The Long Road to ------ by Amanda Johnson. It was a dark, stormy day and the rain beat heavily on the small encampment in the midst of a lonely forest. The soldiers had been assigned to that lonely station to guard the big road that led from Washington city southward. All that the soldiers saw were the armies of the South marching northward into the battle-fields. But the command for them to move forward never came. All the soldiers were downhearted and tired. But of all of them the most dejected was a young man of about twenty years. His duty in the camp consisted in being a picket during the early hours of the morning. He would slowly march back and forth along the wide road during his watch, thinking of his happy home in the South. In his imagination he would picture the winding avenue of trees and the large house with its spacious veranda. He could almost see his mother in the doorway watching for him, and far away he could hear the song of the negroes at their work. Then he would make up pleasing fancies about the places to which the wide road led. All the places were wonderful lands where there was no war and all was peace and quiet. He never would ask anyone where the road led, for that would spoil his dreams. He wanted it to be the Long Road to- somewhere. One day the hurried command came that all the soldiers in the encampment should march northward to a certain place where a battle was expected to occur. The young man never forgot that day—the awful noise of exploding shot, and the excitement when the call came for his company to advance. He was in the front rank that was rushing to the battle, when all at once he saw a flashing light and heard a great roar. Then all was darkness. When he opened his eyes he found himself in a carriage with several other wounded soldiers. His head was bandaged, but he managed to lift him¬ self upon his elbow and look out of the window. He found that he was being taken down the large road, and looking forward he saw the winding river and the old plan¬ tation house of his dreams. He had found the old turnpike was “The Long Road To¬ wards-Home.”
