HONOR’S ROLL-CALL
In a Decoration-day address Thomas Wentworth Higginson said:
The great French soldier, de Latour d’Auvergne, was the hero of many battles, but remained by his own choice in the ranks. Napoleon gave him a sword and the official title “The First Grenadier of France.” When he was killed, the Emperor ordered that his heart should be intrusted to the keeping of his regiment—that his name should be called at every roll-call, and that his next comrade should make answer, “Dead upon the field of honor.” In our memories are the names of many heroes; we treasure all their hearts in this consecrated ground, and when the name of each is called, we answer in flowers, “Dead upon the field of honor.”
(1438)
HOPE
Have hope! Tho clouds environ round,
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow;
