able, on tho islands of the Atlantic or Pa
cinc;. and our brother, beloved and re-
spected, fatally stricken by disease,
died at his post of duty and went to his
grave clad in his soldiers uniform.
Moreover. he died a Christian; he died
as n soldier of the cross He remem-
bered his creator. he professed to be one
of the disciples of Gods only begotten
Son; he died under the American flag,
and under the hlood-stained banner Of the
cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let Dewey,
Sampson and Schley, let Miles. Shafter
and Merritt have the honor due them;
but as for us, we are proud to honor the
boys. too; the boys in the rank and file,
who endured priyation, become victims OF
disease and many of whom, like Brother
Tubbs, have died in the discharge of duty.
All honor to our faithful and heroic
young men.
When General Grant visited Hamburg,
he attended a banquet in his honor, and
was spoken of as having saved his coun-
cry. But Grant replied: II must dissent
from one remark, that 1 saved the coun-
try during the recent war" If our coun-
try could be saved or ruined by any one
man, we should not have country, and
we should not now be celebrating our
Fourth OF July. If had never held COM
mand. II had fallen, If all our generals
had fallen, there were ten thousand be-
hind us who would have done our work
just as well.
What saved the Union was the coming
forward of the young men. So long as
our young men are animated by this
spirit there will be no fear for the Union.
To close n meeting of this nature we can
do nothing better than to sing the ma
tional anthem, MY Country 'Tis of Thee,
Sweet Land of Liberty" etc. And may
we all be loyal to our creator and coun-
try.

HER POINT OF VIEW.

He was a soldier boy going home on
a furlough. The car was rather full as
IT pulled out of Philadelphia, and the
soldier boy had a large and interested
audience which he entertained in a
loud, healthy tone. A Scranton resi-
dent who happened to be in the vicn-
ity had her attention attracted by the
remark: "Yes stree, DR.. Parke is
about the best doctor in Scranton, but
he can't doctor when he hasn't got any
thing to doctor with" which statement
seemed to make an impression on his
listeners. AS he left the train at a sta
tion several miles up this way, the
passengers heard him vociferously de-
clare to a group of girls: mo, I
haven't got single button that I dare
spare off my clothes. I did have a
couple of dozen. but the girls along the
line got 'em."
