To-day. as the pulses powerful
Of the glad young year awake,
1t would seem that with tokens howerfull
A nation had gone to take.
While passing in throngs professional
Over sweeps of mellow sod.
The sky for blue confessional.
And to tell its grief to God!
But more than to march regretfully
With the earth reverted gun.
And more than to merge forsetfuily
The Blue and the Gray in one.
Were to love, with its sweet sublimity.
The thought of an endless peace,
And to yearn in grand unaninity,
That war might forever ceasel
For how is your service beautiful,
o mourners that meet to day!
If the hands that are now so dutiful
Shall to morrow spoil and slay:
Ifthe hate that your love is leveling
Shall to- morrow lift its brow.
And redden with bloody reyeling
The graves that you garland now?
For only if all humanity
Gould have learned to well abhor
The imperious blind insanity,
The iniquitous waste of war,
Would the splendid and stainless purity
OF to-day beam out afar,
Down the iuskiness cf faturity.
As with light of a morning starl
And then would the blooms you shed upon
These numheriess grave mounds be
As though Ehe devs they had fed upon
Were the waters OF Galileel'
MEA ANDERER.

AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange-
lnent OF the stomach, bowels, and liver.
AYERS CATHARrIC PILLS act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed TO
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
ton, Dyspepsia, headache, Dysentcry,
and host OF other ailments, for all OF
which they a safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use Of these
PILLS by eminent PL ysicians in regular prac-
tlce, shows ulingstakably the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profess
sion.
These PILLS are compounded OF vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
Sufferer from Headache writes:
AYERS PILLS are invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion. l have been
a severe sufferer from Headache, and your
PILLS are the only thing l could look to
for relief One dose will quickly move ny
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are tie most effective and the easiest Ihysic

One of the most unfortunate traits of
human nature was aptly and sarcas-
ticaliy touched upon by the brave old
General Scott, after the close of the
war, when he said, "It will now be
impossible TO restrain the fury of the
non n-combatants" At the same time
one OF the grandest incidents of human
nature is the fact that the bravest sol
dier is most generous and considerate
toward a fallen foe.

MUNDANE NIEANDERINGs.

The saddest and yet the sweetest of
all our holidays is Decoration Day,
when over the graves of the heroic
dead the clinging vines of loving and
affectionate memory bursting into ful
bloom at once, enshrine the loved and
lost and cover the ghastly scars of war.
Under the sacred influence of such a
scene have stood amid the graves and
heard a grand and generous soldier
speak with eloquent tenderness of all
the soldier dead, Goth those who wore
the blue ami those who wore the G ray.
Unhappily too, | remember seeing a
similar sacred occasion rudely desc
Grated by the feeble frOthings of a
non ombatant," who frantically
vomited forth stale political rot and
| spiteful sectional hate.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1885-06-04

In the midst of our veneration for
the dead heroes I am reminded how
much we also owe to the surviving
soldiers-so ready to fight when war
was a necessity, and yet so eager to
cordially and truly welcome peace
when honorable peace became possible.
The true soldier abhOrs war and hates
sectionalism. He loves peace, his
country and all his countrymen.
Bravely he can WELD the sword, yet
gladly cast it down for the mighticr
power of fratsrnal love. Simple but
grand are these traits. Like sweet
incense is such a life. In death such
a character rises, like a white monu-
ment, far above the conceptions of the
base and sOrdid.

Extension of the Ii. g. O. Line.

The Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company
has been Incorporated under the laws of the
State, with a capital stock of 800, 600. The di-
rectors are d. T. Bacon, s. 7. Sheerin, and FL.
d. McMullen. Originally the Indianapolis line
and Office operated without any direct authority
of the law, and did business only on the O. M.
railroad from the Miami to the Wabash rivers.
The lines will be extended in various directions
throughout the State, and to that
end articles for a reorganization
have been fled in forty-two counties. A wrangle
with the j., NJ. & l. Railroad Company has oc-
casioned this reorganization and extension of
the company. Just above Seymour there is a
dispute over some territory, and the company is
now extending a line over the Lam with o view
to test the claim. The proposed extension of
their lines is as follows: From North Vernon
to Louisville, from Washington tDaviess county,
to Evansville, from Indianapolis to Richmond.
from Indianapolis to Logansport, from Logans-
port to Plymouth, and over the entire lines of
the "Nickel-plate' and B. & @. Railroad Com
panies in the northern part of the State.

The band played, and q tall man came out,
with a soft felt hat, dressed in plain black, erect
and animated, who was instantly recognized as
"Old Abe" and hearty cheers, with q few groans,
greeted the speaker. The spectacle was inspir-
ing to a few, and momentous to many. Itmight
mean a fight, or it might mean renewed courage.
It certainly meant that a man stood on the edge
of a giant undertaking. He began by reminding
his hearers of that bravest of bravery. that kind
of fair play and a chance for q fair
hearing that Western men had never
denied and always respected. He referred
strikes one when unarmed or under his adver-
sary, and that chivalry known even up among
the rude mountains of his early home in Ken
-tucky-where he hoped many Of his hearers had
hunted in the days of their boyhood-the home
OF brave men and fair women-the home of fair
play and generous manhood. Over to the West
ern border had come the sons of Kentucky's best
homes-and SO he went on, earnestly, graphic
ally, eloquently, gaining his hearers sym
pathy, good will. and applause until men
swung their broad hats in the air, crowded
up near the platform, or broke out in strong
sentences, like He's right" We've been

ton IN Leavenworth. It braced up the settlers,
quieted the raiders, encouraged free thought,
and endeared him to the people, as his speeches
did to all audiences It proved that he was a
master of men and a master of oratory, the art
that comes by surprise, captures the will and
convinces the judgment. America has had but
one Lincoln.
