Ingersoll At The Tomb Of Napoleon

By Robert G. Ingersoll

A little while ago I stood by the grave of the old Napoleon-a magnificent tomb of gilt and gold fit almost for a dead diety-and gazed. upon the sarcophagus of rare and nameless marble, where rest at last the ashes of that restless man.

I leaned over the balustrade and thought about the career 'of the greatest soldier of the modern world- I saw him walking utrron the banks of the Seine, contemplating suicide. I saw him at Toulon-f saw him putting down the mob in the streets of Paris-I ."* hi* at the head of the army of Italy-I saw him crossing the bridge of Lodi with the tricolor in his hand-I saw him in Egypt in the shadows of the pyramids-I saw him conquer the Alps and mingle the eagles of France with the eagles of the crags.

I saw him at Marengo, at tflm, and Austerlitz. I saw him in Russia, where the infantry of the snow and the cavalry of the wind blast scattered his legions like winter's withered leaves. I saw him at Leipsic, in defeat and disaster, driven by a million bayonets back upon Paris, clutched like a wild beast-banished to Elba. f saw him escape and retake an empire by the force of his genius. I saw him upon the frightful field of Waterloo, where Chance and Fate combined to wreck the fortunes of their former king. And I saw him at St. Helena, with his hands crossed behind him, gazing out upon the sad and solemn sea.

And I thought of the orphans he had made, of the tears that had been shed for his glory, and of the only woman who ever loved him, pushed from his heart by the cold hand of ambition. And I said I would rather have been a French peasant and worn wooden shoes; I would rather have lived in a hut with a vine growing over the door and the grapes growing purple in the kisses of the autumn sun. I woutd rather have been that poor peasant with my loving wife by my side, knitting as the day died out of the sky-with my children upon my knees and their arms about m+f would rather have been that poor peasant and gone down to the tongueless silence of the dreamless dust, than to have been that imperial impersonation of force and murder, known as "Napoleon the Great."

MILITARISM?

IIe was an ex-soldier was this lunch-counter waiter, and so was the short-order cook, and they had their signals down pat. The customer said to the waiter:

"I want a bowl of oyster soup, two scrambled eggs, coffee, and brown bread."

And the ex-soldier bawled to the cook:

"Marines in the mud; two squads; deploy 'em; cup o' reveille, and colored shock troops."

The Land Of Sky

Today I went a-walking

With the mountains by my side, We strode along together With a long and easy stride. We clambered thru the valleys

And rode the rolling hills

In search of far horizons, Where the golden sunset spills.

Today I went a-walking

With the mountain for my mate, The high majestic mountain That steps along in state. The little near-by hills

That follow in their train, And call for me to linger, And bid me come again.

Today I went a-walking

With the thountains hand in hand, We neither spoke a word but We each could understand. We talked of many ancient things

My mountain friends and f, As we walked along together Up in the Land of Sky.

The little colored boy started on his first railway journey by himself, and his mother told him to write his name and address on a card and keep it in his pocket. So he wrote:

"fn case of accident, this WAS Sammy Jones."
