Scrolled, across the marble arch of the memorial raised to Ameri can soldier and sailor dead, every where which stands like a monu ment behind his tomb, runs this legend: , "We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain." The words were 6poken by mat- tyred Lincoln, over the dead at Gettysburg.
