HISTORY OF THE 153D REGT.
The Editor's Farewell to His Comrades of the 153d Regiment. My Comrades :
"You had such weaknesses as connect you with humanity ; and such virtues as will rank you among heroes."
How appropriate that, we, who are spared should bear our deceased comrades to their graves.
The early morning reveille reminded you that it was time to rise ; it sounded at break of day to inform the sentinels to cease challenging. Now began the work of the day, the trained step of battalion drill; the sun-set dress parade; the inspiring music of band and drum corps has passed away ; the war is over; the gates of Janus are closed, and the arch of triumph spans the roadway and the army has passed into the temple of Peace. "Liberty has conquered slavery, and peace war."
May we long sit in the shade of the trees we planted, and enjoy the fruits of our toil. May the shadows of the evening of our lives be filled with music, and the "Taps" of our last evening call us to the repose so nobly earned, and at the re- veille of the resurrection morning hear the command of the Captain of our salvation saying: "Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you."
So long as the glorious Flag under which we fought waves over our reunited country will each recurring spring see fresh laurels laid on the graves of our country's dead.
Safe in thy hiding silent tomb Keep to " That Day " thy precious trust
And on the Resurrection Morn Yield to new Life thy sacred dust.
