steel fit for the blade of the right
hand of the angel Michael. 1t is this
victory over suffering that has en-

to Dewey on his return to New York
Wonderful the ovation rendered to Kos
suth coming to this country sixty years

surrender of Lee! But more wonderful
still the ovation tendcred Jofrre and

the streets, sidewalks, rising story by

Brooklyn 100000 OF folk with but
one voice, S,00O,O00 of patriots with
but one mind and one heart, and that
mind thinking OF The hcrOsm of Franco

in every story tho path of duty is the
way to glory. TO every noble boy of

Thou must !" and Inc youth replies, 81

his boys to hold the lines or die. 1t is
very simple, but it is also divine, and
the deep things in every American
heart answer to the deep things of
God exhibited by the French BOYS Mt
