right, belongs to this country, and we believe the
time will come when hlis remains will be a sacred
deposit in our land without their being removed.
That the American Eagle will spread her life-giving
wings of better life over that queen gem of all the
islands, her feet resting upon a noble monument, a
tribute honorable to parent and child, designed by
the grateful hearts, upraised by the willing hands
of American citizens a monument to a world's benefactor-the great, the immortal Columbus.
"Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace
And saw within the moonlight in his room,
Making it rich and like a lily in bloom,
An angel writing in a book of gold.
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the presence in the room he said,
' What writest thou!' The vision raised its head
And with a look made of all sweet accord,
Answer'd' The names of those who love the Lord.
And is mine there?' said Abou.' Nay, not so,'
Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low
But cheerily still, and said,'I pray thee, then
Write me as one who loves his fellow-men.'
The angel wrote and vanished. The next night
It came again with a great wakening light,
And show'd the names whom love of God had bless'd
And lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest."
