For THE CLARION

Memorial Day generally brings with it, its
joys as well as its sorrows and especially to
old veterans, does it renew wildly solemn
remcmbranccs Of the past and to those cspec-
tally the ladies who year after year bring
their floral tokens of fond rcmcmbranccs of
some loved one who gave their life q sacri-
flee tor their country's cause. But it is a
source of joy to the old battle SCARED vet
Grams to notice with what joy and pleasure
the children seem to delight in gathering for
the occasion the sweet flowers to decorate
the grave of some one whom they have been
taught to revere. But not to he tedious III
the matter in noticing the occasion as given
in our most worthy journal the CAToCTIN
CLARION, we do not think justice has been
given to all who have participated in our
services on last Memorial Day, May Both, we
would especially commend the Misses Cas-
sell and Stocksdale with others who perform
ed their part SO admirably. 1t was certainly
pleasant rs well as pleasing to the boys who
wore the Blue to see those quite young ladies
perform their part SO well and bravcy. We
think they would make good soldiers. Come
again you young hcroines hoping that we
may have the pleasure of meeting with you
often upon such occasions IN remembering
the honorcd dead our fallen comrades in
arms.

Rev. G.. A. Whitmorc preached here on
Sunday at 3 O'Clock p. M, (bcing thirty min
utcs late owing to too much time being talk
en- up in attending to the inner man. and the
bad fording at Owens crcck,) taking his text
from LIST Peter, chapter, II and Is verses
and as it was IA warm afternoon the congrc.
cation seemed somewhat drowsy at the COM
mcnccmcnt of his discourse. But he had not
sense of their duty by the Gospel truths as
they fell from the lips Of one of Gods
most earnest and worthy servants and with
the spirit in words Of warning and encour-
agement he so presented the gospel to the
minds and hearts of his hearers that it APP
pcarcd to clccrify and fit them to drink IN
the mighty truths of the text after being an
alyzcd by deep and brilliant mind and who
by the grace of God breaches the gospel and
IS not led by the Will and dictates ofman.
Mr.. Thomas Staub of near this place was
buried here on Tuesday last. Uncle Tommy

able man being of medium stature, though po-
sesscd with extraordinary physical power,
and one of great ambition and did labor, as it
presented itself with will and nerve that
few possess, and only q few weeks ago when
last saw him he had that same elastic step
that many n person much younger might en-
Wy, and while he lived TO be SO yrs. 3mo. and

truthful lesson that the young may die, but
the old must. May his ashes rest in peace.

MAY PRODUCE REsULTs.-A gentleman
representing jobbing house in Baltimore
city has been endeavoring during the past
several days to furnish our town with a
library. His project has not met with favor
here from the fact that there are many per-
sons here acquainted with both the literary
and commercial value of books and who do
not believe in "ready-made" libraries. That
the impetus given to thought on the subject
of reading room here by this incident will
result ut last in something tangible we verify
believe.
A smaller investment in bound volumes
and more liberal subscription to the lead
ing periodicals will probably be the result of
the present movement of popular sentiment.
Liberal subscriptions to leading reviews,
monthly and quarterly, such as the North
American, Scribner's, Littell's, Edinburg,
etc, pamphlets containing essays by the
thinkers of the century, (uide Gladstones re-
view of Robert Elsemere.) scientific papers
and publications, such as the Scientific Amer
ican and Supplement, illustrated weeklcs of
the better class such as Harpers' many pub
LEGATIONS, and Leslic's lighter literature such
as is supplied by Golfers Once-a- Week and
Bonner's Ledger it is from such that the very
cream of thought in art, science, religion,
literature and political economy may be Sc
cured. With several hundreds of dollars in
vested in wcll-bound volumes, as nucleus,
and these periodicals, a reading room, wei!
worthy Of the title may be established here
and taste for reading, study and discussion
in the higher realms of literature developed.
This end is unattainabe Ivy an Investment
in q made-to order or ready-madc library.

OPENING OF PEN-MAR.

THE POPULAR EXCURSION RESORT MORE
BEAUTIFUL THAN EvER-NEw FEA.
TUREs AND ATTRACTIONS.
This is the inaugural week of the opening
of Pcn-Mar for the season Of 80 This beau
tiful resort, so appropriately termed "Thc
Gem of the Blue Ridge" is now more beau
tiful and attractive than eyer IN its many
pleasing and interesting features. The spa
cious dining room has been repaintcd and re-
fitted, and Will continue to be under the cX
ccll,nt management of Mr.. John E. Cront
whose fame as a successful caterer needs no
comment The walks, the drives, the flow
cr.bcds, etc, have all been improved to de-
gree ofperiection that must at once merit the
appreciation of the thousands who annually
visit the picturesque resort The new Pen
Mar Band will be under the efficient leader
ship of Professor John Zciglcr, who conduct
ed the Music at Pen-Mar several years ago.
Thousands of Pen Mar cXcursonists will be
glad to greet Prof Zeigler again, for during
his previous leadership both the professor
and his music were greatly appreciated. Ev
cry,hing at Pen Mar will be managed with
the one purpose of atlording visitors the
greatest possible enjoyment and satisfaction
The sources of legitimate amusement are so
varied, that everybody can surely enjoy a
most pleasur:.plc day at Pen Mar and return
home in Il good humor, anxious to go again.
If you fail to have a pleasant time when you
visit "Thc Gem Of the Blue Ridge" the cause
cannot be attributed to the lack of facilities
for individual enjoyment. The Western
Maryland Railroad has adopted safe and
careful policy in enhancing the popularity
of their beautiful resort, by prohibiting every
scmblancc of humbug and imposition. 1t is
not surprising that the mere mention of the
word Pen Mar is ln itself suggestive of pleas
ure, recreation and hcallhfu enjoyment.
