ULYSSES NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. BY W. b.
KING
To cherish the memory of the dead, in
whatever form affection may prompt, is an
Observance that commends itself alike to
the favor of God and man.
The lowly grave, the ponderous tomb,
the rock hewn sepulchre, the funeral crypt,
and the stately mausoleum have evoked the
hightst efforts of Art in the Identifying Of
the last homes of the honored dead.
As the patrisrchs Of old, amid the hills
of Palestine, met to embellish the graves
of their departed, so we meet to day TO
decorate the graves of our fallen braves
with an offering Of the young years sweet
eat flowers.
The silent occupant Of this grave, ULYs-
sEs McQUIsTOS, was born in 1912. He en-
listed in 1861, and returned home 10 die
in 1868. OF him, as ali who have passed
away may be said He was born, he lived,
he died. In these three great essentials,
birth, life and death, all mankind have &
like destiny. The only universal epitaph
would be the simple sentence. "He was
born, he lived, he died.
He was with the grand army Of the PO-
tomac in its first advance on Richmond,
taking part in the seven days disastrous
battles. and also in those Of Slstersville
and Williamsburg. The hardships OF the
campaign, with exposure to the deadly
malaria of the swamps of the C~hickahom
my, which swept away twenty thousand
of the bravest soldiers of the Republic, so
poisoned his system, that after a long siege
in hospital to regain lost health, he was
discharged for permanent disability. Re.
turning no ne he lived ten months, and
was then consigned TO the narrow house
appointed for all the living.
Of mhquestioned bravery as a soldier,
and unswerving fidelity as friend, he pre-
scented traits Of character worthy both our
admiration and imitation. He died in his
country's service. He gave his life to i'll
the measure of her liberty and glory, ana
we may Confidently hope reaps a soldiers
reward. CATER life's itful fever he sleeps
we'll" No drum beat, bngle or roar of
will break his dreamless sleep.
Rest soldier. rest. thy warfare DER
Sleep the sleep that knows no breaking
Dreams of battle-helds no more {
Days OF danger. nights Of waking. ,
