Some even Of the few national holidays
Of so young a country as ours have already
begun to lose their interest for the people
and their celebration has grown to be more
or less perfunctory But our latest holi-

significance as the years go on. Until re-

To forget in twenty years the old animosi-

great democracy. Our victory over our
selves is far more glorious than any we
have gained over our enemies.
The Old World abounded in predictions
during our civil war that whatever its
outcome the north and south would never
be at peace; that with no hatural bounda-
ries, no walls Of separation, we should be
continually trespassing on each Others
territory and mourning new causes of dis

The Volunteer has said it,, anent the
grand encampment for 1892:
Almost every prominent G. A. II, post in
the country is making arrangements to at
tend the national encampment to be held
in Washington next September. No city
in America has so many attractions for the
Union veterans as Washington Ia was
the central point from which all the or
ders for putting down the great rebellion
issued, and many of the most important
battles were fought within short distance
of the capital. Probably one-half of all
the soldiers enlisted in the Union army
either camped in the vicinity or at some
time passed through its wide streets.
On the Esd day of May, 1855, the Army of
the Potomac, commanded by General
Meade, and the day following the portion
of the western army that had marched
from Atlanta to the sea, commanded by
General Sherman, not less than 10000
all told, passed in review on the streets
of Washington. Twenty-seven years have
passed since then, but still there are many
survivors who will make an effort, yea,
sacrifices, to he present at what is likely
to be the greatest gathering of the soldiers

One evening toward the close of the war,
while Union soldiers lay in camp on hill
side near the Staunton river, Virginia, the

tinel startled every lounger to his feet, and
several Of the more curious ran u the
guard line to find out what the trouble
was. A minute later all knew that the
night visitor who had been challenged was
no enemy. A little girl about ten years Of
age, holding a white kitten in her arms,
came forward into the light OF the fires,
conducted by two soldiers who had Sold the
guard to pass her in, and who looked as
proud as if they were eseorting queen.
The whole regiment gathered including
the colonel himself-to look at the child

Ohio, as her husband had been in Ken
lucky, but only the width Of the river sep
arated their birthplaces, which were plain
ly visible the one from the other yet her
neighbors after marriage, spoke of her as
''northern woman" snd Of her husband
as u southern man."
In 1850 Mrs. Stewart was left a widow
with two boys, the one, Frank, eleven and
half years old, the other, George, just
ten. SIN young and energetic, Mrs. Stew
art said to the friends who called to CON
dole with her on her bereavement:
my husband left me above want; hence
forth my life object shall he to train up my
sons that they may be worthy their father"
and religiously and heroically she kept that
resolution.
Although there was eighteen months diff
ference in the ages Of the boys, they looked
so much alike that strangers believed they
were twins and the brothers had the same
attachment for each other that distin-
guishes children of the same birth.
Frank and George Stewart went TO the
same school, played the same games, read
the same books, slept in the same bed and
had the same aspirations, till at length
they came to resemble each other as much
as do the reflections of the stars in the
brooks. Still the mother and intimate
friends saw a difference in the undercur-
rent of the Stewart boys characters
Frank was quite steady, self contained
and slow to anger, and while yet a child he
showed a knowledge of the futures needs
and desire to help his mother that every
one considered remarkable In one Of his
years. George was mentally quicker and
brighter, stronger in his preiudices and
more outspoken and impulsiye in the man
ifestations of his likes but even those who
noticed these differences regarded them as
trivial compared with the many and
stronger points of resemblance,
Soon after her husbands death Mrs,
Stewart adopted the orphaned daughter Of
distant cousin Of his. Dora Stewart was
looked upon by the boys as a sister, until
the time came, in 1861, when, as a beauti-
full girl of eighteen, she began to attract
the attention of the gallant youths along
the river.
Mrs Stewart had ever treated Dora as a
daughter, and the girl repaid her with a
devoted daughters love; but time came
when the brothers ceased TO regard her as
q sister, and the widow, with a great
anxiety in her heart, saw that both her
sons had fallen in love with the same fair
object,
