MEMORIAL DAY IN OAKLAND.
The Day Quiet One-Interesting Services
Held at the Cemetery.


Held at the Cemetery.
Yesterday was Decoration Day
throughout the country. 1t was
observed in a quiet manner n Oak
land, but nevertheless the services
at the cemetery were quite impress
sive. The ranks of those who wore
the blue have been thlnned since a
year ago--a number have passed to
the Great Beyond at command of
the Great Commander. Those who
are left to perform the duties of
paying yearly tribute to their dead
comrades are showing the weight of
years. Their heads are becoming
whittier, their step not quite so firm
as i'll the sixties when they faced
without a quiver almost certain
death upon many a battle field, but
In their duty to their departed
brothers in arms they are ever ready
to strew with flowers the many
mounds marking their silent biv.
ouacs. They are none the less
ready to again shoulder the musket
and march to the front should the
occasion arise.
The services yesterday were un-
der the direction of Crook Post,
No. 25, commanded by Col. A. G.
Sturglss. The parade to the
cemetery was formed in front of
the e. A. r. hall on Alder street.
Headed By Smiths Military Band
the old soldiers, followed in turn by
the school children and members of
the Knights of Pythias burdened
with flowers, marched to the "sllent
city" where numerous persons who
have loved ones buried there had
preceded them. Here the graves of
old soldiers and memberes of the X.
of P. were literally covered with
flowers. The band rendered num-
Der Of selections appropriate to the
occasion, the rituallstlc services of
the G. A. r. were gone through
with, recitation entitled "Another
Year with the G. A. R." was
rendered by Miss Leary and the ben
ediction pronounced by Rev, Ward.
This ended the exercises and the
old soldiers returned to their hall,
feeling that they had performed
their duty in full to their deceased
comrades.

AN ARCADIAN LAMENT.

The mountain nymphs have fed the hills
And left the Satyrs mourning
Dorinda with her modern frills
The woodland depths is scorning;
While piping Pan, disconsolate,
With grief in vain concealing,,,
His pallid cheeks are saturate
When Daphne goes a-wheeling.
The fackless fiocks untended are,
No shepherd them restraining,
For luckless Damon wanders far
With many sighs complaining
Fair Mira's gone from Already
Her Grace in town revealing
And all the beaux would martyrs be
When Mira goes a-wheeling.
What boots it now of "tuneful rills,"
OF "mossy banks and flowers"
Or "twinkling feet' to rhythmic thrill"
OF Pans seductive powers;
The wood folks all have vanished quite,
Oblivion DER them stealing
For up-to-date's most charming sight
Is Mira when she's wheeling.
May Is, 1900. THE TRAMP.
