I'm LLndeninhIe Truth.

You deserve to suffer, and if you lead a
miserable, unsatisfactory life in this world,
it is entirely your own fault and there is only
one excuse for you,-your unreasonable pref
udice aud skepticism, which has killed thous-

reasoning will soon show you that Green's
August Flower will cure you of Liver Com
plaint, OF Dyspepsia, with all its miserable eff
fects, such as sick headache, palpitation of
the heart, sour stomach, habitual costveness,
dizziness of the head, nervous prostration,
low spirits, &c. Its sales now reach every
town on the Western Continent and not a
druggist but what will tell you of its wonder
full cures. You can buy sample bottle for
10 cents. Three doses will relieve you. Fol

DECORATION DAY.-Decoration Day was
observed in this city by the usual services.
At 2 o'clock, p. NJ, Co. G. and number of
returned soldiers, accompanied by Winkler's
Band, proceeded to Mount Hope Cemetery,
where after music by the band and singing by
the Orphean Musical Association, prayer was
offered by Rev. II. G. Williams. Rev. T. E.
Vassar, of Pennington, a chaplain in one of
the New York Regis during the late war;
delivered an eloquent address. At its close,
the graves were decorated, the band playing
a drge. The exercises where somewhat inter-
fered with aud the interest married by the
rain. Considering the weather, the audience
at the Cemetery was very creditable. at the
close of the exercises the beneGiction was
pronounced by Rev. I. B. Newly, M. d.
Below we give the address of Rev. Mr..
Vassar 1t will be read with interest by those
who were prevented from hearing it
ADDRESS.
Standing amid these burial acres where so
often have fallen the mourner's tears, the YER
dure of early Summer opening around,
sabbatic stiffness brooding on the very
air, 1t might be well to lay the garlands
of our affection on these graves silently, and
then go hence leaving the quiet unbroken save
by our words of praise and prayer.
Since it has been otherwise arranged, how
ever, give me for little space your sympathies,
remembering that all human utterance must
need fall below the level of the place and
hour,
Not for the sake of making vain display
are the pursits of industry here and elsewhere
partially or entirely given up to-day. Not
for mere parade have we come hither with
draped and trailing colors. Not as an idle,
senseless ceremony are badges of grief put
ON. Little taste have men who once shared
the stern realities of soldier life for fuss or
sham or show. We simply consecrate these
hearts to the memory of comrades now for
earth no more. Once year we bring such
tribute as survivors may to lay upon the graves
of those who fought to plant the nations
flag on every staff whence treason tore it, but
who died without the sight.
So have all lands and ages honored their
loyal sons Hebrew poetry has few strains
more sadly sweet than the dirge chanted over
"the beauty of Israel" falling down in the
dust and darkness on Gilboa's tragic heights,
and old Greece and Rome turned out no pro-
cessons surprising those that went with
speech aud song and offering to do homage to
their heroic dead.
Not with such tokens of regard as they
were wont to bear do we gather at these
tombs. Our gifts Of remembrance are not

LIGHTNING ROD swlNDLeRs.

As an item of interest to those who
gave their notes TO the lightning rod
swindlers last summer, VIC would re-
mark that friend of ours who has
recently been in Western bank, says
that when the crew left the locality of
the bank in which he was engaged,
they left the notes behind them in the
bank and when they became due the
bank collected them with interest.
Those who gave the notes supposed
that they we're to pay no interest for
the first year, but the note was written
"with use," little dodge that most
people did not understand to mean the
same as with interest. We do not
know whether the crowd along last
fall took notes on which there was no
interest for the first year, but if they
did, we venture to guess that those
who gave such notes will have interest
to pay from the time the note was Civ
en-.
