Appropriate funeral services were
held upon the occasion of the burial of
Mrs. Kate Howard, wife of Roger S.
Howard, Esq, on the afternoon of
Aug. 9TH. Kind and sympathizing
friends assembled at the village church
to offer their last tribute of respect to
her who had lived among them, and
upon whose face that day they were to
look once again only, upon earth. EN-
blematic of the life that had been were
the pure, white flowers resting upon
the cover of the casket, with those of
the same character lying appropriately
near. Kind, wise, true were the words
addressed to all by former pastor of
this people, Mr.. Gilman, who in fitting
manner conducted the services of the
occasion. With the going out of this
life, all too soon, it would seem, there
is yet much left that will survive in
the yesrs to come: the influence of
her life as it was here, quiet unobtru-
sive, but carrying force because of its
gentleness, and, in that other life, a
part of herself, the motherless boy
who knows, but cannot yet understand
the full measure of his loss. May it
not be that in him she will live again,
replete in that which was only in part
fulfilled here in her life?
One more is laid beneath the sod,
One more of countless millions gone.
Her work is done, she's with her God,
While those bereft move on alone.

COLOR AND QUALITY.

Rcd the Symbol for Warmth and Blue
 the symbol of COldness.
 Those who associate color with qual- ity have almost invariably regarded red as the symbol for strength and for warmth; for all it's shades are more or less full of vitality, while nothing is more emblematic of the strength and warmth of youth, with all it's hopes and purposes, than that modification of red known as rose color.
 Blue, again, is universally felt to be the symbol of coldness, the ancients considering the disem bodied spirit to be of a blue tint; and, while red is physi- cal color. blue-the color of the air, of distance, of space, of the heavens-is an ethereal and intellectual hue.
 Yellow, on the other hand, has had two entirely different symbolical mean. ings. In it's deep golden tinge-the color of the sun-it was the emblem of virtue. as in the halo of the saints, while in it's more crude and glaring tint it has always been used to signify baseness. Judas is often represented in old works of art in that form of the color, and 1t is to-day the color of the dress of a certain class of convicts.
 Green, again, has always been con- nected in the public mind with jealousy; purple. with royalty; white, with purity and joy; gray. with sobriety; and black, with grief. a
 The system of heraldy has made great use of the symbolical meaning of ,olors-gules, azure, sable, vert and purple being their designations.
 With all this, the varying civiliza- tions, or semi-civilizations, have never agreed on the color to be worn in mourn ing-those mourning in black. those in white. others in yellow, and kings in scarlet-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

 moved off! With what satisfaction each man must have lCokel upon his service Since his enl l'stmcnt what monentous events had transpiredl Three years of weary, tedious, bloody war had dragged out their sickening length. Midsummer, 1862 - midsummer, 1S65l What terrific strife filled the gap!
 Midsummer, 1862. found Mcclellan beat en, defeated in the Peniusular mpaign and his army at bay upon the James riF1r. A little later Pope met overwhelming de- feat in Northern Virginia; then, as & littl, relief came South Mounta n and An i3ta :l.
 But in carly winter followol the dis astrous defeat of Fredericksburg that in- angurated the dark and dismal Winter of 1962-S-the dreariest time of the war for the Uni5n cause
 But with the spring of 1863 came a better outlook, and there followed Vicksb burg and Gettysburg-when the tide turned and re- mained steadily aga.nst the Confelerates till the end two years later-and Chata- nooga closed a most successful year for the Nation.
 The determined advance of the army of the Potomac in tho early spring of 1864, through the bloody way of the wilderness, Spottsylvania and Cold Harbor and it's per- sistent stay about Petersburg and Rich mond, showHd that the great North had at last realized it's own trHnendous power.
 In the latter half of the year, Atlanta and the 'March to the Sea" and Sheridan's mar velous successes in the Shenandoah Valley, gave evidence that the Confederacy of the proud-spirited Southerners was already topping: but if any further manifestation of it's speedy downfall was needed this came with the crowning victory of the year at Nashville, unler the unequaled Thomas.
 Prompt and energetic action in February, 1865, gave us Charleston, where was fired the first shot, and in April, Mobile, Peters burg, Richmond and Appomattoxi But April, 1865, the month that witnessed com plete Union success and the ending of the war, saw also the whole land overwhelmed with sorrow because the one to whom above all others was duo tho most for the final fortunate con 5u mmation, was slain by an assassin's bullet.
 All theso things had transpired since enlistment three yCars before. Doubt, disaster, distrust in June, July and Au. gust, 1S62-then the enrolment of ''six hundred thousand more" brave men, among whom was the little band now mov- ing off with cheery hearts and quick, elastic treld-their faces turned home ward.
 The change in organization again brought the writer into the hospital department, and he cheerfully resumed his duties. But the men had become so inured to camp and field that they suffered little inconvenience from any irregularities encountered; hence there was little sickness.
 Near camp was family with whom the writer became quite friendly. They were kind enough to loan him bo ks to read, and on more than one occasion when they were away he, with a companion, by invitation slept in the house. Some of the friends of

