noon after her death the preparations
were made for it, The women brought
dry resinous woods and placed them in

When all was ready they brought the
body, wrapped in her best clothes. and
laid it OIL top. Then all her little trim

bone utensils for weaving were laid be-

laid on her breast, which she had woven
herself, hoping soon to need it, for these
women certainly love their little ones
and rejoice in their motherhood. 1t is
all they have worth living for.
At shutdown the diSconsolate widower
was brought forward, and he was so
drunk that he could hardly get to the
place where he was to sit. Coal tar
was smeared on his face and in his hair.
This is their mourning garb-a coat of
coal tar.
Then the fire was lighted and the
women raised sort of Wailing chant in
which the men Joined occasionally, and
the body slowly consumed, the fire be-
ing fed by fresh pine knots all the
while.
The tin dipper circulated, and the
men, one by one, dropped off into slum-

ably all night, as the fire was still
smoldering in the morning.

TO THE OLD SOLDIERS.
A Friendly Word From One of the
Veterans.

Comrades, when at the outbreak OF
the Rebellion. in 1861, the government
called for volunteers in defence OF our
country we gladly answered the call.
There were many citizens who could
not, or would not take up arms. we
were privileged to do our duty, and as
patriots we are. or should be, amply re-
paid bv the complete triumph of our
cause, the preservation of the Union
and the recognition of our services by a
grateful country.
A sacred duty was imposed on our
government, to place our deserving
Door, crippled and diseased comrades
and their families and the families of
our dead comrades, as far as possible,
beyond the need for the necessities OF
life. The government OF the Unlted
States has endeavored to perform TINS
duty most ountifully, and in manner
not equaled anywhere in the history or
the world. The country is generous to
a fault, and our manhood must forbid
us to ask for anything we are
not properly entitled to. Those
unfortunateS who became sick or
contracted a disease not in consequence
of their service and in the line of their
receive any governmental AID; nor
should those comrapes who are in po-
sition to support themselves and their
families, and who were fortunate
enough to pass through the war UNI

us which urges constant increase of
Dounties, backs pays, pensions, etc, i'll
behalf of the old soldiers to such an
ALARMING extent as TO threaten the cOun-
try, which we assisted in saving. with
financial ruin eventually. Let us tell
all selfish men, politicians and dema-
gogues that the soldiers OF 1861 are good
citizens, and not mercenaries, and that
they will not ask for nor receive any
thing from the government except
what they are justly entitled to, and not
even then when by so doing they en-
danger in any way the financial stability
of the land and heavily increase the
burden of their overtaXed fellow citi-

Because without her he would be

Because she teaches him the value of

Because on her breast he can shed
