To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Idleness has forsaken its leisure. Dissipation thrown aside its cup. Love yields its idols of home. A common impulse welds all hearts. A common cause levels all ranks. Frost of age and bloom of youth march side by side. Farewells are waved from curtained window and cot- tage door. Unuttered blessings tremble on blanched lips, as brave men break from womanly arms. Moth- ers, wives and sweethearts look through tearful eyes until dear ones are out of siglit. Then comes the mem- ory of noted fields..., the shock of battle, whistling bul- let, bursting shell, terrific charges, the impulse of vic- tory, or the sympathy of defeat, the ghastly plain, the silent burial of the honored dead, the days of watching, and sleepless nights, the tattered standards, armless sleeves, empty chairs, and the graves you honored->> to-day. . 1 How fitting that once a year at least we should turn I from the conflicting interests and passions of daily life, \ and here renew the inspiration of their sublime ex- ample.
