both knew how to use liberty temperately
and how to defend it at need that we and
our children and our Children'S children shall
hold you in honor forever. Here, on Me-
mortal day. on this great battlefield. we
commemorate not only the chiefs who ac-
tually won this battle; not only Meade and
his heutenants. Hancock and Reynolds and
Howard and SiCkleS, and the many others
whose names flame in our annals: but also
The chiefs who had made the Army of the
Potomac what it was. and those who after
ward led 1t In the campaigns which were
/ crowned at AppOmattaX; and furthermore
those who made and used it's sister armies:
Mcclellan, with his extraordinary genius
for organization; Rosecrans; Buell.; Thomas,
the unyielding. the steadfast; and that
great trio, Sherman. Sheridan. and last and
soldier whose hammer-like blows finally
beat down even the prowesS of the men
who fought against him.
Above all We meet here to pay homage
10 the officers and enlisted men who served
and fought and died, without having, as
their chiefs had, the chance to write their
names on the tablets of fame; to the men
who marched and fought in the ranks, who
were buried in long trenches the field
OF battle. who died in cots marked only by
numbers In the hospitals; who, If they
lived, when the war was over. went back
each to lbs task on the farm or in the
town, to do his duty in peace as he had
done IL In war: to take up the threads of
his working life where he had dropped
them when the trumpets of the nation
pealed to arms. Today all over this land
our people meet to pay reverent homage
to the dead who died that the nation
might live: and We pay homage also to
thSir comrades who are still with u.s.
All are at one now, the sons of those
who wore the blue and the sons of those
who wore the gray. and all can unite in
paying respect to the memory of those
who fell, each of them giving his life for
his duty as he saw it; and all should he
at one In learning from the deaths OF
these men how TO live usefully while the
times call for the performance of the
countless necessary duties OF everyday life
and how to hold ourselves ready to de
noby should the nation ever again de-
mand of her sons the ultimate proof of
loyalty.

he chosen sons of the north and the south.

The chosen sons of the north and the south,
the east and the west.
The armies which on this field contended
for the mastery were veteran armies. hard
ened by long campaigning and desperate
fighting into such instruments of war as no
other nation then possessed The severity OF
the lighting Is attested by the proportionote
loss-a loss unrivaled In any battle OF SINH
lar size since the close of the Napoieonlc
struggles: a loss which in certain regi-
ments was from threefourths to four rs
of the men engaged. Every spot on this
field has its own associations of soidieriy
duty nobly done. of supreme self-sacrlhce
freely rendered. The names OF the ehiefs
who served in the two armies form long
honor roll: and the enlisted men were
worthy. and even more than worthy. OF
those who led them. Every acre or tms
ground has its own associations.
We see where the fight Numbered through
and around the village OF Gettysburg
where the artillery formed on the ridges
where the cavalry fought: where the hills
were attacked and defended: and where.
finally. the great charge surged up the
slope only to break on the summit In the
hloodv sDray of gallant failure.

the long heralded conflict between the north and south had burst upon tho startled land. Sumter had fallen. The president had called, first for 75,00O men to defend the capital, then for 500,0O0 volunteers to prosecute the war.
 For moment there came no answer to Bentons tentative. Already he re- pented him of his words, yet there was something he longed to know. Fol upwards of three years there had been no secret between him and his chosen friend. Paul Ladue, who hitherto had held no communication with his native state, was writing letters thither and feverishly, furtively, perhaps, await, ing reply. What did it portend?
 On every hand men were quitting the desk, the plough or the tools of their trade, and focking to the recruit ing offices. Benton's name had been sent to the governor for commission in one of the new regiments. Mass meetings were being held almost every night, and energetic citizens were pass ing subscription papers from desk to desk that a fund might be raised for the benefit of the families of the rapidly enlisting husbands and fathers
 Ladue gave again and again and gave gladly. How could I do otherwise ?'' said he. You and these kind people

