He has a really fine stock, and offers

Forks and Spoons, at very low prices.

sented by him.

THE SOLDIERS CRAVE.

Night winds arc mournfully sweeping,
Whispering oak branches wave
Where your loved ashes are sleeping,
Forms of the true and brave!
Silence rcigns brcathlcss around you.
All your stern conflicts are DER,
Deep is the sleep that hath bound you,
Trumpet shall rouse you no more.
Sweet and serene be your slumber!
Hearts for whose freedom yc bled,
Millions, whom no man can number,
Tears of sad gratitude shed.
Never shall morn brightly breaking
Enter your chambers of gloom,
TIL the last trumpet 1wak!ng,
Sound thro' the depths of the tomb.
Our venerable felIow-citizen, Hon.
Andrew Hunter, was then introduced
by the President of the Association,
and addressed the assemblage for a
short while. lie stood before his au-
dicncc rs the connecting link of three
generations, embracing within them
the most trying epochof our country's
history, and although the weight of
years has robbed him of much of the
fire of his earlier days, when he stood
the peer of the most eloquent of our
Virginia orators, Mr.. Hunter was lis
tened to with marked attention, and
our people were glad to hear an adj
dress from him once more.
The Hon. Wm. L. Wilson then fol-
lowed in a brief but eloquent address.
paying ALLOWING tribute to those with
whom he had shared the dangers and
privations of a soldiers life, and ex-
pressing the general feeling of thank
fulness that the march of time is fast
healing over the bloody chasm occa-
stoned by the war, and that gentle
peace prevails all over our broad and
prosperous country.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Wilson'S
remarks the following hymn was sung
by the choir:
ONE SWEETLY SOLEMN THOUGHT.
0ncsweetly solemn thought
Comes to me DER and DER;
I'm nearer home to-day. to-day,
Than lave been before.
CHORUS.
Bearer my home. nearer my home,
Nearer my home to-day. to-day,
Than l have been before.
Nearer my Fathers house.
Where nan mansions be:
Nearer the great white throne to-day,
Nearer the crystal sea.-CHo.
Nearer the bound of life.
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer to leave the cross to-day.
And nearer to the crown.-Cuo.
Be near me when my feet
Are slipping DER Che brink:
For / am nearer home to-day,
Perhaps than now I thinE.-CHo.

Memorial Day.

Saturday last was duly observed as
Memorial Day for the Confederate
dead buried in Edge-Hill Cemetery
and the other grayeyards of Charles
town, and We are pleased to note that
the occasion elected a more general
interest than for a few years past.
At 8 o'clock, p. NJ, a procession was
formed consisting of the ~Charlestown
Brass Band, under the leadership of
Prof. VIM. Humrickhouse, of Shop
herdstown; the Citizens Fire Com
pany, under command of Capt. Jno.
w. Russell, with "a very nice looking
improvised uniform, consisting of
white shirts, dark pants and straw
hats, with their reel handsomely dec
grated with flowers; the rear being
brought up by the Independent Fire
Company, under command of Lieut..
Abram Stump, with their neat and
snowy uniform and well filed ranks
the whole under command of Fire
Marshal G. Mason Hough.
The column, as laid down in the
programme, first proceeded to the
Methodist graveyard. Here but two
marked graves of Confederate sol
diers appear-those of w. NJ. Lock,
Co. B, 18th Va. Cavalry; and D. T..
Rawlins, Co. A, I'd Va. Infantry.
These were appropriately decorated
by iremen detailed for the purpose,
and of the squad told off to visit the
grave of Dolphin Rawlins, it seemed
strikingly cit that the two should hap
pen to be Messrs. Thomas B. Young
and VIM. II. Moore, of the same
company and regiment, who stood
shoulder to shoulder with the de-
ceased in the great conflict in which
he had sacrificed his life.
The Episcopal graveyard was next
visited, and the graves of the soldier
dead there decorated. OF these there
are quite a number who were among
the flower of our manhood-some of
Jefferson's best known and bravest
spirits-the martyred John Yates
Beall, Col. Robert W. Baylor and his
soldier boys Tim" and "Tud.,"
Maj. Edwin L. Moore, DIR. j. A.
Straith, George and James Washing
ton, Charles and Thomas Alexander,
the gallant Col. Lawson Bolts, Yves
ley Rocker, James Brown the chival-
rous Col. Frank Lakeland, f. NJ.

TerriII, Thos. D. Burnett, Frederick
S. and VIM. 3. Brown, Drs. James
and Thomas Briscoc, Col. Frederick
Briscoe, John Sheetz, Henry Davis,
and perhaps others.
After concluding at the Episcopal
graveyard tie procession moved to
Edge-Eiill Cemetery, where the reg
ular order of exercises was proceeded
with. After music by the band, the
Rev. Dir. A. G. Hopkins, President
CT the Lee Memorial Association Of
fered a most eloquent and fervcnt
prayer. The choir organized for the
occasion, under the management of
Madame Ruhl, ably assisted by Mr..
Lewis DinkIe, and the best mu-
