N The speaker here pictured Memorial Dayas the school of tradition, and brief ly traced the salient points of the mili tary and civic glory of mpn of the .South from the battlefield of 'Alamance and the Mecklenburg Declaration, through the Revolutionary struggle, the war of 181-J and the war with Mexico, and (ex hibited their influence iii moulding; di reetly three-fourths of the national his (ory and doubling the national terrilo ry. lie proved that Southern trejops iiad snatched victory fnm- defeat, jind made the -independenci. of the United States a, reality, and that the "rrcalost rt.ilnsiiun find most aii'-iist, minister's of justice in our history were men of South. I : ! the lie resumed as follows It would scarcely befit the time and place to discuss the oncoming of the po litical revolution that plunged tho States into the horrors of Avar. Leaving to the historian t'o Explain the reasons;for the severance of ties jwrought; by so much of Southern genius, it is plain that the dread arbitrahi cut of "arms could only have been accepted by such a people, under the over lowering ncces sitv to preserve their sacred honor.

But the words of General Lee point us to men greater than their generals. In days of dire extremity, at Peters burg he exclaimed : "The men of this war who will de serve the most honor and gratitude are not the men of rank, but the men of the ranks the privates." It is of such warriors that Wise poured forth his burning eulogy : he noblest band ot men who'ever j fought, were the private soldiers of the great Confederate cause. "I have seen them fire their last vol leys at Appomattox ? and oftentimes in marches and in camps and trenches, I have seen them sad and almost sink' but I never savy their tears until their beloved eommander-in-chief ordered them to surrender. Then they wept, and many broke their trusty weapons ! The blessed dead were not there to sur render.1' 'Steep In peace with kindred ashes Of the noble and the true, Hands that never failed their country. Hearts that never baseness knew." Like the flowers that bloom and die in solitude, many a lonely thicket and gloomy swamp and narrow glen shrouds bones of the unknown heroes whose lives were poems worthy the tragic muse. . Kven tho boys .whom the stern neces sity of the hour welcomed to the des perate fray, have left us sublime lessons of resignation to duty. At Chancellors ville a boy of barely seventeen receiv ed his death wound. . As his musket dropped he raised his hand to the wound and with fortitude that Latour d' Auverg ne might haye envied, he cried to his commander, "Major, Vm killed; tell father that my feet were to the enemy." So fell "Wilson Kher,of North Carolina. At Pocahontas, near Petersburg, lies the last man of the retreating army of Lee. He was a boy of sixteen, who volunteered to fire the bridge in the face of certain death. He reached the mid dle of the bridge and applied the match, and then though torn by a grape grape - shot, he walked back to the hint- and vWddod nn his nree.ions life. 'Pliaro b oilrinoi'mr unnmv mvp him -"WAVy , J q a soldier's burial iu his blanket, the only shroud of his fair features the apron of a solitary woman who ventur ed there to weep. So died Cunimings Mebane of North Carolina. O, Grecian Leonodis ! O, Roman Cartius ! Welcome such souls to thy companionship for all ages. Well might Mr. Bright of Tennessee declare that the Old North State "has deeds and heroes worthy the tongue of a Demosthenes and the harp of a Ho mer." What a picturo ! That dauntless boy, walking into the jaws of death, resigned to inevitable fate, that his com rades may be saved, "Hi.-t country was the lady of his dreams, Her erosa his knightly sign He died ! And there he lies, A stately slender palm Felled down, in tender blossoming . Across her grave !" But were those mangled forms in "Tewonce more to gather from the clods of the valley, their ghostly regiments maisaaneu m uuu ijiitim mej would sav would say : "Miiomau speaK augnt of us. until ho have remembered the army at home who snfteretl and brave- , , ., 13 norc more tnaii we.

To the grief-stricken widow of the gallant dead, what shall I say? Tully could not declare the glory of the war rior nor the sorrow of the widowed heart. Speech is dumb in the presence of such mighty sacrifices. The struggle was over. Worn away by ceaseless attrition, the little band that so long had kept at bay ten times their number, returned to their shat tered homes, "In tattered coats of dear old grey, In dusty, weary, worn array, Their banners flaunting once and gay, Now drooping drearily." Then came the sweetest task and no blest work of Southern womanhood. With ruined fortunes, with blackened homesteads, with oppression and mis rule, and a catalogue of wrongs and ills that would have made cravens or des peradoes of an inferior race, the sub lime influence of woman lilted the bro ken and despairing up to the heights of her own moral heroism. Taught in privatfons bitter school, she shared poverty, accepted the hardest labors with a smile, and while she put on the garments of mourning for the dead, she bade the survivors quit themselves like men, she kept alive the holy fires of pa1 triotism she gathered the bones of the departed, and erected the cenotaph that emblazons their achivements. Year by year she tended with loving ltands the aged fathers whose only fu ture lies beyond the setting sun of life, where they shall rejoin their loved and lost. Year by year she taught the lisp ing child to mingle the name of Leo with Washington, and found the les sons of virtue in the lives of tho dead we honor. - Was it" unyielding heroism she would teach ? She found it -Whiting amidst the battered walls of Fish er. Was it chivalry? Ashby's name rose to her lips. Was it superhuman daring? Who but Stuart of the cav alry ? Was it romantic gallantry she loved to name the boyish Pelham, with his giant's heart! Was it profound and reverent piety who stood with awe before the sight of Jackson on bended knee in the deep silence of the night watch before the battle morn! My fellow countrymen, if there was ever any period when the Soutli was in danger of losing the grand individ uality that is her birthright, our wo men have saved us - 'With hope severe, devotion high, Unwavering hearts, unflinching eye." With such mothers the children will preserve the traditions of the true gen tlemen, in the word3 of Preston his "piety, faith, honor, courage, gener osity and politeness." Words fail; to depict the grandeur of this people, if with the opening de velopment of our material ' wealth, and the dotting of our plains and mountains with new homes, and the filling of our ports with the commerce of the seas, we shall faithfully- cling to the virtures that make man master of circum stance. I repeat, that to perpetuate the vir tues of th6 father,, is to guard the fu ture of the children. . The day will come when the sleeping genius of the South will mle this land again not in hatred or revenge, but by the freewill and for the common good of a united country. - Who does not see that the sands of oblivion are already covering out of sight, by common consent, the names of a Stanton, a Pope, a Hunter aye and a Butler, too? Who canuot see that Ixj and Jackson, and the North Carolina!! Polk, anil Pender and Petti, grew, in the words of an honored man 4iiave convinced mankind that the sol dier of Christ can exhibit piety as the supreme of nobleness, and that it is the Christian who - is - the flower of chivalry." Tell me not flattering tales of a land of teeming populations and busy factories, and commercial glory, without the saving influence of relig. iou the prcvervation of the integrity that scorns the treasures, of the Credit Mobclier or the Star Contract? What would the wealth of the world be to the South, if heaped upon altars of idolatry or debauchery? " After referring to the rnightv dead who in all countries have .yielded up theif lives as martyrs In 1 a lost cause, the speaker concluded as follow ? And now, prepare to fulfill vour pious task.
