provisional prolongation of the Aus

could not accept the resolution OF
Francis Kossuth. demanding the es-

The government. nevertheless. the
premier continued, desired to give
Austria time to recover herself and did
not wish to create a state of confusion,
the harmful consequences of which
were incalculable. The present bill did
not infringe upon Hungary's rights and
interests, and he added that the gov

attempts similar to those Of the reich
srath to prevent its becoming law.
This remark caused an uproaT.

cause has now forever been removed.
The north and south are one: and
We're wars dread sounds to reyerber-
ate throughout the land again, the
nations flag would find in those who
wore the gray defenders justa as brave
as those who wore the blue. The
north and south are one. Distrust
and factious strife no more shall sep
arate the men who ever should be
friends. Across the nations sky is
stretched, and let us trust it ever will
remain, the bow of lasting peace.
The bravest men, both north and
south, the men who never flinched
when danger stared them in the face,
now often meet in harmony and
peace and pledge anew a friendship
that we trust shall never more be
broke !. From out the fires of war
where persisted slavery, the great
and leading cause of all the strife,
has come our nation purified and free.
The north and south are one; nay,
better still, there is no north nor
south, but one united nation, strong
in the love and valor of her sons.
strong in the faith that time will heal
all wounds and bring to every nook
and corner of our land the blessings
of a just and righteous government;
strong in the hope that these United
States, in all that makes for greatest
good of man, will always lead the
world.

tiny mounds beneath which rests
their sacred dust, to bloom with
choicest, rarest gifts of spring. Go
stand among the silent dead-among
the graves of those who, when alive,
thought life itself too small sacri-
flee when country calls for duty
and there resolve that peace shall be
maintained, that victory's fruits shall
be preserved, that justice always
