Decsratisu Day.

Decoration Day 10 peculiar among
nationai holidays in the steady growth OF
a. popular Observance. The great men
of var times arc stepping from among
~ living with almost startling rapidity,
end the violent and bitter feelings
oRouSed BY that terrible struggle and
1oeply burned into the very nature Of the
ooohAtants have been softened by time
and death. The humane impulse to con-
Gldsr the virtues rather than the failiDgs
ce the dead has led men North and
South to think more Of the bravery and
evident sincerity Of their old foes and to
dwell with less bitterness upon causes
and incidents Of the conflict. The holi-
days In commemoration of the great
ovsnts of revolutionary days are steadily
becoming Of LEES importance, and though
ths Fourth Of July will doubtless remain
f6e centuries our great holiday, 1t Is
plain that Washington's birthday Is soon
destined TO follow other dead holidays
Commemorative Of the surrender Of
CoFnwallis, the victory Of Lake Erie and
The battle Of New Orleans. But Decora-
ton Day grows steadily and there seems
10 be fair warrant for prophecy that long
after the last of the war veterans has
been buried, the whole nation will have
agreed on day Of national gloriication
over the brave men of the great civil war {,
grand unanimous braying Of brass
bands and agitation of bunting under the
new leaved trees, and over the freshly
grassed and silent tents of green "
whore the old soldiers aud sailors sleep.
No better time could be chosen for a
national and formal visit to the burial
grounds, pleasant resort at all times,
and moro than ever in the early spring
whom flowers and blossoms are abundant
and every one is glad Of chance to pass
day out OF doors. The coming genera
tions will see the value OF the ends
achieved at such fearful cost far more
clearly than we can, nearer to the events
and confused with the mass Of detail.
They can not perhaps realize as fully as
Ne do the devastation and ruin that fol
lowed the path OF war in the South and
the desolation and sorrow in Northern
homes. but they will see more clearly the
far.reachiDg effects and will realize Tho
power and greatness Of united natior
that has already grown beyond the wild
est dream Of any man in camp in '63. A
nation with not only north and south
! but also great west, and northwes
and southwest; q Pacific slope ard IA
Alaska, all prosperous and advancing IL
civilization, all proud of their great uniol
and its flag.

Seeking the Site.

The great interest that ia felt In the 10.
cation Of the postoffice was shown last
evening at the meeting which crowded
the Board Of Trade rooms and which
would have filled the sourt house, prob
ably, il 1t had been held there, as it GER
tainly should have been. The parties al.
vocating special sites often had a special
interest in them, which they cannot be
blamed for exhibiting. The advice to
the commissioner lost something of its
force, however, on this account. The
advocates OF the Shober property were
fortified with q petition hastily prepared
IN the afternoon, which had the names of
seventy-fve Of the strongest business
men OF the city; and there is no doubt
whatever that this is the site desired by
the great majority of those who are en-.
gaeed In business on our principal streets.
= V the nearest place TO the business
centre, and will be most convenient 10
business men. 1t is close to the present
site OF the postofiice, and will not disturb
present business habits and conditions.
This site would be selected, we believe.

Why Not II Lsscaster !

The INTELLIaENcER published few
days ago that DIR. Thomas Evans, the great
American dentist Of Paris, has had under
consideration project TO establish .
great industrial school for boys in some
part of the United States, and plans for
the same have been laid before him.
Forty years ago this millionaire dentist,
whose name and fame Is chronicled with
contemporary European royalty, was q
struggling young dentist In Lancaster,
occupying rooms on the second floor Of
the Moore building at the southeast cor
ner Of Orange and North Queen streets.
Many Of our older citizens yet remember
the gay and brilliant young practitioner
OF those days, and they little dreamed
that when he left for foreign pastures
he would climb to the topmost rung In
the ladder Of his profession the world
over.
1t Is most worthy and honorable de-
sign that is said to be In contemplation
by the great dentist, and we know Of no
place better fitted to put the plan into
effect than right here in Lancaster, the
scene Of his early struggles. 1t would be
an everlasting memorial Of the success
that has crowned q most distinguished
career, and would be keenly appreciated
by The citizens Of Lancaster who feel q
kinship for him in his home beyond the
seas, and regard themselves as partial
sharers in the fame which he has attained.

their Journey without looking down it when
the lady stopped.
.'My husband" said the lady. "I am
called"
They listened, and they heard voice long
way down the avenue, say, Mother, mother"
1t was the voice of the first child who had
said, 81 am going to heaven!" and the father
said, II pray not yet. The sunset is very near.
pray not yeti"
But the voice cried, "Mother, motherl"
without minding him, though his hair was now
quite white, and tears were on his face.
Then, the mother, who was already drawn
into the shade of the dark avenue and moving
away with her arms still round his neck, kissed
him, and said, MY dearest am summoned
and L go!" And she was gone. And the
traveller and he were left alone together.
And they went on and on together, until
they came to very near the end of the wood :
so near, that they could see the sunset shining
red before them through the trees.
Yet, once more. while he broke his way
among the branches, the traveller lost his
friend. He called and called, but there was
no reply, and when he passed out of the wood
and saw the peaceful sun going down upon
wide purple prospect he came to an old man
sitting on fallen tree So, he said to the old
man, What do you do here?" And the old
man said with a calm smile, ST am always re-
memberlng. Come and remember with me 4"
So the traveller sat down by the side of that
old man, face to face with the serene sunset ;
and all his friends came softly back and stood
around him. The beautiful child, the hand
some boy, the young man in love, the father,
mother, and children: every one Of them was
there, and he had lost nothing So, he loved
them all, and was kind and forbearing with
them all, and was always pleased TO watch
them all, and they all honored and loved him.
