these graves with sense of min
gled sorrow and | leasure; sorrow

The associations bro't up by this

These graves are not only sug.
gestive of the privations, hard
ships, and sulferings Of our bus,
bands, fathers, brothers and coun-
trymen but they are among the
sublmest testimonials Of the value
Of our civil institutions. These
sepulchres, like the trustees Of some
magic influence, arouse the soul. of
an American to a peculiarly solemn
yet profitable train Of thoughts.-

street, the enlistment, preparation
for departure, the testament, minia-
