again to behold. If you live to be rs old as
Ms,huaolah Il will be your lifelong regret
that you cannot say in regard to this war.
after Its close, " Quorum pars fai,'-"l was
sharer in this contest" Let me commend
to you the following beautiful lines from tho
German, which the lamented CnoArx loved
to repeat not less for their poctical beauty
than for their truthful inspiration -
"Haste not, let no thoughtless deed,
Mar for'er the spirit specd;
Ponder reH and knor the right.
OSwARD THEN WIN ALL rnr NIGHT;
Haste not-years can ne'er atone
For one reckless action done.
Rest not life Is passing by,
Go and dare before you die,
Something mighty and sublime
Leave behind to conquer time
Glorious tie 10 lire for aye
When these forms have passed away.
Haste not rest not! calmly wait;
Meekly bear the storms Of fate;
Duty be hypoiar guide,
DO ths Right, rhdt'sr beifds;
HSste not, rest not Conflicts past.
God shall erorn thy icork at lasf!"
But, my friends, American Institutions
shall surripe this storm-taction, treason,
and rebellion shall DO "crushed OUT" and
our good Ship of State will outridc tho storm
In stronger condition than when tho tenn
pest commenced. The ever-glorious Stars
and Stripes shall shine with "a brighter lustre
and with an increasing splendor,-
"In Peace or War, on land or sea,
Our flag, the ngis Of the free,
Bright emblem Of Columbia's glory,
Shall tell to coming years the story,
How, stout Of heart and strong Of hand.
The patriots Of our native land
Bore 1.-THE nations hope and life,
On tented field, mid fearful strife,
Still On! till through the sulphurous
cloud,
RbrOke IN triumph; Trsa,ont saroud!"
Could We consult some Delphian Oracle In
relation to the future destiny q Columbia.
VIC should find some inspintion not unlike
the following from Milton: -
"Nlethinks SEQ In my mind great and
puissint nation, rousing herself like strong
man after sleep. and shaking her inviuciblc
locks. Methinks I SEQ her as an eagle new
ing her mighty youth, and hndiiny her Nh.
dassied eyes at the Jiln midday beam; purg-
ing and unseaiiny her long abused sight at the
fountain ITSELF, Of heavenly radiance; while
the whole noise of timorous and hocking
birds with those also that love the twilight,
Autter about, amazed ut what she means.
and In their envious gabble would prognos-
ticate year Of sects schisns."
Ladies and Gentlemen IL am not tho

and myself to shrink from It's tolls and dan
