be long remembered by the thousands
of people who packed the streets along

Of the warlike host which marched in
all the pride of strength and youth in
yesterdays parade. there was some
thing pathetic in the thinned out ranks
of the veterans who marched today
which touched the hearts Of all who
saw them. Bowed with the weight Of
years. worn out and weary. but ami
mated by the fires of an unquenching
spirit, this remnant Of a mighty host
which had carved out victory for the
republic on the hardest fought battle
fields the world has ever known,
marched proudly along. the last of an
unconquered band of heroes.
Proudly They Marched.

as makers Of history in this country

might be. Proudly they marched, with
the battle flags waving above the
marks of shot and shell in many a
fierce fray: comrades together now as
they were then. With military pre-
cision these old soldiers of Antietam.
