THE WIDOW'S BOYS.
A MEMORIAL DAT STOUT.
Copyright, 1802, by American Press Associa
tion. N Tim Kentucky
Mde of the Ohio
Mver, a little
above Maysvllle,
is n farm long nnd
well known as the
"Stewart place."
Tor forty years
this line farm has
been managed by
tho "Widow Stew
art," who in thh
year of grace 1893
.t11 nil nnttoA
,ay' woman, though In
her seventy-sixth year. Mrs. Stewart her
maiden name was Manning was born in
Ohio, ns her husband had been in Ken
tucky, but only the width of the river sep
arated tbeir birthplaces, which were plain
ly visible the one from tho other, yet her
neighbors, aftrr marriage, spoke of her as
a Mnortbern woman" and of her husband
as a "southern man."
In 1S50 Mrs. Stewart woa left a widow
with two boys, the one, Frank, eleven and
a half years old, tho other, George, just
ten, Still young and energetic, Mrs. Stew
art said to the friends who called to con
dole with her on her bereavement:
"My husband left me above want; hence
forth my life object shall be to train up my
sons that they may be worthy their father,"
and religiously and heroically she kept that
resolution.
Although there was eighteen months' dif
ference in the ages of the boys, they looked
so much alike that strangers believed they
were twins, and the brothers had the same
attachment for each other that distin
guishes children of the same birth.
Frank nnd fJeorge Stewart went to the
same school, played the same games, read
tho same books, tdept In tho same bed and
had the same aspirations, till nt length
they came to resemble each other as much
aa do the reflections of tho stars in the
brooks. Still the mother nnd intimate
friends saw a difference In the undercur
rent of the Stewart boys' characters.
Frank was quite steady, self contained
and slow to auger, and while j et a child he
showed n knowledge of the future's needs
and a desire to help his mother that every
one considered remarkable in one of his
years. Georgo was mentally quicker and
brighter, stronger in his prejudices and
mora outspoken and impulsive In the man
ifestations of hid likes, but even those who
noticed these differences regarded them ns
trivial compared with the many and
stronger points of resemblance.
Soon after her husband's death Mrs.
Stewart adopted the orphaned daughter of
a distant couhin of his. Dora Stewart was
looked upon by the boys as a sister, until
the time came, In 1S61, when, as a beauti
ful girl of eighteen, she began to attract
the attention of the gallant youths along
the river.
Mrs. Stewart had ever treated Dora as a
daughter, and the girl repaid her with a
devoted daughter's love; but a time came
when tho brothers ceased to regard her as
a sister, ami tho widow, with a great
anxiety in her heart, saw that both her
sons had fallen in love with the same fair
object.
THE HOHMKHAN 1RKW REIN UEblDK II IU
AVith characteristic ardor, George showed
bU devotlcn, utwl even spoke to bis mother
about proposing to Dora, bat as sue knew
tbe secret of t rout, nor nrstttorn, sue pre
vailed on fchn to wait for a year r two, or
until hi foster sister bad had time to see
something of the world aud to luerawNs
with maturer judgment tbe trvclltiAtlons of
her own heart.
There'll be trouble between them two
boys souiu dav on account of that idrl,
is what the older and move observant
ueigLbon said, but the trouble came in
another way.
Prank voted for Douglas it was Us first
vut iu I860, and if George had had the
aue right he would have exercised it in
lue same way.
Then came secession and the battles in
lSftl, aud on tho worth bank of the Ohio
men could be seen JrUliug, while every
hour steamers aped up or down the river
erowawi wkb uiue eiaa xoeo. xne coa
ftervatlvee of Keutaeky advised neutrality,
but the governor, while seeming to tall In
whu una idea, was secretly nelpuut the
cause of she Confederacy; and the young
nun, dlsgusud with the cowardly attitude
of the state, shouldereil their rifle and
rode south to join Zollicotfer aud John
aton or made their way across the Ohio
a&d took service under the banner that
existed through the valor of their fore
father. Frank Btewart and his brother, after the
first sad understanding, did not talk much
about the war. Ine one in his quiet ear
Mtftneae, and the other in his paaatonate
ardor, stood on opposite aides of the ever
widening chasm, destined to be deepened
and reddened still mure by the heroic de
votion of each to his aide.

