Floral offerings Upon Graves,

In regard to this beautiful custom
the State Journal remarks epleas-
ing Old World custom of bearing flow
ers to the graves of friends who have
been loved while living, has received
adoption in this busting New World of
ours. We know not how far back in
history the custom had its origin. Per-
haps very early the love borne the
precious dead by some broken heart,
suggested that wreaths of immortelles
would best typify the immortal affec-
ton which death often deepens, and
garlands of flowers best express the pu-
rity and beauty of that devotion which
death never destroys. In our country,
offerings of flowers have been place d
upon the graves of soldiers, chiefly,
and the motive which prompts the be-
stowal OF these touching tributes, is
that of loyal devotion to the cause
which they gave up their lives to make
triumphant. In no more tender way
can we show that their memory is cher
ished, their deeds held in precious re-
membrance and their sacrifice Of life
deemed worthy of perpetual praise. In
the cemeteries on the Continent, the
presence or absence of flowers denotes
whether or not the buried dead live in
the hearts of friends that are left be-
hind. The graves of Heloise and Abel
ard and other dear immortals cwho
have been dead for centuries, are al
most hidden from sight by garlands
and wreaths of fresh flowers. And all
over the Continent fresh made graves
are dotted over or carpeted with beauti-
full and fragrant flowers, placed there
\ by loving friends, in quiet evening OF
morning hours, as ifby unseen hands,
or had been dropped down from heav
en-. And so without ostentation oil
parade we should wehd our way to thu
graves of those heroes who have dice
for us-for our country's PRESERVATION
e --and strew with flowers their resting
q places, and make the earth that covers
each martyr to the holiest cause, sweet
) with fragrance aud radiant with beauty
: as will betheimemory of every heroi,
3 life and heroic death. sss2 -
