DlPROMPTU CELEBRATION.
BY ELLIS PARKER BUTLER.

Abraham Lincoln White, aged six,
stood in the middle of the muddy road
in front of his mammy's shanty. head
erect, shoulders thrown back and his
torn hat dripping with the rain.
1t was late in the afternoon of Dec
Grafton day, and Abraham Lincoln
White had but recently returned from
town, where he had been one of the
most thoroughly interested spectators
of the ceremonies. He had a very
vague idea of the meaning of it all, but
his small black head was full of the
idea of decorating the graves. and he
felt huge desire to do some decorating
on his own account.
Consequently when nanny had
taken off his Sunday garments. and he
had scrambled into his old clothes, he
set about it.
Flags, flowers, bright sashes and gay
~ decked horses; these had been most
strongly impressed on his mind
Flag he had not, but one of his man.
my's big red bandanas on a broken
broom handle made good substitute.
A bunch of snowballs from the bush
in the yard comprised the flowers; q
strip of blue calico made an excellent
sash, and stick was metamorphosed
into q prancing steed.
Thus arrayed the procession started
down the muddy road. The band
played, the flag waved, the steed
pranced, and the flowers nodded and
the whole procession, complete in one
very wet and muddy little darby,
moved towards the only grave in the
neighborhood. Unfortunately, Just as
the parade reached the grave it fell
headlong in the mud, and 1t was a mass

beautifully enhances and sentimentally
ennobles. Tender feelings mingling
with pride and loyal sense of graft
tude inspire lofty state of mind, and
to these no man not sordidly selfish
should be insensible on day set apart
as a memorial OF patriotic valor and
devoted manhood, and of life surround
ed by the country's veal. So remote
and shadowy is the epoch of the civil
war that even they that participated in
its dangers and hardships and had its
horrors stamped with graphic force inn
perishably their minds may hardly
think of itother than as of a wonderful
" intense and realistic dream. The
empty sleeve, the missing leg, the bent
frame and broken health are eloquent
reminders of the stern fact, it is true,
but it is a benevolence and a COM
pensation of nature that adversely and
pain and loss soften into counterfeits
of beauty and sweetness and love as
they recede further into the perspec-
tive of human experience.
Love of country is love of country
man; and we who visit the graves of
the soldier dead do so less to pay defer
ence to memory than to give pledge 20
the future. 1t Is respect to the living
that bids US revere the dead, that lofty
respect that arises from our recognition
of man in Gods image as our brother,
and our knowledge of the truth that the
animating spirit is the heir to the
eternities.
Memorial day, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean, tends to restore the moral
and personal equilibrium disturbed
by the selfish activities of life. The
spirit of it is q leveler, an eliminator of

According to the official figures the
union armies lost 359,52s officers and
men by death; the returns from the
confederate armies are incomplete, but
those in the provost marshal generals
report show that at least 49, 21 Off
GERS and men lost their lives. The
losses in battle were comparatively
small in the revolutionary war. About
COCO persons all told were killed, and
the usual proportion of those who die
of wounds is about two-thirds of those
killed. That would give total of TO-
600. Then at least 1900 prisoners
died in the prison ships; so that prob
ably not less than $4,000 to $4,000 per-

Lesson of De. Grafton Day.

The lesson of Memorial day is to
keep fresh the memories of our illus
trious dead, to preserve intact what
they fought for and saved. TO keep alive
the patriotic spirit, and resolve, in the
immortal words of Abraham Lincoln,
shat from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full measure
of devotion-that we here highly re-
solve that these dead shall not have died
in vain-that this nation, under God,
shall have a new birth of freedom-and
that government of the people, by the
people, for the people, shall not perish
from the earth"

A FEDERATION OF PEACE.
By MRS. M. l. RAYNE.

You won't forget Arthur, what you
promised me for Decoration day?"

dren? But, Margie. we have no soldier
grave to decorate"
"Yes, dear, we have. have adopted

was in my cradleI Sol have his grave
to decorate tomorrow"
'All right, little wife, you shall have
the best box of flowers TO be had for
love or money"
Give them for love, Arthur, love of
our dear country, and of those who
fought her battles and left us legacy
of peace"
What good commanding general
you would have made. Margie, with
your patriotic spiritl"
''Oh, it's easy enough to be patriotic
in piping times Of peace" answered his
wife, "but you and are old enough
to have heard the echoes Of shot and
shell. We imbibed patriotism with our
mothers milk, but with these children
it is different. They know only the
splendor and glory of war. They are
old enough now to be taughtits reality,
so that they may not only learn to live
like soldiers, but to die like them"
The two children, girl of IL and
a boy of IA, listened with interest and
curiosity, for to them war was indeed
a splendid pageant in which music,
flags and glittering uniforms made up
a grand tableau, and they looked for
ward with great anticipation to Deco
ration day, when they could witness
the ceremony of strewing flowers on
the graves of the honored dead.
Arthur Lyman felt rather small
when he left home after having heard
his wife's Grafton. 1t seemed to him
almost as if he were to blame for be-
ing only five years old at the time of
The war, and not shouldering arms and
going into the battle. But be had no
need to be ashamed of his vocation, for
he was a soldier in the bravest sense
of the word-a soldier of peace.
1t is a common saying that man is
often his own worst enemy.
Arthur knew what this meant. His
hasty, impetuous disposition was con-
tinually getting him into trouble, and
sometimes it took all his wits TO get
out again. he had at last found help
