TZ 
and Chief of the Army and Navy of the 
United States, of the President of the 
Republic. 
He traced some of the results of the 
“*Emancipation Proclamation,’’  pro- 
nouncing it “‘ the greatest act in modern 
history.’”’ 
He told of the marvellous progress in 
wealth, education and moral develop- 
ment the lately enslaved race has made 
in the last quarter of a century and closed 
with Edwin Markham’s splendid tribute 
to the greatest of our martyred dead. 
His final conclusion was that, if we 
would express our sincere gratitude to 
those we are trying to honor today, it 
must be by receiving this inheritance— 
consecrated by the blood of half a 
million, to whom life was as dear as it is 
ours—that we may transmit it, enriched 
and enlarged to the coming generations, 
that can only be done by a nation of citi- 
zens, taking their pattern from and mod- 
elling both private and _ public conduct 
after him—‘‘ our first American.’ 
The Baptist church was well filled 
Sunday morning when Rev. Theodore 
Lyman Frost delivered the Memorial 
Day sermon before the members of the 
Grand Army and auxiliary societies. 
He preached on *“True Greatness’’ as 
exemplified in the l'fe of John the Bap- 
tist. His sermon was ‘4For he shall be 
great in the sight of ,the Lord.’’ Luke 
1=15; 
He pointed out as the principle ele- 
ments that go to make truly great charac- 
ters as being: Unwavering courage and 
firmness; an unworldly aim (our aims 
rather than our capacity determine the 
greatness of our character); an enthusi- 
asm for the right; sacrifice; and submis- 
sion to Jesus Christ. 
“THE GOOD OLD SUMMER TIME.” 
The butcher, the baker, 
The furniture maker, 
The tinker, the dealer in tin, 
The tailor, the plumber, — 
All know it is summer, 
They meet every train that comes in. 
Each new one from Boston, 
From New York, from Canton, 
Who never has been here before, 
Must go some, to dodge ’em 
With their ** duces tecum,”’ 
When first they land on this shore. 
With a hustle and bustle 
And a terrible tussle, 
They vie with each other for trade, 
And the boss will get cross 
At a customer’s loss, 
And you're docked when your wages are paid. 
But an order from ‘‘ Wadder,’”’ 
For sugar or fodder, 
Though obtained by craft or by force, 
If you have it, you book it, 
You are happy and look it, 
Are you right with the boss? Why of course.
