The Death of Capt. William I.. Haskell,
Who died at Chambersburg, Pa., Oct. 18th,
from wounds received in the battle of Anti
ctam, delivered in the Baptist Church in
Yarmouth, Oct. 25th, by Rev. Charles F.
Foster, Pastor.
l ext :—1 Here w I»0 discharge in that war.
[Eecl. viii. 8.
We live ic a sorrowful day. The quiet en
joyment of t'ie fireside is broken by the sound
of weeping. Mourning hearts fill the land.
We go forth in the morning hopeful: we re
turn at night bowed down with grief; fora
great shadow has swept across our path. The
news of sudden disaster reaches us, and our
hopes are dashed in a moment. Such has been
the experience of many hearts,—of many
households during the past twelvemonth.—
All this is the result of strife. It is with us
the fruit of astern necessity which has driven
the strong and vigorous but beloved ones of
our homes to the conflict with a wicked and
desperate foe.
War is, in its best aspect, a calamity to be
dreaded, and to be avoided if possible by eve
ry means consistent with a regard for justice,
truth and order. It is to be reckoned as the
greatest curse which has fallen upon the na
tions of the earth since the dawn of history.— ;
And though the Bible has exhibited the plans
of campaigns and the pictures of conflicts under 1
the superintendence of Jehovah Himself, and
though the sacred wriliugs imply the necessity
of strife so long as error and injustice seek to
obtain the mastery over the true and the right,
yet war is an evil, a curse, and a judgment up
on our people. In this light is it presented by
the inspired historian, wheu he records David’s
sin in numbering his host, and the sad conse
quences of the act. Three forms of chastise
ment were offered to the sinning king, from
which he might select; either seven years of
famine, or three months of disastrous fighting,
or three days of pestilence. Even the warrior
was daunted at the thought of that devastation
which must attend repeated defeat, and he
chose rather to fall directly into the hands of
God.
War, existing as a necessity on our part, and
also as a Divine judgment we believe, is now
upon us. Looking over the face of our strick
en land, at the disorder in our public, our
business, and our domestic interests, gazing
with tender hearts at the sight before us, of
the wasted strength and beauty of manhood,
and remembering that this is but a repetition
of the wo of many whose horizon has been sud
denly darkened at noonday, wc cannot help
referring to those words of the Psalmist, ex
pressive of deep humility under the Divine
chastisements, “ come, behold the works of the
Lord, what desolations He hath made in the
earth!”
leiu unguier ua\ is nopeu lor. l ms Slate
of things cannot last forever. Peace, w ith the
blessings of a free and Christian government,
and the reunion of these S'ates, rises in pleas
ing prospect before us, to lie fully realized
when the chastisement of war shall have been
sufficiently endured. When Jehovah shall have
seen that we penitently and trustfully seek His
face, anrl that the purposes of discipline are
accomplished, then will He doubtless with
draw! the scourge. For He too, “ maketh wars
to cease unto the end of the earth ; He break
eth the bow and cultetb the spear in sunder;
He burnetii the chariot in the tire.” Yes, in
this war, dreadful as it seems, there will be a
discharge. The welcome shout shall ring
through the land,—the arm of the foe is brok
en, the giant head of the rebellion is in the
dust, and peace with her attendant blessings
returns to us again. God grant that this time
shall speedily approach, when the loved ones
shall come back to our homes, freed from the
obligations under which they are now placed
in the arduous defence of our country.
