Aviretrs Great Oration.
DELIVERED AT WINCHESTER, VA SEP
TEMBER 17TH.
At the Laying of the Cornerstone of
the rionument to be Erected in
Memory of the North Carolina Con
federate Dead Tribute to the Wo
men of the South Eulogy of Charles
Broadway Rouss and Touching Ref
erence to His Double Affliction
North Carolina's Part in the Late
War.
The following extract is made from
the oration of Rev. James Battle
Avirett, at Winchester, Va., Sept. 1 7th,
at the laying of the cornerstone of the
monument to be erected in honor of
the North Carolina Confederate dead
there buried ij Stonewall Cemetery.
The speaker was introduced in an apt
and felicitous manner by our dist'n
guished townsman Col. W. H. Cheek,
late Colonel of the First Noith Caro
lina Cavalry, as brave and gallant a
soldier as he is an honored and useful
citizen, in these words:
Kind friends of the City of Winches
ter: , There are with you today a few cit
izens of North Carolina who have
made a pilgrimage to this sacred spot,
to unite with you in the performance
of a very pleasant duty.
We have come to j Din with you in
adding one more tribute to ibe mem
ory of our comrades who la;d down
their lives upon the aliar cf their coun
try, and died in defence of our homes.
We have come with an orator capa
ble and '.veil prepared to perform this
task. Before I introduce him, 1 beg
that I too as a representative of cur
people may be permitted to ava;l my
self of this apportunity to express to
the noble, patriotic, generous and lov
ing women of this historic old town,
our sincerest thanks for the untiring
zeal that they have manifested in the
collection of the remains of our dead
comrades, and in giving them decent
burial in this beautiful cemetery, and
for their constant care in thi preser
vation and decoration of their giaves,
I now present to you the Reverend
Jam:s Battle Aviiett, who needs no
introduction to th's people, and who
has been selected by the Ladies' Me
morial Association of our State to ad
dress you in th's occasion.
Mr. Av 'ett began his address, which
was pitched on a h'gh key, admirably
wrought and eloquently expressed, with
a tribute to the women of North Car
olina for their heroism and devolion
from the early settlement of Roanoke
Island down to the p'esnt, including
the da-kest hours of the late civil war.
"Some Nor..h Carolinians were willing
to sell their birlnright for a miserable
mess of poUage, but from Cherokee to
Currituck, from the Virginia line to
the waters of the Petdee, no woman
was ever found within the borders of
that old Commonwealth to dertrt the
right."
THE WOMEN OF THE VALLEY.
"Right here," said Mr. Avirett, "I
pause sufficiently long to barely inti
mate to the women of the Southland
the debt of gratitude which they owe
to the fair women of the Shenandoah
Valley, and notably so to the dwellers
in this old war-worn town of Win
chester, Va., changing hands S7 times
during the war, as, from the spring
da s of 1S61 throughout the entire
struggle, they did their full duty in
nerving the arm and strengthening
tl.e hearts of that noble band of men
arra)ed in gray who followed the lead
of Joseph E. Johnston, Ashby, Stone
wall Jackson and Robert E. Lee. It
may not be known to the world, nor
can it be known, the one tithe of all
these blessed women did in the hos
pital, in the closet on bended knee, on
the battle-field, outwatching the silent
stars in ministering to the Confeder
ate wounded; but this consolation re
mains, as long as the Blue Ridge,
whose peaks are now enveloped with
the morning mists, as many a time
they have been wrapped up in smoke
of battle, occupies the place assigned
it by Almighty God, the names of
Mrs. Philip Williams, Mrs. Andrew
Boyd, Mrs. Robert Y. Conrad, Miss
Kurtz, the Richardsons, the Russells,
the Jenkins, the Glaizes, the Mesmers,
and many others who were associated
withjthose already mentioned will not
be forgotten by the citizen soldery of
the South. They nobly planned and
faithfully executed the high commis
sion from God which led them in
their labor of love to develop this
beautiful bivouac of the dead, this
blessed mother of all the Southern
cemeteries fitly named, and worthily
wearing the name, Stonewall Ceme
tery. "The noble women of my native
State wish to say to you, fair women of
the Shencndoah Valley, that you have
been true to the high commission of
the three Marys at the sepulchered
garden, when (though it be rever
ently said on a lower plane) you have
strengthened the living by fidelity to
the dead you have discharged one of
the noblest duties of life in giving ten
der assurance to the dwellers in all the
fair valleys of North Carolina that the
: women of Virginia were keeping their
j holy vigil over the ashes of our dead.
