FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE IA. 1878

To-day our streets will be crowded with
people engaged in paying honor to the
memory of the Confederate dead. There
will be little, save some formalities, of
f1nereal character in the ceremonies. AS
the wears have passed by, the sadness of the
memory has gradually passed away until
to-day the smouldering ashes of a once
burning grief are only found in the hearts
OF those who are allied by kinship to those
who lie under the sod. The event has
become more of a celebration in which the
heroic virtues of the dead are revived, and
the once mourners give expression to their
happy remembrance Of the fact that these
men were Of us and were patriotic enough
and unselfsh enough and brave enough to
give their lives for principle. And in
deed there is nothing to regret in the man
ner of their departure. In all ages the CIV
ing of mans life in the behalf of a con-
viction has been accounted the most noble
of lends. It carries an enduring glory
which never clings to the deaths of those
who plod out quiet existence and lie
down and die. The opportunity of fame
came to them as it will never come to those
who come after them. That they won
nothing but grave is a small matter-that
goes into the great sum Of events which
are disposed of by greater than man-for
if they had won all they fought for they
could not stand higher in our hearts than
their memories stand to-day. Nor so high,
for had they lived the memory of their
deeds would have faded-the memory OF
their death never will. They passed beyond
the veil with their shields untarnished and
their swords unstained, a happy ending.
But we owe these men something more
than flowers, and salutes, and parades.
These are but the outward evidences of our
debt. We owe them to see to it that our
lives are guided and controlled by principle,
even if it leads to the grave. That no al
lurement of ease or advantage shall entice
us from the straight path Of right; that
we shall not tempofize with any wrong
however great the odds against us, and
that the self sacrifice which was shown in
the lives of those we honor to-day, shall
also pervade our lives. If we do this, then
we discharge our debt to those who have
gone. If we fall short, then we dishonor
their example. The death of these men as
it appeals to us now, has nothing to do with
union or disunion, the Confederate or the
Federal governments, or the rights, OF
wrongs Of either; it only appears to us as
the sublime spectacle of men who believed
in what they did and who gave their lives
for principle. The men who fill these
graves have passed from citizens into sol
diers, from soldiers into martyrs and from
martyrs into teachers. From these last we
must learn. Panegyries over the Union
or lamentations over the Confederacy, are
equally sout of place in the presence OF the
shades of men who died in teaching the
highest of lessons, and the introduction OF
the past shows that we have not reached
the height to which the example of the
dead should carry us.

clearly that he stood to that party in the
