Decoration Day.

Fate caused TO meet this day in May.
On sacred, hallowed ground,
A youth In blue, n maid In gray,
On common purpose bound;
Sad was his mien; yet sadder hers
For both had come TO shed
Upon the graves Of martyred braves
Sweet flowers for thelrd
The youth was North the fair maid South
And astheir glances met
They thought with sorrow DER the past,
Her cheeks with tears were wet.
He clasped her firmly 10 his breast,
Her lover true. cen yet.
They knelt beside their sacred clay,
Each cried, forglvel forget
And 10, around them all about.
Shone forth celestial fire;
Seraphic hosts burst forth in song,
And struck the tuneful Tyre.
The North, the South. Of bygone days
Their wondering eyes then met.
Hark, harl;, the chant, the joyful praise,
We too, foigive, forget.

months of great suffering they land
at Cape Cod, and upon coming to
the shore their first act was TO kneel
and devoutiy return thanks to Him
who had brought them safely
through all their dangers, seen and
unseen. On the second day after
their arrival they called "A meeting,
framed a constitution, bound them
selves TO obey its provisions and
elected John Carer, Christian
man and one of sipgularly good
judgment, rs governor. Such were
the men of Plymouth Rock memory,
such the men who laid the founda-
tion of this, the foremost nation
beneath the stars. In many respects
this colonial period from December
IL, 1920, 70 July 4, 1875, is the most
wonderful in history. During this
period the patience Of this heroic
people was severely tried by the acts
of the mother country. But they
loved her with all her imperfection
and were loyal to her institutions,
and it was not until 1865 that the
cable which bound them to the
mother country had reached its
utmost tcn-ion. 1t was then that
the eloquent Patrick Henry sounded
the tccsin which is to-day the
axiom OF all lree governments-"no
taxation without representation"
England at length repealed her tax
imposed upon everything but tea,
but still maintains the right to
taxation without representation.
When the taxed tea made
its appearance in Boston har
bo. few boxes of ii were uncere-
moniously consigned 20 the finny
tribes and, in retaliation, the harbor
was cloyed as port of entry, which
causcG untold suffering among the
colOnists. The English now despite
the vehement protests of her great
est stpVsman declared war against
the evolutiouist. The bells of Lon
don were SET ringing for joy but the
wise old statesman said: "they ring
their bells to-day, they will ring
their hands tomorrow" a prophe-
cy which subsequent events fully |
justified. A squad of soldiers, upon
returning rom selling one of the
store houses of the Americans, was
fired upon by the improvised
army of the colonists, April 10, 1915,
md thus at Lexington was begun
he ever memorable revolution.
During the years of this revolu-
ion Washington and his leaders,
in the righteousness of
heir cause, leaned upon God rs per-
laps no people ever leaned before
md God made them to triumph.
The speaker continued his dis
'oursc, reciting the condition of the
country and the people through the
period between the revolution and the
var o. the rebellion, charging upon
he causes leading to the great war
II which the principles of the re-
'ublic were supported and in which