We know, fair countrywomen, that
our dead are safe in your hands, and
one of my high duties today, perhaps
the sweetest and the tenderest,is for
mally to transfer to your guardianship
the 497 silent forms of North Caro
lina's citizen soldiery which sleep in
this lot. I am charged by the women
of North Carolina to say to you that
they are grateful to you for that sweet
courtesy of yours which accorded to
North Carolina the lot of honor, the
plot of sacred ground which lies to
your right as you enter under the arch
way of Stonewall Cemetery. It is
simply a pre-eminence which your
courtesy has accorded us, not because
of any difference in the value of the
sacred dust which lies in each of these
State lots, but simply because of the
greater number of our dead."
TRIBUTE TO MR. ROUSS.
"And now to you, sir," said Mr.
Avirett, turning to Mr. Charles Broad
way Rouss, who occupied a seat on
the platform, "cradled in Maryland,
developed in Virginia, and now a suc
cessful merchant in New York, the fair
women of ray old State bid me say
that with grateful hearts our portion of
the Southland, and, we belive, the
whole from the Susquehanna to the
Rio Grande, will cherish the memory
of your noble benefactions with which
you have tenderly sought to drive
away the wolf of want from the door
way of a thousand Southern homes.
You, sir, have given bread to the liv
ing and have fitly sepulchered our
dead. You have surrounded this
God's acre in your munificence with
a beautiful iron fence which will defy
the tooth of time. You have caused
water to spring up in this valley with
its refreshment for the sick and the
dying. You have fortified the inhab
itants of this old town of Winchester
against the fire fiend by day and night,
and in your annual gifts to the Shen
andoah Valley Agricultural Fair you
have taught the farmers of this beauti
ful section to sow in hope that they
might reap in joy. Nay, more, sir;
you have not forgotten Virginia's
great shrine of learning, for in the
dark hour of her university's loss from
fire with a son's high pride and joy
you have poured your treasures in her
lap. You have gone still further in
your far-reaching tenderness toward
the South. You have expressed your
willingness, nay, your fond desire, to
meet the whole Southland more than
half way in building upon a magnifi
cent plan and scale a great battle
abbey, in which might be preserved
the relics, the trophies, the insignia of
her splendid heroism on battle field in
tattered flag, bullet-pierced and shred
ed, but ever glorious; upon whose
walls might hang the portraiture of
distinguished heroism, and along
whose aisles in chiseled stone might
stand sculptured statues of Albert Sid
ney Johnston, Ashby, Stonewall Jack
son and our peerless Lee; and in whose
safe depositories might be placed the
records of the land you loved and
fought for, struggling to be free. Nor
have you stopped here, but to show
how deeply you love the Southern soil
you have brought the remains of your
noble boy from the great emporium of
the continent and given him burial in
the soil of old Virginia. Nay, more;
with monumental stone you have
marked the spot, gathering around it
the ashes of your dead, where, after
life's fitiul fever is over and your roll
of splendid benefactions shall have
ceased, you yourself, sir, a Confeder
ate veteran, waiting for the reveille of
the resurrection morn, hope to lie.
The women of North Carolina have
sent by me, sir, a few flowers to lay
upon the grave of your crushed hopes
where sleeps your son, and if only
among the herbs which spring into
life among the valleys f North Caro
lina they might find one whose medic
inal properties would restore sight to
your eyes they would be gratefully
happy. Cherishing your benefactions
in the depths of grateful hearts, they
bid me say to you, sir, that your moth
er's God has taught them that there
are no blind in Heaven."
Mr. Avirett then at some length re
hearsed the causes in part which led to
the civil war and sketched the various
campaigns of the Army of Northern
Virginia, paying tribute to some of the
prominent North Carolinians who fell
in battle.
THE GREAT TRIBUNE OF THE PEOPLE.
"And now there are some things in
conclusion," said Mr. Avirett, "which
especially to North Carolina. Among
all the States of the Conteaeracy iNonn
Carolina was especially blessed in tnat
great tribune of the people, Zebulon B.
