When the record of the century

Each great and worthy name:
Each ga liant deed. each daring eGt,
Each conquest nobIy won,
Each wonderful achievement.
Each duty SteTnly done
And when this glory's roll in fuh
Snail all Respondent shine.
And laurel wreathes about il all
Harmoniously entwine-
What names will 'mougsu the foremost
stand?
What deeds outrank them all?
What episodes in rraG' or war

And Lincoln, too, and Bismarck,
Gladstone. the Grand Old Man,
Edison aud fair haired Custer
Will surely lead the van.
And Livingston and Stanley, too,

Whov'e earned the pa I'M Of victory
With sword ana brush and pen.
And then. MEETINGS. beside them all
One name viii surely shine
Ill flames oil glorious hight. his own

For he has fought. 4 nd conquering
Made captive foes his friends;
And shown how war. well ordered,
In peaceful triumph ends.
No tutor he. aud yet his Skill
His daring courage, too,
Have taught the races everywhere
What energy can do.
He has shown the world the redskiu,
Who soon mu st pass away;
He has shown the world the lesson
OF savage hordes at play.
He counts his friends b. nations
Worldwide is his renown;
A duke without a CprOnet,
4 king without crown.
A gala Mt man. Il noble man,
As brave as knights of old.

Who is this new Sir Galabad,
This Bayard of to-day?
This peerless prince oT common me-,
