of the pain, suffering and sickness in hospitals, of the anguish and suspense and heartbreaking of the millions of dear ones at home, and of the billions of treasure wasted in this sacrifice be- fore the altar of war; all offered up in this great and holy devotion to Human Liberty.
 Then the long years of reconstruc- tion, and the building up the new dis pcnsation upon what we have now en- tered and are so largely enjoying, the disputes, wrangles and animosities of the politicians and high officials in their earnest studies to carry out the principles of the Constitution, can now hardly be realized, and the mysteries of finance and like subjects have often batfled our wisest councillors. It was from such tribulations that our fair country has in it's second century of life emerged, and we stand proud of her honor and greatness to-day, and the old flag that so proudly we hailed, has alone unscathed and unsullied through those wrecks of political ambitions and selfish desires, and to-day floats "Old Glory" over a united people, and in every quarter of the globe.
 Amid the hurrying duties of our dai ly lives we pause by common consent to observe a day in the memory of those, who, twO-scOre years ago, joined the ranks to save the union, and turn with sorrowful steps, and mOurnful faces, yet with grateful hearts, to the little grass covered homes of those who gave their lives that the nation might live. Those who caring more for cOun- try, than for home, kindred and loved ones, went out into that great storm of death, and met it bravely. They helped stem the great torrent of strife that threatened liberty, life and the pursuit of happiness and went down overwhelmed by it's impetuous rush, and came not back again in life, but came in death wrapped in the folds of that banner they loved so we'll and for which they gave their lives. And you placed them with honor in these silent homes of the dead.
 And we meet. here to-day in the midst of these little mounds.and have placed upon them the flag for which they have suffered and died, and with 1 that flag as a token of our love for f their memory the symbols of natures returning life. Well we know that no act of ours can warm this pulse of the sleeper, or bring him to us again, but it does each one of us good to remem- Der the heroism and Ivalor we thus memorabilia, and we can upon these altars rededicate ourselves to the great cause for which they fought, and

patriotic statesman of the nation.
 We had watched with anxious minds for years the power of slavery, it grad ual supremacy over freedom, the Kan SIS troubles, the fugitive slave law, the disputes and violence in National Con-
 gress, the threats and buster of the Southern press, the fawning acquies- cence of Northern Doughfaces, of John Brown at Harper's Ferry, the with draWal of state after state from the National Councils, the formation of a new federation within our own borders, the mastering of troops, the assemb- ling of munitions of war with hostile and earthworks, and the pointing of grim mOuthed cannon through the embraSures toward a beleaguered
 starving garrison of sixty men, and yet amid all of these pOrtentiOuS threaten ings of the cloud rolling up so gloomlly before us, we still hoped and hoped that the good Providence that thus far had guided, would still guide and save from the dire calamties of cruel war.
 It was not so to be. That Sunday morning gun of April 12, 1861, was the opening of such an epoch as history had never before recorded. That Sab- bath celebration of roaring cannon, and shrieking shells and lurid flames, was fitting prelude of years that fol- lowed. We cannot drop that sublime deathleSs overture about and around Sumpter's three-score heroes. Events followed events in rapid succession. The gathering of volunteers, the kill ing of Ellsworth, the amusing farce of Bull Run. the skirmishes in West Nir- ginia, the surrender of Fort Donelson, the bloody field of Shiloh, the great tiZZle of the Peninsula campaign, the daring bravery of Antietam, the duel of the irOncladS at Newport News, the carnage at Fredericksburg. the long and tiresome siege and Surren- der of Nicksburg, the high water mark at Gettysburg, the capture of | New Orleans, the Red River campaign, the drama of the opening of the Miss issippi, the march by the left flank from the Wilderness to Petersburg, and from A tlanta to the sea, the re. treat from and burning of Richmond
 the surrender at AppOmat toX, and the horrible and fitting close of the trage- dy by the assassination of President Lincoln; all of these are only the more distinct shades gathered upon the sen. Sitive plate of our historical camera
 Hardly less positive are the deaths of 300, ,0Oo of sturdy men upon the great battletields, of the maiming and wound. ing of more than One-half million others in the defence of the old flag,

 More than 10 years have passed, since in the dim morning light of Charles ton harbOr, the flashing of that open ing gun announced that the irrepreSSi- ble conflict had begun, and it's cchOing boom over that fair bay, was taken up by the lightning wires and proclaimed to the world that hot headed treason had appealed to arms for the arbitri- ment and solution of all the varied questions that had for long, long years worried and troubled so deeply every

whose valor perpetuated, and the fruits of which we now enjoy.
 More than 50,OOO, 900 of people are to- day engaged in this sacred ceremony, and the graves of more than 800, 1000 of the boys in blue, who have been mus tered out will have had their last rest ing places decorated by loving kindred and friends, and while our own partic- ular service is small and limited, the this act furnishes are valuable ones to all.
 For 34 years this duty has been year. ly observed and no rite has ever been so willingly accepted by an entire people, or more universally approved. and it has become a great national affair, legalized aud hallowed. And to you, my veteran comrades, what great lessons are brought home! We know that soon our own time will certainly come. to be the occupants of one of these little narrow houses, that we, too, will be remembered as a de- | fender of the Union, and our memory become precious inheritance to some one. That the Stars and Stripes will float over our mortality, famed by the fair breezes, that the green grass will be our mantle, that bright flowers may { bloom above us. So may we live and act that when our summons comes from the great Commander we may lie down as to a restful sleepI and pleasant dreams, and be mustered into that great army, where there is neither war or rumors of war, into that Peace that passeth understanding. | And now in soldiers visions
 Our wondering eyes beholds l A phantom army marching,
 It's length ming lines unfold: 1 Its numbers still increasing | Recruiting without ceasing, | And soldier ne'er releasing, | No furlough from this fold. It marches to no music Nor fife, nor drum appears It marches to no conflict Of blood and woe and tears: l All silently enlisting | Tho naught but peace existing. | All hOpelessly resisting With none of war-bred fears
 Our leaves of absence granted | We'll muster in anew, 1 And join this spirit army, For silent grand review. | Our glorious chieftains standing | Beside the Great, commanding | The never more disbanding | Grand armies of the blue.'
