Memorial Day Eloquence.

The following addresses were deliv red at
the Union cemetery Observances of Memorial
Day, and we publish them by request of a
large number of those who were present and
heard them, as well as many who were not:

REV. 0.1:. Tommy’s ADDRESS.

“New England’s dead, New England’s dead,

On every bill they lie,
On every mile or strife made red
By bloody victory.

“The land is holy where they fought,
And holy where they fell.
For by their blood that land was bought,
The land they loved so well.”

General Garfield said in Congress upon
the first anniversary of the death of Abraham
Lincoln: “There is a time in the history
of men and of nations when they stand so
near the veil that separates mortals from
immortals, time from eternity, and men
from God, that they can almost hear the
breathings and feel the pulsations of the
heart of of the Infinite.”

It seems to me that the present is such a

time,for here above the silent forms of your .

comrades, our fathers, sons and brothers, we
stand at the gateway of the eternal city, and
in sacred and sweet memory mortals and
immortals clasp hands “in the secret pres-
ence of the most High, and under the
shadow of the Almighty.”

History reveals the fact that the armies
of the nations have, in the past, many
mes fought for conquest, that boundary
lines might be extended, that the greed of
kings for unlimited sway might be satisfied
and the hopes fostered by their unholy
ambition realized, but these whom we honor
in this day waged war upon the side of
righteousness, principle and conscience.

To-day a grateful nation remembers her
fallen sons. Today more than sixty mil-
lions of people pause in the midst of their
busy activities to do them honor. To-day
the fires burn low in the factories that (lot
our land in multitude as the stars in the
heavens. To-day the shuttles and looms in
our mills are hushed, while we gather about
the grassy mounds where lie our soldier
dead and spread thereon beautiful flowers,
God’s sweet messengers of peace.

Never a national day so hallowed as this,
01' one that should be more sacredly kept.
It has been bought with a price, and that
the blood of our brightest and noblest. mau-
hood.

Memorial Duy has many lessons. It
speaks to the living and 0f the dead. Of
the blue we are forced to say as we gather
year by year,

“Thin grow your ranks and thinner;
You played death’s game for many a day, 0
But death to-day is winner.”

The scene here witneSSed is but a copy of
what is transpiring in the cities and hamlets
of our broad land. At this very hour, in
Mt..Hope cemetery, Norwich, N. Y., there
is being placed by tender and loving hands
the form of General S. R. Per Lee, a man
who led forth from that city, in the earlier
days of our civil war, the 114th Regiment,
N. Y. S. V.; a man honored by that com-
munity for his dignified manhood as well as
for his unselfish devotion to his country.
How striking the incident. How appropri-
ate the scene.

Sad indeed are the memories freshened by
this day in the hearts of many of our people.
There are, in this vast assemblage, those
who donned the sable garments of mourning
more than twenty-five years ago, when the
fate of war robbed them of sons or tore from
their breasts loving husbands. The shadows
of darkness still abide and will not vanish
until, in the light and glory of a blessed
eternity, broken ties shall be reunited and
God shall wipe away all tears and dispel all
shadows.

, There is in this day a lesson which should
be faithfully taught our children. When
they shall ask, as did the children in the
camp of ancient Israel, “What mean these
stones?” What mean these flowers ? What
mean these empty sleeves? What mean
these scarred forms? Let us lay aside all
other duties for a little while and endeavor
to give them a perfect interpretation and a.
full answer. Show them the cost in blood
of all that we enjoy to-day of national glory
and prosperity. It- has been remarked to
me since I came to this platform that prob-
ably not one in ten in this presence could
apply the words of song to that grand, soul-
stirring national hymn, “The Star Spangled
Banner.” Is this true? If so then go to
your home and at once take up the lesson

Give patriotism in song and word a larger
place in your public schools, the fruit of
which will be a healthier national life, and
a stronger arm to meet the presumptuous
foe from whateversource, who shall dare to
ofier insult to our flag or menace to our
institutions.

Yesterday in Richmond, Va , representa-
tives of the grey from all parts of the south

gathered in large numbers to witness the

unveiling of a statue in bronze to General
Robert. E. Lee. Sentiment may make
occasional display of the stars and bars, after
which they shall be laid away as sombre
relics of mistaken and misguided patriotism,
but [here the speaker held up the flag
in his hand] we will honor only this as the
flag of an individual people.

Let the bonds of Christian sympathy pre-
vail and the love of Christ sway all breasts,
then shall the blue and the grey be en-
twined, the past forgiven, for “we be
brethren.” '

What voice called you from busy shop,
crowded store, broad farm and quiet home,

, save the voice of patriotism?