Vance, perhaps of all the war uovernors
if not the most devoted, certainly
among the most useful. Fortunately
for him and for the great btate which
he represented as its chief executive
the great duties which devolved upon
him found him at the very meridian of
a splendid manhood. Born in the
county of Buncombe, among the fast
nesses of his native mountains, it was
the most natural thing in the world
that in his switzer home he should be
taught by a devoted mother to love
liberty from his very cradle. As a
lawyer, perhaps both Judge Caston
and Judge Rufrin were his superiors;
as a United States Senator, perhaps
both Judge Badger and William n.
Haywood were equally as well, if not
better furnished. Simply as a Gov.
ernor we greatly doubt whether he
was superior to ex-Gov. Thomas
Bragg; as an orator with eloquence
divine we doubt very much whether he
could move men as did Dr. Francis L.
Hawke or Henry Watkins Miller. But
take him all in all, measured in all di
rections, head and heart, he was the
best all-round representative of the gen
ius temper patriotism and common sense
that the State has ever produced. As
one who knew him and loved him, I
beg today to lay this modest tribute on
his grave, because I believe in my
heart of hearts that never did man on
the threshold of his young life love
gentle, beautiful North Carolina mai
den with love purer or more devoted
than that which Governor Vance bore
his native State.
gov. vance's work.
"I draw largely now from Senator
Vance's lecture, "Last Days of the
War in North Carolina," delivered in
Baltimore, Feb. 23, 1885, before the
Maryland Line of that city. He says:
By the general industry and thrift of
our people and by the use of a number
of blockaJe running steamers carrying
out cotton and bringing in supplies
from Europe, the following stores had
been collected from abroad: Large
quantities of machinery supplies, 60,
000 pairs of hand cards, 10,000 grain
scythes, 200 barrels of bluestone for
the wheat-growers, shoes and leather
for 250,000 pairs, 50,000 blankets,
grey woolen cloth for at least 250,000
suits of uniforms, 12,000 overcoats
ready made, 2,000 best Enfield rifles,
with 100 rounds of ammunition for
each rifle, 100,000 pounds of bacon,
500 sacks of coffee for hospital use,
50,000 worth of medicines at gold
prices, large quantities of lubricating
oil and minor supplies of various kinds.
In the winter succeeding the battle of
Chickamaugal sent to General Long
street's corps 14,000 suits of clothing,
complete. At the surrender of Gen
eral Johnston at Greensboro' the State
had on hand, ready made and in cloth
92,000 suits of uniform, with great
stores of blankets, leather, &c, I was
told by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston that
when his army was surrendered he had
on hand in the various depots of North
Carolina supplies for 60,000 men for
five months, and that for many, many
months previous Gen. Lee's army had

been almost entirely fed from North
Carolina. In relation to the number
of troops furnished to the Confederate
government, I have more than once
made the boast that North Carolina
furnished not relatively, but absolutely,
more troops tnan any other State.
This has not yet been denied to my
knowledge.'
NORTH CAROLINA' TROOPS.
"Thus we see how this remarkable
man planned and cared for the follow
ing troops which North Carolina sent
to the field. I gather this information
from the adujant-general's office, and
to all North Carolinians, indeed, to
every true Southerner, it is a record
of which we all may be justly proud.
"As volunteers at outset, 64,635;
recruited by volunteers from time to
time, 21,608; recruited by conscripts,
18,585; regular troops in the State
service, 3,203; militia on home duty,
2i3o2) junior reserves, Confederate
service, 4,217; senior reserves, Confed
erate service, 5,686; troops from North
Carolina in regiments in other States,
3,103; making in all 124,000 troops
as North Carolina's part of the 600,
000 all told furnished by the Confed
erate States in this fearful struggle
These troops from North Carolina were
organized into 71 regiments, 20 bat
talions and 24 unattached companies.
All those were raised of a white popu
lation in i860 of 629,942 or one sol
dier to every 6 souls. At Appomattox
and Greensboro', North Cerolina sur.
rendered twice as many muskets as
any other State. Her dead on the
battlefields of Virginia in the majority
of cases was twice as great as those
from other States, and in more than
one of General Lee's great battles
j they exceeded the dead from all other
i States put together. These facts and
j figures, dear, friends are not brought
I forward today to detract from the proud
; record of Virginia. This cannot be done,
for from the Kanawha to Norfolk, from
Romney to the North Carolina line,
the bosom of this dear old State is set
thick with scars of battle. Nor are'
they brought forward invidiously to'
any State in the late Confederacy, for '
he knows but little of the mettle of j
Southern patriotism who dares to say'
that where the obligation to duty was j
so high, any State failed of achieving!
the highest record possible. j
WORK OF NORTH CAROLINA WOMEN.
