Description

Excerpt from Memoir of Captain Nathan Hale But a field was now Opening wherein that devotion was to be tried. The sound of war had gone up from the plains of Lexmgton, and the echo rang like a wakening summons through the length and breadth of the land. 't was the dis tant roar of the fast coming storm. The blow had fallen, the sword had been drawn and reddened, and there was no longer hope of peace or reconciliation. The 'calm tempered, yet strong hearted New Englanders, saw the threatening and made ready to meet it like men. -the face of society was in a moment changed. The farmer left his plough in the fur row, the mechanic dropped the utensil of his craft from his hand even the clergyman, in some cases, closed the sacred book on his pulpit desk, and dismissed his startled hearers and one and all harnessed them for the fight, and hurried away to the scene of conflict. Then went forth the old, the middle aged, and the young; their hearts beat high, and swelled with one enthusiasm; they all felt young. Every town and village, almost every private dwelling, resounded with the clank of arms, and the bustle of preparation. The ways were seen crowded with moving masses, pressing and pouring onward to breast the front of danger. Then, was shown the might of woman, as well as the valor of man - of woman, so tender in her gentleness and her love, yet so, strong in the trying hour. The mother, the wife, the sister - the beloved, the betrothed one, gave up all they held dearest, those to whom their hearts were clinging - gave them up in sad ness and submission, and held their tears to weep in the agony of lonely and anxious bereavement.
