knowledgement of the great element of our national declaration was fully set up that all men are born free and equal. This is the rock upon which we have all ready erected the sublimest structure the world has ever seen, and upon it we ex- pect to stand until the heavens shall roll together as scroll. But, at what a cost! ]! billion of dollars and million of lives
 In the midst of the great commotion we all trembled and complained often, but now, since all has become calm, we phil osophize upon the tendency of the past. In the midst of the great struggle many of our leading statesmen saw nothing but an inundation of that for which we had been struggling for more than fifty years to build up. Even many of those who were foremost to escape the corruptions of those in high places were alarmed at the effect of their own work, and predict ed far greater things than those which came to pass But the struggle falling in with public opinion went on, error after error was obliterated from our land, and to-day there is not an enlightened mind north or south that does not thank God with full heart for the terrible struggle as the means of purifying both parties and restoring true liberty to our land.
 I know the rebellion was the occasion of great miseries, high crimes; but. after all, it prepared the way for something mo- bier and grander. By the sharp discipline through which we were called to pass many of those noble minds were formed, such as Grant and Shel man and Sheridan, on whose constancy and heroism history delights to dwell, and to whose memories we confer and will continue to confer the richest gems with which God has crowned our earth.
 Nobly hast thou done, ye sons of Staf- ford, and nobly art thou doing to-day in paying this tribute of respect to your fall en heroes. By the decoration of the graves, where rest the remains of those you love, you speak in language loud of your high appreciation and Gods love. For in these flowers I see the goodness of Him who loveth us even unto the end. In their beauty and fragrance and endless variety we behold the boundless benevo- fence of Deity and in the graves where sleep the brave we behold union and l1b- erty, and these are the among the crown ing works of God.
 Nobly did I say you were doing in strewing these graves with flowers, yet l would have you remember
 There are graves, yon trees beneath,
 Bear no roses, wear no wreaths;
 Yet no more, high and warm,
 Ever dared the battle storm.
 Never gleamed there prouder eyes,
 In the front of victory,
 Never feet had firmer tread,
 On the field where hope lay dead,
 Than are hid within those tombs,
 Where the intended grasses bloom,
 And no stone with feigned distress
 Mocks the sacred loneliness.
 Youth and beauty dauntless will,
 Dreams that life ne'er fulf1l,-
 There lie buried there in peace,
 Wrongs and woes have found release.

Physicians are strongly advising bicycle riders to sit as erectly as possible upon their wheels. The stooping position as- sumed by some riders, especially those who arc facing, does not allow the ready expansion of the lungs, and is liable to cIamp the large arteries, thereby increas- ing the labors of the heart to. anrun- healthy extent.

THE frequency of accidents at the grade railway crossings in Stafford excite alarm and cause some agitation for protection in the shape of flag men or of bridges. Within not distant period of time three horses and one man have been killed on the four crossings next above the sta- tion. The risk is too great. Some of the sufferers allege, and have witnesses ready to fortify their allegations, that their mis- fortune comes from lack of the required signals of the approaching train.