"Of the fair women of my old State,
members of the State Monumental
Asssociation, and their fair compa
triots, it will be pardoned me if I say
with gratitude and admiration, both in
what they have done in that beautiful,
commanding monument at the wes
tern gate of the State capitol grounds
in Raleigh and in these beautiful head
and foot stones here in this lot of pre
eminent honor in Stonewall Cemetery,
they richly deserve and receive what
they modesty wear the gratitude of
their native State and that we have
assurance that they will go on in the
blessed labor of love until we shall be
called upon on some other red-letter
day in North Carolina's calendar to
unveil and consecrate a central monu
ment with pride and pleasure, the
corner stone of which we lay today in
North Carolina's lot of honor in Stone
wall Cemetery."

The Power of Love.
ITS INFLUENCE IN BOTH MATERIAL AND
SPIRITUAL LIFE.
Eye Hath Not Seen Nor Ear Heard,
Nor the Heart of Man Conceived the
Kind of World This Would be if
Our Ruling Motive Were a Genuine
and all Controlling Love Poets
Have Sung About it and Philoso
phers Prophesied Concerning it, but
we Are Still Wandering in the Des
ert of Selfishness.
(N. Y. Herald.)
And every one that loveth is born of (iol
and knoweth God. 1. John, iv.. 7.
If this be true we need no longer
declare that religion is a kind of occul
tism, a mystery which 01 ly the learned
are able to peneiraie.
It is an old fact that when you go
to tfie scholars to find out what re
ligion consists in you are in danger of
getting into a labyrinth from which
escape is well nigh imp issible. When
you go 10 the New Testament, on the
other hand, and read about the re
quirements of God, you are covered
with surprise that men should have
made so complicated what the Lord
has made so simple. We shall never
recover from our astonishment until
all speculative conclusions, formulated
in the shape of various creeds, are
abolished or regulated to the realm of
private and personal property, my text,
with the many others of the same kind
to be found in the sacred Book, are
made the only foundation of a Chris
tian life.
Eye halh not seen nor ear heard,
nor the heart of man conceived the
kind of world this would be if our rul
ing motive weie a genuine and all con
trolling love.
Poets have sung about it and phil
osophers have prophesied concering it
but we are still wandering in the des
ert of selfishness, and the Jordan, with
the Promised Land beyond, are scarce,
ly visiDle above the horizon line. We
are marching that way and every age
beais witness to our progress, but the
distance between us and the perfect
social organization in which brotherly
love pievails is simply incalculable.
We are only half way as yet between
the barbaric man of the past and the
pei feet man of the future. As for the
ideal Christianity, the kind of life
which He alone of all created men has
ever lived, we dream of it and have
visions of it, but so far it seems to be
utterly impraticable.
Some of our so-called advanced
thinkers assert that we have outgrown
Christianity, and they are peering into
every corner of the globe to find some
thing better, whereas the plain truth
'S that we have in our possession the
priceless Kohinoor, but uncut and un
polished, and therefore unappreciated.
The New Testament is a book for
twenty centuries from now, and al
though we have learned something
from its pages which we have embodied
in our philanthropies, we are just as
far from exhausting its wisdom as we
are digging the last nugget of gold
from the bowels of the tarth. There
is hardly a perfect Christian man on
the earth today. Society at large is
a long way from being ideally Chris
tian it is so crude, so unjus, so cruel
in many of its judgments aud so unfair
toward those who have falien and are
penitent that we sometimes despair.
Think of a world fio -ded with
brotherly love! It would be strangely
unlike the one we are now living in.
If a man succuaibs to an overwhelming
temptation, do we surround him with
our solicitude and bring the omnipo
tence of tender sympathy to bear upon
him until he is reclaimed and rein
stated? Are we Christianlike in our
treatment of him? Nay, do we not
trample him under our feet and with
our scorn and contempt make his
recovery well nigh impossible? Does
public opinion, and, for that matter,
does the Church, the representative of
Christ on this earth, take him by the
hand? Do the ninety and nine sived
men and women care what becomes of
the lost one? Love! Nay, we are sub
merged in an indifference which is al
most the equivalent of hatred, and
mighty little care we if we are not put
to personal inconvenience or called on
to sacrifice our comfort.
