All that is mortal of Henry Wilson, Of Massachusetts,
Vice President of the United States, lies in deaths
stiffness before The nation pauses her grief be-
side his open grave Her great men, her chief cap
tains her mighty men, every bondman that was and
everv frooman that 10 br,ng soma tr,hn1a 70
honor and of love to lay upon his dust
The nations emblem which his twenty years
OF public service contributed much TO leave full high
advanced, ay TO cleanse Of every stigma shame
the worlds eye, and in the eye OF posterity, droops
tendery above him. In this honorcd place, whose
chief seat is vacaDt--a place winch has often
echoed his voice. and where he has always stood the
unfinching, the uncorrupble defender OF human dig
nifty and human rghts-we, the highest and the low

lie, gather for brief soemnty. IL dtting that our
words be few Henry Wilson
THE PRODUCT ENGLAND.
II there was iron in his blood il there wys strength
in his muscle if there was backbone in KS frame he
owed part the tuition OF that sterf and rocky
soil, to the cold and nclemeut, the stern serious
aspects of his native New England Aye more than
this Henry Wilson was the product Of the New Eng
land dea-thai man is man and nothing be greater,
and that when God made man In His image He
made him TO have dominion, first over himself and
hen over just as vast empire among men as, under
God, he could subject to himself Henry Wilson
ambitious. Let US thank God that he was. When,
The 10Th day OF February 1872 he rst the light of
mortal life he was the heir OF three generations Of pow
erty, the descendant OF three generations ancestors
VINO had hardly Kept soul and body together who in that
rough and rugged half wilderness Of his native New
hampshire had, one after the other fought losing
battle with HE until the grave covered them. Ap-
prentlced 70 small farmer at ten years age and
taking the hard knocks and depryatons Of chore

the history and politics Of his country by The
light Of pine knots and BY the midnight aasLee ~

Henry Wilson was ambitious, but his ambition was am
bition to serve to bear burdens TO assume responsible
lies, perform abors, stand the rank not
much that he might lead that he might take The
hard knocks OF leader; that he might somewhere

that Of Washington and Jefferson and Adams that he

shadow Of Bunker Hill monument and IN close neigh
borhood to Lexington and Concord, where he was
hinking out his thoughts the music Of the hammer

debate with the merchants and lawyers oi Boston he
was girding himself less for leadership less for dign

places OF service and always served in them. IL was
him though he had caught tins counsel from his

determined in his inmost soul that by that sign ho

ESTIMATE DECEASED.
In making up estimate Of this mans character,
md the vast the prodgious achievements OF his life,
81 us remember that when Charles Sumner, The Che
alicr Bayard of Freedom whose white colors were |
