! day be well kept, the frail and fading flowers
| conveys a lesson to us making us more thought
| full and better prepared to await our turn. Nor
| de we need the towering pillar inscribed with
| hOnored names and gallant deeds. For these,
| who sleep beneath the flowers, nobler monu-
| ment has been erected-more lasting than
marble or brass. 1t is the loving remembrance
| of a grateful country. When we are gone, our
| country will yet live, and upon her heart will
| remain forever engraven The names and deeds
OF her sons who sustained her in her hour of
trial and OF peril. The recurrence of this day
| brings to me fearful recollection of the mar

| roar of artillery, the shout of encouragement
| and command, the flashing squadron securing
DER the plain, the defeat the victory. the bier

IN the glow of the setting sun, l have seen him

duty, and inpeled by love of principle cast
his lot upon the other side and lost his life in
deadly conflict with the friends of his early

espouse the cause against our Union, yet /

GSpeeials to Pressl
SacO and BiddefOrd.
BIDDEFoRD, May 80.
A more beautiful day for the impressive and
interesting ceremonies of Memorial Day than
was Saturday could scarce be imagined, A clear
sky and gentle breeze from the south made
the marching of the comrades very pleasant,
the only drawback to the occasion being the
horribly dusty condition of the streets outside
of the city proper. The day was more gener-
ally observed in Saco than ever before. By re-
quest of Mayor Carter business was entirely
suspended during the forenoon and the time set
apart in which to pay passing tribute to the
memory of those thirty gallant fellows whose
silent homes are within the gates of Laurel
Hill Cemetery. Early in the morning
crowds flocked in from the surrounding towns
and all the city folk betook themselves to the
Cemetery or gathered along the route of pro-
cesslon to catch slmpses at the boys in blue or
hear their solemn music. At about 10 O'Clock a
procession was formed in front of City Hall
and marched directly to Laurel Hill in the fol-
lowing order, viz:
Detachment of police under Marshal Durgin.
Capt. r. NJ. Stevens, Chief Marshal
Aids
Institute Band. tt..r
Biddeford Light Infantry.
Yarmouth Band.
-.4 Shel idan Cadets.
Saco Steamer Co. No. L.
Thirty-seven young ladies in white, in open car
riages
City Government in carriages.
Citizens. IS.
Arriving at thelCemetery prayer was offered
by Rev. Mr.. Wetherbee and then the Rev. c.
H. Weber delivered an eloquent and mastery
address, which was touching tribute to the
memory of the fallen heroes The ceremony
of decorating the graves was next in order.
The young ladies and members of the G. A. r.
did this, and after each of the thirty graves had
been marked with some token of love and re-
membrance, the line was reformed and march
for town taken up. The procession was dis.
missed at City Hall, the G. A r. Light lnfan-
try and bands marching to Biddeford.
In Biddeford the mills all shut down and the
day was observed as holiday. In the after
noon no business was transacted and the
crowds on the streets were immense. Owing
to the lateness of the return from Saco the pro-
cession in Biddeford did not form until nearly
o'clock. 1t passed up Adams street past City
Hall in the following order:
--t Platoon of Police under Capt. Pike
Marshal and Aids.
ms ltute Band, II pieces.
