 quently became 8 special partner in successful business enterprises in New York.
 l In 1859 he married the daughter of the
 late Linus Coe in Middletown and went l to that city to reside in 1864. Although l excluded by the authorities from mill l tary service in the war of 1861-65, he l chose to render what service he could in furnishing substitute and in other l ways. He was a member of the New York committee of the United States Christian commission and president of | the Brooklyn (N.Y.)

NOW-lS94,
Come We veterans to our city!
Come We manhood in your prime.
Come We youths in all your glory!
Come ye maidenhood sublime.
Let US all unite in earnest.
And with all our grand display,
Celebr with gleesome measure
San Jacinto's holy day,
Let us think in reverence dearly
OF the past in darker day,
Of the Alamo, surrounded
By the Mexican array.
Think of Travis, Crockett, Bowie,
And of those who were allied,
How that day they fought for freedom -
How in freedoms cause they died.
Let our thoughts turn slowly backward
Unto Goliad'S disaster,
When by force and cruel measures
Mexico became the master.
Think of Fannin and his heroes,
Who fell in murd rous way,
While the God OF vengeance waited
For his own avenging day.
And that day it came full surely
On fair San Jacinto's field,
When gallant Houston led his men
To fight and never yield.
Short the fight, but oh how bloody,
All remembered Alamo,
And the memory of Goliad
Gave force unto the blow.
In the end proud Santa Anna.
And his troops were put to flight,
And great Texas gained her freedom
Long before the coming night,
And in honor she maintained it,
Standing forth both free and great,
With resources that must make her,
What she is, the Empire state.
And today there comes battle,
May such fighting e'er be ours,
Not with sword or deadly bullet
But with the fragrant flowers.
And we all grasp hands in friendship,
That we hope may never cease,
For Texas and old Mexico
Are happy now in peace.
And to the ladies who have worked
To give this mimic fight,
To celebrate the glorious day
And az d to our delight;
Our thanks are due, and yet far more,
For on sweet Natures plan,
When Woman smiles and doth persuade
sAn hero's made of man.
