ing you an extract from tho article.
with the full poem, which / havo car,

It is worthy of record that this son
OF tho south produced the one perfect
and universal martial onlogy that tho
world hss known aud that tho south
has been absolutely unmindful Of this
fact. Tho first of these statements is
proven by tho fact that without any
advertisement or oxploitations, tho
wonderful words have, in tho fifty
years sinoo thoy were wilton, per.
meated tho wlols world, end boon laid
hold on by EoRlish.spesking people
everywhere, to celebrate their honored
dead who passed away in battle. Upon
Orimean batllefelds, tho, roating place
Of English heroes is marked bya great
monument, on which shines O'Hara's
malchless words, and yot England did
not know from whom she borrowed
when sho wrote them:
"On fame's eternal camping ground ~
Tbeir silent tents are spread,
And glory guards, with so, emn round,

appropriate but the only appropriate
