JUsEPHy
Son of our Beloved President,

Erected by the Little Boys and Girls OF tic
SOUTHERN CAPITAL.
The feeling that prompted this tribute o.
affectionate regard will be appreciated by
every generous mind. He who would Will
tender care have guarded zealously the spot
where lie the remains Of his darling child
is prisoner, suffering the penalty of the
actions Of his people. To every magnanl'
nous man, the solitary prisoner, pacing
with weary steps the narrow easemate IL
! Fortress Monroe, or ieebly walking across
the enclosure of his prison, will be greater
object of sympathy and reverence tlai
when three millions of men were gu'oco
and dire ted by his lofty will. TO hiili' IL
his drcary incarceration, it will be cohSo'
lation beyond all price to know that ne Is
loved and remembered by those whom nc
still represents, and it will bring thrill o.
Measure to his aching heart, and to thar o.
| tho noble partner Of his sorrows and Joys
to feel that the people Of Virginia have
taken under their own protection the last
resting place of that son whose voice Is
now plcading before the throne of God for
that mercy to his earthly father which vim
/ dict;yc fanatical men are not willing to
| bcstoW.
