Is it Right to Decorate the Graves of
the Soldier Dead.

Is it Right to Decorate the Graves of
the Soldier Dead!
The Rev. j. B. Clark, pastor of the
Second United Presbyterian Church, of
Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, on Sun
day evening last, preached a memorial
sermon in his pulpit, by invitation of
several discharged soldiers of that city.
His text was selected from Proverbs X.
7. "The memory of the just shall be
blessed" In the following beautiful
extract which we quote therefrom, the
doctor very eloquently and forcibly an
swers the question which forms the cap
ton of this paragraph:
I know some sober people have start
ed the question, is this right? Is it
right to thus bless the memory of men
who gave their lives rather than see a
nation die? To such question there
can be but one answer. 1t is right for
that fond parent to plant a rose or
shrub on the grave of one he loved. Is
it not equally so for nation to adorn
the tomb where sleeps her brave? 1t
is not worship for the dead, but respect
like that which woman showed when
the captain of salvation was laid in the
garden tomb. The thing proposed is
honor paid to loyalty and valor. We
seek not these graves to pay homage to
talent, wealth or birth. We go not
here to drw our hearts from God, or
by weeping, to unfit ourselves for flu
ture duties (; but to pay respect to loyal
ty, to kindle afresh the fires of patriot
ism, which seemed to burn so brightly
when treason unsheathed her blood
thirsty sword. Yes we decorate those
graves in honor of faith. / mean
not that principle as related to
the eternal redemption of the soul in
heaven, but that which nerved these
men to deed of valor. They had faith
in the justice of their cause, and its
ultimate triumph. Under the power
of this they lived and by it they died.
1t was this that carried them far be-
yond the tented field, and made them
feel as if partakers in a nations bless
ed future. We decorate those graves
in honor of the victory these men
achieved for u.s. With their blood
they have brought US second indie
pendence. With their death, tyranny
was dethroned and wicked confeder-
cy blotted from the earth. Under God
they saved us from anarchy and restor.
ed the dominion of constitutional law.
And shall not Americans, from year to
year and from generation to genera
ton, celebrate the victory and lay
their floral offerings on the graves of
their dead braves -.v.
"'Tis but mound-and will be messed

THE CHINESE AND THE FREEDMEN.

i A good deal of excitement is pro
duced by the statement that the enc
mics of the freedmen in the South ar,
organizing to import the Chinese t.
drive the blackman out of the field o
his labor. The Little Rock Republican
meets and stops this panic as follows
| Here, in Arkansas are some fourteen
millions of Government lands. They
cannot be bought. They are set aside
for homesteads. Now every black man
knows that here is q farm of his own
he can at any time have for the mere
asking The trouble is the wan. OF
capital to open up and improve the
same. Hire the necessary labor be
cannot. At the same time be well
knows that if be ever expects TO be in
dependent in this world he must have a
farm of his own. Otherwise he is a
mere newer of wood and drawer of
water for his old matters still. Now,
the black sees that if Johnny China
man will work at twenty cents day,
his question of II home is solved at
once. If his former masters can hire
him now at present wages, he, in turn,
can hire Jobnny Chinaman, and turn
farmer for himself. The black, there
fore, looks at the matter very philo-
sophicaily. To begin with, he well
knows that with not less that twenty
millions Of wild land in the State, all
the Cbioamen that would wander here
in the next thirty years could not glur
The market for laoorers. Again, on the
other hand, if they should happen
which is not at all likely-to put down
the price of labor to a mere song, as
the black thinks be can
sing the song as we'll as the chivalry.
Uncle Sam will give him farm. If
Johnny Cinnamon will work the farm
80 very cheap, the black hires him al
once and becomes planter, as well as
his old employer. Ii, therefore, the
want Johnny Chinaman, the
blacks see 10 the move probable
chance of their securing by the same
means a fine farm and a proper inde
pendeEce Of their own. II the cnivalry
think to reap all the advantages to be
derived from cheap labor, they are
much mistaken 10 the blacks. We, at
least, of the two, will bet on the blacks, |
and give them three points in the game.

A TRUTHFUL SKETCH.-Let a man
fail in business, what Il wonderful effect
it has on his former friends and credi-
tors. Men who have taken him by the
arm, laughed and chaited with him by
the hour, shrug up their shoulders and
pass him by with chilling how do
YOU do?' 4 man that never failed
knows but little of human nature. ln
prosperity be sails along, gently
waited by tavorirg smiles and kind
words from everybody. He prides him
self upon his good name and spotless
character, and makes his boasts that he
has not an enemy i'll the world. Alas !!
the change, He looks upon the world
in a diff-rant light when reverses come
upon him. He reads suspicion on every
brow. He hardly knows how to move,
or whether to do this thing or the other.
To understand what kind of stuff the
world is made of, person must be un-
fortunate and stop payment once in his
lifetime. If he has kind friends, then
they are made manifest. A failure is a
moral sieve-it brings out the wheat
and shows the chatf. A man thus
learns that words aud pretended good
will not constitute real friendship.

suddenly rose several fee;, and did not
