Mrs. PreSidcnt--For me to make Il
speech or set address on an occasion like
the present would certainly be unwar-
rantable and exceedingly out OF place, MS
| would not presume to occupy the time
that belongs TO those who have laborcd
with you.irom the very beginning OF this
society, yet | am most happy To have
the privilege of saying that during the
two wears that | have md the honor and
pleasure OF working with you, AS secre-
tary of the Organization, they have been
wears of earnest effort and successful
labor on your part. We have always
recognized you as our leader in every
new enterprise and aggressive move
ment, and now, we ask, on whom viii
your mantle fall? Alas! Alas! No
one can take your place; no one "an do
the work you could do; 10 one can have
your influence; no one can be hunorcd
and loved rs you have been, and our
grea. cry tonight is, chow can
we let thee go?' But there is
never cloud without lis silver
lining, and the only silver lining TO the
"Women'S Temperance Union" in this
sad hour of parting with you, is the
grand old "war horse" in this good
cause-Thomss Hornbrook, Esq. You
know. Mrs. President, what lie has been
in the past. What could we have done
without his wise counsel, prompt and
energetic assistance? How could we
have accomplished so much successful!
work without his aid? Truly, he has
been constant IN season and out of sea
son." He, too, talks of going away, but
he can never 90 beyond the reach OF the
Women's Temperance Union. And
now, Mrs. President, permit me to
breathe the prayer that wherever you
90, you may ind as true, woman-heartcd
and loving friends as you have in
Wheeling, and after the "lltt.e Will"
we shall all be reunited.
Beyond the smiling and the weeping,
Beyond the waking and the sleepin-,
Beyond the sowing and the reapi z,
Beyond the blooming and ;he fading,
Beyond the Sh ming and the shading,
Beyond the hoping and the drcading,
Beyond the gathering aud the strrwing,
Beyond the cbolng and the lOwing,
Beyond the com. ng and the going.
Beyond the parting and the meeting,
Beyond farewell and greeting.
Beyond this public'S lever beating,
Beyond the frost chain aud the fever,
Beyond the rock waste and the river,
Beyond the ever aud the never,
to give cease, ess alteration unto him who
SO loved US rs to die for Us. Now in the
name of the Women temperance Union,
| bid you kind, loving, yet sorrowtul
farewell.
