SOME STRIKING CONTRASTS.

Many orators and writers have set forth
many points In which the war for the Union
differed from all others, and yet 1t is not too
late to point out wherein its consequences and
the years following it have diff&-ed from
everything known in previous history. At
the close of the war nearly all foreign critics
predicted, and many Americans feared, GER
tain evil results, such as had followed all pre-
vious civil wars 1t was predicted that the
disbanding Of million men would leave a
fearful element OF vagrancy ahoat; that the
vanouished would renew the conflict at the
first fair opportunity; that the government
credit would sink: that liberty would be de-
stroyed By military methods, and dire evils
Of many kinds follow in the line Of local strife
and guerilla war
How little did these prophets Of evil under
stand the American uatura To say that ths
exact opposite happened IN each case Is too
mild a statement Every evil that has come
differed from the one predicted, and Of all
elements in the population the most conserTa-
tive is that from which innovation and per-
haps revoletion was feared Evils enough
have come, but not from the veterans north
or south, not from the public debt, not from
8 revival Of old issues and most certainly not
from any curtailment Of the citizens per
soDal liberty.
On the contrary, the disbaudsd soldiers
rushed into the ranks Of industry with Sea1
that scanned almost ike greed; and it Is mat
ter Of laughter that, instead of complaint for
their laxity, there Is occasional criticism for
their push. The government credit rose
rapidly TO be the best IN TIE world, and the
surplus national viZor oveT1ored 10 public
enterprises that astOns.hed thu world The
paroIsd Confederatss went n their plants-
tons, Offices and shops With sort Of fiery
eaerEy they had never SHOWN before, and
through eli the southern states the ere q tee
patriot is cheered At sight Of Federal and Con-
federate Ii business partnerships and gensr-
eas rivalry.

cracking 'hard tack" and slipped with gusto
the hot and creamy bean soup, and had
reached the order of proceedings for speeches,
songs and stories Every comrade must re-
spond when called upon, and add to the en-
joyment of the hour by speech, or song, or a
tale Of army life.
There was an awkward gap in the pro-
gramIne, for the last piece had been rather
tedious and no one volunteered to follow it
themselves or ID caii out another. At last
some very small, faint voice, probably that
of a timd son Of veteran hidden back in the
corner, Iisped out the words Commander
Ny" The whole camp firepromptly took up
this idea and stamped and clapped and ex
claimed AYE, aye" The commander blush
ed still redder than before, but he arose
bravely, forced down lump OF two in the
throat and stammeCed out something that
was half apology and half promise.
Il don't know what it will be, boys" no
said, for l have done s good deal of speech
making since you promoted me to the ofics
of commander. There is nothing new to talk
about. l cannot sing any more than frog
can, and as you have called me out l will see
what | can do with a story"
The camp relapsed into quiet under these
words Commander Ny looked over the
audience and gradually gained self control.
His eye finally rested for an instant upon two
of the guests Of the evening, who sat in places
of honor on his right. One was a veteran in
G. A R uniform and the other a lady under
his escort, and VINO from appearance had no
very distant interest la the presiding officer
OF the evening. After regarding these two
for Inoyueht the commander seemed entirely
composed, and then be began this story;

Past and Pu.ure of tn. Veterans.

They thought of the debt they owed 90 the
past, they appreciated the claims that pos
teflty had upon them, and they resolved to
meet the demands of she presant. As citi-
Gems Of the republic, they had Como into q
royal Inheritance. The proud memories and
the gathered trophies Of centuries Of struggle
and triumph were their birthright. For
them others had wrought, suffered and died;
for them Hampden bad faHen ON the fell,
and Cromwell had fought at Marseon Moor;
for them William had filed the throne of the
Stuarts, and Burke had Numbered Ia tho
house Of commons; for them Jefferson had
written the Declaration and Washington had
achieved our Independence Among al the
sons of men never did people coma to so
rich heritage, Others had for brief hour
found springs in the desert; others in their
pilgrimage had set up the tabernacle IN the
wilderness, but only here in this land of prom
ise had the enduring Temple Of Liberty been
erected; hero only had the sacred ark found
resting place.
Comrades of the Grand Army-It pleased
heaven to spare your lives through the war,
and today you see your country crowned
with these years of peace. Some of you
carry silent though eloquent testimonials of
OcVOkiOn 70 OulI. GU bOS1l
from your countrys battle fields, and they
shall be yours until you ''dream Of battle
fields no more" While the past must always
have peculiar interest for you, the duties
of the present claim your first attention 1t
has been with you labor Of love to care for
the orphan and widow Of your deceased com
rades. In this, as in ali works of patriotism
and charity, you have grand ro-enforcements
IN this corps of noble women who are with u
to lend grace and charm TO this occasion
In the darkest hours Of war their fAitA,
courage and constancy never faltered They
were the aids and auxiharies that no gold
could buy; they were ever present as the
faithful ministers OF Nun vino has assured as
that he who keepeth Israel shall neither
slumber nor sleep.
Comrades, be of good cheer. The past 10
secure. The high duties of citizenship in this
great republic demand your constant and I'M
selfish service. The God who protected you
in camp and field and gave you the victory,
stin calls on you to go forward in your high
vocation.
He has sounded forth tho trumpet that shan
never call retreat;
He Is sitting out the hearts Of men before his
Judgments seat.
OF be swift, my soul to answer him, be jubflanN

The Promise to Build Him Magnificent

erect a great mans monument than Ia the

1.-The Grant monument" Is AT once the latest
and most striking case. New York started
out with fervent promise that the structure
should be ENTHUSIASTICALLY Of the
man in every respect" An association was
formed and in due time the announcement
was made that the original scheme was
modihed-a monument costing only s5oo, 00e
would be erected. And ST the date Of the
latest report not quite half that amount had
been raisedl

There only echo notes Of glee,
Where CLEANED a mighty arrny's vanl
Fair Chattanooga wooded slope
With summer airs is lightly stirred,
And many heart is warm with hope
Where once the deep mouthed gun WA
heard
The blue Potomac EtainleSS rolls
And Mission Ridge is gemmed With ferni
On many height sleep gallant souls,
And still the blooming years return
Thank God unseen TO outward eye,
But felt in every freeman's breast,
From graves where fallen comrades lie
Ascends at Natures wise behest
With springing grass and blossoms new,
A prayer to bless the nations life,
To freedoms flower give brighter hue,
And hide the awful stains Of strife.
