UNDER THE FLAG.
1 Pnthctlo nnd SlKnlflcnnt Scene la
the Wnr Time of UB Year * AK .
I have seen the American flag In many
ountrlea and circumstances , nys a writer
In Youth's Companion. I have seen It float-
ng at the head of a great war squadron. I
nee saw It carried , ragged and wet with
ilood , but triumphant , from a battlefield
ch was strewn with the corpses of men
vho bad died to defend it. Iut nowhere
as It seemed to mo more touching and
tupresslvcly used than In a homely little
ceno of which I happened to bo a witness
urlng the civil war.
In August , 1863 , I was going from West
, 'lrglnla to Philadelphia through Ponnsyl-
anla. The southbound trains that summer
rere heavily loaded with troops and pro-
Islons tor the army , but going back they
arried few passenger * .
At Plttaburg , when the train rolled Into
.he station , a great , silent crowd waited
'or ' It. A splendid funeral car stood In the
lackground surrounded by troops and the
treet was filled by a long line of closed
carriages. A volunteer officer In the union
army , who had been a man of Influence and
high position In PIttsburg , had been killed
a the last battle and now his native city
mourned him and did him honor.
The coffin , rich In decorations and cov-
rcd with flowers , was reverently borna
'roni ' the car. The troops presented -arms ;
, ho standards , draped with black , were low-
red and the air was filled with the solemn
muslo of funeral marches.
After a short delay the train rolled on.
La to that afternoon It stopped at a llttlo
tatlon among the Allcghany mountains.
The station house was but a rough shed ; a
pig was rooting under the platform. Jn the
background was a squalid cabin In a potato . il
patch. The whole landscape spoke of barrenness - J
ness and holpUa poverty. [ j |
Standing on the platform was a woman ,
a poor country girl. She wore an old ,
patched gown that clung limply to her thin
body and a calico aunbonnet , which eho
had thrown back that she might better
watch the train. A llttte barefooted boy
clung to her , but she did not heed him.
icr face was pinched and bloodless. She-
leaned forward , staring with "childish , di
lated eyes Into each car a it passed.
There was a grating sound as the train
men dragged a rough pine box from the
freight car and laid It upon the pfatform.
The woman went up to It , and , without a
word or a tear , dropped down and clasped
her arms about it. There was not a man
on the train who did not uncover his head ,
but she saw nothing of the many etrangc ,
pitying eyes Jlxcd upon her.
Her boy came to her , crying : "Where la
pap.i ? You said ho would come. "
She did not hear or answer , only claepd
the box closer.
The tragedy was GO cqualld , so hopeless ,
that the onlookers saw only its cruelty.
Why should tbla poor farm boy bo struck
down and this helpless wife and her child ,
be left to struggle and to auffer ? Why
need there be this waste of human life ?
Just then a man rau out ot the elation
carrying a tattered old flag and spread it
proudly over the box.
And at the touch of it , it seemed to us
who watched as If our country laid her
baud on the poor coffin and said :
"This Is my son. Ho died for me. I'ay
reverence to him. "
The train steamed slowly away. The
setting eun threw Its low light over the
lonely group on the platform the woman
and her chird and her dead but the flag *
ennobled this poor martyrdom. Never In the
triumphs of peace or fury of battle did _ It
express with more emphasis the majesty
of our country than when It claimed the
poor volunteer as Us son , one ot the heroej
to bo honored for all time.
