worthy a place among the papers it is at your service. Or if it will better grace the waste basket, I am agreeable. Very truly yours, —— —— —— We need scarcely add that the article sent will find an early place in our papers. The following has the true ring: St. Louis, December 29th, 1883. Rev. J. Wm. Jones, Secretary: Dear Sir,—Your card of 17th inst. just received. I at once enclose and send you $3.00 currency, renewal subscription for papers and membership. I wore the Gray from May, 1861, to April, 1865, so am very naturally anxious to see the Southern Historical Society a success.

ndid success: R. E. Lee camp, No. 1, Confederate veterans, Richmond, Va., January 15th, 1884. The above Camp of old Confeds see and feel the necessity for concentrated effort to aid and care for the disabled of our comrades, who have no Government to bestow bounty upon them, and who must rely on those who experienced the hardship of soldier life, and those who have sympathy for them. We have had kindly greetings from the Boys in Blue—who were on the other side—and call on those of the Gray who may be disposed and able to assist us. We have determined to hold a grand Fair in this city for the purpose indicated in May next, or as soon as we can, and would be grateful for such contributions of money or merchandise as will make our efforts a success. Please make prompt reply if you can help us. With soldierly greetings, we are, Your old comrade Confeds, R. H. Fox, J. B. Mckenny, D. S. Redford, J. T. Ferriter, W. T. Ashby, Committee. the Mercer cavalry, from Spotsy

With purpose strong as love of life- Some fought in Blue and some in Gray. Each deemed his cause both true and just, And bravely strove to wiay; And of the hosts who bit the dust, Some fell in Blue and some in Gray. Where flowers bloom in southern vales, Where waters dash in crystae hills are fanned by northern gales, Some sleep in Blue and some in Gray. On mansion and on cottage wall, Hang the dead heroes of the fray, Whose mute lips answer not the call Of comrades wearing Blue and Gray. And out from homes both South and North, The orphaned children bend thay; And widowed mothers issue forth, To drop their tears on Blue and Gray. Over the dead the same sun throws His warm, benignant, peaceful swmoonlight pales and dew-drops kiss The moss-grown graves of Blue and Gray. Ye living, bring your garlands fair, And clasp your hands anew to-iving, bring your garlands fair, And clasp your hands anew to-day! One flag yet floats upon the air; We're brothers still, both Blue and Gray!

heroes who died for you and me— Each valiant man, in his own degree, Whether he fell on the shore or sea, Did deeds of which This Land, though rich In histories may boast, And the Sage's Book and the Poet's Lay Are full of the deeds of the Men in Gray. No lion cleft from the rock is ours, Such as Lucerne displays, Our only wealth is in tears and flowers, And words of reverend praise. And the Roses brought to this silent Yard Are Red and White. Behold! They tell how wars for a kingly crown, In s, that when battles cease The ramparts smile in the blooms of peace. And flowers to-day were hither brought From the gallant men who against us fought; York and Lancaster!—Gray and Blue! Each to itself and the other true!— And so I say Our Men in Gray Have left to the South and North a tale Which none of the glories of Earth can pale. Norfolk has names in the sleeping host Which fill us with mournful pride— Taylor and Newton, we well may boast, McPhail, and Walke, and Selden, too, Brave as th

ech and more inspiring than the harp of song, stimulate the living to emulate the virtues of the dead, and keep alive in us the sentiments and qualities which make our martyrs' lives sublime and make their memories our inheritance and an inspiration for all who come after them. The following beautiful original poem was then recited by Mrs. Luther Manship: Sentinel song. When falls the soldier brave Dead, at the feet of wrong, The poet sings and guards his grave With sentinels of song. Gray ballads, mark ye well, Thrice holy is your trust; Go, halt by the field where warriors fell, Rest arms, and guard their dust. Go, wearing the gray of grief, Go, watch o'er the dead in gray; Go, guard the private and guard the chief, And sentinel their clay. And the song in stately rhyme, And with softly sounding tread Go forth to watch for a time, a time, Where sleep the deathless dead. When marble wears away And monuments are dust, The songs that guard our soldiers' clay Will still fulfi

rit— See Cromwell, damn'd to everlasting fame; and, sixteen years later,—four-fifths of a century after Cromwell's disentombment at Westminster and reburial at Tyburn,—period from the death of Lee equal to that which will have elapsed in 1950, Gray sang of the Stoke Pogis churchyard— Some mute, inglorious Milton here may rest, Some Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood. And now, a century and a half later, Cromwell's statue looms defiantly up in front of the Parliament House. When, therefore, an appeal is in such cases made to the avenging pen of History, it is well to bear this instance in mind, while recalling, perchance, that other line of a greater than Pope, or Gray, or Sumner— Thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges. Was then Robert E. Lee a traitor—was he also guilty of his country's blood? These questions I propose now to discuss. I am one of those who, in other days, was arrayed in the ranks which confronted Lee; one of those whom Lee

blic money. They have small significance. Least of all would I suggest such a one in the case of Lee. Nor was it so with Cromwell. His effigy is a private gift, placed where it is by an act of Parliament. So, when the time is ripe, should it be with Lee, and the time will come. When it does come, the effigy, assigned to its place merely by act of congress, should bear some such inscription as this: Robert Edward Lee.

If Lincoln had lived. In responding to the toast to Abraham Lincoln, He was not for an age, but for all time, Colonel Henry Watterson incidentally said: Jefferson Davis, than whom there never lived, in this or any other land, a noblier gentleman, and a knightlier soldier; Jefferson Davis, who, whatever may be thought of his opinions and actio

belief in Hunter's excuses, and laid the real blame of the ignominious failure upon the incompetence of Hunter himself. The obvious cause of Hunter's failure was that he did not reach Lynchburg on the 16th, the day upon which, according to Averell's plan, he was due. Had he reached his destination on the 16th he could have occupied the town without opposition. General Breckinridge was there, an invalid, and his troops were there in small numbers, much wearied, and they, with a few Silver Gray home guards, and the boys from the Institute, constituted the sole garrison opposing his army of twenty-five thousand men. Why he did not come up is accounted for upon two grounds. The first of which was the unnecessary delay at Lexington. He says in his report, after giving the detail of his performance there, I delayed one day in Lexington (70 War of Rebellion, 97). Colonel Hayes says two days. (Id., 122.) Had he marched without delay he would have been in Lynchburg before Early or any

But wiser now, a man gray grown, My childhood's needs are better known, My mother's chastening love I own.