which includes satisfactorily settling with and mastering out each inc ividual compos- Ing 1t, and properly accounting for all property had from the Government,i is not so difficult a process, but yet one that taxes time and much labor.
 Pretty soon after tho surrender of the commands of General Lee and Johnston, orders were issued for the mastering out of all whose terms of enlistment expired before a certain date.
 Inthe case of the writer's regiment, con- solidated one embracing two original regt- mental organizations, about one-half had been muste ed into service at an earlier date than the other.
 To meet this difficulty an order came from General Sheridan-since the latter part of April in command of the departmeDt-for mastering out and discharging those in the regiment whose term of service expired at the earlier date and the organization of the remnant into a battalion with it's original designation.
 This order necesstated in it's carrying out much extra clerical labor among those whose business it was to do this kind of duty, but finally the rolls were all made out and upon one set were the names of the lucky ones who were soon to go to their homes and friends in the North, and upon the other those of their less fortunate comrades who were to remain in service yet awhile longer. The writer was among the latter.
 Early one morning in July those to be immediately mustered out were drawn up in line for the march to Mobile, three miles distant, where Q steamer awaited them at the wharf.
 The writer never Will forget the appear ance of the little band as it stood in line at the top of hill, as h3 viewed it from his tent on the hill opposite. How light their hearts and how buoyant their steps as they

 Vicksburg, Milliken's Bend. Memphis, etc., each of which brought to mind past expe- rience in camp and field.
 Near Memphis, one morning, man in one of the companies was missing, and no trace of him could be found on the boat. The vessel had not been near shore since the evening previous, when the missing mans comrade saw him alive and well.
 Upon the cabin deck of the boat were cots upon which were several sick men; one of these was delirious with ty- phoid fever, and one night when the nurses back was turned jumped over the railing and was lost in the dark, seething waters of the Mississippi
 One evening just after nightfall the lights of Cairo came in sight, and pro- duced strange thrill in the hearts of the little band of Illinoisans aboard, wh three years before had come by that city on their way to the enemy's country, but with what fortune they were to return, no one could say.
 Every man was thrilled with delight as he stepped from the boat at Cairo and ono } more trod upon the soil Of his own belovel State that had sent to tho front so many of its brave sons and given to tho Nation a Lincoln and Grant. Seldom docs it fall to the lot of one Commonwealth to contrib ute so much to the country's veal.
 Next day toward evening train of stock cars was boarded and the trip to Camp Butler started upon.
 Early next morning from every farm house and dwelling welcome was extended by those within waving from door or win dow some article of textile character.

What noble deeds we meant to do When, in our long lost childhood's day1, We planned how we would travel through
 Ltfe's tangled maze. How very great we meant to bel The whole wide world would hear us; And to our fame would all agree
 Unanimousi And we would be so very good; All who were suffering or opprest, Would find their sorrow understood
 Their wrongs redrest. And never should VIC know the need Of loving word or tender touch, Till we should love all men indeed,
 Since loved so muchi Now one by one the years have passed, We are no longer glad and young, We fold our hands for rest at last,
 Our songs unsung. We look back, while our hearts are bowed The noble deeds are still undone- Glad to have helped, amidst the crowd,
 Here and there one. Love parted from us unawares, The fame and glory never came, We thank God if some, in their prayers,
 Still breathe our name.

An Old Tar,s Horrible Yarn

An old salt recently visited the editor of Martha's Vineyard paper and poured in- to the latter's willing ear the following tale of the sea: q was in the good ship Surprise crossing the western ocean. A spanking breeze was driving the ship home at most lively rate, every thing drawing allow and aloft, when the painful cry: Man overboardp startled the entire ships company. The captain came on deck, and looking over the taffraiI at tho rapidi iy re- ceding object and then observing the good speed the ship was making, said in pious voice: Poor fellowl God help him; Pm sorry for him, but we must take advantage of this breeze in the interest of the own ers.' Just then sailor who had been on the lookout ran aft and said: Captain, it was not man; but it's a hog.' Anal, said the captain, 'hard a-port, back the mainyard, clear away the boat and save that hog.'"
