The Dear Old War Songs.

How strong is their hold upon us
those old war songs Of the sixties, and
what a part they take in our national
life. Other songs have swept the
country, have been sung by millions
of voices, played on uncounted pianos
and ground out by untiring hand or
gans-then forgotten! Only the old
songs which were sung around a
thousand camp fires; which were
chorused by trembling voices az dear
ones marched away ito the 'front.'"
which were chanted as long blue col
umns swept into action, only these
survive through the years. The least
musical of us hum their soul inspir
ing strains, and what grand anthems
they make arising from thousand
throats. We have known them from
our cradles; we will know and love
them to our graves, these splendid,
gallant old songs.

AS there is a time in every ones life
when the best and most scientific treat
ment is absolutely necessary to prevent
future suffering and perhaps death. The
new scientific treatment by which so
many thousand right here in Vermont
have been cured by, surely must interest
every intelligent person and the great
number of testimonials that have been
published in these columns cannot help
but convince the most skeptcal, although
we will admit that there has been a great
deal of prejudice and great many
things said untrue by narrow minded
people, who seem to be in trouble because
the eminent Specialist is able and does
cure thousands of chronic diseases after
our best local physicians and the most
expert specialists of New England nave
failed. This fact has been proven time
and time again in these columns and a
fact that none but an ignoramous would
try to dispute. On the account of the
large practise, which throngs the
Doctors Office on his office DAYS, has
BEEN more than the doctor with his
assistants has been able to take care of
and the consequence has been that many
patients each office day have to return
home after making long trips without
even seeing the doctor, but where there
is will there is always a way. At last
the doctor has provided a scientific way
by which you may cure yourself of any
chronic disease, such as rheumatism,
kidney and bladder trouble and other
chronic diseases in a remarkably short
time Ill your own home without any

the bitterness that marked other days
that these words are written. Those
who fought with the south fought hon
estly, as they fought fairly and brave

and Jefferson and Madison and Burr
to confirm and establish their faith.
The conflict had to come, and peace
and kindly feeling also for those
fought against the union. The facts
OF history, though, are incontrovert-

courage, the daring and the patriotism
Of the union soldiers of 1S61-5 hung
the fate of a mighty nation.
God bless them! in that they fought
long and well. God bless them that
they counted no hardship too great, no
peril too hazardous May they ever
be held in honor in that each one, ac-
cording to his station and opportunity
acquitted himself nobly.
Time does his work and it is given
unto all men to die. But the veterans
of 1865, though the last one of them
pass away, have achieved an immortal

their deeds.
Hail, then, and welcome decoration

Many years ago the statisticians of
the pension Office made careful cal
culations to show the number of sur
vivors of the civil war for series of
years. They used as the basis of their
calculations the mortality tables of
the insurance companies, but were far
out of the way. The old soldiers are
dying off more rapidly than was ex-
pected. According to the estimate,
the total number of survivors in 1902
should have been 930,3S0 while the
pension rolls showed only 725,1O0 To
the latter number should be added two
or three per cent. to cover those who
have never applied for pensions.

the armies of 1S61-65 have gone to their
long homes. The youngest Of those
who remain have gray in their hair
and beard, and springiness no longer
is in their step. Each year shows
diminishing numbers, and before a
generation more shall go by not "a
score will remain of the more than
100000 who enlisted under the union
flag during the civil war.
1t is sad indeed to witness the
steady aging of the many, the steady
falling from the ranks of those touched
by death. 1t is difficult to identify the
bent forms and unsteady step of these
veterans with the gallant youths, full
of the fire of living and impulsed by
patriotic fervor, who charged the pre-
cipitous wall of Lookout mountain
and passed through the seething hell
of the Wilderness.
All! brave soldiers were these, who
met in saber charge, or with bayonet
thrust, men equally brave. What a
pity they might not have continued
ever young, the ensemble of sturdy
manhood, in whom hope runs high,
gold for richness.
Yet, after all, theirs is the lot of all
humanity; to gradually grow older and
finally to be lost to sight forever.
But though man be mortal, the deeds
of man are immortal And though
these men show age and decay, their
deeds are fresh as if performed but
yesterday, and they will continue
green in mans memory so long as
heroism Is a supreme virtue and pa
triotism remains Hottest of sentiments.
The nation sets apart a day of each
year in which to recite 10 a generation
that has come after, the deeds done by
these heroes and the principles for
which all risked their lives and for
which so many gave up their lives. The
graves of the dead are decorated with
flowers. Those who are living hear
each returning Decoration day the
nations estimate of their services pro-
longed through four years of almost
ceaseless carnage.
The conflict was irrepressible and
unpreventable. The wisdom of Wash
ington, Hamilton, the Adamses, Jeffer-
son and Madison could do no more
than put off the evil day. Whether
this is nation or mere confederacy
of states could not be settled by any
argument, or debate or compromise.
1t was one of those terrible knots that
might be cut only by the sword These
soldiers of 1SG1-5 were called upon
to settle what the fathers of the coun-
try and the mighty statesmen who fol-
lowed after were unable TO arbitrate.
Manassas, Antietam, Gettysburg,
Shiloh, Chickamauga and Appomat-
tox were inevitable. 1t required long
wars and a thousand battles" to
prove that this is a nation and not a
compact of states.
