A CHASTITY EXHIBITION OF
HATRED. On the Goth Of May
General Joseph Il. Johnston, Of
Virginia, rose in his place in the
House Of Representatives and NOV.
ed an adjournment Of the House
over Decoration Day. The simple
manliness and grace Of this motion
took the House, as eye>witnesscs
testified, as if by enchantment, and
a moment of general silence was
followed by loud applause from
both sides Of the chamber. OF
course the motion was carried. II
any one Of the hundred or more
Southern members who followed
the lead of this distinguished COM
mander, believing with him that
the war. for the Union had ended
in q real re- establishment of a real
Union, cbaaced to avail himself OF
the recess TO visit the city Of New
York on Decoration Day; and be-
ing in New York CHANGED TO STROLL
through Uaion Square while a
Northern officer was making a
speech at the base Of the statue OF
Mr.. Lincola, it must have astouad-
cd him to hear such words as these
falling from that Northern officer Is
lips. On Decoration Day last year,
at the foot of Abraham Lincoln e
statue, I defended the practice of
decorating with flowers the grave s
of the rebel dead impartiaIly with
those of our dead comrades. NV
heart was not 10 those words. They
were spoken in a ct Of sentimental
generosity aroused by misrepresen-
tations of prominent rebels. I beg
to apologize for those remarks. I
would now urge that no member
of Abraham Lincoln Post lay a
Il 'wer on the grave Of rebel.
They were traitors in 1861: they
are traitors now. all winter long
they have been plotting treason in
the halls of Congress. The same
hearts burn and the same arms can
be welded as in 1861, and many
OF US live again to WELD them if
necessary"

PAUSE ERE II Is. TOO LATE
''Too late" is the exclamation of
slothful mind, except when used
by one who groans over the impos
sihility OF undoi"g the past. Then
it is but the. expression Of tie fear
ful truth that the wicked wo~ds, the
vile thoughts and the sinful acts TO
which we once gave existence,
though they mag be forgiven by
the Astounding mercy Of God, can
never be as though they had been
o0said, unthought and not done.
But when the question is the at
tainment OF knowledge, the conqucsl
of bad habit, the enrolling OF
character, the extraction Of wisd on
from past bitter experience, or liv.
ing pure life in the future, it is
wrong, foolish and false for auy
man to cry, "Too latel'' Happily
for all who have wasted their OPP
portunities in the past it is never
too late to nerd. to improve, to
repent, TO begin to rise, SO long as
reason reigns in us and mercy rules
IN heaven. Not until the Bride
groom comes ard closes the door
Of the mprtal lives Will it be too
late to retrieve the past, Then,
alas! it vii: be-" late, TOO later
