Daniel Perkins Dewey: Of the Twenty-Fifth Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers But in many a once happy home, silence and mourning must take the place of joy and exulta tion, for however much the heart may sympa thize in the general joy, still it must ache while the wounds are yet bleeding over its own lost treasures - its most cherished hopes blighted, its brightest anticipations darkened in perpetual gloom - for a father, a husband, a son, a broth er, a kinsman, a friend, who went forth with those armies, returns not, or he is borne silently homeward only to be laid in a grave upon his native soil, and to rest where those who loved him in life may come to weep with bitter tears over the mysterious and terrible necessity which claimed a sacrifice so priceless to their souls. But to confine our minds to the present state of our country, and to look back upon what has already made desolate one home after another, is enough for busy thought and wondering in quiry, when young men of so much promise for any and all the duties and responsibilities of life, are cut down in their early morning, as they have been in thisdreadful war. There is but one consolation - God, the fountain of wisdom and the father of mercy, has sufl'ered it to be so, and we must bow in submission to that which now we can not understand.
