Of tho many tributes to •

quent Hon Benjamin it Hill •
• deserves to rank with the •
• best: •
When the future historian •
• comes to survey the charac- •
• tor of Lee he will find It rising •
• like a huge mountain above •
• the undulating plain „T lot- •
• inanity, and tie will have ?.. *1
• Jiff fils eyes toward heaven * '
• to catch Its summit, lie pos- •
• sessod every virtue or the great •
• commanders, without their vl- •
• ces. He was a foe without •
h-'te, a friend without re- •
• proach. a Christian without •
• Hypocrisy, a man without •
• guilt. He urns a Caesar with- •
• <Hlt h!s ambition, a Frederick •
• ^without bis tyranny, a Najml- •
eon without his selfishness, a •
• Washington without his ro- •
ward. Ho was obedient to •
authority as a servant, and •
• ,Ioyal In authority as a true •
king. He was gentle ns a •
woman In life, modest and •
pure as a virgin In thought. •
wattdiful as a ltoman vestal *
Jn duty, submissive to law as •

Go. Glory and forever guard
Our Chleftan’s hallowed dust;
And. honor! keep eternal ward:
And, fame' be this thy trust
Go, with your brightest, emblazon
ed scroll,
And tell the years to be
The first of names that flash your roll
In ours—Great Robert Leo.
i
Leo wore the Gray' Since then
'TIs right’s and honor’s hue;
He honored It—that man of man—.
And wrapped It round the true
Dead? but his spirit breathes;
Head' but his heart Is ours;
Dead! but his sunny, sad land
wreathes
His crown with tears for flowers
A statue for h1s tomb*
Mold it of marble white -
For wtong. a specter of death an I
doom—
An angel of hope and right
Rut Lee has a thousand graves;
In a thousand hearts., I ween;
And tear-drops fnll from our eyes
1n waves.
That will keep his memory green
Ah! Muse, yon dare not claim
A nobler man than he;
Nor nobler man hath less of blame.
Nor blameless man hath purer name.
Nor purer name hath grander fame.
Nor fame another T.ee,
—Ry Father Ryan.