But, beloved, there is a war, in which there
is no discharge. The wise man has most graph
ically inserted the illustration of the text. He
here alludes to that event which must befall
all mankind. He likens death to a struggle in
which every one of us is compelled to partici
pate. The illustration, no doubt, covers the
idea of the apprehension as wdl as that of the
final realization of the event. Man is a frail
being. Born with a perishable organization
which needs to be watched and guarded at
every point, the whole of his life may be re
garded as an attempt to ward off the approach
of death. There are multitudes, who all their
life-time are subject to bondage through fear,
and even those who are apparently the most
dauntless or indifferent, are nevertheless care
ful to shun the path where danger lurks. The
appropriateness of the figure of the text is at
once manifest, when death is viewed in its
true light, as a retribution. As a penalty for sin,
it is an all-controlling evil. It is a part of the
original curse so manifest in its character, that
men would escape it if they could. The idea
of suffering, an<l pain, and of an unknown fu
ture is associated with It. The soul shrinks
back tremblingly at the thought of all this.—
The passing out of the world, indeed, divested
of the attendant distress, and apprehension’
cannot la’ a punishment to the believer. To
him the surroundings of the tomb, and the
mode of his exit, constitute the curse. Thus
he suffers for transgression, and from the suf
fering his soul draws back. Life is, then a con
stant struggle with death. Our mortal exist
ence is a warfare.
But let us turn to the prominent thought of
the text. It is not the fact that death is the
enemy of the human race which especially
claims our attention on this solemn occasion.
It is that none are exempt from this warfare,
and that none can escape from the destroyer’s
power. “ There is no man that hath power
over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath
lie power in the day of death.” Oh! there are
some of the noble and good of earth whom we
would gladly withhold from the final conflict.
There are some whose very frailty.and beauty
would seem to exempt them from such a dread
necessity, and there are others whose man
ly vigor, we fain hope will insure them at
least for a season from the assault of the de
stroyer. But alas! there is no discharge in
that war. The fearful conscription is at work,
and death is everywhere.
The old are not exempt. For though the
grasshopper lie a burden, though fear lie in the
way, and desire fail, the foe must be encoun
tered by the aged, with trembling limbs, and
palsied hands, and weakened energies.
The yrmny are not exempt. lie whose ten
der age keeps him beneath the parental roof,
while his older companions have gone to battle,
meets the adversary at home. We think there
arc places of security for those whom God has
given ns. we put them deep in our hearts, we
keep them in the seclusion of the tire-side cir
cle, that the rough conflict may be avoided,
but how often are we taught the lesson that
peril hides in the very bosom of fancied safety
and repose. The soldier returns rough and
scarred while the brother or child tenderly
watched falls a victim to the destroyer at home.
Let the young remember that death is their
lot.
Mature manhood is not exempt. The intel
ligent, the active, the wealthy are not a prive
leged class. How have the mighty fallen!
now is the equality of mankind here demon
strated! Dives and Lazarus meet. They die
and are buried. One event happeneth to all:
It is appointed unto men once to die. So in
the struggle of perishing mortality with its
greatest foe, there is no discharge.
1 have aimed to expand a scriptural illustra
tion so as to impress the truth that death is
the common lot of man. The Bible, however,
by the same kind of illustration communicates
a corresponding truth of a consolatory nature.
There is victory in death. The laurel fresh
ens above the mournful cypress. Mortality is
swallowed up in life,—that life which the ev
er-blessed Son of God reveals. He has con
guered the last enemy. He has risen from the
grave. In this demonstration of His power,
Christ brought life and immortality to light.
Henceforth we may look to Him, not for the
avoidance of the coutest, but for final victory,
“ Thanks be to God, ” says the Apostle, “ who
giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ. ” What a glorious result to a life-long
conflict! the resurrection of the just! the res
tortion of these bodies, and the clothing of
these spirits with an immortal freshness! the
attainment of unspeakable bliss at the right
hand of God! This is the victory of faith!
I turn to contemplate for a moment a few
features of the life of him whose remains are
with us to-day. Were we to consider only the
outward aspect of the case, our language
would lie only that of surprise, perhaps of mur
muring. Who could be so poorly' spared from
earth, as the young, the noble, the educated,
the brave,—the accomplished scholar, the gal
lant soldier, the affectionate husband and sou?
Shall not such a one be exempt from the sad
decree? All! there is no discharge in that
war, and we must bow with a trustful spirit
to the superior wisdom of God.
