Patriotism, or love of country, is one Of the cardinal virtues of every true heart. It has been recognized as the crowning glory of generous manhood and womanhood in all ages and in all countries. Through all history, from the dawn of civilized and even barbaric life tothis present day, mankind have declared it, written it, acted it, vindicated it at all times, under all circum stances, through good report and evil report, at the council fires Of the untutored savage, in the patriarchal circles of Eastern lands, in the household, in the forum, the legislative halls of States and (nations, and amid the carnage and wreck of battles. It shines forth from the lore of the ancient and mediaeval commonwealths.
