame. He leaned more heavily and I
. turned quickly to took into his face
nd saw the tears coursing down as
freely as if ho were a boy. As I brush-
- ed my own away I Buid: "What is the
matter, General? Do you want some
"water? Are you abont to faint?"
"Oh, no no," said he, "just let me
alone and hold me np a little. I am
v feeling good. Thank God for His
meroies. I feel like old Nicodemua
' when he said, 'Now let me die since I
have seen thy salvation.' "
The medical books tell us that tears
are contagious. We all know that and
Lave experienced it, but ordinarily our
tears come from our own emotions and
. not from another's. I suppose that
there were probably ten thousand
bona tide veterans at Nashville, and
. -while under the influence of the occa
sion, the surroundings, the memories
of the past and the thoughts that
breathed and the Vords that burned.
. they all shed tears or felt like it.
What a spectacle for northern eyes.
What a commentary on northern in-
' tolerances. How Iohr will it take to
eradicate onr love for the lost cause or
our admiration for its heroes. Like
father, like son and daughter, and it
f is already trant-niitted adown the lina
from generation to generation and in
a few years more these reunions will
- be baptized with another name and be
called the sons of the confederate vet
erans. I said that probably there
were ten thousand reii bona fide eon-
' federate veterans gathered at Nash
ville, for it is a fact that our veterans
are swiftly passing away. There are
-,t3. not 100,000 now alive not more than
. one in seven of all who served. There
might have been more, but unpen'
-aioned soldiers -don't live forever;
neither do they multiply as the years
roll on.
"Time cuts down all
Both great and small." '
Except a pensioned soldier.
No. For the peace and brotherhood
' of all our people it would have been
far better for the north to have said
thirty years ago: "Now let us be brethren.-
- Yon thought you were right and
mavbe you were. You fought a good
licht And shall have your share of all
this pension money." If Lincoln had
lived be would have said so and stood
on that platform.
Waiter Scott says: Woe awaits
country when she sees the tears of
. bearded men." and so it would be bet
ter to conciliate our people with kind
ness rather than to alienate them with
abuse and unfriendly legislation. See
what a martyr and a hero our people
have made of Sam Davis, the coble
boy who held his honor dearer than
hi life. And this reminds me to say
' that I have a letter, s good letter, from
II. S. Halbert, of Crawford, Miss.,
. who was an army comrade of Calvin
Crozier, the lexas soldier who was
rut to death by order of Colonel
Trowbridge at Newberry, S. C, for
ref anting an insult given a lady by a
negro soldiev. I wrote of this in a former
letter and of the monument the good
people of Newberry had erected to his
memory. The $ro was bu slightly
wounded and in the confusion in the j
car another man was arrested for the
deed. When Crozier learned this he
gave himself up aud was shot at sun
rise. Mr. Halue. t had never heard of
Cromer's fate until he read it in The
Constitution and he now begs for more
infot mation concerning him and his sad
fate. Will some one who knows pleaHO
write to him. He says that Crozier was
a noble man end a gallant soldier and
belonged to Goode's battery organized
at Dallas, Tex. Bam Davis and Calvin
Crozier were but two. We had many
more just like them, bul they were not
o tried.
But speaking of tears and war the
most touching lines ever written were
by Laughorne, who died more than
one hundred years ago:
Cold on Canadian hills or Mlndcn's plnln,
That weeping mother mourned her husband
slain:
Bent o'er her babe, ber eye dissolved In
dew
The big drops mingling with the milk be
drew.
What a sad presage of his future years
The child of misery baptized In tears."
What could be more sweetly, sadly
pitiful. No wonder that Burns shed
tears when he looked at the print mai
had been made of the scene. Why has
not some great artist taken the hint
and painted it to the life the mother
seeking her dead husband among the
slain on a battlefield and weeping over
her child as he nursed from ber breast
"the big drops mingling with the
milk he drew." It is enough to make
an angel weep, n is enougn to em
phasize General Sherman's pitiless re
mark that
"War is hell."
The poet Bogers said the prettiest
thing about a tear. He wanted to find
chemist who could crystalize one so
that he could wear it as a gem next to
his heart for a talisman. Shakespeare
calls the tears of an old man "honor
able dew that silvers down thy cheeks, A
and another poet describes man as "a
pendulum betwixt a smile and a tear."
So we will let these old soldiers weep
if they wish to. It will do them good,
for they are not tears of sorrow nor
grief. They are the welling up and
overflow vi sacred memories. It is like
unto a man after years and years of wan
dering going back to the home of his
youth and greeting his kindred ana
his schoolmates and communing to
gether about the joys and sorrows of
the olden time. These veterans all
shared a common peril and it is bat nat
ural that they should love to get togeth
er and talk of it. So let them meet and
talk and weep if they feel like it, and
curses be upon the heartless set who
scoff at it ami say, oh, let tue old war
go we are tired of it. Bin Aep, in
