relieved them Of what little T. kale" they had
about them. The parties collecting not hav-

conr ection With these frequent robberies Of
Chinese, we are informed that there are Chi
namen who report to the robbers whenever
Cinnamon with money can beeaptured. The
inference is, Of course, that the rascally fel

they are permitted to remain there, brt i'm

THE BURIAL AT GETTYSBURG.

A voice as of the ocean surge!
And see mighty nation tread,
With banners dropped and funeral dirge,
Within the city of the dead.
On yonder slope, but yesterday,
Clashed steel with steel, and breast with breas
And tossed the battles b1oOd-red spray
Ger hosts who now In silence rest.
Kneel, motherland! in broken prayer
To kiss the dear the holy ground;
See strong men weep like children, there.
Spelling in vain each nameless mound;
And far, by Erie's waters deep,
Or mid the solemn woods of Name
The gray sire dreams, in troubled sleep,
OF one who comes not home again.
Sword of the Lord THAT cry of woe
From many bleeding wound shall start
Rest in thy scabbard, rest! All, mol
While traitors stab mothers heart!
AS breaks the thunderer's gathered roar,
hear-I hear nations cry,
From stormy cliff and sounding shore:
No Peace, no Peace, till Treason die!
No! by the sacred tolls of all
Who laid with no cement but truth
The stones of our Cyclopean wall
Mol by peoples giant youth;
No! by the red blood crime hath split;
No! by this heirloom of the free
Bear the bright sword swear on the hilt,
THESE years of wrong no more shall be
Chaunt We not now the Requiem sad,
Lift we the war-song clear and high;
Sing till it stir the sleepers glad
Who meath these crowded hillocks lie.
Sing, motherland! ye peaks that bloom
With wreathS of the eternal snow,
Ye primal forests, in whose womb
Navies of oak and iron grow!
Sing, prairies rich with nobler grains,
OF bearded men, of freeborn sons!
And thou, great river, through whose veins
The life blood of our heroes runs:
More than the yellow Theirs wave
Thy banks shall CLEAN with deathless fame,
Sing, with thy torrents, of the brave
Who died to keep a nations spotless name!

Let not be deluded with the belief that the

let not take the first streaxing of the dawn for

oped us have parted-light breaks through them
we give thanks for that !; but the sky is not yet
clear, nor the poison which Gods laws are trying
to eliminate from national atmosphere gone.

unprecedented victories that have been given us
and, taking up again whatever burdens the cause
lays upon us, go forward with more vigorous
olution and unfinching courage and manly fdel-
ity to the end, whether it shall come soon is
yet far off.
And again, and chiefly, we can but remember,
even in the midst of our joy, by what price we
have purchased the right to rejoice; but
remember by what sacrifices these triumphs have
been gained, by what cross this crown of glory
has been bought for us. This hour of joy has
been purchased by the highest price that
can give for any treasure-by our brothers blood
Some of the noblest lives that any nation
possessed were offered up on the fields of Gettys-

OF DISTRIBUTION, VA, M


al lips 1t were easy to glorify National flag,
which has SO glorifed itself. 1t were easy to ut
| ter peans of eu1ogy over the SKILL devotion, and
| valor which have won the brilliant military vic
| tories with which the land is now resonant and
which have covered our armies with an historic
| glory that shall be immortal. It were easy to
open mouths in thanksgivings for the brave
men living and the brave men dead, whose stout
hearts and heroic deeds have in this critical hour
shielded our country, and shielded us, from the
terrible humiliation and disaster which only
few days ago seemed close upon us. And we do
give thanks even here in this house of Christian
worship, dedicated to the Prince of Peace we lift
up our hearts in exultation at these triumphs
which have crowned our arms on the field of bat
tie. We rejoice that the dreadful clouds which
hung, ten days ago, one dense mass of blackness
over the land charged to the full with terrific
tempest soon to strike we know not where, have
been parted; we rejoice that the storm has burst,
and that the murderous thunderbolt has struck
not as we feared, the brave warriors defending
the nations and humanity's cause, but the insur-
gent hosts of treason and wrong. Yes, we may
give thanks to-day that this terrible cloud which
has been hanging over us has lifted that the dark
and fearful crisis has passed. that all around the
sky light is breaking-the sunshine, let us hope,
that is not to be darkened again, until it shall
break forth into the light of pure and honest
peace. Thanks be unto God that the cause of
justice has prevailed!
"Oh sing unto the Lord a new song:
Sing unto the Lord, all the earth
Give unto the Lord, ye tribes OF the people,
Give the LORD glory due his
Bring offerings and come into his courts.
Say among the nations that the Lord is King:
s W he He dge be a aS be rejoice
Let the and the fulneSS thereof:
Let the fields be joyful and all that is therein;
Let all the trees of the wood rejoice before the Lord
For He cometh For He cometh to give justice to all
the earth:
He will Judge the world with righteousness and the
nations with His TRUTH"
And Iwould that the grateful strains of our
joy, consecrated by the reverence that belongs to
this place, might be heard along the whole line
of our gallant armies-for they have all shared
in giving us this hour of thanksgiving-from the
Mississippi to the Susquehanna. Let them be
assured that their valor is religiously honored,
and that it will be kept sacred in the memory
and on the historic rolls of a saved people.
But while we may and do thus glory in these
unwonted triumphs, yet this strain of pure exul-
tation may not be the most profitable for our
meditations here; at least, our exultation must
be exalted above the low plane of a mere phys
cal triumph, above the battlefield of material
forces, into the region where the contending
hosts are not carnal but spiritual. We may re-
joice but let us rejoice as those who may again
be called to mourn. Let not our joy boyishly de- !
