watch the conduct of men, how must the
spirits of our departed comrades exult

assemblage of loyal men and women who
have come together on this sacred mount
to commemorate the great principles for
which they fought and laid down their
lives, and to do Justice to the memory of
the gallant dead One by one our old COM
rades are passing away and going to their
reward, and methinks when it is announc-

celestial gates are thrown wide open, and
the heavenly choir with thrilling JOY per-
form the national airs of Paradise. The
diadem which encircles the brow of our
bless cd Redeemer while he bows at the

thickly studded with the souls of those
who hav' gone up through much tribula-

brighter and brighter as ages roll on, are