What love filled your breasts and made
you strong to face shot and shell and death,
save the love of country?

What hand led you forth through dismal
swamp and w00ded highland, across broad
valleys and high mountains, save the hand
of God ?

What power made a Hancock, a Sheridan,
:1 Sherman, a Garfield, a Grant, strong as

 

the sturdy oak, invincible as the granite

mountains, grand as the mighty sea. save a
superhuman power, God given?

What is it that calls you together to-day,
and pulls so persistently at your heart-
strings as with gentle hand and tearful eye
you shall strew above the sleeping forms of
your comrades these beautiful flowers, save
the love that burns in the patriot’s breast?

“In the beauty or the miles

Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom

That transflgures you and me;
As He died to make men holy

So these died to make men free.”

nnv. w, c. nIannDson’s ADDRESS.
Men of the Grand Army :

It is not only a duty, but also a privilege
and an inspiration to speak to you to-day.
I know, indeed, that there is no real call for
words.

I know that in contrast with the touching
ceremony of to-day, that picture everywhere
repeated over our broad land as you and
others of your comrades go in and out
among the dwellings of the dead to drop the
silent tribute of remembrance and respect ;
in contrast with that picture all eloquence
of tongue or pen or song were poor and
worthless. But I know as well that this
ceremony is one of a class all too prone,
alas, to degenerate into mere commemora-
tion, and we are thus forgetful of the
weighty possibilities of the lesson, in this
case, of that unselfisliness taught by the
soldier’s grave; and, as well, of the import-
ant part it may yet play in the future of our
nation. I speak of unselfishness, and you
perhaps may think that I do so solely
because it is the church's work, knowing
with me full well that, if he be true to his
mission, no priest of the church of God has
right to address his fellow men unless
into that message he brings some undertone
at least of the one great thing which his
Master taught and lived before him. But
it is rather, my friends, because unselfish-
ness is our common ground, that one great
subject, which, if indeed the preacher be
chosen to preach, you most surely have been
chosen to practice.

You have doubtless read the statement
that the Grand Army man’s work is done.
He has finished his service. His record is
closed. The past is his.

But no greater mistake has ever been
made. Your work is not done. It is far
from being done. It is only well begun.
The future also is yours.

One midsummer day, some fourteen years
ago, I stood in silent meditation by the en-
closure in which, for beneath the lofty gild-
ed ribs of the dome of the Church of the
Invalides, in Paris, rest the ashes of the
first Napoleon. On every side stretched the
spacious buildings in which France, with
almost motherly tenderness, has gathered
and nursed the veterans, who, years ago,
were martyrs in will, if not in deed, to offer
their lives for their country. In the midst,
alone in death as in life, lay the great com-
mander for whom France, with an almost
idolatrous worship, poured forth the offer-
ing of her very best blood. It Was a place
for thought, and, as I lingered, the wish
arose that I might meet one of those valor-
ous men who had followed the steps of the
great emperor, and with their eyes gazed
into his. Turning carlessly I saw near at
hand two men engaged in close conversa-
tion. The one a youngish man of thirty-
five or forty, and the other old, wrinkled,
scarred and gray. The thought flashed
across my mind that here was the one I
sought. Stepping closer I saw medals upon
the old man’s breast, and among them a
small silver circlet bearing the features of
the first-N apoleon. At that moment the
younger man turned to go and, seizing my
opportunity, I stepped up, saluting the
veteran, and asked if I might enquire where
he had prooured the medal. What a trans-
formation was effected by this chance inquiry
of a stranger from the far off new world. A
moment before-he was an old man, wrinkled
and gray and bent with years. But now, as
if the breath of a new youth surged through
his veins, he drew himself up with a kind-
ling pride that thrilled me through and
through, and said as he touched the medal
with irrepressible reverence: “H e gave it
to me with his own hand.”

That was a. supreme moment. For an
instant the past seemed to live. It was
brought back close to me. I could see and
touch it. It was no longer dead.

But what was there licre—fnothing but
the close and living contact with the past?
\Vas there nothing but the glamor of arms
and the prestige of a glorious name?

Ah! yes. There was a living personifi-

cation of that greater thing, that GOdlike
trait, which made no sacrifice too great, no
offering too costly for the object of its choice.
Here was a living France that thought not
of itself—unselfishness incarnate.
‘ But, my friends, do we need to go abroad
to know unselfishness? Must we learn it
on the gory bridge of Lodi, amidst the sandy
wastes about the Pyramids, or in the bloody
path through the winter’s snow that marked
the awful march from Moscow? No! N o!

