could the immortal Washington do?
man and the myriad martyred heroes
whose memories are enshrined in that
temple of fame-the hearts of a CRATE
full people.
The Heroines.
while doing honor to the dead he
roes and living soldiers, we must not
forget the dead and living heroines. 1t
may appear unnatural to associate the
name of woman with war and soldiery,
but her heroism on the field, in camp
and hospital has made it necessary.
The offices which she performed
were like those of religion, to mitigate
and soften the horrors she could not
avert. Who has better right to take
part in today's commemoration than
the daughter Of America? She it was
who furnished the victim for the
dread sacrifice. She sat beside his
cradle tenderly lulling the infant to
sleep with a mothers lullaby, and
when the hoarse voice of Bellona (the
war goddess) called him to his last
long sleep on the field of honor, Amer
icas noble daughters stood beside his
couch, assuaging the pain of the dying
soldier. The Spartan recorded with
pride the mothers parting words to
her son on the eve of battle, Go my
son. return with thy shield. or upon it.
such stern women were fit to produce
race of professional warriors. We
record with still greater pride, not
what our women said, but what they
did. Our women urged not the soldier
to the sacrifice. But all over the coun-
try, the nations patriotic daughters
were engaged in providing for the re-
lief and comfort of the soldiers in the
field. Those black robed Sisters of
Charity, like angels of mercy, followed
the fortunes of war, and on field, in
camp and hospital ministered to the
wants Of the suffering heroes. They
smoothed the pillow and bathed the
throbbing temples of the dying, and
many a brave survivor Of that bloody
struggle owes debt Of gratitude to
those ministering spirits, who nursed
them back to health and strength.
Now after the SHOWS of more than for
| ty winters have fallen upon their hon
ored graves, it is but right that our
women should occupy the place of
honor-to stand-their hands filled
with the first tributes Of spring, to
deck the last resting place of our mar
tyred heroes"

Ours is a union of men for the at

In the political unions of ancient

not be that bond of union and char
