Uees Music , by the Glee club , "Praise of the Soldier. " by Boieldicu. The Hon. John Y. Stone , Esq. , delivorcel the address of the day. Space forbids i complete report. Tlio following excerpts will servo to give the reader an idea of its brilliancy of thought and purity of dtction : Duty is the common soldier's inspiration te action. It has been argued that pride alone makes man appear brave. But pride itscl : is but one of the elements which duty siezu ! and bends to its purpose. Pride In a soldie : is an adjunct of duty. It is a part of his per sonallty. It is the self or , It may bo , thi selfish principle which stands guard against criticism nnd blame. Pride may hold a mm iu lino. Duty nlono will send him to the front. The man who can conquer his rising and combatting fears , and perform dccdi notwithstanding them , is the bravo man. li is related of a French general that at a grca crisis in the midst of great responsibilities al the beginning of a battle ho was observed U turn pale. A thoughtless young ofllccr salt to him , "General , you look scared. Had yoi not better leave the Held ? " Thoveterai gazed thoughtfully at the ofllccr for a mo mcntand answered , "Young man , if yoi were half as badly scared as I am you wouli leave the Held. " A man truly great will In i vast emergency have vast fears. But hi will Instantly subdue them nnd this makci him heroic. Men who accept positions of rcsponslbllit ; nnd power attain honored places among mci in proportion as they devote themselves ti their work. A great railway manager , ye young In years , felt his great powers fas ebbing out. From the tluio ho enlisted as i private bolilicr to help light the battles of thi Union on up thtough promotion after promo tlon till the close of the war , and then 01 through the Intricate and arduous duties o his llfo-work , ho had been a slave to duty' exacting and Inflexible demand. Ho survci no cause that ho did not strengthen. II served no Interest that did not prosper Loyal to his country , loyal to every cause h served , loyal to every friendship nnd friend loyal to every principle and noble sentiment Thomas J. Potter elled a martyr at duty' shrine. MHH And how shall wo solace the mother he boy radiant with llfo and courage , novc doubting , in the b'.oom and fullnefcsof hi youthful hope as ho kissed her farewell , tlm ho would return to bo the strength and joy o her years how shall wo give hope to hcr- whoso darling sleeps on the field ) In the Ion night of her sorrow her faith has been fasl cncd to the hope that is beyond the grav and with her eyes fixed upon the great licit after , * she patiently awaits the summons. The glee club responded to this closing scr. timcnt with O. B. Ormsby'B memorial hymr "Ilest Comrades , Rest. " Colonel R. C. Hul bard was then Introduced and delivered a udclri'sa "to the unknown dead , " which i description and imagery was line and wo many compliments : Hev. G , W. Ciofts delivered the followin poem , which is given in its entirety ; Once more wo meet to celebrate The bright eternal fame Of these who died to save the state And glorify her name. Once moro is heard the bugle blast , The Hound of tlfo and drum ; O , how the memory of the past In mighty volumes comes 1 Once moro the voice of song is heard , The antlu'in of the free ; O. how In all our hcai ts is stirred The love of liberty 1 Once moro the golden orator , With inspiration's breath , Itcveals the turbid tldo of war And tongues of luiid death. Recounts the days of awful strife With an ensanguined too , Who bought the nation's precious life , Her llnnl overthrow , And tells how these bo.ys in blue- God bless their memory I The serpent of serobslon slew And set the nation free. And how the flag they died to cave , Without a single btaln , Now waves and shall forever wave , O'er all our broad domain. How human bondage , crime of crimes , The auction block und chain , Disgraceful heiltugu of past times , SbaH o'cr exist again , No mother's heart can now bo torn With nngulsh fierce and wild , As on to degradation borne She sees her darling child. No baying hound with heated breath , And cruel , open Jaws , x Pursues the fugitive to death , Obedient to our laws. These things are past , thanks ho to God I And to these men so true I Who round our sacred altars stood And died as heroes clo , Once more the trees are dressed In green , The flowers bud and bloom , And loyal millions now are seen Eagarlandlng their tomb. Engarlandlng with fragrant flowers Each low and grassy mound , Where sleep thcso heroes bravo of ours With many an honored wound , And as they pass they drop n tear , A pearly tear , to tell Their gratitude to each one thcro Who for his country fell. The flowers may fade , as flowers do ; And waves die on the shore ; E'n stars In yonder heaven's blue May set to rise no more. But thcso brave boys shall never die , Nor their chivulrlc deeds , But shine In greater brilliancy As ago on ago succeeds. * Sleep soldiers , sleep in memory blest , Beneath the oak or pine , Where'er your sacred nshcs rest Thcro is the nation's shrine. And at that shrlno shall incense rlso To him who swept away The clouds and darkness from our skies And ushered in the day. And you , bravo stalwart veterans Who linger with us yet , Whoso honored brows the wind still fans , Wo never shall forget. Yo remnant of a mighty band Fresh laurel wo would bring And crown you victors where you stand And all your praises sing. Sweet bo the days that como and go Until you Join the ranks Of those who stand amid the glow Of heaven's sunny ranks. So live that you may say with him , Your Holnnd , bravo and true , "I'm ready I" when your eyes grow dim And bid the world adieu. And when the last rovcillo rolls Around the great white throne , May Christ , your captain , greet your souls And claim you for His own. The closing number by the glee club was "The Star Spangled Banner , " in which the vast audience joined with enthusiasm. The benediction , pronounced by the Uev , Dr Cooly , closed the formal exercises. The decoration of the graves by the school chil drcn , under the direction of Prof. McNaugh' ton , was supplemented by the placing o ) floral tributes "to the unknown dead , " ant a closing song by the children from the home of the friendless. After this the line was reformed nnd'marched to the G. A. R. hall where tbero was a general dispersion. Fully 5,000 people wcro upon the cemetcri grounds , which attests to the fact that the occasion which called them together i : yet a powerful factor in their lives. Notes on the Day. The pyramid which appeared in the pro cession was surmounted by twenty-four boys from the Bloomer school. The young girls in white , who represented the states of the union , came from the Hill , Pierce and Bloomer schools. The gun , wreath and star wcro gotten up by the Bloomer school. The evergreen deco rations and Ictgeml upon the cross , which marked the "unknown" spot , wore made by the Third street school scholars , while thr Hill scholars prepared the floral pillow. The shaft , which was n most beautiful plcco oi work , was a combination of snow balls , pure white , and smilax. This bore tfoo names ol the heroes who have fallen and are burled elsewhere. These arc Grant , Logan , Lin coin and Hancock. It was gotten up mostly by Mr. Caspar , as was the cross , both ol which were much admired both on the street and at the cemetery. The four young ladies from the High school , who attended the floral shaft , wcro generally complimented on the appropriateness of their association with the exercises of the occasion. E. H.
