and the lurid light Of the blazing pine
torch
Shall | not, then, claim for you who
represent this ideal volunteer, the higher
honor, yea, the highest honor that is con.
ceded to mortal on earthY
You can easily recall how long the war
seemed to US in its progress, but how
short, even now, looking back upon IL az
ter period Of little more than three
years How inooncclvably short, then,
will 1t appear TO those who, hundred
years hence, will grope through the pages
Of history TO learn of the events and
causes that led FIVE millions of people TO
rebel when no single act of oppression
or tyranny was even alleged We owe It
to them, while still in the Yigor of life and
health, to record the parts we played in
this grand drama Of life, with the motives
and feelings that actuated us through its
various stages
Many time and oft you have lain upon
the bare ground, with no canopy above
but that of Heaven with its host of gilt
tering stars; and l know you have
dreamed of time to come like this, when
seated in peace and security, surrounded
by admiring friends, YOU would be
crowned by tiara of light such as now
hangs over your heads Accept this, then,
as the fruition of your dream, and enjoy
the hour.
Four Of your comrades -one from each
of the armies specially represented here
will address you, and tell you of the deeds
| you have done. Give them willing and
attentive ear, and when you go back
to your homes, tell them all that
these armies, though dispersed in the flesh,
/ yet live in the spirit as strong and enthu-
siastic as they were four years ago, when
in the very death -grapple with the enemies
of our country and of civilization.
And now, in the name of the committee
that has made these preparations, extend
to you ali q cordial greeting-to the vet.
eran of 1861, TO the recruit of 1865; yea,
| to the convert of the very Last hour of
/ grace. In the name of the people of Chi.
cago, who have provided the means, bid
| you welcome, and assure you that a seat
awaits you at every flreside
! And in the name of every patriot of the
/ land give you welcome, and tell you that
/ the lightning's flash is not swift enough to
satisfy their yearning hearts to know what
! is done here this night.
The presence of the men about me, theiI
high office, and the duties they have lef
to be with you here, all attest the Interest
and grandeur of the occasion, and in theil
names, too, comrades all, bid you thrice
welcome. Tremendous applause.

TIE NTGHr BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Rye. c. MOORE
Twas the night before Christmas, when all
through the house,
Not creature was stirring. not even mouse;
The stockings were hang by the chimney with
In hope that st Nicholas soon would he there;
INC children were nestled all snug in their beds
While Visions Of sugar pums danced in their
heads;
And mamma in her kerchiof and in my can.
hao Just settled our brains foT long winters
When ont on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
sprang from my bed TO sec what was the matter (;
Away to the window flew like a nash,
Ioro open the shut and threw up the sash.
Ihe moon on the breast OF the new.fallen snow,
Gave the lustre of midday to objects below.

And he whistled and shouted and called them by

And then in twinkiug heard on the roof,
The pswing aud prancing of each little hoof

Down the chimney ST. Nicholas came with a

lie was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and
SCOT;

And he looked like apeddlcrjust opening his pack.
His eyes how they twinkledl his dimples how
merryl
His checks were like roses--hs nose like cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the card on his chin was white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight Ia his teeth
And the smoke II encircled his head like a wreath.

That shook when he laughed like bowl full OF
Jelly.

And laughed when saw him in spite of my elf

Soon gave me to know had nothing to dread.

And giving a nod, mp the chimney he rose

But heard him eXclaim, ere he drove out of sight

lish Itself, Mr.. Cooley has constantly added such
other feature to his magazine, and has so excel
lently managed this, that 1t has circulated when
fashions were a secondary consideration, and re-
talnSd every advantage once gained. The litera-
ry character OF the work has been sd generis, and
40 wisely adapted to the tastes of those for whom
1t catered, that 1t has grown constantly, and
always retained the good will OF those who made
Its acquaintance. Cooley, although followed by
numerous rivals and imitators is still at the head.
The literary matter Is furnished by Marion Har-
land and long list OF entertaining and agreeable
writer's. We are pleased to see such abundant
proofs OF enterprise and good Judgment in the
old Avorite, and feel assured that 10 will thereby
continue its record, and be green aud lusty when
some of its young competitors ere forgotten.

beCtufeIS, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, mack oTl-
vers, philosophers, and tax gstherers
have been giving themselves good
deal of trouble lately about "the coming
man" "the coming woman" "the com
ing horse" etc. Their solicitude now
has assumed q new phase; il appears
there is comparatively nobody "com-
ing" We adduce the following from
an Eastern exchange to show what is
keeping the statisticians awake o. nights:
"The falling off during the last two
years in the attendance at the common
schools in New England, it is asserted.
is not TO be attributed 20 a neglect of
education or to mistakes in the returns
but TO an actual decrease in the number
of children. IL is stated that, forty
years ago, ten children in family were
frequently observed, and that the aver
age number of the offspring of parents
aged forty-6ve, was seven. Now, how
ever. the average is only foar. In many
towns the deaths exceed the births, and
only the immigration of foreigners keeps
up the general standard Of the popula-
tion."

stances how grateful 10 the assurance of
