preston -o the grief which bad so jeu.g
ovo-V hcmed The hearts ol f1e people Ar
the very haar to-day Wien the solemn
cortege accompanying ihe mortal remains
Of the great soldier shall march - the spot
selected for his last resting-place, our own
citizens will assemble and move in mourn
ful procession, amid the toiling Of bells, the
ominous booming of cannon and the soft
roll of mutiied drums, 70 give testimony Of
the deep sorrow in their hearts at the loss
Of him whose patriotism and peerless quail
tiles as q soldier ceuented the crumblinc
fragments Of the Union and crystaliZed
them anew into a nation stronger and
mightier than the old. While we cannot
look upon the tomb Itself, nor participate
directly in the sad duty OF laying to rest
all that is earthly OF the dead hero,
we can at least be there in spirit From
minister, and rabbi, and priest, and lay
man, we shall to-day hear spoken of the
valiant dead words that VIII bring our
| thoughts back from the world, and quicken
within us z sense Of the great debt Of love
and gratitude that we owe 10 the memory
of Grant; and ne must indeed be void OF
patriotism and Christian sen timent who
viii not be impressed with the full sensi-
! bility OF the occasion. Not only here on
the westernmust confines Of the continent.

to-day but all over the Union VIII there be
heard ringing eulogies Of him whose valor
has shed such luster on the pages OF our
nation 5 history. The gray and the blue
Will each vie with the other IN doing honor
to his memory and worth
a. Then still bend low thy pines, O, North
o, south, wave answer with thy palm
All in the nation jubilee,
Together sing the nations psalm.
