as it is pushed from the shore. He
watches intently, and presently he
| sees one of the big turtles taking
nap on the clear white sand of the bot
tom. He dives quickly, and, swimming
down from behind, seizes the turtle
firmly by its shell. OF course the turtle
wakes up and, like bucking broncho,
begins to dash and plunge wildly about,
seeking to throw its plucky rider. Not
succeeding in this, it darts quickly to
the surface, where the boy gets his
first breath. Then down again it goes
tearing through the water and beat
ing the foam with its aippers But its
rider never let's go for a moment, and
presently the great turtle grows ex-
hausted, and the boy, by lifting on the
front end of the shell forces it to the
boat, where it is quickly loaded aboard
ana taken away to market. 1t is great
sport and the boys enjoy it as much
as our western boys like lively young
pony to ride.-Chicago Record.

In the war for the Union the total en-
rolment was 2,666, 800 men on the part
of the North. OF this number our own
Michigan furnished 10000 soldiers, who
won renown for the State. Losing, the
historian, estimates the cost of the war to

made up the life of that day have
gone to the eternal rest, The vetrans, as
they recall the deeds of the past, grow

minds us of the stories told of the god

ed his magic wand when 10! the aged,
diseased and wrinkled forms shown forth

You see your veterans today, their
heads sprinkled with silver sand dropped
from the hour-glass OF flying time, and
they near the final muster out. Let us
trust that they will never realize that pa
triotism is measured by the people on a
money basis. A new generation now
stands on the shore of peace, gazing on
the remnant of once mighty host, and
as they observe the SCIENCES of today they
will be reminded of that great army
asleep on hilltop and in vale in the peace

the burning city, that now, after the con-
quest and subjugation, the conquered and
subjugated are seated in high legislative
and judicial places, and their council
needed by seventy millions of people.
Thirty-two years have brought the
change. The remembrance of war no
longer divides our people. The north
and south have never understood and re-
spected each other as to-day. and this
unity of friendship will grow in the years
to come. Every patriot rejoiced few
weeks since as the chieftains of the lost
cause gathered at the tomb of the great
leader of our army to attest their love for
the dead general of the victorious hosts of
the union.
Truly the words of our soldier president
echoed the sentiment of all the people
when he said those assembled testified
ITO the living reality of a fraternal spirit
which has triumphed over the differences
of the past, and transcends the limita-
tions OF sectional lines. It's completion,
which we pray God to speed, will be the
nations greatest glory All will rever-
emily say amen to this utterance of pa
triotism and good will.
Surely the recollection of the days of
sorrow, OF trial, of suffering, of blood,
have passed from the minds of the peo-
pie. The passing years are softening the
bitterness of the struggle. Peace reaps
where war hath sown
"The bitter years have passed away,
The scars have slowly healed,
New wood has grown upon the tree,
Fresh sod upon the field,
And laws of hate the soldiers made
The soldiers have repealed"
THE STRUGGLE.
For more than four years part of our
country was camp or field of battle.
At last the conflict was ended constitu-
tional government was maintained; it
should never be forgotten that we were
right. The self-sacrifice and patriotism
of the men of the north shone forth in
all those weary years. have given the
number of killed. There were other
thousands who fingered for time and
then passed on. They knew the keenness
of suffering and then deaths sable night
came to them. How many Of us can sum-
mon the memories of those who never
became old since they gave their young
lives to their country. recall gallant

the sacrifices which it has led men to
make. The germ of patriotic sentiment
is yet alive in the hearts of the people,
and they do not forget the inestimable
blessings which we enjoy through the
martyrdom Of those to whose names and
memories we pay grateful homage. We
cannot too frequently recall the lofty pa
triotism, that heroic purpose. and that
vast sum of treasure, effort and blood,
which has secured to us country, liberty,
and the countless blessings of popular
government. This is a portion OF the
lesson the observance of this day brings;
it impresses the struggle on the minds OF
of all, telling how the
"Years of history followed close; histo-
ry made in tents;
Forged in battle, annealed with fire,
welded in great events.
These few lives were but grains of sand
rolled in its mighty flow,
Drift weeds washed on the shores of
War, caught in its undertow."
THE COST OF THE WAR.
Perhaps it may be of interest to glance
briefly at the fearful cost of the war for
the Union. 1t appears from the records

died of Wounds 25,S72 died from acui-
dents, drowning, sunstroke and unknown
causes; 224,52S died in hospitals from
disease; 59,49S died in prisons of the
enemy, making total in round numbers
of 100000 who died for the union. The
average age of all enlisted men at date of
enlistment was 26 years; the average ex-
pectation of life at 26 years of age, is 80
additional years; therefore, if we multiply
the APO, 900 by 80, we find that the total
number of years of life expended in put
ting down the rebellion by those who
lost their lives on the side of the Union
would be 100000 years; of the forces of
the Union, 275, 900 found their last rest
ing place in the Soil of the South, and Of
the total number who perished l45, ZOO
graves are marked unknown.
Statisticians tell us that. taking the
whole number of men furnished by the
states and territories during the war, it
appears that out of every 60, one was
killed in action; out of every 56, one died
of wounds; out of every l3, one died of
disease; out of every 8, one died while in

the living can do for the dead. The

dust, can find no benefit from what we

the grave cannot dispel, that death can

AS we look upon the mounds that

that the man who took his place as a
soldier and offered his life for his coun-
try, was better man, other things be-
ing equal, than he who avoided the
fight. He belongs to the worlds cata-

their lives. They were great souls, for
they forgot self, and remembered only
their country. They left tender ties,
dared death, met its shock, and fell
bleeding and died in the turmoil of bat
tie, mangled by shot and shell, crushed
under the iron hoofs of maddened
horses, wasted away by disease, per-
ished in prisons of the enemy, died that
the country might live. 1t is through
sacrifices like theirs that civilization was
made worthy of survival, and it sur

souls. The soldier gave all, he gave
