Against the alien baynmrt
Their hnmvspun breasts in that old day
Their feet had trudden peaceful ways
They loved not strife. they dreaded pain;
They saw not what Il" us is plain
That ti"d would make mans wrath his praise.

Its vast results the future hid
The meaning "f the work the, did
Was strange and dark and doubtful then

The pillow nIid-turrow standing still.
The halt-ground corn-rrist i'll the mill
The spade i'll earth, the AK i'll cleft
They went where duty seemed To- call.
They scarcely asked the reason why:
They only knew they could but die
And death not the worst nf all
Oi man for man the sacrifice
Instainrd 10y blood, save theirs they gave.

Have S"wn themselves beneath all skies

And shattered slavery chain a. we'll

ASH WEDNESDAY,
rs Celebration Yesterdav.

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, and Masses
were celebrated in all our Catholic churches
The ashes were blessed before the earliest Mass,
and afterwards the ancient custom OF putting the
sign Of the cross the foreheads OF the faithful
was observed. This ceremony consists in the
priest dipping his thumb into plate OF blessed
ashes and then making the forehead ofthe faith
full, kneelng at the altar railing, the sign of the
cross, saying in Latin the words, "Remember
man, thou art but dust and unto dust thou shalt
turn" In the early ages Of the Church there was
considerable disputation to the time of celebrat
ing Easter, which ie a movable feast. The Western
and Eastern churches were divided on the sub
Jeot, and considerable embarrassment was con-
stantly arising as consequence. 1t was finally
settled that Easter Day should be celebrated on
the hrst Sunday after the full moon which hap
pens upon or next after the 2lst OF March. As
this year there is full moon On the 2lst of
March, and that day will be a Sunday, the Eas-
ter festival Will be celebrated on the next en-
Wednesday falls upon the 10th Of February and
Easter this year occurs within six DAYS OF the
earliest period upon which the festival eau be
celebrated according to the law which Regulates
its place on the calendar. The earliest date on
which 1t can occur is the 22d Of March the latest
the 25th Of April. In lT6l and 1918 Easter fell on
the I'D Of March, but this cannot happen again
until the next century, when, in 1913 It will fall
on the 23d Of March. In 1856 Easter will occur on
the 18th Of April and the latest date for the next
century will be In l943 on the 25th Of April Thus
ii may be seen that the extreme limits are seldom
reached, q fact which shows the extraordinary
exactitude with which the data used in fixing the
time for Its celebration were calculated upon

The LATE HAMILTON SMITH.
His Obseuuies Yesterday.


The remains Of the late Hamilton Smith were
yesterday placed in a vault in Oak Hill cemetery.
The funeral took place from the residence of
Judge Key, in Georgetown. The paII-bearers
were Judge Niblack, Of Indiana; Mr. Beck, OF
Kentucky; DIR. BrOdhead, General Vincent: Gen.
eral Dunn, Dr. Lindsey, DR.. Peter Parker and
Judge Weed. His two eldest sons, Hunting ton
Smith ard Ballard Smith, OF the Louisville
Courier. Journal, arrived in season TO be present
at the funeral. Mr.. Smith was for many years
one Of the leading lawyers OF the West, and dur
ing that time q prominent citizen OF Louisville
He was born in New Hampshire in 1904, and grad
uated from Dartmouth College in 1872 with high
honors. he was associated in college with Chief
Justice Chase, and they were lifelong friends.
On leaving college Mr.. Smith came to Washing.
ton, and lived here for several years. He studied
law under William Writ and Levi W God bury AMI
in 1882 entered upon legal practice in Louisville
In fifteen years practice he accumulated a hand
an extensive tract Of coal land at CanneltOn, H.
diana, and In 1851 he removed to that point and
entered largely Into manufacturing operations,
establishing cotton mills. &c. He encouraged an
assisted the operatives In obtaining homes, so
that, unlike most other manufacturing towns, the
laboTers there are thrifty, honest, sober and in-
dustrious. There never has been a strike in the
mill or coal mines connected with them. While
seldom taking an active part in politics, Mr..
Smith has been held In high esteem BY the great
party leaders OF the nation. He was q deleg ate
70 the Chicago convention which nominated Nc
Slelan In 1884, and in 1865 he was present a. the
new YORK Democratic convention as the c0nfiden-
uaIlIlend Of Chief Justice Chase, and was under
$1,000 70 pc and acted as the exponent Of that
stAIesmsh's views and sentiments In the discus-
hOns anterior 10 the meeting Of the convention as
70 the most available candidate to be adopted by
me party. During the recent Senatorial election

LOVE AND MARRIAGE.
Mrs. Le Fevre's Second Lecture.

Mrs. Mary T. lie Fevre has succeeded in disap-
pointing two audiences in this city within a very
short period. The first disappointment was on
the occasion Of the Lincoln hall lecture-"Our
Great Mistake"-to listen to which a very full
audience had assembled, in the belief that it was
to be a purely literary effort, but instead Of
which IL was dissertation upon social theories.
Last night an audience numbering probably
three hundred, about one fifth of whom were
ladies, attended Odd Fellows hall, with the evil
dent expectation of hearing some ultra ideas
enunciated by Mrs. LIE FeVre on the subject OF
"Love and Marriage;" but they went home
had sufficient intelligence to appreciate the lee.
turC-sOme of them had Dot-agreeably disap-
pointed. The tone of portions of the lecture was
somewhat in the nature of an explanation of her
previous effort and she took occasion to emphati-
cally deny that she advocated either free love in
the general acceptatiOn Of the term, or the abro-
CATION OF statutory laws on the subject Of mar
rage.
The idea of her lecture was to show that under
that freedom of love- which is the only true
and honest concomitant OF the marriage VOW;
that instead Of loye-lust, desire for wealth,
fame and social distinction were the elements
which entered into the union, and of necessity as
a rule they proved unhappy and resulted after the
