Down into the kitchen clattered the

ran into the garden, while the mother

breakfast table. This now old-fashioned

His first battle! What soldier does
not think of it to-day? The years have
rolled backward; he feels again the
exaltation of youth and the relentless
determination to do or die. He re-
members the grim irony of the man
who had already "smelled powder"
and had heard the song of the bullets
about him.
He remembers, too, the thought of
the dear ones at home, the prayer
and then-the battle! His veins
thrill as of old, he seems endowed
with the strength of ten. He is not
dreaming; no, he is living over the su-
preme moment of his life.

HONOR THE SOLDIER DEAD.

Preparations are being everywhere
made to celebrate Memorial day, which
is nearing us with it's 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 battlefields
of the nation with carpet of verdure.
The sound of the cannon and the clash
of swords, the tread of mighty armies
and the 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 engendered 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
myriad of graves are among us, the
same graves that were filled from 81 to
'65. Chairs have been vacant in 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
erans grow grayer, and the strong man
of '61 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.
10 is becoming in people to remem-
Der 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 languished in pris-
on cells. America is appreciative 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 tear upon the
tombs of their dead soldiers, have rea-
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

When the Past Is Present.

Memorial day, sweet with flowers
and bright with sunshine; what day
for comrades to meet and fight their
battles over! A day on which the past
seems real and old songs are sung, old
jests revived. How naturally the foot
keeps step with the old refrains, how
gloriously floats the old flag! That
story of the charge of Seven Pines or
Gettysbnrg-what hosts of memories
it recalls! How the blood flies to the
wrinkled cheek at thought Of 1t and
how the crutch keeps time to the roll
ing drumsl The past is the present on

They Did Not Die in Vain.

Drums and flies and flags for Me-
mortal day and roses white as honor
and red as blood to cover the rest
ing places of those who counted
life not too dear to give it to
their country. Calmly they answered
to the roll call Of the Great Sergeant,
Death, and joined the vast encamp-
ment. To-day the world is better that
such men have lived, and the children
of the third generation treasure, as
priceless heritage, the memory of their
deeds. The love of country shines
more brightly for its baptism of blood
and so no brave man died in vain.
