DECORATION DAY.

BY popular usage which has continued
long enough to be regarded as an established
custom, the 3olh of May is set apart for
decorating with flowers the graves of the
brave soldiers who gave their lives TO their
country in the late war. # is a beautiful
custom, aud it has taken such deep root that
1t is not likely to be discontinued during the
present generation. So far as we are aware
there is nothing similar TO it in any observance
practised by any modern nation. Neither the
French nor the Germans decorate the graves
of the men who fell in the great battles of
1870 Our own war differed from others in
the fact that it was set on foot by the people
rather than by the government, and consid-
ering it their own canse, they feel a peculiar
interest in those who fought for it. Another
explanation of the greater interest We feel in
cur fallen soldiers rs found in the nature OF
our armies, which consisted almost entirely
Of volunteers fresh from home ties and ssso-
Citations, while the great contests Of other
countries are waged by regular standing
armies, separated from the great body Of The
people by the fact that they are soldiers by
trade. 1t makes great difference in The
popular feeling toward an army whether ID
consists OF the flower of the young men Of q
country, who sought temporary military ser
vice by the promptings Of intelligent Pairi-
otsm, or whether it consists Of men who
habiiually live in state Of separation iron TIRE

ether nations understand perfectly well lba,
our military vigor would be as strsnnously
extended in a foreign war as it was in our civil
conflict. it is not merely what the North
did, bal what both North and South did,
that has given this country a character for
military ability and resources which makes il
formidable in the eyes of all nations. In this
respect those who fought on both sides rem
dered a great service to the country by
demonstrating that the sections which were so
powerful against each other would be irresis-
Nble against an external foe. The attested
bravery Of our whole people will save us from
foreign attacks, and the blood spilled in our
civil conflict may thus save us an equal loss
Of life in wars with other powers.

DEATHS


DIED, suddenly, May 9th, at her residence
in this county, Miss ELIZA MOORE, in her
18th year.
"Biessed are the pure in heart for they shall
see God" S.M.
DIED, on Monday afternoon, 28th of Nav,
1877, WIN. VERNON, third sou Of james F.
and Anna L. Poole, aged l6 years.
Death a, any age OF life is sad, but when
it selects for its victim person in the first
flush OF youth, when the heart begins 10 be
stirred with impulses to noble desires and
high aspirations and upon the awakening
perceptions of the mind begins to dawn the
joys, duties and pleasure of life, sad, very
sad, indeed is death.
He was afflicted with an incurahle malady,
tumour on the brain, which little less than
one year ago doubly afflicted him with deaf
ness and blindness; thus his distressed parents
saw their beloved son slowly but surely fading,
as the bright summer flower before the FIRST
frost Of autumn, into an untmely grave,
without any means to relieve or alleviate his
suffering, for amongst the best OF human skill
bad been consulted, who gave no hope Of
recovery, they became calmly submissive TO the
Almighty decree and could cheerfully say mot
my will, but thine, o God, be done !" whom
the Lord loveh he chaseneth"
He had early given his heart to his Saviour
and connected himself with his church The
Psalmst says "they who copeth up through
great tribulatiou shall be washed and made
white in the blood OF the Lamb"
Weep not for me, dear mother,
For have gone before,
To tread the narrow pathway,
To welcome you at the door.
Weep not for me, kind father,
For great is my reward,
A long and eternal lifetime
In the presence Of ms God,
Grieve not for me, true friends,
For all your grief is vain.
For when the last trump shall sound
shall triumphant rise again.

ANOTHER New SwISDLE. The following
item is going the rounds of our exchanges
Another new swindle has been developed, the
moiHs operdadi Of which is as follows:
A pack peddlcr calls at house with fine
lot of articles which he offers at ruinous sacri-
ices. he makes sale and goes on his way
The next day two men drive up TO the door
with paper, giving an account of the rob
berry of a certain store. They claim The goods
aud usually bulldoze the purchaser into giving
them up. II would be well for the newspapers
throughout the Stale to give these swndlers
the benefit of gratuilous advertisement, so
as to guard the readers against such impostors.
People who do not read the papers would be
then the only suferers--and this class, may
be added, are generally the ones who are taken
in by the plausible rascals.
