This thing operated in many ways for

most man ia the great Christian revolu-
tion Of our ago struck down. But his
task nevertheless, was accomplished, and
the battle of his life was won. So he

or that belongs to one, that has SO nobly
done his part, and carrying in his last
thoughts the sense of deep, s,eadfast
thankfulness that he could now see the
assured coming of that end for which be

while the tears of nation fall lllupon his
corpse, and the world softly speaks how
true and good hs was? Who will not
bow the head submissive to the inscru.
table decree which mocks our plans and
fancies, bat even in our sorrow makes us
feel that it is wiser, juster, kinder than
our own vain wishes might have been?

Americans only but among all who think
OF manhood as more than rank, aud set
