Continued From Fifth Page Breathe our farewell! ah, very gently breathe it— e ccean’s murmur in the coral sheil, And tender as the ses flowers that enwreathe it— Forever and forevermore, Farewell. The Decoration Hymn was then given by the Marine band and chorus of Phill So- clety and audience. Next followed the quar- tetts “God of the Fatherless” by Farragut Post Choir. Hon. George C. Hazelton, of Wisconsin, was then introduced and delivered the follow- ‘oration: @ration by Hon. Geo. C. Hazleton. ‘There {s in the human heart a natural reser- vation for all that 1s heroic, noble and self-sac- rificing tn the history of the human race. The mouldering sepulchre, consecrated by the un- dying eloquence of Pericles, ts still associated ‘with the most brilliant of all victories in Athen- tum history. The peasants of the Tyrol think there 1s no monument fn all the world like thetrs, and no memory half so dear as that of Andreas Hofer. Amid the cautions of free Switzerland the hero of the old legend Is to-day a bright reallty,watle in Scotland from the borders to the crags of the highlands the sword of Wallace still gleams and the memory of Bruce Is still cherished. At Westminster Abbey the English people for eight centuries have crowned and buried their royal rulers, and within that grey old tomb of the aristocracy have been gathered through successive ages the illustrious remains of those who had for themselves a still more endearin monument in learning and philosophy, tn ari d literature, than of those who had been the ptaius of armies, the leaders of parties, the oracles of senators and the ornaments of courts,” apd however much we may desire to linger among the honored dead of the old world we turn instinctively this morning to a heritage of our own, more precfons than all, the great cemeteries and the many lonely graves ipon our own iree soll, set apart and contecrated for- ever by afree people a3 the sacred places of the Republic, wherein repose the remains of forms once manly and brave, who surrendered up their lives a willing sacrifice to the cause of Liberty and Uoion.

There was another and a deeper at to this conflict. Two civilizations found themselves face to face in a gigantic struggle for the po- session of a continent. The civilization of the north was the outgrowth of — and patient industry, of resources gathered by constant hardship, and saved by the most rigid economy; @ civilization of schools, churches, cities, and workshops of skilled intelligent and trained labor in pes and field; patient in all things and enduring things, The grand result of the development of that germ of power, planted at Plymouth Rock, augmented in its growth, Uprough wilderness, and hardship and storm, upward and onward by the sturdy emigrant from the despotisms of the old world joining its m.:rch and sharing its fortune, From this devel- opment came a President, and cabinet leaders Wortby of the great cause they heid tn charge. Lircoln, Chase,*eward. and the tireless Stanton, whe came rot too late for success as Carnot came to Napoleon. From this came also a cor ot generals tresh from the homes and altars of the people, as learned tn the civil polity of free gov- ernment as in the art of war, with no dreams of ambition beyond the fatthfu! service required to me‘ntain that government and the dearest rights of man, whose names I need not men- lon fn your presence, for they. ar> enshrined in the hearts of the American people. From this source came the armies of the Union, represent - ing the learning of the professions, the skill of artlsans and the industry of farmers. It em- braced all classes, from the scholar, who could read the lang of the stars, and trace the constellations of the heavens to him, whose only learning was duty to his country.’ These soldiers could make books, print newspapers, build bridges and construct canals; build navies for the sea and railroads for the land. Indeed the arinies of the Union were the embodiment of fertility of resource and endurance of hardships; they were organized for efficiency and for victory. In this, and not tn greater greater valor, consisted our superiority over the armies of the rebellion. It was this that enabicd us to malatain armtes In the fleld; better fed and patd; better led and armed; better clothed and cared for than any army of any war in the world’s history. The very law ot free labor which the leaders of the rebellion had despised, became in the end the nation’s defense and the rebeliion’s destroyer. ‘To the southern armies has been awarded great praise for holding the field so long and so well against the power of the national government. it from me to detract in the least degree from the difficulty of their undertaking, and the strength and endurance they evinced in protract the great struggle. On the other ‘and, 18 It just to ourselves, fo you, veterans of the war, to the fnaptmate dead here buried, that we should underrate the great work we undertock, the obstacles we overcame, and the Magnitude of the success we achieved? The problem was a mighty one to solve. Eighteen millions of people, schooled only in the arts of peace, undertook to overcome and subdue ten millions of people in their own homes and mountain fastnesses, amid natural barriers ot Bee strength, in a territory considerably jarger