If a woman takes a false s ep, pos
sibly with no criminal intent, what is
our attitude toward her? Do we move
Heaven and earth to bring her back
to the path of virtue? Do we f ce
her by our pity to climb the rusred
height from which she tumbled t. her
ruin and support her with our encour
agement until she has regnned her
moral strength? Are we not rather
barbarians, untutored savages, heaping
our curses upon her tears and and ren
dering her position absolutely hope
less? Would the Christ do that if He
were here, and would our boastful so
ciety if it had the faintest glimmer
of what Christianity means? That whole
side of our human nature wherein love
resides is of yet undeveloped, and the
sad truth is that we judge much more
harshly than God Himself will do on
the morning after resurrection, for God
is Father and men are Pharisees.
There is nothing that transfigures
as love does. He who is conscious
that he is loved is bound as river is by
its banks, flowing with lordly current
toward the sea. Love is a constant
restraint, because the respect and con
fidence 01 dear ones are worth more
than the pleasure of vice.
And he who loves has a hippiness
beyond the reach of measurement. The
silky corn ripening in the sunshine,
the orchard blossoms changing into a
fruitage with deep draughts of dew
and summer rain that is what a man
is like whose heart is with God and
who has God's love in his life.
There is but one essential thing
love for Him whose arm is underneath
you, love for tht.se whom He has given
you, love for the whole wotld, a love
so deep that even your enemy may
find in you a friend. That man is
"born of God and knoweth God," and
here is nothing more to ask for.

THE WAY WITH THE BOYS.
How a Sensible Traveling Salesman
Takes Life Easy on the Road.
The fat drummer pressed the knob
at the side of the table, and after -r
dering two coolers with straws in
them, remarked as he bit of! the nub
end of his cigar: It isn't the man
who takes all day, that gets the most
by a long shot. It took me several
years to find it out, but I finally did."
"I do not understand you," said the
thin drummer, as he took a pull at the
mint julep.
"Why, it is like this," said the
heavyweight, lighting his Havana. "A
great many fellows think they must
travel by rail all night iu order to reach
a town in the morning, and work it
perhaps all day. They imagine that
they have the advantage of
the other fellow who comes in later,
but this is all wrong. In my younger
days on the road many a time I have
tossed around in a narrow, hot sleeping-car
berth with a pillow no larger
than my fist, and somebody on the
other side of the car who snored like
a buzz-saw in action. I would reach
my destination in the morning com
pletely worn out, nervous, my stomach
all upset. After getting a bite to eat
at a hotel, which was done in such a
hurry that I had no indigestion after,
I would start out and try to take or
ders. I felt ugly and I showed it. The
fact was, I couldn't help leing all out
of sorts. Every man I talked to knew
it, and the result was sometimes I
would not get 50 per cent, of the busi
ness I had calculated on.ahhough I
worked from morning till night.
"But experience has taught me bet
ter. Whenever possible 1 go by water;
that is, if I can get such accommoda
tions, for instance, as we had on the
Old Bay Line com ng don to Norfolk
last night. Here is the idea: You
have a comfortable stateroom, a sup
per equal to that of any first-class ho
tel, and plenty of time to eat it; you
can turn in as early or as late as you
please, and know that there are not 20
or 30 persons in the same room with
you, as is the case in a sleeping-car.
Vou have plenty of rentiliation, and
you ought to sleep as sound as a dol
lar until morning. Then you arise to
a good breakfast, and when you step
ashore you feel like a three-year-old,
and ready to talk business. When I
am in that condition I ran get mere
orders in two hours than I can spend
ing a whole day in the other way."
"I believe you are right, come to
think of it," said the thin drummer,
shaking the ice around in the Inittom
of the glass and taking his last sip.
"It never struck me that way before,
but there is no question but what a
man can make a much better impres
sion when his interior is all right, than
he can when he feels as if he hid been
s vallowing lightning and ice-water in
one dose. I have been going up and
down Chesapeake Bay fur the last ten
years, and 1 always travel by the Old
Biy line. It never occurred to me
until you spoke, that perhaps that is
one of the reasons why this is such a
popular route with me, anil I reckon
it's the way with the other boys also."

Whenever any organization, institu

it usually goes out of business, takes
its place in history and makes room
