ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S
GETTYSBURG SPEECH
DELIVERED ON THE BATTLEFIELD NOV. 1s, 1863

-Four score and seven years ago our fathers
brought forth on this continent a new nation, con-
ceiyed in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal Now we are en-
gagged in a great civil war, testing whether that
nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicat-
ed, can long endure. We are met on a great bat
tlefeld Of that war. We have come to dedicate
a portion Of that field as a final resting place for
those who here gave their lives that that nation
might live. It is altogether fitting and proper
that we should do this.
But IN a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we
cannot conseerate, we cannot hallow, this ground.
The brave men, living and dead, who struggled
here have consecrated it far above our poor pow
er to add or detract. The world will little note
nor long remember what we say here, but it can
never forget what they did here. 1t is for us. the
living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfn-
ished work which they who fought here have thus
far 50 nobly advanced.
1t is rather for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us-that from these
honore1 dead we take increased devotion to that
cause for which they gave the last full measure Of
devotion; that we here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation.
under God, shall have a new birth Of freedom.
and that government of the people, blythe people,
for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

GIass-Making an Old Trade.

Each country has its distinctive
types of glass, but 1t requires special
and well-trained perception to tell the
difference between some OF the Eng
lish and Irish specimens Of the last
century, and the careful copies which
are now being made Of them in
European factories. The latter, how
ever, can generally be known by their
greater Wilderness and lightness OF
weight Waterford glass is now the
most sought after by collectors, but
equally beautiful pieces were made in
the Cork and Dublin glass houses.
Glass making can be traced back for
about 1900 years to the people who
lived on the eastern shores Of the
Mediterranean, but its origin has
never really been fixed. It's fngre-
dents are still the same, and their
proportions seem to have varied very
little. Silica and an alkali, that is
quartz, or flint. and potash. or soda,
are still used
