THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 31, 1S.
; By -Mary Wingiwva Battton.
IK it western sky the sun was dying
' away In a . great . bias of radiant
glory. Not a discordant sound
' marred the solemn stillness of the
veiling air. Not far oft could .., b
' "heard th ' murmur of th titer as it
flowed evenly along, Its gentl cadence
a soothing as the music of som dls
tant cathedral chime. '
'The air, warjh and' balmy . on 7tbl
Aprir venlng, was laden with the per-i
" f utae of blossoming fruit trees. Tiny
i shoots of green were beginning to take
' the place f7 falling buds, serving to
render the srene even1 more beautiful.
All, taken together, but a fitting setting
. to some sublime religious ceremony.
Yet.over this stUl entrancing pros
peet; there; hung a pall of gloom. On
every side, could be seen some evidence
' of the devastation which had passed
over this once lovely plantation, the
how place of, the neighborhood.
Sorrowfully tender must hava been
' the thoughts passing through the mind
," of a young, man .who stood leaning
against the trunk of a gnarled old ap
ple tree, for as he gated from the sur
' tounding landscape to a mound of newly
;. dug tarth whion lay airtost at his feet
he said half aloud: V -..,
"Dr eld Hlverslee! - Poor Id RIv
erslee!" and sighed wearily.
But suddenly the young man started
and stepped back out of sight He was
in the private burial lot of the Carews,
and along the bush of the evening air
- there came to his ears the sound of a
- mourning chant. .. ,' . ". e -
Nearer and nearer grew the sound of
" the voices, and presently ther cam in
, sight a white haired, black-robed olergyt
' man, followed by a long line of ne
, groes. six of these bore aloft upon
their shoulders a black covered coffin,
and as they lowered It the folds of a
Confederate flag spread themselves to
- . the breeze. - .. .
. At the same time they revealed In the
rear the forms of two ladles and a lit
tle girl, the latter of whom clung in
convulsive sobs to the band of on of
the women. .--
Surrounding the ladle and eoffln and
straggling along; behind were negroes of
all ages. Slaves no longer, since but a
few weeks - since Richmond bad been
- evacuated and at Appomattox Court
House the great climax consummated.
- - This they,- these faithful friends, seemed
neither to ears about, now, or perhaps
. to understand,, however. For was not
their-beloved young mastei-tylng here
dead, and their, idolising mistress borne
down with wo on account of ttt
As they had marched to the strain of
a "doleful dirge, so now, these children
of nature continued to Improvise and
- chant, with, all the weird solemnity of
' their race, led by an aged man, aa
leader In their religious observances.
And as they chanted and wept, the
. women waved In. their hands branches
of the blossoming; fruit trees, torn from
the parent stem as they had passed
. through the orchard on their way to the
grave.' . -.
At the end of each verse they chanted,
t- rather than sang, a garrowful" refrains
"Cut down in de flowaij ob his youf,
, Jieto' de bloss'm rlp'n Inteh fruit
But de Ixrd's prom'ses Is made in trufe,
f And we'll bow ten bis almighty wllL'
: . The clergyman raised his hand, and
T the refrain was taken up, softly, and
nweetiy, and then there was . solemn
f huxh, ,; ''-' ' --'.,- a.
"1 am the resurrection and the life,"
f began the voioe of the aged priest, and
- nmid thn low sobs pf black and white
voices mingled in Common ; grief th
service for the dead was completed.'. -l"
As the, body of their young master
mi consigned to the grave, ones more
the negroes took up their - peculiar '
chant But so singular is the power
. of musical expression In ' their race,
the words seemed now to express a
Dote of triumph, rather than the wo
formerly conveyed 4t the- earo -of th .
"listcner. --v - i-.-
As the men filled In the earth, the
' v -women marched around the grave, each '
one throwing in som token cf affeo
' tion in the shape of the blossom which
; they had borne in . their , bands, while
they still softly chanted.
"Cut down in d flowah ob his youf:
' Then, at last, when the last spadeful
of earth was placed upon the mound,
lh women and children, covered it with ..
. these same - fragrant blossoms, until :
not a clod of the soil was visible, after
which they slowly filed off to their
cabins. . , 1
All this time Mrs.LCarew had been
silently, sadly leaning ontbe arm of
her friend with ber little daughter'
band still clasped in hers.
As the negroes filed away aha turned
to .Mrs. Burke, and said in a grieved
tone: . :- - '-; "
. ! had hoped to see victor Here."
"Victor." called his mother. And
from behind a monument the young
man first introduced to these pages,
came slowly forward.
Holding "out both hands to Mrs.
Carew he endeavored to speak, ut his
voice was inaudible. Mrs. Canew for
a moment shrank back. Victory Burke
was in the uniform of an officer of the
federal army. Her own dear son had
Just been buried In the- Confederate
gray.
Understanding the look of pain on
her face, Victor gently took her hands
in his. and said entreatingly:
"I. too, loved him, dear Mrs. Carew.
Try to forget thi,": looking down at
hi a uniform as he spoke. ;
Too heart-broken to cherish' resent
ment now. Mrs. Carew yielded to the
appealing look and words and-sobbed
out some of her grief on the shoulder
of this companion nf her dear son'g
youth and early manhood. :
It was long before either could en
tlrely control voice or looks. But th
?oung man realised how tnucn better ,
or Mrs. Carew It would be If he eould
Induce her to turn her thought In an
other direction, and he aaked quietly
after "Queenls. . .
"QueenieT Why she was here a mo
ment ago," said Mrs. Carew.
But ueenl had left the aide of her
mother and when they turned to look
for hr found her with her face bidden
in the frock f" her nurse, who- stood
not far off, waiting the pleasure of the
ladles. . . -
The little girl lifted a flushed, tear
stained face when she was called, and
In obedience to her mother's gesture
came reluctantly forward.
"Queenle, dear, don't yo know this
gentleman t" said Mrs. Carew.
But Queenle- leaned against net
mother now In almost the same atti
tude In which she had been when cal'ed ?.
from the eld of Mammy Phyllis- She
made no reply to the question asked
her, and Mrs. Carew repeated it . Still