than the combined countries of Austria, France, the British Islands, Italy and German. a territory that must be encompassed both by land and by sea. Four milifons of this soutli- erm ple were the most docile and faithfui laborers in the world, working unrequited, day ard night, upon the broad aud fertile flelds of the south, to maintain the families at home aud the armies in the field. In magnitude and ex- tent this great work finds no parallel in the annals of History. You may well be proud aswe recur to-day, after twenty years have passed by, and our vision is clear and accurate, to the great line of operations, which existed and was maintained, by the armies and fleets of the nation In May, 1864. That time saw the armies of the Union prepared for the final of- fensive operations. One million two hundred thousand men were under armson land. As they faced south, the right of the Union line rested at Santa Fe, New Mexico. Stretchiny eastward, it connected with the center at Vicks- burg, on the Mississippi. From Vicksburg the center of the line passed through Bridgeport, Alabama, through Chattanooga and Knoxville. Tennessee, and Cumberland Gap, to the sto Uens around Clarksburg, In West Virgin! where it jotned the right of the Union }ine, or those forces operating in connection with the armies. in front of Washington. From West Virginia the left of the line extended to the vi eiity of Foicress Monroe. The whole const!- tuted a line of operations of about o1 sand six hundred miles long.

Commenctag near Fortress Monree the work of the t sailors ormy Hat n ; asts of the Carclinas and Georgia, around the Peuinsuia ot Florida to the harbor of Pensacola, and thence along the Gulf coast of Alabama and Misoisstpp1, Louisiana and Texas to the Mexican frontier, at the mouth of the Rio Grande, stretched the tirr h sleepless line of the Unton blockade, almost two thousand miles long. Every harbor on this enormous line was sealed, every inlet and creek, every bay aud bayou was watched by day and picketed by night. perating with this great fleet were two large aimles, one in the Carolinas and one with New Orleans, as its base om the Gulf, Taking no step backward, this mighty line moved forward to certain victory, and when Unis was achieved, and the authority of the gov- te ernment established, these armies, inu war, and stronger for duty than ever befor leaving the fruits of their victories to the state: ianship of the nation, melted away into the civil pursuits of life, returned to their altars and their homes. to ‘ap no more in army array forever. Since then peace hath had its victories, aud the great people who soived the problem of war will solve the problem of self- es, with all its difficulties and all its Tals. In March, 1561, I stood at the east front of the Capitol, among the vast assemblage that wit essed the first Inauguration of Abraham Lin- coln. In its rear and on its flanks were parks of artillery shotted tothe muzzle. The atmos- phere was hot with hostility to the in- coming administration and towards the govern- ment of the fathers, I saw that day a gang of Slaves, men made in God's image, driven in chains up Pennsylvania avenue, like a herd of brutes, under the master’s lash. Now the shining towers of Howard Untveisity, the freedmen’s seat of learning, greets the white monument to Washington as it rises higher and higher Into the heavens. I look over the broad land; and other and kindred instituttons appear to bless the freedman’s way to “life, Mberty and the pursuit of happiness.” To the development of all the war sectired, the way ts opening broader and broader with the onward march of time. How can the vanquished of the south long hate the generous victor that shares with Lim in full the fru‘tsof victory? How shall he complain of the generous Condition upon which he is aliowed to return, after four long years of warfare against the government. to stand upon ap equality with every citizen of the Republic who has been faithful in all things to her Interests?

I stood but yesterday in the great presence of the Statue of Emancipation tn Lincoln Park, an ideal to me of one of the grandest deeds in all markind’s history. I seemed to hear hin whose martyred life went out for liberty, de clare “Upon this act, sincerely believed to be an aetof justice, I invoke the considerate judz- ment of kind and the gracious favor of Al- mighty God” ashe broke the chain to let the oppressed go free. isaw the freedman with severed manacie, type of the race of slaves redeemed, catch the first thrill of freedom’s inspiration as the great deliverer bade him “rise.” Isaw the armiesof the Union sweep thé fields of bloody war as lightnings clear the air. 1 saw the Constitution of the fathers butlt in compromise transf by the power of war and into the fullness of freedom’s magna charta, in whose light the God-given law of equality for t. beard man stood resplendant the highest court on earth, the arbi- ter of American law, remove a former decree ee eee eee oun on oma be the law of the republic forever more, J saw the union of the states, united in bands of love and harmony, devoted to freedom and in ftsright hand length of riches and honor, and on ali fords of Bancroft: that a° ‘There were more flowers and more elaborate decorations than there have been for yeara.

