A Soldier's Ghost
St, m
[Original.]
When the civil war broke out I was
but sixteen years old. I wanted to go
out to tight, but my parents succeeded
In preventing iuc. It was not till thy
close of the struggle that I enlisted,
just In time to participate In the last
campaign of the war, and probably (ho
j most terrible? the battles of the Wilder
! uess. I had neither swelled powder nor
seen blood nud was obliged to stand
my ground ainoug-inen who were all,
or nearly all. veterans. It was the
trial of my life.
My initiation on the tiring line was
In withstanding a cavalry charge. A
long line of horsemen, the color of tha
dust they stirred up, emerged from tha
edge of a wood and, making a hasty
alignment, dashed forw rd to the mu
sic of the rebel yell. As soon as they
got wlthiu range we opened tire on
them. They came on and attempted
to ride over us. itight In front of my
company a young otiicer led his men.
He was* a handsome fellow, with long
wavy hair and eye-- black as coals. 1
took deliberate aim at him and shot
him. He saw me do so, and as lie fell
gave me a look that 1 shall never for
get. It seemed to me that ihe featurit
most predominant in it was reproach.
Ilad it been hate or revenge 1 think
I could have borne ii \\ .. i m.v equa
nimity. As it was, it filled me with
remorse. I felt like n murderer. I
dreaded lest the face of the man I had
killed would haunt in til. :'i life.
The charge was repulsed, and wo
stood at rest where we h id received
It. I was obliged to reiualu for an
hour right where I could look at the
dead body of the man 'I had killed.
Then, when we were ordered forward,
I marched over it.
looked straight up at me. and, v. !. ether
It was imagination or not, 1 saw again
that horrible look of repr. h i look
that seemed to say: "At my home there
are loved ones who will loci for me in
vain to return to them. You have pre
vented."
A few days later we were lighting in
the woods? the wilderness it hi-; been
Justly called ? and when the ground
was covered with the dea l . .d dying
a horrible flame aud smoke su ept down
on us, burning the dead nud wounded
together. My regiment had been much
cut up, and 1 had become separated
from It. I was searching for some of
my comrades, hurrying nl >; when,
looking down, I was paralyzed with
horror. There beneath t ie w s the of
ficer I had killed staring at me with
that same look of reproach.
"Are you going to let me be burned
to death here?" he said.
I struggled with two Impulses. One
was to get away from a r< incarnated
ghost that had come back to life to re
proach me for his death, tiie other to
make him some atonement for having
killed him. The latter prevailed, and.
stooping. I raised him and. throwing
him on my shoulder, carried hi:n 1 e
youd the reach of the flames. While
doing so I had no view of hi fa v. and
it was fortunate that I had not, for his
reproachful look would have ren 'en l
me powerless. 1 lowered him upon the
grass near a rivulet and, understand
ing the craving of the wounded for wa
i ter, was starting to get him s uae w!a n,
| glancing at him, I saw that he was
dead.
Ilnd be boon alive?
Under other circumstances I might
have lingered near him from curiosity,
but, as It was. I bad but one tl :re
to get away as soon a-< possible. And
yet he, or, rather, "it" fascinated tne.
I hurried away to a short distance and,
turning, looked back. There was the
. same reproachful look that I had seen
1 before. I did not for a moment at
tribute it to imagination, though I
knew the power of that faculty. I
turned and fled from the corpse ghost,
i or whatever It was. and found the roar
of battle a relief.
i I was present at the final surrender
1 when General I.ee and the remnant of
his army laid down their arms and
peace came again after four years of
fratricidal war. We were ail f,'iad at
the prospect of getting home, but for
me there wns another reason of far
greater moment. The man 1 1 killed
could not again haunt me, at least on
the battlefield. lie might visit me at
home in the dead of night, hut I hoped
that having been a soldier, now that
peace was attained, he would rest
peacefully in his grave.
Our army was drawn up to receive
j the surrender. Perfect silence was
maintained throughout the ranks. The
, men stood waiting. I was in the front
' rank, where I would be *ble to see
! plainly the Confederates who were
! about to march past." Presently 1
heard their tramp, and in a few min
utes the head of their column came
along. There were infantry, artillery
and cavalry. I was not fifty feet from
the line of march. My eyes rested on
the face of a man marching at the head
of a few men who were supposed to
compose a compauy.
He was the man 1 had killed.
My captain, seeing that something
was the matter wfth me. ordered me
to fall out, and I staggered to camp.
My brain was in a whirl. Would this
only man that I knew I had killed
never cease to haunt lue?
The next day I was passing a camp
of Confederates, and among Uieiu 1
saw again my ghost. There were not
exciting scenes to warp my common
6ense, and I stood off and looked at
him. Possibly he might be a real per
son. I approached him and asked if
he had been where I had twice seen
him.
"No." he said, "but I have had two
brothers killed in this campaign, one
In a cavalry charge, the other in the
Wilderness. They were twins."