William L. Haskell was horn at Poland, in
this State, January 7th, 1838. In his earlier
years he evinced a mature manliness, and a de
termined energy of character not common at
that age. His parents tell us that he w’as al
ways a manly boy. This feature l»ecame in
tensified in the subsequent development of
those traits which constitute true manhood.
Every one who became acquainted with him
must have perceived in his bearing a dignity
not assumed. His desire for knowledge, which
couiu uoi no gruunea witn the mimed oppor
tunities of liis Imme, led him to seek an edu
cation elsewhere, and at considerable sacri
fice. He began his course preparatory for
college at the academy in this village (Yar
mouth) about eight years ago. He entered
Bowdoin College, and graduated in I860, hav
ing spent his vacations in teaching, so as to
obtain tlie means for continuing his studies.
It was during his collegiate course that he
taught several schools in this town, and so
became well known to our citizens, and espe
cially to the children and youth, for whom he
had a peculiarly kiud regard. After graduat
ing, he was associate Principal of the Oak
Seminary in Vassalboro,’ for a year or more,
until the time of his entering the army. Here
i it was then that the call of duty reached him.
An ouly brother had been taken prisoner by
the enemy at Bull Uun, and the report of his
death, though afterwards proved to be errone
ous, caine home to sadden the hearts of friends.
Feeling the urgency of the ease, and the de
: mand upon him in the hour of his country's
j peril, William enlisted at once, resolutely and
heartily. He entered the service as 1st Lieu
■ tenant, Co. B. 7th Maine regiment. This was
| in August, 1861. He shortly left for Balti
more. During the winter he came home, and
was engaged for some months in the Quarter
master's department, at Augusta. While thus
! occupied the battle of Williamsburg was
fought, in which the “7111" gained such laurels.
; Impatient for active service, he immediately
I thereupon hastened to join his regiment. He
was In the tierce and repeated encounters be
fore Richmond, and subsequently in Maryland,
j Previous to his last battle a Captain's eoin
i mission had been issued to Inn, but it did not
reach him unliljhe lay wounded and suffering
at Chambersburg.
On the evening of the 17th of September,
just five weeks previous to the arrival of his
remains in this place, his regiment, after a
wearisome march, reached the scene of the
battle which had been raging through the day
in tlie vicinity of Sharpsburg. They were at
once ordered to the perilous task of dislodg
ing the enemy from a neighboring hill, on
! which they were securely posted, and con
| cealed by an orchard. The slaughter was ter
rifle. Placed between the concealed fires of
an overwhelming force, their ranks melted be
fore the enemy. Capt. Haskell, then Acting
Adjutant, was prominent in the charge, until
his horse having been three times shot, and
becoming unmanageable, he dismounted, and
at that instant a bullet penetrated both his knees,
and he was prostrated. He lay upon the bat
tle-field until Saturday, when lie was removed
through the kindness of Capt. Jones. At
Cbatnbersburg, to which place he was taken,
he received the best ol' care and medical at
tendance in the family of Mr. Hamilton, until
his death, which occurred quietly and peacably
on Friday, the 18th inst.
It is scarcely needful for me to speak of his
excellent personal qualities in the presence of
those who knew him so well. Of his valor,
many who arc here to-day, who have seen him
in times of strife and danger, can testify. He,
like yourselves, knew beforehand the extreme
peril which attended that fearful onset in
which he lost his lire. Yet he flinched not in
tlie execution of the order. Conspicuous on
that day, while mounted upon a horse whose
color made him a prominent mark for the ene
my. he was at every point where the shafts of
death flew thickest. And after he was wound
ed, while lying with but little prospect of a re
moval from the battle-field, his cool courage,
and his unselfish nature, manifested tliem
selves in the letter written with a pencil to his
wife, and in his request to a brother officer to
“leave him to his fate, and take care o( him
self.”
