Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1887, By GEO. C. SMITHE, In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. Exchange DEDICATION. IN recalling these pages from memory's book, there is one memory which so outshines all others, in the mind of the writer, that they borrow from it whatever of grace and whatever of im portance they now retain the memory of a spirit so fair, so sweet, so pure, so true and strong and brave, that it blessed with immeasurable blessing the favored spirits that it met, and hallowed every place and thing it breathed upon. To that memory, which sanctifies the past, and sweetens the present, and glorifies the future, these other memories are with tenderness and reverence inscribed. |
