From her regal throne the beautiful moon
Keeps watch DER the world Tonight.
And the sombrc leave, of the old pine trees
Are dripping with silver light.
In forests deep where the shadows sleep.
And ~hispering uisht-winds play,
That radiance streams in tangled CLEANS,
Like foods Of tremulous spray.
On the crested sea, with its pillows free,
II rests like SMILE OF peace,
And with beauty lavss the folm-tpped waves
That laugh ON the shining beach.
Oh. guardian moon, hear thou the boon
Z. wecirnes,ly ask Tonight;
There ere souls that weep, there are hearts that
keep
Sol ,isils beneath thy light.
There are bright flowers dead, there are sweet
hopes fed.
There are young lips white with pain,
There are stern hearts low with crushing woe.
There are proud fOr!ns bent in vain.
Bea.a thought Of day, on thy glowing ray
To the souls that sink ihniglit,
Touch the tear-limmed eyes with glad sur
prise,
A dream OF the coming light.
The sad anOve with smile of love.
And the weary hxrt Of care,
With the hope divine that shall sweetly shine,
When peace shall conquer despair.
Like wave Of love from the fouuts above,
Let thy luminous glory sweep
Where memory's star. over friends afar,
Keeps guarl. in the silence deep.
And, gentle moon, at the nights still noon
Thy peaceful radiance shed,
Where swords have elashel, and bayonets

And brave men joined the dead;
And bear rs a shield, to the tentel field,
The odor OF eeaseless prayers,
Which angels note As they heayenward Aoat.
And tune 20 celestial airs. rs.

LECTURE BY
HON. d. >. DICKINSON.
OF NEW YORK,
ON 1.-THE UNION"
Delivered in fremont Temple, on Wednes-
day Evening, Dec. 10th. 1901.

Mr.. President and ladies and gentlemen:
Forty years ago last October was the last
time have been in Boston, before the pres.
ent, and not expecting then to deliver this
lecture. did not wait. But am happy to
find it now not only the same great but a
greater city, with all the elements OF pros.
pcr;y and thrift, commerce, learning and
religion; literally city set upon hill that
cannot be hid.
One year ago this vast republic, stretching
from the frozen region Of the North to the
tropics, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, was
all peace and happiness and prosperity
Gods sunshine set upon the people rs no
sunshine ever set before. The poor man s
tax was not called for in any portion of the
rcpublic save in the sacred names of friend.
ship and authority aud law, and literally cy.
cry one sat under his own vine ana fix tree.
What has brought about this great change?
We find war, horrible war, threatening the
great centre of our institutions, armed bands
rayaging over this fine land, causing it to
throb and hcayc and beat us with the con-
yulsionS of volcano. Ii is not q foreign
foe; it is not IN outbreak Of the people that
has done this but it is consplracy-a hell
born conspiracy, that has attempted to over
throw the government and lay the axe to the
root of the tree of Liberty; q conspiracy
not originating with the people, but with
the officers Of the government not nursed
among the populacc, but at the capital
consecrated by the sacred name Of the Fa-
ther of his country-by men who were de-
termined to rule or ruin. They would erect
new government, based upon monarchical
principles, where the many shall be the SER
wants Of the few, and where military rule
shall override the public will.
1t is for this that six bundled thousand
men have. bucklcd on their armor and gone
10 the nclu 10 ucleIu tnc IIlOU uilu our
countrys Constitution. Never a govern
ment presented more glorious spectacle
than this. This rebellion has only made it
stronger, and those opposed to it find it
strong enough to protect its Capital, to block
ade their coasts, and compel them to keep a
continual day of fasting il not of prayer
applause y strong enough to have seized .
OF their chief conspirators under the flag of
the proudest nation on the globe and bring
them here to minister to the domestic instead
of foreign affairs; strong enough to crush
this rebellion to the earth so that it shall
never rise again, ana we shall see this great
tree of liberty that has sheltered the children
of the earth under its branches strong enough
to maintain its position against all the thun-
der gusts that threaten it. What il in do.
ing this there is a great loss ofmatcrial wealth
great loss OF blood and life?

We may well be proud OF our country when
WE see that We have done what any other
government has never done before. With an
AMY and navy demoralized and bctra' ed, +,
with our arsenals robbed, officers betraying
their commands with no standing army, and
the navy scattered abroad for the purpose OF
allowing this rebellion to triumph, in a few
months W. have put one Of the greatest ar

have poured millions upon millions OF dol

lions upon millions more are offered and rea-
dy. 1t is proud and gratifying position.-

entitled to the greatest credit for this, We
are all proud to acknowledge that the old
Cradle OF Liberty, rich with the memories Of
Concord, Lexington and Bunker Hill, has

and that Massachusetts, has done her whole