At Soldier's Home, in addition to the commtt- tee and the veterans at the home, many of the Pupils of the Sunday echool of the Congrega- tional Church were present and assisted in the exercises, which were under the cl of Mr. W. W. Granger. The procession, consisting of the veterans of the home under command of the overnor, Brevet Brigadier General Joseph H. ter, the visiting committee of the G. A. R. and the Sunday school formed at the main en- trance to the cemetery and marched to the pa- ¥ilon on the east’ side of the cemetery, where the services were held, as follows: ‘The exercises were opened by a volunteer octette under the lead of Dr. Lewis, singing the “The Day of Rest.” MR. GRANGER'S REMARKS. Mr. Granger, in calling the assemblage to order, made the following remarks: You need not be told, as if it were some new thing, why we have met by this thronged city, whose silent homes ate tenanted only by the dust and bones of the nation’s glorious dead. Itis but the spontaneous tribute which humanity, under the guidance of its highest instincts, feels impelied to offer those whose lives, cr deaths, or both, have proved their devotion to great purposes and loity princtples. in atl countries, and in all historic times, men have paid such tribute to the memories of those whose deeds kave proved an honor to the race frora which they sprung, or to the land and times in which they lived. ‘The occurrences ot the last twenty years have developed in Amer- ica the heroism and the instinct of hero worship which Heaven hes implanted in the human heart as @ means of human elevation. The occurrences brought a ciisis which created, or aor oen developed the heroes whom the crisis needed. We have all heard of him who, boasting that he could “ cail sprits from the vasty deep,” was slenced by the simple question: “Aye! but will they come?” Columbia, at I can boast that when tbe vasty deeps of her political sea were stirred to their utmost depths by treason’s hor, infernal breath. her call for patriot spirits Was not in vain. They came; they fought, and far too otten fighting, fell;’ but, falling, con- quered still, for the cause In which they fell was, in the end, tilumphant. It not strange that those who thts conquering fe, passed in popular estimation at once into the ranks of heroes whom all humanity delights to honor — nor that the honor should assume, as it did, the form of an annual tribute to their glorious deeds and memories. ‘Thus grew up the custom, which now for more than a decade of years has ob- tained, of yearly gathering round thelr grave, With speech and prayer, and song and flowers, 40 consecrate their names anew. This custom, ori ally,28 Now, Meant primarily to honor the emuory of those whose heroism ilashed out a more than rainbow radiance of glory on our land, for all the ages yet to come, is still one no jess honorable to those who pay tie honors than to those to whom they are pafd. The apprecia- ‘ion of honor, of bravery and patriotitm, argues, if nct the possession of these virtues, at least a capacity for ther. May it be long, indeed, be- fore Americans shall forget or fail to show this sad yet wlorious occasion. What fitter place in all the jand for such observance than_ here, where, in sight of that grand Soldiers’ Home, wiih tells how muniticently the nation ean provide for the old age of its disabled defenders, and by these graves, which tells how nobly her sons Cen deserve such care in life, and such honor jin death. It is fitting, too, that a people who acknowledges the Lerd God ‘omnipotent as their God, who recognizein Him and His Providence the source of their individual and national welfare, avd who aim to make His immutable aad eter- nal laws the foundation on which to batid their own, should not forget, at such a time, to call on His name with earnest thanks for all His favors past to us as a people, with carnest prayers for His guidance and protection, and that He will kcepalive in all our hearts that love Of country, of Mberty, and justice which wi'l enable us to cmulate, it’ need be, the grand example of those amongst whose fraves we stand. To this end let us now, with bowed heeds and reverent hearts, untle in solemn prayer for the land we love, to save whicu these, and countless other dead; laid down their lives: I have the pleasure of introducing to you the Rev. Mr. Whittlesey, who willead our devo- tons on this occasions. Rev. E, Whittlesey offered an invocation,and the octetie sung “Abide With Me.” MR. JOHN SAVARY’S POEM. Mr. Jonn Savary was then introduced, and read the following poem: Memorial Verses, (Read at Soldier's Home, May 29, 1880.) BY JOHN SAVARY.
