LESSONS OF THE PARADE.

it might demand either his life or his
deathY
Fair sponsors were there and young
children. beauty ana purity waited
on manhood and lofty purpose. Mill
tary and civil bodies all passed with
barred heads past the statue of Stuart;
with fearful eye before that OF Lee;
with reflective mien by that of Davis,
on to the foundation OF that OF jack
son. With martial music and mill
tary tread the parade inspired the
crowd. And such crowd it was
not organized. but the most interest
ing study In the world; remarkably
one In action and startiingiy one in
emotion.
The veterans brought the lesson Of
service. the young men taught the
lesson of respect for tried worth, of
reverence and chivairy for age,
beauty. and childhood. And the les
sons were learned by the crowd which
went away from Nirring scene-a
great military. patriotic. and scenic
pageant--to reflect on the meaning
Of all these things and to receive in
spiration for future years and future
lives In which the lesson of yester-
days parade will be inevitably repro
duced.
