Since lS6l very many of the import
ant stations in life military, civil, poll

and theological, have been filled by
men who are now known as reteraRs.

power from our falling hands, and
with the vlgor of youth, and pride OF
liberty, bear IL alOft and MAINTAIN the
Union against all enemies, whether
they come with clamor for states
rights, come as did the >cccsSlOnests OF
earlier years, or come Is enemies from
foreign country, battling for anarchy,
or for other wrong ideas.
When these great duties and respOn-
sibillties shall be yours, we, who shall
have played our parts III the drama OF
life, and are so soon to be hidden by
the changing scenes of busy events, can
go 10 resi-, feeling doubly assured that
all viii be we'll and safe III your loyal
hands.
Thanking you sincerely for the atten-
ton and courtesy that you nave so
kindly extended To me, l bid you God
speed.
The address of Capt. Gavett was
