We're nearing, truly nearing Their eternal camping ground. It was because their lamp of life Was lowly burning as they Wait for taps to sound their last roll-call.
Deaths messenger is very busy in the ranks of the Union defenders. It is hard, now, to find a survivor who is not aged beyond his years, and where the absence of indications of activ- ity and muscular powers are not very marked. The eye once lit up with patriotism and loyalty, is growing dim. The pulse which once beat so rapidly to the battle cry of freedom, is fast growing weaker. For the last three fiscal years of the Pension Bureau, once in a few seconds less than 12 minutes, a Union Volunteer has reported to the Creator, the Commander-in-chief of us all, for final muster.
Like clouds that rake the mountain summit, As waves that know no guiding hand, So swiftly is Comrade following Comrade From sunshine to the sunless land.
that soon there will be no living memorial of the civil war; soon there will only be records and memories of those whose life's blood has cemented this nation into an indissolvable
ONE COUNTRY ONE FLAG
While I do not think one can say too much commendatory to my comrades and the service they rendered, yet am often asking myself, as I now ask you, Is there not, in addition to the fallen soldier and sailor, another whose memory a nation of chivalrous and gallant men, should not suffer to wane and die ?
Think of the suffering of that great army of noble women as they daily and almost hourly looked to the God of Battles asking to be given strength to bow in meek and humble obedience, as the loved ones responded to duties call.

HOLLAND'S MILITARY HISTORY.
THE MOTHER :
Who tries to conceal her grief as to her breast her first-born she presses, as she breathes a few brave words, then kissing the patriot's brow as she bids him good-bye with none but her God to know the grief that weighs upon her.
THE WIFE :
As she girds her husband's sword, and though her heart be rent asunder, she too bravely tries to speak a cheering word as she says good-bye to the father of her little ones who are looking on and weeping and wondering.
THE SWEETHEART :
Beneath her drooping lash a starry tear drop hangs and trembles, as with a forced smile, that in part her pain dissembles, she binds her warrior's sash, then loaning on her young lover's breast she receives one kiss; tis the last ere his soul is at rest.
THE GIRLS OF 1861-65:
God bless those girls: memories of them, Mother, Wife, Sweetheart, are rising up all around us and like Holy Ineense are filling the recollections of war, with a rich and rare perfume . which Whittier writes :
When the grass is green above us, And they who know us now and love us, Are sleeping at our side, Will it avail us aught that men Tell the world with lips and pen, That we have lived and died?
My Friends: Now is the time to tell the story of those girls; tell it while they are still with us; tell it while my eom- rades are still living witnesses of their worth. Let them know that the sacrifices they made were appreciated and are still remembered.
I feel confident that I only voice the sentiment of every American Patriot when I express the hope that some son of genius will yet arise whose divinely gifted soul, kindled at the

alters of patriotism and poetry, shall inspire the noblest epic of the age, which shall carry on wings of immortal song and to end- less generations, the story of the services and sacrifices of our women of the war.
Oh! brave women heroes, your faith and your pride, Have urged to the conquest, have cheered those who died ; Your prayers have lit the rough paths of defeat, Till glory blazed over the lines of retreat.
YOUNG MEN OF HOLLAND :
The time will come, and speedily, when the last survivor of that Grand Army of the Civil War will shoulder his crutch or cane no more. When he will lie down to rest for the last time with no comrade left to shed a tear or place a flower on his grave.
Already those men are moving slowly, with a weary and heavy tread; they are all, over the crest, and well down the western slope of life's journey; the bright sunset is in their faces; soon they will reach the valley through the very middle flows, we are often told, a roaring torrent, wide, which must be crossed. But I have faith to believe that there is a pontoon down there that will reach to the other shore, where is a glorious camping ground, where my comrades will stack their guns for the last time.
Soon to your keeping, young men, will be left the flag of the richest, the greatest, the grandest and the most powerful nation on God's footstool. A flag that has never been lowered in defeat or humiliated at the termination of any war. A flag that has done more for mankind; for liberty and humanity, than all other flags that wave between the earth and the sky above it. A flag which triumphantly floats over a nation knitted together by oceans of blood of its boys, and rivers of tears of the girls of 1861-65. A nation, which since March 4, 1861 has increased in wealth from 16 to 150 billions of dollars, and in population from 30 million to nearly 100 million.
To you will be left an untarnished flag, with its colors borrowed from the heavens; a flag that tells to the world of the red blood of American Patriots and their deeds of valor from Bunker Hill to Manila Bay. From Lake Erie to the plains of
351
HOLLAND'S MILITARY HISTORY.
Mexico, Santiago Harbor and San Juan Hill. The flag of those who are to follow you until the Ruler of the Universe
Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters and who rideth on the wings of the wind
shall sound the last note of time.
The one flag, the great flag, The flag for me and you, The Red, The White, The Blue.
Young men, Old Glory will be left to you fully believing that you will defend it whenever and wherever duty calls. That you will never disgrace or desert it.
That you will swear by it. Pray for it. Live for it.
DIE FOR IT.
WAR WITH SPAIN
The war with Spain in 1898 was of such short duration and minor importance that no soldier of Holland so far as known was enrolled. Not lack of patriotism, but lack of need was the reason.

Towns frequently neglected to elect a representative to General Court in order to avoid the expense. They could do it for the representative drew his pay from the town treasury by which he was sent. The trouble grew until a heavy fine was imposed upon towns which neglected to elect and send a representative, and the law was changed making his salary a charge upon the state treasury. Even then, many towns were fined. Of the above list of representatives, five were deacons in the congregational church.
