Let us have peace.—Gen. U. S. Grant.

“Let us have peace!” Sublimer words are theseThan hurtling echoes of a clarion cry.“Let us have peace!” Across Love’s ebbing seasThey come white-winged with immortality.Build—build his mausoleum to the sky,—Battles for base, each stone a victory;But when Time frowns all these will crumbling lie,—“Let us have peace”—his monument will be.John Trotwood Moore.

Build—build his mausoleum to the sky,—

Battles for base, each stone a victory;

But when Time frowns all these will crumbling lie,—

“Let us have peace”—his monument will be.
