THE RUTLAND HERALD.
Memorial Day.


A great nation bows in reverence at
the tomb of the patriot dead to-day. A
mighty people mingle garlands of flow
ers with the ashes of its buried defend
ers, in token that their memory sweetly
blossoms from the dust. Over fourth
of the habitable world, the sun looks
down upon the sacred communion of
the Republic with the spirits of its pre-
servers. From shore to shore of the
two oceans of the world, freedoms chill
dren turn with bated steps to the last
resting place of freedoms martyrs.
From countless hills and valleys ascends
the music of the martial dirge. The
measured cadence Of the memorial gun,
answering from town to town and from
State to State, stirs the heart of the nation.
The national banner, heavy with the
symbols Of mourning, canopies the
graves of those who upheld iteyen to the
'tValley Of the Shadow of Death. The
soldierly tread of a million veterans, re-
calls the scenes in which those whose
memory is revived to-day, acted well
their part.
What did those men accomplish whose
deeds we commemorate. They main
tanned inviolate the national territory and
the Union of the States. They demon
strated and set forever all doubts as to
the strength of a popular government,
proving that the freest government is
the strongest and that no form of gov
eminent can exhibit so much power and
endurance as that which has its founda-
tons in the living, throbbing, pulsing
hears Of its people. Our soldiers struck
off the chains that bound four millions
of people down to seryitude and dust
ia thraldOm of whose duration the
wisest could see no end. They found
them chattels, and left themmen. With
out this act Of justice our victory would
have been robbed of its browning glory.
They baptised the nation INTO higher
and newer life of liberty; the Declare
ton of Independence, with its grand ut
terances for man and freedom, has been
crystalized into organic law, and our free
institutions have been placed on foun-
dation as solid as the rock ribbed earth.
For these grand results we are indebt-
ed to the patriotism of the peOple-to
the valor, the devotion and heroic
achievements of the sailor and soldier.
we owe them, the living and the dead,
a debt of gratitude which can never be
fully paid. The hearts of the living
have ever fondly fingered about the
burial places of the dead they loved.
The hand of affection has ever delighted
to decorate their last resting places with
the mementoes of affectionate regard.
In what more delicate and impressive
manner can we honor our soldier dead
and show our regard for them than to
assemble annually around thei: graves
and adorn them with fresh May flowers
and evergreens, for
-Four hundred thousand men
The brave, the good, the true,
In tangled wood, in mountain glen,
On battle plain and prison pen,
Lie dead for me and you'll
Four hundred thousand of the brave,
Have made our ranSOmed soil their graves,
For me and you,
Good friend, for me and you.

TALK AT THE ToILEr.-Everv lady's
maid knows that the bewitching being.
who pave their triumphant way with con-
qrered hearts, regard a splendid head Of
hair the most effective of an womanlv fas-
cinatons. They believe, and they are
right, that they can Iasso as many beauz
with the luNuriant ringlets and glossy
braias, as they can kill at sight'' with
their beamin@ eyes. Hence in their ..toi-
Jet talk among themselves and with their
attendants, the merits OF preparations for
TIE hair are freely canvassed. and the lat
e-tresult ofthis discussion seems to bethe
almost universal adoption OF Lyons Kath-
akron a. an article better adapted to pro-
mote ithe growth and beauty OF
the ''Chief Glory OF woman than any
other at present before the world. They
say that without irritating the skin Of tie
head it eradicates dandTuR. ana that II
penetrates below the surface TO the roots
OF the hair, endowing them with new Hfe
and vigor.
