. To sacrifice, to suffer, and if need be, to die : a history of the thirty-fourth New York Regiment. tution of learning, a fundpreserved and devoted to a particular purpose, which bears the nameof its founder, is a very useful monument, and a worthy memorial ofthe giver, but it is not desirable that every memorial should be of sucha nature. Usefulness in itself is good, but not essential, or requisite. Amonument stands as a witness of something. It is the embodiment ofan idea. Set up in stone to-day, it voices our sentiments, and speaksto future generations. The printed page will tell, in more or less detail, of those whosedeeds we commemorate. Men, however, are not all readers of books, and the world gener-ally is too busy with the activities of the present, to give much thoughtor time to the doings and stories of the past, but as the child in thekindergarten is taught by the blocks and objects which he sees, so menare taught lessons of history, from sculptured marble, from statues ofbronze, from shafts which stand as silent witnesses for those who canno longer speak for themselves.. The Dedication 167 A victory lasts as long as the result can be seen and felt. A manlives among men, so long as he is not forgotten. But how long can aman live ? There have been men whose deeds shall keep their memorygreen, and their names upon the lips of their fellow men, so long asthe earth shall last.

All desire to be remem-bered. Is such desire, implanted in every human breast an evidenceof the immortality of man? It certainly is, and it is a proper andnoble sentiment. It is also proper that we should pay suitable tribute to those whohave gone before, and perpetuate, in so far as we are able, the memoryof the worthy dead of ou/ own times. But, There is nothing new under the sun. -A stone marks thepiace where a
