THE LESSON OF BUNKER HILL.

The central significance OF the BUNKER Hill
festival seems to lie in the fact that the time has
been chosen for renewal of the bonds Of fra
ternity between.sections Of the country recently
sundered. The battle fought = hundred years
ago is less in mems minds than the present spec
taole OF fellow countrymen, long alienated from
each other, once more meeting with feelings of
common patriotism and upborne by the con-
viction OF common national destiny. Nor
can it be denied that in true and bright
sense this is the kind of lesson
most worth needing in such q celebration.
Bunker Hill WAS not 30 much in itself as In what
it foreshadowed. In itself indeed, it was not
calculated to minister to the national pride, but
it showed the possibilities in those colonies for
resisting tyranny, even at Gthe hands Of one of
the most powerful nations in the world and it
pointed steadily to the future, when the princi.
Piles then struggled for should result in peace
and prosperity. 30 now the horizon is again
enlarged, for the rule is universal. Now
We look to nothing else than q
thoroughly restored and perfected union !;
not one in name only, but in fact q union in
which all Americans shall eelland admit them
selves brothers, undistracted by the dissensions
and enmities Of other days. This is the grand
claim Of the browning Centennial Of Philadel-
phia, towards which Concord, Lexington, Mock
lenburg and Charlestown speedily tend. These
glorious festivals are potent arguments for
union the imagination cannot withstand them.
The events which they commemorate are the
prosperity not Of a part, but Of the whole
people. The Yirginisn says at Bum
ker Hill Uhere I am at home this Ia as much
mine as yours !" and the truth Of the emotion
which suggests that thought is not shallow or
trsnsitory it goes deep; it touches the inner
hearts Of men. Love of country is very real
thing,-s very pure and noble and substantial
thing. The men of the South were for time
under the influence of fever dream, but the
ugly thing has passed and none better know
its foulness, or better appreciate the blessed
change in their restoration to an equal share
than themselves. This centennial epoch is
doing more for us than elections or laws. 1t is
causing US to give evidence one to another Of
love, sympathy and devotion. The bulk Of men
are good at heart, but they are 30 wrapped up in
the crusts and shells of self and money
getting that only at rare times does
some shock or emotion dismantle them,
and show them to one another as they are.
Ono such memorable time was the death Of Lin
coin; another is that which is now upon us. Lei
every man, and every woman, 30 improve it thai
when the generous heat cools-as it must fol
continuous eIcitements of the kind are not il
nature-it will find us sped long way in the di
rection of national purity and harmony