That he was actuated, not by a sordid mo
tive, but by a noble patriotism in going him
self to the service of his country, I have not
the least doubt. He has fallen a worthy sac
rifice for the maintenance of a worthy cause_
a martyr to the sentiments which actuate every
true lover of his country. I call to mind with
a peculiar sadness the words which I address
ed to him, a little more than a year ago, on the
occasion ot his marriage. They were the la
mi'iar and oft-quoted line of the Latin poet:
“Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori,”—it is
sweet and proper to die for one’s country. I lit
tle thought then that j was uttering a kind of
prediction,so soon to be realised. I am told that
the verse was a favorite expression with him,
and that he often repeated it, as though the sen
timent were thoroughly incoporated in his soul.
Hi* consecration was the result of his firm con
viction of duty. Under this impulse he enlist
ed; uuder this he fought; and thus he died, a
true patriot.
But to these natural excellences, we are as
sured that the one thing needful was joined.
Tli^fc was a basis of character w hich the
grace of God must have laid. His attention
was etClIed to the subject of religion while pur
suing h.s studies at tiie Academy, and he then
entertained a Christian hope, although he
made no public profession. To his lriends,
however, he was at that time free to express
his religious convictions and belief. The tes
timony of one who was intimately associated
with him iu Camp life goes to prove that he
never lost his regard for the truth as revealed
in Christ. In his last hours the veil which
had been partially drawn over his religious
life by self-distrust or by the anxieties of his
profession, was completely removed, and his
faith appeared with fresh luster. A minister
of the gospel who attended him during his
sickness thus writes. “He died in the adopt
ing favor of God. and the saving hope of im
morality and eternal lile. His end was peace.’'
How satisfactory must this testimony be to ev
ery Christian heart! What a victory is this in
the warfare with death? “Thanks be to Him
who giveth us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ.”
Friends, you who are so sorrowfully gath
ered to-day to pay this tribute to the memory
of one beloved and esteemed, let your hearts
be cheered by those many circumstances at
tendant upon his death, which were of a char
acter to mitigate your grief. It was a kind
Providence that saved him from a lingering
death upon the battle-field, and placed him un
der the care of those kind friends who watch
ed over him to the last. It was almost a mi
raculous interposition that led the father to
his bedside just in season to receive his part
ing words, and the messages of affection to
loved ones at home. It is a pleasant thought
that his body lies not in an unknown giave,
| and that the hand of corruption has been stay
| ed for us to look upon his lifeless, yet sugges
tive features to-day. But most of all should
it console your hearts, that he died trusting in
God,—peacefully, calmly fell asleep iu hope of
a resurrection in Christ. Beloved friends,
comfort one another with these words.
J»u, Ilia 'M.ni; v will ji.iiiit I||> III J|| III",line
I commend yotir valor, exhibited in so many
hard lights, and while I appreciate the glory
• which your arms have won, I cannot help
j most earnestly pointing out the importance of
seeking that crown of glory which ladeth not
away. You may return to the scene of con
flict. Some of you may fall upon the battle
field. In a holy cause like ours, the passage
from the battle-field to Heaven is as direct as
from the softest dying couch prepared by lov
ing hands in peaceful homes. But, in order
to make this happy transfer from the scene of
strile to the rest above, the heart must be at
peace with its God. The hero, who shall most
successfully fight, is he who in the hour of
death, can rest assured that the enmity ol his
heart is conquered by grace, and that he has
thus gained a victory over self. To him the
gates of the eternal city shall open. It is for
you now to obtain this assurance through the
mediation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our
| prayers are for you while you remain in the
camp, they will follow you when you go again
| into battle, and we trust that the spirit of the
brave ones who have fallen, with the Spirit
also of our Divine Master w ill animate you in
} the future.
Brother! farewell for a little season; thou
hast finished thy course; henceforth there is
] laid up for thee a crown of righteousness,
j which the Lord the righteous Judge shall give
j thee at that day; and not to thee only, but
