WOODBURY.
 Delivered by William Cothren at Beth lehem, July 4, 1890, on the occasion of dedieating the Bellamy monument: Go back with our fathers, and old scenes re-
 view, And picture the sight so grand and so new, AS they stood on this spot in the dim far away And rejoiced in the light ot the bright Summer
 day.
 How solemn, how silent, how lovely the scene; 1; A succession of hills; wilderness of green; succession of wales; succession Of rins; And 8 sweet flowing stream at the foot of the
 hills;
 A vision of beauty met their gaze in the wales; The breath Of pure spring-time was borne on
 the gales,
 And the forest clad mountains with their ev-
 ergreen trees, Enchanted the eye, as they swayed in the
 breeze.
 The earth has grown old for tull many year, Since that people of God came to worship Him
 here,
 And the graves are moss grown of that sturdy
 old stock,
 Who prayed in their Bethel,-the shade of the fOGk. But we find here the foot prints of worthies, who trod
 This region of promise to the people of God; And find where they prayed, mid the valleys aud rills And e'en on the tops of the verdure-clad hills Those days are long passed, but we review them again, And note all their changes, inc pleasures and pain, Tie hopes and the triumphs, the sorrows and fears, And all that so filled the swift gliding years l As the days of old time have passed swiftly away, l We have steadily neared the bright coming Now we stand at the zenith, the noon-day ol | life, l In the midst of the years with grand vic'tries ! rife. l We have come here with reverence in the l mild summer day, I And set up our pillar at the parting of tn ways; l Or rather, we may say, with remembrance We have set mp our pillar where the four ways I meet. We have finished the work we so fondly be a gun, I Our memorials erected, our labor is done. As we go to our homes. may it ever be given I That our lives and our labors meet the ap sl proval of Heaven.
