The following address was delivered
by J.-G. Martin, of Beagle, at tho Sol
diers' and Sailors' Reunion :
Comrades, Ladies ot the Relief Corps,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am truly elad that I have tho linnnr
of standing in the presence of n remnant
of our Nation's defenders. I do not ap
pear before you today to not in the rolo
of that honored proiumion as a p.ilillc
speaker, orator or lecturer this manv
of you know hut only to contribute
mr mite in assisting to enliven tho
routine hours of camn life of lhe old
Grand Army bovs who have assembled
here in Gold Hill for a few dava of
pleasure, pastime and recreation. 1
A few davs aeo as I was slltincr In the ,
shade at noontime, the thought on.
ourred to me that the word, '-Soldier," I
might be a very appropriate and inter-1
esting subject for an occasion of this j
Kind. Now, 1 do not claim a place in!
the ranks of the Grand Army of the He-1
oublic. but I do courteously tsk a nlnrn I
in the gatherings and exercises as a
brother en-uradc as an ex-soldler In the
Indian -rs of 1870 to 1875. Thlawnrd
"soldier" is a sranll word of only twoi
syllables, but it is well and favorably;
Kauwn iu us an in oistory, ana 1 ques
tion whether there is a word in all th.
English lanauaee that Is clothed with
brighter and more interesting history
than the word "soldier," for the mean
ing of this small word applies to a great
man that wtars the blue, the honored
and respected uniform of the United
States army. The veteran soldier's life
Is by no means a life of ease, cnmfnrt 1
ana idleness, as some might suppose,
bnt on tbe contrary, his is a life of
hardship, danger, disappointment, anx
iety and submissiveness, and this great
man never knows what minute or hour
the hnele may sound him to horse, per
haps for tbe last time, but ho stands as
firm as the mighty oak of the forest,
that never shirks or Quivers from dutv.
and is always ready and willing to obey
that old familiar command, "Forward,

drink his coffee and familiar bean soup,
and gro-vl. But all these things make
him the great man be is. Yes, be Is
tbe greatest man on the earth for the
short space ot two hours that be walkB
is lonely, dangerous beat, for no Dreal-
dent, emperor, king or commanding
general has greater power than this
private soldier. He controla the post
and all of its surroundings, and when
he commands yon to halt and pTve bim
the countersign. It would probably be
well for you to act wisely and obev the
summons at once. This soldier man is
as tbe great meteor that flashes across
the continent, for be comes and troes
when and where we know not: for he
Is the man that is ordered to the front
to fight our battles on land and sea, put
down riot and auiet disturbances in the
civilized and uncivilized parts of our
great country, battling with the heat
and unbealtbfulness of some tropical
climate, or may be exposing himself to
ine coin, oieaK storms of tho north.
Little do-we In civil life realize this
erent man's mission and bis dangerous
calling. While we are comfortably
situated in our pleasant homes around
the warm, cheerful (ires of winter, or
perhaps rusticating in the cool, shady
resorts of summer, this man soldier
stands as a sentinel and protector to
to our homes ty day and ulghl, Those

that the old Ship of Statu would soon

old ship wns sound to tho euro nnd this
groat gonural inserted a hirluriunl clause
in that old, familiar platform, which
reads, "Nothlug but un. unconditional
surrender, or I will light it out on these
lines if it takes all summer." Those
wore the grandest, mildest words that
were ever spoken hy any general of
ancient or modern llmus; these few
words soalod and cemented our grand
old Union (orovor. I can Imugluu thu
joy that swelled thu bosom ol that grand
army of defenders.
Now, fathers anil mothers that aro
assembled here today. I would admonish
you to teuch your children from infancy

grand old protectors is growing shorter,
their ranks are growing thin, their
step Is no longer quick und elustio, and
perhaps ere unothur uurampment makes
its annual visit wo may not nil be utile
to answer to nnotner roll call nnd hear
the huglu sound "Tups" nguln.
In conclusion, allow me to thank you
kindly for honoring me with your uros-
