FOR MEMORY'S SAKE.
Memorial Day n Time for Especial
Rene mbrance for the Loved
Ones That Are Gone.

| Memorial day, with it's sweet, sad
| significance, is again at hand, the one
day of all the year devoted to memory,
! and to beautiful and tender offices for
those who have gone just beyond our
sight.
Especially set apart as a day of low
! ing recognition of the deeds of the
brave young heroes who gave up every
thing for God and country during the
| civil war, it has gradually grown to
be observed by all who miss the IA
| miliar presence of loved ones, who have
gone out from their lives, never to re-
turn, as time of especial remem-
brance.
In thought, however, Memorial day
is still especially associated with the
veterans of the civil war, and year by
year, as the line of march has grown
shorter, and the aged participants
feebler and grayer, a deeper tinge Of
pathos has been added to the beauti-
full custom of strewing with flowers
the graves of comrades who fell in bat
tie, or who have since fallen out by
the wayside of life, and all of us have
been forcibly reminded of the time, so
near at hand, when the last of these
men shall have gone home, and the
work of decorating their graves shall be
left to the children of our day, and so
on to their children's children.
And these children have been taught,
in homes and in schools, the meaning
of the day, and of late they, too, have
joined in the loving work, their tiny
hands and sweet voices lending a ten
derer note to the loving message of the
season.
In our fancied security, however, we
have confined our thought to the past.
believing that the number of heroes
grayes would be complete when the
last veteran of the>civil war had gone
to his reward. But this year the day
has taken on a new meaning. The un-
expected has occurred, and one does
not need vivid Imagination to picture
the Memorial days of the future, when
a younger generation of men shall pay
loving tribute to their comrades, brave
men all, who gave up their lives in the
service of manity.-Elizabeth Rob-
bins Berry, in Boston Budget.
