are the Warp and woof of the fabri:
I"' our national life. .-Xi
imagine by what other liieans \m-
( I'uld have gained t radii ions so rich
and full of strength and beauty save
in a war so tierce and so gn'iit. Nor
can 1 imagine bow' poor a people wc
should be without their glory.
liebold then the mighty Uepublic—
from these scenes, not only here but
at many mother s knee. Their glory
will descend from generation to gen
eration; and in some far time, whe.i
the Uepublic shall need soldiers again
when the progress o)' civilization
.liiail iiemand tlie sword, it will liu (
tiiem here; for these men belong noi.
to one age only, but to all genera
tions: and their examples shall in
spire the warrior until the natioiiji

Verily Iheir lives were not in vain,
and could we have it otherwise wx-
would not have tiiem other than as
(hey an,'. To them it fell to die the
one best wiiy for men to die. Soim-
of us here will see the last Confed
erate soldier sink bfdow the verge;
l)ut the tiiin gray line will never dis.
appear. It will Kcp eternal viivi
over all that is true and noble in tbii,-i
land. Hettcr than any working i.s

than any living is the di'ath they
died. In wealth ot love, in wealth of
lionor, in >alth of glory, they are
rich above all men; and they are se
cure in their priceless possessions.
Immortal upon the earth -though Ui<'
grass cover their dust they will live in
a tliousand gcnertitions. Gratefully,
proudly, reverently we whisper one
to aiiollier. "'These were our fat ti
ers ,"
The soldiers of Ale.\ander arc the
