ELKTON, NOVEMBER -, 1875.
HENRY WILSON.

One by one the veterans pass away.
AS the years glide by, "the heroes of
an hundred battles" the men who ruled
the councils of the nation in the hour
Of its greatest perils, and those who
were the foremost in the struggle for
human rights, silently take their places
in the pantheon of death, there to await
the verdict which history and posterity
will pass upon their motives and their
acts.
The nation has been called, within the
past few days, to mourn the death of
Henry Wilson, Vice President of the
United States, and to pay to him the
last sad tributes of respect and honor.
His public life is known of all men.
The story of its humble beginning and
noble conclusion, is an example to be
followed, and an excitement to be felt;
and standing at the verge of his open
grave we can truly say, here was one
who had grasped the lowest round of
the ladder, and who has reached the
topmost. Of humble origin and born to
poverty, with education to be acquired,
support to be earned, everything to gain
before it could be enjoyed, he attained
every earthly object, either brilliant or
substantial, for which we live and strug-
gle in this life-honors, fortune, friends.
He will be best remembered for his dis
interested patriotism, his boundless phil
anthropy, and for the noble battle which
he waged for equal rights and for the
overthrow of American slavery. He will
take his place alongside of the emf
nent men of the generation to which
he belonged-Lincoln, Sumner, Seward,
Chase, Fessenden, Greeley, Hale. Having
fought the good fight, having kept the
faith, having finished his course, we lay
him to rest, surrounded by the tokens
of nations sorrow, enshroudcd in
the robes of nations gratitude. Con-
scous of the purity of his public and
private life we Intervene the laurel and
the cypress, and consign his name to
history to be transmitted to posterity
for it's plaudits and its emulation. We
have not space for an extended notice
of his character-nor is it necessary. No
panegyric is needed to perpetuate his
fame, for his eulogum will be sounded
in peoples lamentation, and his cpl
taph be written on peoples heart.
I" Enduring marble ~ and enduring
brass " will crumble into dust, but the
monument, reared to his memory in a
peoples love, will be imperishable.
Humanity loses no nobler champion,
freedom no sturdier arm, the lowly and
the oppressed no more sympathizing
advocate. A guerdon of rejoicing shall
be his, and high in the parthenon of
glory will appear the name of-HENRY

ST. NICHOLAS for December has for its
frontispiece an entirely original aud most
charming portrait of Hans Christian An
dersen," surrounded by several of the rep
resentative creations of his fancy, which
are set forth with almost as much delicacy
as in his own word-pictures No writer in
this country is better qualified to tell of
Hans Christian Andersen than Mr.. Boyesen,
the Norwegian novelist, and the author of
the article in the December number of ST.
Nicholas. OF the other contributions to
the number, perhaps the most noticeable
are II. HIS poem Of "The Legend of St.
Nicholas" the article entitled ..Something
About Railroads." and giving details of the
railway; and the long contribution or
"Oue Hundred Christmas Presents, and
How to Make Them AS for other at
fractions, Mr.. Brooks serial, "The Boy
Emigrants,' grows in interest. Readers
of the magazine have long known what
keen excitement and inspiration to expect
from the various departments, and in no
single issue have they probably found more
enjoyment than they will in this one, either
from Jack-in-the Pulpit, or from the Rid
dle-Bo To simply glance through the
December number of 81. Nicholas is at
least to confess that never before has liter
AZURE for children reached SO high level.
