was one and inseperable. lmbued with
these principles, they grdod on the armor
of faith, and went forth to secure them to
their posterity; with what success let
let that national emblem tell us as 1t floats
to-day from turret and tower all over this
broad land, and seems to shout as with a
mighty voice, the Union, now
and forever, one and inseparable.
Oh, how glorious the lot which every actor
in that grand drama enjoys In the words
of one of Americas most eloquent writers,
while mere political glory may decline,
who is there that does not feel that their |
fame has only begun to glow, and the rays |
pure and warm as they are, which within |
O few weeks have been shining upon their
hardly closed graves, will gather In history
into sun that will fill distant ages and
chimes with the perfume and the glory of
their deeds and their names" They had
their faults, to be sure, but when weighed
against their love of country they are un-
worthy to be mentioned here. Their no.
BILE patriotism, their good deeds, and the
remembrance of their grand achievements,
will clothe their memory In perpetual
honor. What glorious thought, what
precious truth, that though all things else
| perish, the human mind will live forever.
Men fall as the leaves of autumn the tow
| erng oak that has withstood for so many
years the storms and tempests falls and
decays. The lofty temple that has reared
its glittering dome on high for ages crum-
bles, and that which was the admiration of
the whole world is mingled with its dust.
Cities and empires rise and fall F; "earth
may die;" its habitants may exclam,
Earth is passing away, its requiem may
ring round heavens rampant, stir the
thornless rose in heavens arb0r, and shake
the very drapery around the throne OF
God, but intellect survives" And these
dead leaves, with the thousands of imper-
ishable souls made nobler and purcr than
when they walked the paths of life, will
ever sing the song the angels sung at the
Saviours birth, 'Glory TO God in the
highest, aud on earth peace and goodwill
towards men," And as these soldiers by
their DEATH have done their part, let us
not be unfathful in performing our part in
the service of the country. 1t is often
said that we can promote the cause OF
freedom and humanity by our ex-
ample, and this is most true.
And what should that example be but that
of performing all our national duties
Our love of country and freedom must bt
tested by our devotion to them. Let US
, cultivate the sense of justice and the spirit
+ of liberty, which are the elements of it,
being by disseminating these saving in
, fluences, and by rendering sacred day
/ purchased by the sacrifice of the altar O.
liberty Never as we value the security o
/ our own freedom, never as we value thu
8 welfare and happiness of mankind, neve
, as we value the favor Of just heaven, neve
let us forget to honor those who in dyin
have preserved us nation that stands fore
. most on Gods footstool. Let US ever guar
} this day with vestal vigilance.
