Youth and beauty, dauntless will,
Dreams that life could ne'er fulfil
Here lie buried, here in peace
Wrongs and woes have found release.

Turning from my comrades' eyes,
Kneeling where a woman lies,
I strew lilies on the grave

Of the bravest of the brave.

T. W. HIGGINSON.

LAW AND LIBERTY.

O Law, thou voice of Liberty! God's smile is on thy brow;

O Liberty, thou soul of Law! God's very self art thou. Two flowers, alike and yet unlike, on the same stem. that blow;

Two friends that cannot live apart, yet seem each other's foe;

O daughter of the bleeding past! O hope the Prophets saw !

God give us Law in Liberty, and Liberty in Law!

ELBRIDGE JEFFERSON CUTLER.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

WHILE endures our country's story
Starlike shines his simple glory,
Patriot, leader, martyr, brother
To a race that knew no other,
Paying full the bitter toll,
Ransoming the nation's soul,
He was kin to great and lowly,
Giving all, and giving wholly.

CHARLES H. THURBER.

(Lincoln Centennial Memorial Service, Feb. 12, 1909.)

SACRIFICE.

THOUGH love repine, and reason chafe,
There came a voice without reply,-
"'Tis man's perdition to be safe,
When for the truth he ought to die."

R. W. EMERSON.