 brother. Well as the story was known. people rarely spoke of it to the Ladues Four years old though it was, it still cut deep.
 Some time in '57 the editor of a lead ing journal had received a letter com mending to him Francis Ladue, who purposed settling in the city and going into business there Presently Ladue came and with him his little family
 fragile, sad-faced wife, slender,
 big-eyed boy of Is, and two young children. Presently, too, marked copies of southern papers were received, and little by little their story was told to | an indignant and sympathetic com- munity. Natives of the south and
 residents for years of beautiful old southern metropolis, they had been banished from the home of their love, driven from state to state, forbidden Il ! to seek refuge among strangers in the ! north, because Ladue, senior, owner of the finest bookstore on the Gulf
 coast, stood charged with having sold | to an old customer one copy of Uncle Toms Cabin" The business it had taken Ladue nearly quarter of cen,
 tury to build up was ruined in 3 day. Ladue was shy and reserved, his wife
 g semi-invalid and Paul sensitive plant It was long before he seemed
 to thaw out at all, but Fred Benton,
 a near neighbor when they passed into
 the high school, was the youth hc finally tied to, and then this strangely
 assorted pair joined forces, apparently, 1 for good and all. Damon and Pythias ! they, called them; for, after the first
 six months of shyness on Ladue's part.
 they became inseparable High school finished, Ladue was needed as assis, tant in his fathers growing business. Benton had begun the study of law in the office of the famous old firm of. which his father was the head. But , hafnrA Aithar had cast his first vote

 Just then the squire appeared, springing from hack that had driven swiftly on the trail of the crowd, and started at sight of his son, standing there like sentry at the gate. s Somebody was haranguing the crowd, now completely filling the street from block to block only 400 yards away, while men and boys, jabbering excited ly, were still hurrying by the Bentons to join the throng.
 A mighty bass was uplifted over the clamor and beloved on the night:
 They tarred and feathered and rode our teachers on rail for no cause whatever. I move, by God! that be- fore we let Paul Ladue wear a rebel coat. we give him one of tar and feathers. I know where to find him." : It was the riff raff of the city that made up the bulk of the crowd-the idler, the loafer, the saloon hanger on, the same class precisely that six weeks before had mobbed the men of Massachusetts in the streets of Balti, more.

DAMON AND PYTHIAs.

 They were padding idly down the stream-two young men and a girl Stroke and bow were in heated discus sion, and the dark brown eyes that earlier in the afternoon seemed ever seeking those of liquid blue before him, were now turned, sometimes to port, sometimes to starboard, sometimes over the squared shoulders, flashing on the man in front-a young athlete with eyes as blue and hair. and skin well-nigh as fair as those of the girl at the helm. He of the stroke souls, on the contrary, was tawny. almost, as a son of the tropics His head was crowned by dark brown curls, tumbling about neck and temples. The shape of his face had the delicate beauty of woman's s.

 What his face lacked was strength and will. A physiognomist would have turned from it speedily to study the strong, virile features, the square jaw, the firm set lips of the stalwart fellow at his back. It required no unusual power to tell that he and the silent girl were brother and sister, and that between them sat, despite the heatl of Srgument, a beloved and cherished

needed to strengthen the somewhat slow and ponderous combination of the old firm. Benton, lawyer of the old school, held his young partner in high esteem if not, indeed, in certain awe. due to the daring and successful meth ods that had distinguished him ever since his call to the bar. On the other hand, he was not well pleased with his sons choice of an intimate. Paul La due was dreamer, an idler, poet perhaps what the stern, hard-headed old deliver in facts and figures called "a lapdog sort of a fellow And now the war had come. The flag had been lowered in defeat at Sumter. The men of Massachusetts had been mobbed in the streets of Baltimore. The first levies in the far west had clashed with the enemy in Missouri, and hostile ar- mics were arrayed upon the sacred soil of Virginia. Now when the young men of the Badger state were f1ocking to the recuiting offices, and companies and regiments were being filled to over- flowing, when Damon, brimming with patriotic zeal and energy, was seeking a commission in the union volunteers, Pythias, Paul Ladue, was known to be writing frequently, doubtless urgently, to his native state-the state that had banished and impoverished him, yet could not banish from his soul the old time loyalty and love. It had amazed and offended many of these, his north ern friends who had welcomed and cheered him in the hour of his adver- sity. It had scandalized one man who had never shown him sympathy at all the man now standing uneasily be- fore him, unable to face the stern gilt ter in his speaking eyes. It was final ly Paul who spoke:
 M "You say the postmaster should do his duty, MT. McKinnon," said he, con- tempt and hot hatred in his trembling voice. By opening my letters, do you mean? Somebody has been doing that already, and I believe you know who!"
