cradles kissing babies that are
asleep. Some are receiving The
blessings of old men. Some are
parting with mothers who hold
them and press them to- their
hearts again and again and say
nothing. Kisses and tears, tears
and kisses-divine' mingling Of
agony and love.
And some are talking with
wives, and endeavoring with
brave words, spoken in the old
tones, to drive from their hearts
the awful fear. We see them
part. We see the wife standing
In the door with the babe in her
arms-standing n the sunlight,
sobbing-at the turn of the road
a hand wawes-she answers by
holding high in her loving arms
the child. He is gone-and
forever.
We see them all as they march
proudly away under the flaunt-
ing flags, keeping time to the
grand, wild muse Of war-march
ing down the streets of the
great cities-through the towns
and across the prairies-down to
the fields Of glory, to do and to-
die for the eternal right
We go with them, one and all,
we are by their side on all the
glory fields-in all the hospitals
of pain-on all the weary march
es. We stand guard with, them
in the wild storm and under the
quiet stars. We are with them
in ravines running with blood
We are with them between con-
tending hosts, unable to move,
wild with thirst, the life ebbing
slowly away among the withered
leaves. We see them pierced
with balls and torn with shells,
in the trenches by forts, and in
the whirlwind Of the charge
where men become iron, with
nerves of steel. We are, with
them in the. prisons Of hatred
and famine; but human speech
can never tell what they en-
dured.
We are at home when the
news comes that they are dead.
We see the maiden in the shadow
of her first sorrow. We see the
silvered head Of the old man
bowed with his last grief.
The past rises before us. We
hear the roar and shrek Of the
bursting shell. The broken fet-
ters fall. These heroes died. We
look. Instead of slaves we
see men, women and children:
The wand Of progress touches
the auction block, the slave-pen
the whipping post, and we see
homes and fiji e. ides and school
houses and books, and where all
was want and crime and cruelty,
and fear we see the faces OF the:
free.
These heroes are dead. They
;; died for liberty-they died Tor
us. They are at rest. They
sleep in the land they made free
under the Tag they rendered
stainless, under the solemn pines,
the sad hemlocks, the fearful
willows, and the embracing vines.
They sleep beneath the shadows
of the clouds, in the windowless'
palace of Rest. Earth may run
red with othe" wars-they are at
peace. In the midst Of battle
in the, roar of conflict, they
found the serenity of death. 1
have one sentime MT for the, Sold
iers living and dead: Cheers for
the living; tears for the dead.

ARGUMENT * tpTORTED

there is another sharp distinction be-
tween the rules laid down 10y the Board
of Health. and the rules framed by the
Fire and Police Boards. The rcgula-
lions OF the two last-named bodies, he
said, Relate strictly 10 their own de-
par;mcnts and affect only the men EN- :
pioycd in these departments. On the
other hand, hc said. the rules OF the
Health Department affect the public at
large and have practically the force
ana effect OF ordinances. II the Health
Board is abolished. and another board
Is not provided in it's stead. the Council.
