THE FEDERATION.
Upon thy altar, o land of our
love and pride and hope. what offer
ings have been laid. Before thy
shrine, Q Liberty, what costly liba-
tions have been poured. And thy
sons that went out in thy d. tense,
0 Liberty, radient in the pride and
strength of manhood-where sleep
they-where sleep they not
"Their graves are sev'red far and wide"
"By mount and stream and sea-"
The monotones Of the ocean
sound an eternal requium for some.
\ thousand sparkling streams muir.
muir soft mnic as they flow, flashing
in the sunlight, by the graves of
others. Some are laid beneath the
whispering pines !; some beneath
the lanrel shade some where the
fnnereal cypress droops, US in sor-
row above them some beneath
the dark oak boughs some by the
slumbering bayous, where the
wafer lilies bloom some in the
deep forests, where the wild birds
build their nests some on lonely
hillsides, where nightly the dew
drops sparkle above them some
in the coral groves OF the oceans
depths.
1t matters little to them where
now they resi-. Falling beneath
thy banner, 0 Liberty, they have
made hallowed each lowly ted, and
when, in the great hereafter, the
70 | OF thy sons is called their names
viii be sounded.
1t were long though grateful
ask. should ! attempt to name
even the most iilust~ious of those
who from 1861 to 1865, from the
forefront of battle passed to i'm
mortality. Grateful history will
'ecord their names, and through
coming ages, they will glisten with
never fading lustre. But there is :,
me name which, without invidious
distinction, l may pronounce-one
lame dearer than all others to the
American p, ople-dear to he pure
nd noble of all lands. Need T
that name, our glorious
lincoln? our great leader, our
aighty Captain.
With a spirit pnre ami lofty as {

ursued the fixed purpose of his c
restoration of the Union, \
le maintenance of national in =
'grity. l need not mention his .
anne, and the deep promptings of b
our own hearts will be his sub
NEST eulogy. Patriot, leader,
artyr, it is cot for human lips to
,eak the measure OF thy worth, or

we when danger pressed us hard to

tears.
If faith triumphant DER our fears,
e all with thee-are all with thee.o
