s near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring; But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. Lincoln at Gettysburg. The most important American address is brief: Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engag resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

He was with his mother on the morning of April 15, 1865, when the news came that the President had been shot the night before. In a letter he says: mother prepared breakfast—and other meals afterward—as usual; but not a mouthful was eaten all day by either of us. We each drank half a cup of coffee; that was all.

Not without a prouder treadlift the heart and lift the head: soldiers at the dedication of the Bull Run monument, June 10, 1865 As if to give pictorial expression to Lowell's sonorous lines, these scenes of 1865 have been preserved. At the top is the Fifth Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery. A thousand men stepping forward as a single man to the strains of music to which they had marched over the Virginia hills, reveal the practised movements of the veteran. Below, some of the gaunt and hardened survivors of those four years look out at us. Tanned by long exposure, toughened by numberless days and nights in sunshine and storm, these are the men who returned home i
