his shoes were battered, out at the toes,
down at the heels. He was dilapidat-
ed specimen of humanity, Voyager
upon lfe's troubled stream, drifting
from point to point as purposeless as
a bubble upon the crest of a wave. His
eyes were fixed intently upon one cor
ner of the chHcchyard where briarS
and bushes covered in tangled masses
q few mounds. Forgotten again. Poor
old pard! They mean well, but they
don't finish the work" The words fell
from the lips of the strange man in
SOFT low whispers. From a pocket of
the ragged coat he drew bit of red
cloth and wiped away the tears that
rolled down the scanned face. He walked
around to the entrance and passed
through the little turnstile. No one no
ticed the poor, ragged fellow who slow
ly wendell his way along the narrow
pathways toward the tangled corner of
the churchyard. When he reached the
spot he took off his hat and stood there
with bowed head, gazing mournfully
before him. Then he reached out his
hand and pulled the briars and bushes
aside and bent forward.
Just as l thought. Forgotten. They
didn't know you, old pard. They didn't
know how brave you was in time of
war. There is no flag to mark your
grave They didn't know how proudly
you carried the stars and stripes above
you at Malvern Hill" The birds in the
bushes were not disturbed by the
strangers whispered tones. There was
something so quieting in the softened
tones that the little birds hoped about
among the branceS SO near that his
trembling hands could have touched
them. The man gathered bunch of
violets from the grass near the fence,
and then went back to the brambles
and pulled them aside.
Here's a pretty blossom, pard, for
the sake of Seven Oaks; here's another
for Lookout Mountain, where you was
great; here's four or five for Malvern
Hill, where you was a hero a nation
could be proud of; and here are all
the others for Antietam and other
places, where you moved with the front
line and never backed from your duty
And my tears are for your long days
and longer nights spent in the career
of a tramp who died a pauper sol
der"
The stranger turned away and walked
with bent head out of the graveyard
He passed on down the village street
looking neither to right nor left; ant
when he reached the brow of the hill
beyond he turned toward the peaceful
town, waved his hand, whispered For

the struggling ones in the churchyart
drew near the pauper's corner they won

strewn with violets, and they wondered
who had placed them there; but tn

BLUE AND GRAY.
Their DULY Rivalry Now Is In Honoring
Dead Heroes.

Memorial day preserves it's holy and
sacred associations because 1T mlngles
into one, the highest, noblest and most
grateful feelings of which mind and
heart aud memory are capable. The
CLEAN of joy is seen through the mist
of tears. Flowers bloom and birds are
highest up in the air, yet the funereal
dirge is heard and the flowers are
placed on tombs and over mounds
where lie the dead sleeping deaths
reconciling embrace. This rain upon the
river and sunshine on the hill are a
salutary mingling. For it is good for US
to sorrow, and yet to sorrow with nope
chasing away our tears. We cannot for
get the past. What ingrates should we
be even If we could. Nor can we be
blind to the present. To perceive II is
our duty. The tear for the past is in
the eye, the joy for the present lights
up the very tear with a radiance born
of heaven. Memorial day is to be OBJ
served by Americans in all time be-
cause it commentaries our dead. 1t
matters not now on which side they
fell. They sleep together; and when
summoned by the angel will awake to-
gether and be brothers for evermore.
