DECORATION DAY AT GERMANTOWN
Grafton of Hon. Horace Maynard.

The Philadelphia Press, of Tuesday, gave q
very full and interesting account of the Dccora-
ton services on Monday at Philadelphia and
Germontown, At the latter place, the grafton
for the occasion was delivered by our distinguish
ed Representative in Congress. It's length for
bids us from publishing it in full. We give the
opening and closing parts, which commend
to the attention of our readers as fine specimens
| of eloquence:
THE GRAFTON.
THE grand mystery of life and death still
hangs over the race. AS it has been from the
beginning, man goes to his long home and the
| mourners go about the streets. The conscious
ness of our own mortality but makes more
poignant the anguish when our friends are taken
away me bereayed heart cries out, Behold
and see il there is any sorrow like unto my sor-
row. AS time, by degrees, assuages the bitter
ness of grief faith intervenes and suggests top
les of consolation. Death is the common lot,
and it is but q question of sooner or later Said
the Grecan father, when told of the sudden and
premature death of n faverte son, II know he
was child of mortality. What results had life,
short as i was, accomplished? What remained
to dQP Was it better nobler or more honorable
to die than to live? How stands the account be-
tween the living and the dead?'
These inquiries arise unbidden around the
graves of those who died honorably and beau
tifully for their country Their lives were hon
orable, their deaths were glorious. Our sorrow
gives place to joy, our Funeral marches to notes
of triumph As year by year we recede further
and further from them, their characters are
thrown into firm light They stand out in lof-
tier proportions And admiration, respect, vene-
ration succeed TO the first involuntary distress of
natural affection. Who now sheds tears for
Washington and Lincoln, or bewails their death?
Their memory places them in higher sentiments
of mankind Their wonderful and heroic lives
still inger in the thoughts of some, their death
is forgotten. Many are immortal.
They were not born to die

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT OsCEoLA- Sat
urday night last, FIRE broke out in the ex-
tensiye numbering establishment of the Mo-
shannon Land aud Lumber Company, in
Osceola, this county The mills, together
with from ten to twelve millions feet of lum-
Der, three dwelling houses in the vicinity,
and the freight depot, trestle work and por-
ton of the railroad track, we're consumed.
The lumber belonged TO several parties.
The loss of the Company IS about $3.50. 600,
but Is partly covered by insurance The
next heaviest losers are Nessrs. 4. B. Long
and Sons, whose loss is about $30,000-no
insurance. The oiher losses are not report
ed. The wrole loss is near $3O0,0UO The
fire originated, as y G understand, from the
explosion OF lamp in the hands of one of
the workmen, who had gone into the oil
room, in the discharge of his duty. Every
means were used to stop the cunilagration,
but the flames spread aith such rap;dity Is
to preclude all Efforts The destruction OF
this property will be seriously felt by the
parties immediately interested, and viii
have tendency to reiard the growth of Os-
ceola. But, this viii be Of bat 4 temporary
character, for, we presume, that the mills
will be rebuilt at an early day, and then,
Ph0aix ike, that eutorpris:nS borough will
arise from its ashes and advance more rap
idly than ever.

an"yau-inr meeting Of citizens at the
Court Hcu-c OF Saturday last. About the
bour designated, we made inquiry as to the
meeting, but could ascertain nothing def
n.,e IN regard to it. The object Of the
meeting was to take some action IN reference
TO the public grounds But, what was
d5ncE We presume nothing. These grounds
have been under control of private parties
Tor the last tcn years, ostensibly for the pur-
pose Of Improvement and beautiiying, and
the principal improvement has accrued to
the pockets of those who had charge OF
them. Let the Borough officers now try
what they can do. If these grounds can
not be beautifed in such manner as to be
! credit to our town, then tear down TIE
iences aud let the public have the use of
them, instead of private parties. This is

LOVE UP A TREE.

There was seat in the apple tree
A most delightful and cosy nook;
And one afternoon about haf'past three,
Kitty sat there reading book,
Her fair head bare with no hat 10 mar,
And her dress lust showed one dainty boot;
And he saw her as he smoked his cigar,
And he came and stood at the ladder loot'
Kitty half blushed, then smiled and said,
Won't you come up and SIT here nowy'
And Kitty's brother "A boy TO dread,
Saw and determined to raise row;
SO he crept softly under the tree,
Listening to all they had to say,
Did tho impish brother, and sly as could be,
Seized the ladder and bore II away.
Then they saw him, and she with frown,
Said Whai will that awful boy do nextF
And she called him the greatest scamp In town,
Yet don't believe she was very much Vexed, ,
For her lips haf smiled though her eyes hail crled
And she saw the position OF matters now,
And he came over and sat by her side,
Leaving his place on the opposite bough.
What could they do2 They were captiyes there,
Held as If by an iron hand
Kitty tossed back her golden hair,
And reneCtigely leaned her cheek on her haqd,
"IG said he, "we for help should call,
They'd laugh to see Us in such plight,
So we'd best stay here till the shadows iall,
Or till some one or other comes in sight
And some one did come 1t was Ktty's papa,
Who past the tree his footsteps traced,
And saw through the leaves lighted cigar
And masculine arm round FEMININE waist.
Kitty looked down and blushed at one,
And then looked up and blushed at the other;
Said her father These are nice goings ON
Said she, st was all the fault OF my brother"
What was the end? III tell you that.
some months after, mid silks and lace,
And ribbons and richea, some ladies sat,
Who were discussing the time and place
As to when-so ran their debate
And where certain wedding should be;
Then that impsh brother was heard to state,
- 1t had better come of IN the apple tree"

could not have done SO; but be careful,

"He'd better not be making eyes at my

Corks, as, accompanied by the female in
mauve, he made his way out of the court,
casting vengeful chances at Epaminondas.
Guarded by Sarah Jane, however, the
latter safely reached the railway station,
and, after a much wanted meal, started
upon his homeward journey.
In due course they reached Primrose
