It was a happy summer, but it closed sadly. Clemens was called to Keokuk in August, to his mother's bedside. A few weeks later came the end, and Jane Clemens had closed her long and useful life. She was in her eighty-eighth year. A little later, at Elmira, followed the death of Mrs. Clemens's mother, a sweet and gentle woman. Gillette was originally a Hartford boy.
Are you acquainted with him? Where is he now, pray?" "Fred is on the staff with General Vandeleur, and is now in Belgium." "Indeed!" said I, every moment increasing my surprise at some new piece of intelligence. "And the Eighty-eighth?" said I, recurring to my old friends in that regiment.
His useful life came to an end in August, 1883, when he was in his eighty-eighth year. "Lo! in that house of misery A lady with a lamp I see Pass through the glimmering gloom, And flit from room to room."
When it was the Five Hundred and Eighty-eighth Night, She said, It hath reached me, O auspicious King, that the young man, when he had squandered all the money his father had left him and naught thereof remained to him, betook himself to selling his slaves and handmaids, lands and houses and spent the proceeds on like wise, till he was reduced to beggary and must needs labour for his living.
See now, here it is: The night was murthering dark; you could not see a stim." "Not see a a what?" "A stim, bad luck to you; don't you know English? Hand me the hot water. Have you that down yet?" "Yes. Pray proceed." "The Fifth Division was orthered up, bekase they were fighting chaps; the Eighty-eighth was among them; the Rangers Oh, upon my soul, we must drink the Rangers!
But you must change your coat. The gallant Eighty-eighth will never mistake their countryman's voice. But your uniform would be devilish likely to get you a bayonet through it; so come back with me, and we'll make you a Ranger in no time." "I can give your friend a cap." "And I," said the other, "a brandy flask, which, after all, is not the worst part of a storming equipage."
"Oh, the Eighty-eighth are at Gibraltar, or somewhere in the Mediterranean; at least, I know they are not near enough to open the present campaign with us. But if you'd like to hear any more news, you must come over to Borrisokane; we stop there to-night." "Then I'll certainly do so." "Come at six then, and dine with us." "Agreed," said I; "and now, good-morning."
What a fine subject for a picture the group would have made! with the great volcanic summit of the mountain behind, the noble romantic city in the near distance, and the animated intelligent countenaces of the demonstrators, with the venerable Pillans eagerly listening for the Professor was then in his eighty-eighth year.
No other attacks were made on us to the east of the railroad for the rest of the afternoon, and just before dark I was directed to withdraw and take up a position along the west side of the Nashville pike, on the extreme right of our new line, where Roberts's brigade and the Seventy-third and Eighty-eighth Illinois had already been placed by McCook.
