He was the soul of honor ; faithful in friendship, untar- nished in integrity, true in feeling, and generous and noble in impulse and action. He never violated a confidence, or betrayed the cause entrusted to his keeping. In the light that has radiated from the Grant home, within the passing months, we understand better than we did, the simple words of his incomparable wife : " Mr. Grant is as good as he can be. " Absolutely, he seemed destitute of the little piques and passions and weaknesses ...and prejudices of ordinary men. " Sleep sweetly, tender heart, in peace. Sleep, loving spirit, matchless soul, While the stars burn, the moons increase, And the great ages onward roll. His memory long will live, alone, In all our hearts, as mournful light, That broods above the fallen sun And dwells in heaven half the night. " From the hour he received his commission as captain of volunteers until as lieutenant-general of the armies of the United States the Confederate power lay crushed and crum- bled at his feet, his one ambition was to wipe out the Rebell- ion.
