eradicate by just and lawful means the
crime and curse of slavery from its place

to put all the people of all the states upon

Careless ease and idle sport,
Left the students clustered halls
In the old, gray college walls,
Left your young love-dreams, dear and sweet
Wars stern front, unblenched TO meet
Oh, the strange and sad amaze
OF those unforgotten days,
When the boys whom we had guided,
Nursed and loved, caressed and chided,
Suddenly, as in night,
Sprang to manhood's proudest height;
And with calmly smiling lips,
As who lifes rarest goblet sips,
Dauntless, with unhurried breath,
Marched to danger and to death

Mrs. DORIS Poem.

Brothers, is this the spot?
Let the drums cease to beat;
Let the tread of marching feet,
With the clash and clang OF steel
And the trumpet's long appeal
Cry of Joy and sob of pain
In its passionate refrain)
Cease awhile,
Nor beguile
Thoughts that would rehearse the story
OF the past's remembered glory
Thoughts that would revive to-day
Stern Wars rude, imperious sway
Waken battles fiery glow
With its ardor and its woe.
With its wild, exulting thrills,
With the rush of mighty wills,
And the strength to do and dare
Born of passion and of prayer,
Let the present fade away,
Aud the splendors of to-day;
For our hearts within us burn
As our glanCes backward turn.
What rare memories awaken
As the tree of life is shaken,
And its stored branches blow
In the winds of long ago!
Do We not remember, brothers,
Ere the war-days how twas said
Grand heroic days were over
And proud chivalry was dead?
Still we saw the glittering lances
Cleaning through the old romances,
Still beheld the watch-fres burning
On the cloudy heights of time;
And from fields that they had won,
When the stormy fight was done
Saw victorious knights returning
Flushed with triumph's joy sublime!
For the light of song and story
Kindled with supernal glory
Plains where ancient heroes fought;
And illumined, with splendor
Rare and magical and tender,
All the mighty deeds they wrought.
Il..s H., III . cd hnft
Long unused had lost its glow
And the sullen war-gods slumbered
Where their altar-tires burned low!
Was the nation dull and sodden,
Buried in material things?
Twas the chrysalis, awaiting
The sure stirring of its wings.
For when rang the thrilling war-cry
Over all the startled land,
And the fiery cross of battle,
Flaming, sped from hand to hand.
Then how Jared it, . my brothers?
Were men false or craven then?
Did they falter?
Did they palter?
Did they question why or when?
Oh, the story shall be told
| Until earth itself is old;
| How from mountain and from glen,
| More than thrice ten thousand men
Heard the challenge of the foe.
| Heard the nations cry OF woe,
| Heard the summoning to arms,
! And the battles loud alarms!
| In tumultuouS surprise,
| Lo, their answer rent the skies;
And its quick and strong heart-thrills
Rocked the everlasting hills!
Forth from blossoming fields they sped
| To the fields with carnage red -
Left the plowshare standing stills
| Left the bench, the forge, the mill,
| Left the quiet walks of trade
| And the quarry's marble shade,
| Left the pulpit and the court,

of the citizens who stood for the unity of
their country other or further than an in
tense dislike of rebellion prosecuted for
the perpetuation of human slavery, and the
hatred, then and now, of cruelty, tyranny
and oppression. | pray that such senti-
ments may continue earnest and active in
the hearts and minds of men, for they are
inseparable from the love OF truth and Jus.
tice and liberty. 1t was the inspiration of
such sentiments that led the Vermonters
and the patriots of other states to this great
battlefield, and our memorial to them will
not be complete until such sentiments are
realized in the fullest sense in every part of
the republic.
To the memory of those of our citizens
who fell here in the critical battle of the
war, or those who fell on other fields of
those who persisted in the line Of duty any
where, and to the honor Of those who still
survive the great contest, our sturdy and
steadfast state erects this shaft, formed
from the granite of her own Green Noun
tains and surmounted by the bronze image
of one of her heroic sons who commanded
her troops on this field. Long may it stand
secure, with its associated monuments not
only as a memorial of heroic deeds for lib
erty and justice and true republican govern
ment, but az an inspiration to us and to all
who shall come after us in future time to
devote themselves, against whatever temp
tations and in spite OF whatever peril and
adversely, to the defense and extension of
liberty, justice and equal rights among
men. Thus there will be always for our
country-and we may hope in the not far
future for every other--a career whose ways
are ways of pleasantness and all whose
paths are peace.

THE NEW RKPUBLIo.

A Hopeful View Expressed by ahe
Brazilian Minister at Washington.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
WAsHINaToN, Nov. 20.-Dr. Valente,
the Brazilian minister, has not yet been
officially requested to ask the United
States government to recognize the
United States of Brazil. He believes
that such request will not be made i'm
mediateiy, but that the new government
will wait reasonable length OF time in
order to satisfy the world of its stability
before seeking formal recognition.
The minister regards the views OF the
dominant Republicans as set forth in
their manifesto as most reasonable in all
respects, and as they have assumed all of
the obligations and debts OF the empire
and have guaranteed the fullest measure
OF protection and personal liberty to the
citizeng of other nations residing in
Brazil, as we'll as security to their vested
interests, he cannot sse any excuGs for dis
satisfaction abroad at the recent change.
In his view constitutional convention
must be assembled in Brazil at .he
earliest possible moment. This body
will probably readjust the boundaries or
representation of the twenty existing
provinces, which vnry largely in size and
density of population. The senate will
also have to be reconstructed. Its aboli-
tion az the first act of the revolutionists
has been misunderstood as tending
towards despotism. Az matter of fact,
said DR.. valente, it was liberal moys-
ment as will be understood when it is
generally known that the senators under
the old regime were elected for
life and it has been asserted,
did not always continue to reflect
the views Of their constituents.
The minister also looks forward to the
extension OF the right Of suffrage
by the constitutional convention. At
present, in addition to tho ordinary re-
quirements of age, &C., the voter must
| be possessed of an income OF not less
than 5000 per snnum. This requirement
| has been literally construed, yet there is
demand for it's abolition.
Because of the mixed character of the
population Of Barzil, the minister be-
| lieyes that IL world hardly be wise to
have unrestricted suffrage present but
fayors the imposition OF requirement
that after period of four years from tho
date OF the adoption of the new constitu-
ton, voters must ut least be able to write
their names or read. This he believes
would stimulate popular education and
cause the uneduested people to avail
themselves of the free schools whicn al
ready abound in Brazil.
Altogether DR., Vslente takes hopeful
view of the situation. g 1t is not the de-
strnotion of the building" said he, but
rather renovation"

The usual weekly meeting of the

tended yesterday evening. At 7:45
O'Clock there were but twenty-five people
present and not to pass the buck with.
out call, Mr.. Robert More advanced to
the Presidents chair and called the
meeting to order. On motion of Mr..
Godfrey Mr.. More was made temporary
chairman, after W hich the usual routine
business was transacted. There were NO
members proposed or elected.
Under the usual head the chairman
proposed that collection be. made
toward defraying the current expenses.
Mr.. Godfrey suggested, in aid thereof,
that the organization being now out OF
debt the call for voluntary contribution
was only just and in accord with the first
principles of the Union.
Secretary Stone objected to such con-
tributions, stating that money could
always be obtained when necessary.
Mr.. Godfrey said that that was the
first knowledge which he had had of a
sack" being open to the Union.
Secretary Stone replied that "there was
a sack" and his opponet in argument
subsidized.
The meeting soon afterward adjourned /;
