where you raise another you are raised.
The bronze statue in Boston repre-
SCENTS Lincoln as STOPPING to the slave
who crouches with broken letters at
his feet. Who but the slave raised
Lincoln to that pedestal? And this
shaft raised here that the names of the
| men who fought for the rights of their
brothers should not be forgotten, shall
last when all the other interests have
crumb1ed to the dust aud shall bear
lasting fame to it's donor, the Hon. Z.
G.. Simmons.
"God and the heart of man says:
''He that stoops the lowest shall be
raised the highest To die is to gain"
It is the lesson of the fading leaf and
the dying grain,
II deem the man to be most truly grand,
Who, climbing, leaves the fewest friends
behind.
But finds in love a brighter, fairer fame,
Than lights the lonely peaks of barren fame. .
The speaker then turned to Miss
Simmons and in presenting the box of
records to her said: Gin behalf of the
men whose memory we keep green
present you this box for deposit"
Miss Simmons then placed the box in
the receptacle and the simple cere-
monies closed with the entire crowd
joining in a mighty chorus singing
America.
The complete list of the contents of
the box was as follows:
