Rains that rush with bright, embattled lances .
- Thunder, booming round your stirless feet ;- Winds that set the orchard with sweet fancies All abloom, or ripple the ripening wheat :
Moonlight, starlight, on your mute graves falling ;
Dew, distilled as tears unbidden flow ;--
Dust of drought in drifts and layers crawling ; Lulling dreams of softly whispering snow ; Happy birds, from leafy coverts calling :--
These go on, yet none of these you know ; Hearing not our human voices Speaking to you all in vain, Nor the psalm of a land that rejoices,
Ringing from churches and cities and foundries a mighty refrain ! But the sun and the birds, and the frost, and the breezes that blow When tempests are striving and lightnings of heaven are spent, With one consent Make unto them Who died for us eternal requiem !
Two hostile bullets in mid-air Together shocked, And swift were locked Forever in a firm embrace. Then let us men have so much grace To take the bullets' place, And learn that we are held By laws that weld Our hearts together !

THE NINTH NEW YORK.
As once we battled hand to hand,
So hand in hand to-day we stand, Sworn to each other, Brother and brother. In storm and mist, or calm, translucent weather :
And Gettysburg's guns, with their death-giving roar,
Echoed from ocean to ocean, shall pour Quickening life to the nation's core ; Filling our minds again
With the spirit of those who wrought in the Field of the Flowers of Men.
Mr. Curtis was then introduced and the veterans cheered. The Editor of the " Easy Chair" stood up alongside of the plat- form rails, holding tiny slips of his address in his right hand and half-spoke, half-read his gracefully phrased oration. The scene was an inspiring one and the speaker felt it. The beautiful valley lay below, seen through the trees. The lawn stretched out on every side to rows of pine trees that shade the burial plots, and over the tops of the firs and evergreens shone the splendid image of victory on the National monument, its marble outlines glittering in the sun. The vast audience was perfectly still, and the orator's voice, husky at first, grew grad- ually firm and strong till one could hear it one hundred yards away. There was frequent applause from the crowd and the rostrum at the many simple and beautiful turns of Mr. Curtis's speech, and he was warmly congratulated when he sat down. Here is a part of what he said, which we cull from the report in the New York Herald :
Even the civil war has but quickened and deepened our prosperous activities. Like spring touched mountains of snow melting quietly into the earth, moistening and fructifying the seed cager for the harvest, so those mighty armies of the blue and the gray marshall for the warfare of a generation, if such had been decreed, swiftly and noiselessly disappeared, and all that military energy and discipline and skill, streaming into a thousand industries, are as beneficent in peace as they were terrible in war. What prouder spectacle is there for America, what vision could more worthily stimulate devout gratitude in every American heart, than that of the States south of the Potomac which, after the fierce and wasting stress of four years of war upon their soil, after the total overthrow of their ancient industrial system, the destruction of their wealth, the complete paralysis of their business energies, are rising together like a brood of Titans, and under the inspiration of liberty, peace and assured union, are renewing the wonderful tale of the carlier years of the century, the progress and development of the Great West? The power and resource of those States in war

seem to have revealed to them their unexpected skill and force in peace. The vigor, the tenacity, the ability that contested victory upon this field for those three famous days are now working the greater miracles of industrial enterprise. Never before was the sword beaten into so vast a ploughshare nor the spear into so prodigious a pruning hook.
The world's imperial deposit of iron has lain dormant for ages between the coal and the hmestone of Alabama, but only now has it proved more precious than a gold mine. From the war desolated wilderness cities have suddenly sprung, humming with workshops and a hundred trades, and startled Pennsylvania hears and wonders while Alabama and Georgia smile in rivalry, and the flaring furnaces of Tennessee challenge the ancient fires of the Lehigh and the Alleghanies. South Carolina nearly doubles her manufactured products in seven years, and this year they will nearly equal in value all the erops of the State, including rice and cotton. In seven years the as- sessed valuation of property in the twelve old Southern States has advanced nearly one-third, while the rate of taxation is diminished. Thousands of new industries, mining, manufacturing, commercial and agricultural, arise as in a newly discovered or lately settled land. To facilitate every enterprise railroads, thoroughly appointed, penetrate the remotest valleys. The watercourses are richly burdened with a freight hitherto unknown, and with new industries greater skill satisfies more various de- mands, opens wider commercial connections and more intimate social relations, and establishes a higher and more opulent civilization. In all this glittering panorama the happiest incident is due directly to the war. It is the blending of the capital, the people, the energy, the experience, the skill and conviction of other States with those of the Southern States which has produced this great result. Before the war this was impossible. Ever deepening doubt and angrier divergence had consumed the heart of the Union and only its form remained. This universal confidence and co-opera- tion, therefore, are in the truest sense the fruits of union. But fairer than all these, as this smile of prosperity broadens over the awakening States, is the fact that labor itself becomes free and slaves are transformed to citizens. Free labor produces the great Southern staples as ample as before and is welcomed to the new industries. It pays taxes on property of its own valued at nearly one hundred millions of dollars, while for the children of former slaves there are nearly twenty thousand schools of every degree, with an enrollment of more than a million of pupils, and everywhere a demand for education and a public disposition to gratify it hitherto unprecedented.
This new birth of freedom is the noblest aspect of the spectacle. The splendor of material progress may easily delude and betray with its fond and flattering caress. But it is not in such details alone that the promise of any people is to be discerned. It is not great mines only, and factories and farms, that make great nations. The patriot Jooks to see churches and schools and libraries ; he studies the decreasing records of crime ; he marks the growing respect for common rights, the evidences of public spirit, the moral qualities, the progressive political tendencies and higher standards of life among a people before he counts the spindles and the cotton bales, if he would cast aright their horoscope and fortell their future. The appearance of such signs under complicated and unprecedented conditions, conditions which no other States in history ever know, he sees with hope and pride amid this vast industrial revival. The full fruition, indeed, is not yet. But if some impatient observer, eager that the surely opening harvest shall be reaped before its golden prime, exclaims angrily that nothing has been done because so much remains to do, let his answer be that of the

wise general to his young lieutenant who burned for victory and thought the troops too slow, " "Tis an awfully rough road, my boy ; give them time, give them time !"
Not easily nor rapidly can the passions sprung from bitter local differences, and cherished and strengthened for a generation, disappear. Often in hot and reckless protestations those dying emotions will break forth like the distant muttering thunder of a retiring storm. But the central fact is as bright as a fixed star. The line across the Union drawn by the flaming sword of hostile, social and industrial institutions, and irreconcilable theories of the nature and powers of the government itself, this latent revolution and nascent civil war, have disappeared forever. At the end of a hundred years the Union is the sacred, seamless garment of equal rights, of harmo- nious institutions, of accordant views of the government, in which sixty millions of people in thirty-eight States are invincibly arrayed.
The oration closed the official meeting of the society, and the great assemblage of veterans and their friends quietly dis- persed. In the evening a reception and collation was given by the society at the Springs Hotel, in place of the usual ban- quet.
About nine o'clock the NINTH regiment "broke camp" and marched to the station. The train pulled out at ten, and by midnight most of the men were asleep in their seats and did not wake up until the train reached Jersey City, at nine o'clock on the morning of the 4th.
By previous arrangement, breakfast was ready for the men, after partaking of which they boarded a ferry-boat and were soon landed at the foot of West Twenty-second Street. The march to the armory occupied but a short time, where they were dismissed after a few words from Colonel Seward, who thanked them for the good behavior maintained during the trip.
In a subsequent order the Colonel said :
"The Commandant of the Regiment takes this occasion to congratulate the organ- ization on the record made during the recent trip to Gettysburg, and the opportunity afforded to assure the authorities of its reliability to do its whole duty in upholding the laws and maintaining order as did its former members, so many of whom laid down their lives in testimony of their faithfulness.
" The following extracts from letters received by your Commandant cannot but be gratifying to every member and friend of the NINTH regiment.
"From General King, the Recording Secretary of the Society of the Army of the Potomac :
1888
BUGLE CALL ..
705
"'Permit me on behalf of the Society to thank you and your Regiment for their generous services on the occasion and congratulate them and you upon their excellent appearance, and upon the splendid impression which they made upon all who saw them.'
" From General Hastings, Adjutant-General, State of Pennsylvania :
"* The visit of your Regiment was one of the many pleasant features of that great reunion, and the appearance of your splendid Regiment had a most interesting and beneficial effect upon that portion of our own National Guard which was there to see your cofnmand.
"The Governor directs me to send you his compliments and to say that he was very much gratified to have the pleasure of a visit from your Regiment to the State, and was particularly gratified that your camp should be named in his honor. I hope that the pleasant acquaintance made at Gettysburg may be continued for many years. and that we may frequently have the pleasure of entertaining yourself and your com- mand within the borders of the State."
THE BUGLE CALL OF GETTYSBURG.
" Where ly the lines of dark redoubt The soldiers lie in slumbers deep ; Night's sentinels, the stars shine out Above the mound of those who sleep. But at the morning's ruddy break, When hangs the mist-a silver pall- The men of Gettysburg awake, To hear ring out the bugle call !-- Bugle call
CHORUS.
Above thy field, O Gettysburg, The tears of Love and Honor fall ! Wake! Soldiers, wake ! your slumbers break ! Ring out, ring out the bugle call!
They rise from storied vale and hill- Once more in spectral ranks they form Afar and near they gather still, As mid the battle's lurid storm. But now 'tis Peace, forever won, And 'mid the hush that covers all. There sounds along the line " Well done !"' While still rings out the bugle call !- Bugle call.
CHORUS.

THE NINTH NEW YORK.
1888
The Blue and Gray in friendship meet, And o'er the storied field again The legend of the fight repeat, With ne'er a thought of grief or pain, Till o'er the host of human blest The shadows of the twilight fall, Then every spirit fades to rest Unto the dying bugle call ! Bugle call.
CHORUS.