The heights of Vicksburg ; the jungles of
the Wilderness; the bloody wastes of many
a southern field all tell the self-same story.

It was you men who stand before me now ;
many of you weakened with disease, scarred
with wounds, gray with creeping age, who
went forth from farm, from home,
from workshop—for what ?—for your own
sake alone ?-—no, but for those who were
left behind and for the country’s good—it
Was you who taught the same great lesson,
the lesson of unselfishness.

Your work is nbt yet done. It is only
well begun. Today there looms up before
the country, which you saved, problems not
yet fully faced by any nation upon earth.
In the labor agitatious, in the conflict of

classes, in the inrushing hordes of immi-
grants that almost prostrate the nation's
powers of assimilation, in all these there

 

arise spectres with far]. more direful look

poverty and wealth, in the friction of .

 

than that which followed the first signal
gun at Sumpter.

' Your work lies ahead. It is your privi-
lege, your duty. having once taught unself-
islmess when you left your all and went out,
you knew not but to certain death, it is your
privilege, I say, to teach your sons and
sons’ sons, and through them the genera-
tions beyond, the one thing which, saving
the country once, can be its only saviour
again, the only thing which can ameliorate
the condition of the poor, reconcile man to
man and solve the problems before which
the nation stands to—day in fear. You can
do this. You still live for the future. If
outof these silent graves comes aught 0
inspiration it must tell you of the duty you
cure, not to the past alone but to the future
as well. You can teach us all by your
every day life, by reason in your demands.
by willingness to sacrifice everything rather
than your priceless memory that your
salvation of the land was above thought of
gain.

I see a mighty host, shadOWy and dim
with silent trend and ghostly march. Away
it streams in ceaseless majesty, rising and
falling with stately swing. its phantom
banners wavmg 1n the noiseless breeze, its
muskets touched with the light of another
world. Its ranks fill up from every camp-
ing place, each lonely grave and bloody
battlefield yields up its own, from each
forsaken glade and sterile mountain side
they came, and, as its rear guard swings
this way, you, too. grown old and feeble in
your time, fall in and on you move, a
mighty host of every race and age, with one
inspiring thought, With one majestic motive,
that all-absorbing Godlike trait—unselfish-
iiess—which to day finds no form more
worthllv its own than that of tue man who
wears the blue and bears the badge of the

Grand Army on his breast.

“Food for Thought.”

That “whole wheat” contains more than
any other grain to nourish and strengthen
stomach, brain, and muscle, has been long
held by physicians and dietarians, who
have urged the daily consumption of
Graham flour, Wheaten grits, and even
wheat bran, to uivigoratc, regulate, and
build up the system. In tl-ielight of actual
results, the thinking public have learned
to appreciate this important principle of
diet, and at an opportune moment the
skillfully prepared Itnannar appears
which. while preserving all the nutritious
and health-giving properties of finest
wheat, at the same time is more palatable
than oatmeal or any other cereal. In all
its different uses for breakfast porridge,
gems, griddle cakes, ctc., its peculiar
delicate flavor is preserved, and on this
account the great N. Y. Biscuit 00., com-
prising all the largest cracker manufactur-
ers of the East, have recently taken it up
for wafers. The extent of its usefulness
is surprising. Physicians are prescribing
it for their patients, mothers find it invalu-
able for their children, epicurcs prefer it
to any other cereal, and the Yale crew
have adopted it. on their training table.
Its enthusiastic cndorscrs are many;
among them, Marion Harland calls it
“Delicate and Delicious," The Dietetic
Gazette, “Most acceptable and whole-
some,” The Doclor, of New York, “A
dietary triumph, fit for the table of a king
and capable of sustaining a laboring man.”

Advice to Mothers.

Are you disturbed at night and broken 0
your rest by a sick child suffering and crying
with pain ofcutting teeth? If so send at once
and get a bottle of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing
Syrup for Children Teething. Its value is
calculable. It willrelieve the poor little But"-
ierer immediately. Depend upon it, mothers,
there is no mistake about it. It cures dysen-
tery and diarrhoea. regulates the stomach and
bowels, cures wind colic, softens the gums
reduces inflammation, and gives tone and
energy to the whole system. Mrs. Winslow’s
Soothing Syrup for Children Teething is
pleasant to the taste, and is the prescription of
some of the oldest and best female nurses
and physicans in the United States, and is for
sale by all druggists throughout the world.
Price 25 cents a bottle. 1v52
