friends is a beautiful custom, but
there is a time for all things, and
the graves Of the dead soldiers
should not be neglected or made
secondary objects on the day. set
apart for their decoration. We
know that those who have sainted
dead buried in our cemeteries like
to show their affection for them,
and it is only proper. Yet that
duty can be doneat all times, every
day in the week or year, whereas
there is but one day for the poor
unknown soldier, and that one day
ought to be wholly devoted to his
grave, and all the flowers that can
be gathered placed upon it, We
hope that our people will consider
this matter, and remember here,
