Not all alike are high on the scroll OF
fame. How many lands mourn their buried
dead. Spain has lost Alphonso, her King,
and Serrano, her greatest military com.
mander. France and the world of letters
mourn Victor Hugo, the champion Of .
broad humanity. England has lost the chris
tian soldier, Gordon, and Stewart, one of her
greatest generals. America, two of her giant
statesmen, Toombs and. Hendricks. Other
names among the nations Of the earth whose
careers have closed within the past year,
will be held in grateful remembrance for
their deeds of valor and renown.
And so il ever has been and will be.
Whatever walks Of usefulness we may tread,
however high the rugged hills of fame we
may ascend, there is power that journeyeth

genius, nor station can oppose safeguard
II pierces all DISCUSSES, II reaches its pre-.

But it is a power, nevertheless they can
not take all, dust returns to dust, but the
achievements of intellect and the excellent
adornings Of the heart live in their bright
ness to irradiate the pathway of generations
to come, live in their sweet and hallowed
influences TO bless and guide the multitudes
