In the death Of man like DR. Holmes
the people Of This country have met with
loss far greater than that which
would befall them BY the decease OF any
ordinary public man. DR.. Holmes was
not politician, but be was the last Of
our great trio Of poets. As literary
man be contributed abundantly to the
literature Of tile country in various
forms His poetry was no more gifted
than his prose lii every respect be was
"a admirable character. He had a most
lovable disposition which endeared him
not only to all who knew him, but also
to al who knew OF him His geniallty.
his desire to be Of service to mankind
and the generous optimism which made
his pen q potent lever in furtherance Of
human progress were as fully and CRATE
fully recognized by people at a distance
as By those who had close personal ex-
perience Of his kindly disposition.
DR. Holmes had young heart to the
very end Of his life on the occasion Of
bis last birthday be said in speaking Of
his age: The burden Of years sits
lightly upon me, as compared with the
weight it seems TO many less advanced In
years than myself. Bat he added. in
words that now sound prophetic of the
end then drawing near. "The twelfth
septennial period has always seemed to
nue. as one Of the natural boundaries Of
life, One who has lived to complete his
saith year has had his full share, even Of
an old mans allowance. Whatever Is
granted over that is prodIgal in
diligence on the part Of nature" This
was but six weeks before his death,
He will be mourned wherever the Eng.
fish language is read. and even in a stlll
larger circle, for his works have been
widely translated, and his wit and wis
dom have won appreciation throughout
the civilized world And now III his own
words we can both eloquently and truth.

But lie Did Not Sustain the Part for

81 had an experience playing ghost
when was boy" remarked Colonel
II. c. West of Louisville the other
evening, "that completely cured mo
of that sort of thing. IL happened in
this way: | was about l6 years old at
the time, and was on visit to my
uncle, who resided In little town ia
.he mining regions of Pennsylvania.
One night two of my cousins and my
self conceived the idea that it would
be great sport TO dress ourselves like
ghosts and scare some miners who had
to pass by the graveyard about mid
night on their way to work. We ac-
cordingly procured some sheets, etc,
and about IL o'clock started forth.
There was big arched gateway at
the entrance to the graveyard, and on
the top of this we took our position.
1--WE wound the sheets around us,
tied white cloths over our faces and
endeavored to make ourselves appear
as ghostly as possible. Our intended
victims appeared on the scene shortly
after we had taken up our position.
When they were directly abreast of
us, ] in as sepulchral tone as could
muster, cried, II cannot rest in my
grave The men stopped at once and
looked around, seeming at loss to
know where the voice came from. 1
again repeated the words, when sud
denly one of the miners looked up and
saw us. He Immediately whipped out
a pistol and, saying IN be id if
you rest there, either fired point
blank at us. The bullet few wide OF
its mark, but it served to make us
tumble off that gate in hurry and
never stop running until we reached
home, a good deal more frightened
ourselves than we had even dared to
hope we would scare the miners"

HONOR THE SOLDIER DEAD.

Preparations are being everywhere
made to celebrate Memorial day, which
is nearing us with its sacred memories
and tender influences. Time is carry
ing us steadily further away from the
scenes of civil strife, and nature has
covered the red-streaked battletields
of the nation with carpet of verdure
The sound of the cannon and the clash
of swords, the tread of mighty armies
and tho sobs of the brave boys on the
tented field and of loved ones at home,
grow more and more indistinct as the
years go by and new generations come
! upon the scene of action. The bitter
animosity which was engcndcrcd be-
tween sections has been mellowed, and
the angel of peace. sweet, holy peace,
spreads his white wings over the lakes
and plains and mountains of the north
and over the cotton fields and cotton
beds of the south. Mighty changes have
been wrought in thirty years. But Il
myriad of graves are among us, the
same graves that were filed from '6l To
'G5. Chairs have been vacant i'm our
homes during all this time; the empty
uniform and the battered sword are
still in our closets We still remember
and love the boys who went out from
our loving embrace To face danger and
death upon the battlefield. Year by
year the graves become more numerous
in the cemetery. Year by year the vet
eraas grow grayer, and the strong man
of 81 is marching with feebler step on
ward toward the great final reunion.
Such are the only changes that the
years have made in the features OF
Memorial day.
IL is becoming in people to remem-
ber the sacrifices of the soldier who
gave or offered his life for them and
their interests. Rome. proud, imperious
Rome, forgot the men who had fought
her battles, and reveled in luxury
while some OF them languishod in pris-
on cells. America is appreeiative of her
brave. Once year she scatters flowers
upon their graves, and all the time
their memories are embalmed in
her grateful heart. Any people who
will pause to drop a tear upon the
tombs of their dead soldiers, have rca
son to respect themselves and to claim
the respect of others; and while we are
remembering the dead our hearts will
swell with thanksgiving that we are
in the shadow of flag of united
republic. whose different sections are
animated by a common hope, com
mon inspiration and a common des-
tiny.--Farmers' Voice.
