D6- The Nashville Gazette publishes the
following definition of glory, on the anniver.
sary Of the surrender of the Confederate
army:
To us it is to-day an anniversary Of sad
ness but not Of shame. mol We glance back
over the days that are gone from the cradle
birth of endeavor to its final shipwrcck, and
proudly. We have no bushes for the past
All, there spreads before our Retrospective
vision picture of such wondrous grandeur,
that, forgetting the blank Of the present, we
exclaim with joyful pride, II is the definition
Of gloryl In the conception Of its sublimity
we can imagine nothing beyond to which
greatness can attain. We see an army, worn
with fatigues, peril innumerable on every
side, enduring trials that might make angels
weep--f6w In numbers, how few when conn
pared to the myriads before them, opposing
their front TO foe that leaned upon world
and yet making a Thermopyl@ OF every pass
a Marathon Of every plain! 1t is picture
that dims deeds of fame in the far Off past and
though the great can never die, yet In the
short restrospect of our lives there afe actions
Of greater renown. more enduring grandeur
than in the days Of centuries gone, and we
can but believe that future wotshippers OF
noble deeds will esteem II tho highest praise
OF the brave to say he fought as a rebel
soldier!

THE SOUTHERN DEAD.

What a train Of melancholy, yet proud
and thrilling, reflections rush upon the mind /,
in the contemplation of this subiectl The
aint-bearted-those who would barter in
dependence for few days Of circumscibed
liberty, remembering not that the dignity of
the government depends upon manly homes
ty Of the pcople--may shrink from the con-
temptation of this subject and all expression
of feelings to which it gives rise. But men
made in the image of God, whose Son, in
the last agouins of death, forgot not bis fol-
lowers, would dishonor themselves and their
great Exemplar, if they failed, under auy
circumstances, to remember, with feelings Of
proud admiration, those who offered their
lives as willing sacrafce in defence of q
cause which to them seemed righteous. The
South may have erred; but still must cher
ish the heroic dead. Why should it not
One of the first principles of our nature lead;
US to defend our rights, real or supposed, a.
gainst all assaults, no matter whence they
may come.
The war is over and while all should
strive, with honest zeal, to heal the wound.
and repair the waste places of our desolatet
country, we deem il no breach of plighteG
faith, to shed a silent tear DER the graves o
our noble dead. One spot in the sunny South
is hallowed by the burial of loved and hon
ored brother W no fell victim to the ruthless
hand of war. Think you his grave will evel
be forgotten2 Not until memory fails, ant
the soul speeds away to meet its kindred OF
the shores of eternity. Sleep on, then, rc
membered dead! And though you can new
er be walked to battle by the cannon's roar
your memories will ever be cherished by
grateful people. PISEY FoKR.
