Memorial Day in the Country.

In the country he.ceremonial Of OBJ
servance of Memorial day is impressive
The Grand Army posts in the country,
small in numbers and far from rich,
cannot make imposing displays, and
wisely seldom attempt it. Yet there is
an earnestness in what they do as pa
triotic as it is sincere. A little band,
perhaps less than 30 or 40 veterans, as
semble at country church, where serv-
ices are held before the graves are
visited How solicitous they all appear
that every detail shall be properly OBJ
served Long before the hour designated
for the service to begin the veterans are
hurrying here and there, busted in ar
ranging every detail for the, to them,
important occasion. Chairs for those
who are to be seated on the platform
are placed, moved and replaced and set
tied in right positions with much DELHI
Grafton.
The people come in and fill the body
of the church, where they sit in quiet
expectation. The seats in front are re-
served. The pastor of the church comes
in and looks around with benignant
smile. The commander goes to the open
door and asks a comrade if the speaker
has not yet arrived, remarking anxious
ly that nothing can be done until Ae
comes. Presently the speaker arrives
and shakes hands with number who
meet him and retire with him to the
vestry.
The sounds that break the stiffness
that ensues are impressive. Tramp,

the veterans enter and march up the
aisle. Tramp. trampl Hank Is it an
echo or the lighter tread of unseen com
