TRIBUTES TO THE DEAD.


The custom adopted from the French
of once a year decorating in forma!
and solemn manner the graves of de-
ceased soldiers, is one which commends
Itself to the hearts of all who hold hee
role virtues in kind remembrance.
Private affection has long found natu-
raj and beautiful expression in 1oraA
which loved forms take their final rest.
The demonstration proposed for
our fallen braves to-day is demanded
and approved by the better feelings
and sentiments of all true and loyal
hearts. In strowing flowers upon the
graves oftho dead who gave up life in
order that the nation might live, we
honor loyalty, virtue, patriotism and
herOisn. We commend the brave deeds
the dead performed, and the noble ex-
hibition OF manly virtue which they
gave to The young men who constitute
the pride and strength of the State.
But more and better than all, we re-.
new thereby the dcvotions of the living
at the pure altar OF Freedom and the
Union, on which these brave men were
offered as the precious sacrifice which
maintained our coCntry's cause.
There are losses greater than that of
life and evils more terrible than that of
war. The loss of manly courage, of
regard for national honor and justice,
of q lofty devotion to country, from the
hearts of our youth, would be more ter
rible than to see them fall in death tes-
tifylng their devotion to high and holy
objects. 1t Is better to mistake the
stern and irrevocable DEGREES of the
sword than to submit to the endless
and unmerciful agressions of despots
and Oppressors.
When the martial spirit is lost among
the young men of q nation. the moral
life OF that people is dead also. For
the mere tinsel and toppery of military
parade, we may have but little re-
spect, but for the spirit which inci,es
men to undergo the hardships, endure
the privations OF the soldier, we have
the most exalted admiration and re-
gard. In honoring the fallen sufferers
for the country and for her freedom
we magnify and exalt the cause itself.
The brave soldier does not fear to die
but he can not In suffering bear TO
think that his services will be forgot en-
afterward by those for whom he dies,
Every. heartfelt tribute to the memory
of the fallen braves, is an encourage
ment to all to be brave and true, when
in a like manner called for the service
OF country and kindred.
The merchants, manufacturers and
business men OF this city are asked to
close up for this afternoon and allow
themselves and their employees to en-
gage in the services of the day. Let
there be no hesitation or reluctance to
comply with this reasonable request.
1t we'll enough once in a while to at
tend for season to a nobler and a
higher service than that which NAM
mon imposes. By breaking his bonds
occasionally we let the inexorable "eod
ofthis world" know that he cannot al
ways be our master. Honor to whom
honor, and tribute to whom .tribute
is due Is command of high obligation
and we can not disregard it without
violence to the sentiments and feelings
ofhuman nature.

BIeGL are the martyred dead who lie
In holy graves for Freedom won.
Whose stOIled deeds shall never die,
While coming years their circles run.
BlssG be the ground where heroes sleep.
And blcst the flag that DER them waves,
Itg radiant stars their watch shall keep,
And brightly beam on hallowed graves.
While Freedom lives their fame shall live
In glory on her blazing scroll,
And Love her sacrifice snail give,
While anthems round the altar roll.
Year after year our hands shall bear
Immortal flowers IN VernRl bloomu

Immortal life beyond the tomb.

BRANDRETH's PILLS.

Brandreth's Pills have been known and
used by your grandfathers and grandm 9TH
ers. They are always safe, and sure to do
you good. They are purely vegetable, and
diminish the death principles; some think
they Increase the principle of life. But in
taking out bad hunnors from the blood, they
do make the body lighter. and thus seem TO
add energy. Many families have used them
for upwards OF forty years.
They are the best medicine for Colds, for
all Bilious Affections, for Fullness about the
Head or Heart, and in all Cutaneous and
Contagious Diseases they are unrivalled. In
all cases where a purgative Is indicated, no
medicine yet known can be compored to
them. Two hundred physicians ave testi-
ned that Brandreth's Pills are superior to
all other purgatlves whatever. Sold by all

Tho SICK nnd mnImcd soldiers.

Ex-Governor Andrew G. Curtin was
Gerenaded by a large number of the
citizens OF Harrisburg, Penn, on Mon
day night, and in the course of his re-
marks i'll response to the compliment,
said:
"Let us stand by our Government
the most benefcent ever given to man
kind. Let US remember with satisfac.
ton the great charity under which this
old Commonwealth has gathered up the
INDECENT orphans and fed, and clothed,
and educated them. The blessing of
Heaven must rest upon a people who
do SO much for suffering humanity.
Before l leave you, however, let me
say something more. Allow me to say,
that with all your charity, this great
and wealthy, and prosperous people
have done nothing for the soldier. Eve
~ manned soldier who begs for liv-
ing is Il standing monument OF your
ingratitude. Every man that went to
the frontal were assured that their
wives and their children should be
maintained in their absence; and liV-
ing, sick and manned, they should be
maintained as soldiers and not as pau
pars. That pledge has not been re-
deemed. ! will not be here at the next
election, but 1 ask you to pledge me
that you will not vote for any nan to
represent you that will not take from
the public treasury enough TO maintain
every Pennsylvania soldier who may
need il, like gentleman and soldier
not like beggar. The soldier who
periled his life to maintain the Repub-
lie while you remained at home in ease,
and comfort and Iaxury, deserves the
support OF thu Commonwealth from
those who enjoy the fruits Of his hard
earned Victories"
