is proposed to hold In our columns cannot
fail, indeed, to be productive of great and
lasting good. AS Mrs. Sherwood points
out, the publication of letters giving the
experiences of those who have been particu-
larly successful may prove an example and
an incentive for those who are still strug-
Cling against adversely, while, on the other
hand, the publication of the experiences of
the poor and unfortunate may raise up for
them new friends and allies. Thus the
loyal woman of the country will become
mutually helpful to each other, and life for
all will take on brighter and more cheer
full aspect.
We trust, therefore, that their letters will
pour In upon us by the hundreds and by the
thousands. Whatever the subject of their
communications the matter in
regard to which they may wish to secure
advice or information-they will always be
welcome.

A nremorial-Not a Festival.

The extent to which the general public
have of late years participated in the observ-
ance of Memorial Day is justly regarded by
our veterans as an indication that the ami
versary has taken deep root in the Nations
affections, but there is always danger that a
popular holiday, however sacred its origin
and solemn the event which it commence
rates, will degenerate into mere occasion
for merrymaking, and our comrades of the
Grand Army cannot be too careful, therefore,
to conduct their memorial rites and ceremo-
MES with becoming dignity and decorum.
Not merely their speech, but their personal
bearing, should reveal the veneration which
they feel for the duties Of the day, and
equally while marching in procession OF
strewing the memorial flowers, or engaged
in the literary and musical exercises that
follow, their demeanor should be such as to
impress the public with sense of the real
significance and meaning of the anniversary
At such time levity is sadly out of place,
and his must be trifing and shallow
nature that, amid such surroundings, would
descend to it.
To our eyes there is no spectacle at once
so touching and impressive as column of
gray-haired veterans bearing through the
crowded streets the floral emblems of
remembrance. It carries us back to the
time when the hands that are now filled
with blossoms clutched the sword and the
musket, and it carries us forward to the
day when, meekly folded across the breast,
the strength and the tenderness shall have
gone out from them forever
And then the scene at the graves of our
comrades, when the flowers are scattered, or.
it may be, the colors they so dearly loved
planted over the sacred sod-is it not
enough to stir the most sluggish pulse to
see how the soldier remembers?
And now, when the sound of the farewell
volley has died away, and from the lips of
the orator fall the burning words that tell
the story of the soldiers valor, is there
aught more potent to replenish the springs
of patriotism than the inspiration of this
moment?
Let us take care, then, that upon the
observance of Memorial Day no thoughtless
act intrudes, no frivolity mars its beauty,
no unseemly mirth disturbs its deep solem-
nifty. Consecrated to the dead, let us keep
this anniversary unsullied by the wanton
touch of Momus.
