 It appears that a less number than usual of our comrades have been sum moned for final review the past year. But few as they were, they were some of our best. We salute them at this hour. The regiment is slowly forming upon the plains of eternity. How long will it be-what will it be when we are all assembled there?

 sweet increase,
 Fail not, while Nature on her tender
 bosom,
 Folds them and whispers, Peace!"