Frank did not ask for an explanation.
He knew tlmt the dreaded hour had come
and that his brother, whom ho loved bet

leave without opening my heart to her and
telling her that I have longed loved her,
but not as a brother."

ueorge btewart threw Ms arms about
his brother's neck, kissed him, then swung
into the saddle and galloped away jn the
direction of the south,
The pouudingof tho Iron hoofs struck
onFrauk'a heart and held him there In
agony till they died out in n faint echo
across tho moonlit hills; then he went
home, fueling that again tho shadow of
death had fallen on its portals.
With o tun appreciation or the futility
of his efforts, Frank tried to cheer his
mother and Dura, nnd with more energy
and care, If that were jiosslble, he gave him
self up to the duties of the farm.
ftow and then, through the underground,
mail, a letter full of love came through
from George, and replies were sent through
tho same medium. At length, it was in
the summer of 1862, there came a day when
the Confederate cavalry wero sweeping
north to the Ohio, making fugitives or re
cruits of all the men capable of beating
arms along their line of march,
"Mother," said Frank, as one evening ho
sat between her nnd Dora out he side piazza
that commanded a splendid view of the
broad liver, "I have always said that I
would never leave you and Dora till the
ConfedeiatM forced ine to fly, and that
then I would take Msrvlee with the Union,
John Morgan's troopvrs are only five hours
away. Tomorrow morning they will water
their horses down there. Our neighbors
know my feelings. You will be safer if I
am away, so i will gn, leaving you to
God."
Mrs. Stewart was not unptepaied for
this, yet her beaitwa pierced avwith n
dagger and she bowed her head fn her
hond.
A aiiM) of loj ulty to his brother had kept
Frank from telling Dora cf hU love, and
up to this moment her prefereni o had been
concealed, but now she tried to rise and
reach out to liiui her restraining arms, but
tottered in tho effort, and with u cry of
agony on ber white lips fell at his feet like
one dead.
The next day Morgan's gray horsemen
were down hytfi river, and Frank Stewart
was tnnaU'red into the service of the Uniun.

"Your sou George, who fell into our

The widow ami Dora knew what that
meant. They hurried to 1-ouisHIle, re

They found the hospital, and the doctor
who had sent the message led them to a
cot on which lay a man bronsed a&d beard'
ed. The hue of death was on the face, and
the quick rise and fall of the broad breast
told that toe end was near.
And George Stewart heard moaning aud
felt the touch of hot lipaou hie cold eneeke,
and opening ids gtaatng eyes ue saw Kneel

and Dora.

The Volunteer has said it, anent the
grand encampment for 1803: 1
Almost every prominent G, A. U. post in
tho country is making arrangements to at
tend the national encampment to bo held
In Washington next September. No city
In America has so many attractions for the
Union vcteraus as Washington. Ii was
the central point from which all the or
ders for putting down the great rebellion
Issued, and many of the most important
battles weie fought within a shortdistance
of the capital. Probably one-half of all
the soldiers enlisted in the Union army
either camped in the vicinity or at some
time passed through its wide streets.
On the C3d day of May, 1865, the Army of
the Potomac, commanded by General
Meade, and the day following the portion
of the western army that had marched
from Atlanta to the sea, commanded by
General Sherman, not less than 150,000

of Washington, Twenty-seven years have
passed since then, but still there arc many
survivors who will make an effort, yea,
sacrifices, to be present nt what is likely
to be tho greatest gathering of tho soldiers
since tho war.

MEMORIAL DAY.
Somo even of the few national holidays
of so young a country as ours bare already
begun to lose their interest for the people,
and their celebration has grown to be more
or le perfunctory. But our latest holi
day, known as Memorial or IWoratlou Day,
promises to appeal more and more to our
compatrioU, to have a wider and deeper
significance us the years go on. Until re
cently it was observed by the north ami
south In a sectional way, thus keeping up
the old sentiments and feelings enkindled
and strengthened by the civil war.
But so rapidly have prejudice and pas
sion cooled that now the former enemies
often join in paying tribute to the honored
dead, ao setttig an example of mutual ap
preciation ' d magnanimity, hardly to
bare been a tected so soon, that has sel
dom been equaled in older govern merit a
To forget fn twenty years the old aolmosi
Ue that had been gathering and strength
ening for seventy yearn is the heat evidence
of the humanity, undaratandiag and sym
pathy engendered by the institutions of a
great duocracy. Our victory over our
selves is fsr more glorious than any we
have gained over our enemies
The Old World abounded in prediction
daring our civil war that whatever its
outcome the north and snntfa would never
be at peace, that with no -Statural bounda
ries, no. walls of reparation, we should be
continually trepasaing on each other's
territory and incurring new cause of dbv
twnsiOB. Tn prediction were plausible
certaittly. But many of those who took
part in the strife, and are still tn middle
age, have seen iU wounds healed and
a&eiant foe oonvrtd Into firm friend
and pottttcal brothec. The union tby
hay cAftttd Yttb JktekJWtftfBft:
fill
m
bly stronger f un the ronfeaerntion rormea
by their forefathers. And at each return
of Memorial Day the bonds ore renewed
with freali sympathy and added esteem.
Our war instead of imbltteriug us has
mollified us, has enabled us to see each
other without hlna in the clear light of
truth. The difference between the section
was caused by slavery, and slavery le for
ever extinct. The political education ol the
north and south had lterndlversc.andtheb
moral Ideas were to an extent the result
thereof. Politically they were both right
and now they have the same moral point
of view, which they con hi not have had be
fore.
Memorial Day Is, in the strictest sense
national, and tho most conducive of all our
holidays to preserve our nationality Its
value nnd its beauty cun scarcely be over
estimated. It recalls the patriotic past,
and assure the patriotic future It la evi
dence of what we have done and promise
of what we would do In like emergency
It is at once an example and a warning, a
triumph and a consecration. The ofteuer
we celebrate the day, the more important
and precious it should be In the next
century it should assume a character al
most sacred. We are yet too near the war
to perceive its vnst proportions and enor
raous consequence. We still lack the per
spectlve for its proper apprehension.
Has any other country such a holiday
Other countries commemorate their victo
ries. But we commemorate victory on
one side and defeat on the other, and be
ing tho same people we regard the defeat
as a victory, since it has led to a consoli
dation of our common heritage and our
common Interests. latterly, too, we com
memorate our reconcilation, which, great
er than any feat of arms or skill of strat
egy, attests tho advance and superiority of
free institutions.
It Is hard to conceive a higher moral
spectacle than the day exhibits. In the
north and in the south, where the Union
ists and Confederates are buried, their
graves are strewn with flowers alike, and
equal honors are paid to their memory
Eulogies are pronounced by northern men
on southern soldiers, nnd by southern men
on northern soldiers. The past, with all
its blood and sacrifice, is forgiven, If not
forgotten, in a grand spirit of generosity
and all embracing patriotism.
The heroes of a generation, passive, if not
already past, praise and revere the heroes
who gave their lives to a cause which was
sacred to them, and which can never arise
again, to Separate and make hostile a
brave, chivalrous and enlightened people
A war that can produce such results must
have been n conscientious war, nnd must
have been conducted on patriotic prin
ciples, It baa no parallel in history. It is
a proof of civilization; it is an indelible
record of a new nnd most encouraging era
which could not havo been reached lefore
the present century.
Wars generally, as has been often said,
leave tho nations engaged in them In far
worse condition than they were at the out
set. Our war was an exception. It was
more than war for an idea; it was for a
conviction, and In tho interest of progress
and morality. It left ns, after the sacri
fice of a million Uvea and incalculable
treasure, infinitely better off In every way
The treasure has Ien repaid fourfold, and
the lives lost have entered into the national
life, enlarging, purifying and elevating it
beyond estimation. Not one of all the men
who died has died in vain, which is always
the best recompense for death, and one
very rarely secured.
With such feeings as these we, of the
north and south, observe and revere the
day. It touches us to our depths and fills
our souls with a mingled sentiment of sor
row and rejoicing sorrow for what has
gone; rejoicing for what has come and will
remain. Tho day can never become com
monplace or indifferent It commemorates
the true birth of our common country and
the apparent perpetuity of its redeemed
existence.
In the next century and tho next it prom
ises to be more Impressive and stimulating
than it Is to us, whoso fathers, brothers and
sons are sleeping in tho graves of a hun
dred battlefields. Our posterity will be
sere to honor it aud Idealize it, as all de
voted men and great deeds are apt to be
Idealized, and to follow the processions
that decorate the mounds amid muffled
drums, with hushed roices and tender
hearts. Memorial Day bids fair to keep
green, through unnumbered years, the
memory of the truly heroic struggles and
sacrifices tlmt havo constituted us Amer
icans of America.

was. A minute later all knew that the

age, holding a white kitten in her arms,
came forward into the light of the fires,
conducted by two soldiers who had told the
guard to pass her in, and who looked an
proud as if they were escorting a queen.
The whole regiment gathered- including
the colonel himself to look nt the child
and hear her tell her story. A very short
story it was, scarcely a paragraph, but
thero was matter enough in it for a full
chapter. She lived near hy wh her father,
