A May Day at Arlington.

Rarely, If ever, have we witnessed more
affecting scene or one that made deeper
impression upon u.s. than the one enacted
at Arlington on the last day of the faireSt
month Of the year.
In the tourney of life some incidents ana
events are imprinted indelibly upon the
mind and memory as scenes of JOY or sor-
row, dependency or exultation. and some
times in moments of inexpressible gloom or
glory The scene portrayed in the burial
Of the soldier was In some respects unlike
that of any other, IN peace or war. While
we were called upon to participate In this
most solemn ceremony, 1t gave US at the
same time an illustration of the grand and
noble impulses that actuate the human
heart and encompass the soul OF brave
man and noble woman.
The soldiers life had been full of noble
deeds, kindly and generous acts, protecting
the defenseless. befriending the friendiess'
assailing the wrong. defending the right,
and full of unselish devotion to the service
Of his country. AS courtIy as ne was
knightly, as modest as he was heroic, as
various vicissitudes Of his life he had main
tanned that quiet dignity OF the true gen.
tleman and accomplished officer When he
had achieved the full measure of life's
duties he met that Unsuitable foe. death, as
philosophically and with as little trepida-
ton and with the same fortitude as he had
faced death on the field of mortal conflict.
Surrounded by friends and the blessings Of
home where there was no lack of wo-
mans nursing" or ''dearth Of woman's
tears" his final adieu was as one going on
the morrow upon a long journey"
His funeral was observed with solemn
ceremony, with hallowed prayer and sa-
cred music in the most beautiful capital OF
the world, where devoted friends. by their
presence and expressions, gave evidence Of
their sympathy and sorrow. His body was
escorted to its final resting place by his
companions in arms in military column and
with the accompaniment of martial music.
The artillery caisson upon which 1t was
borne was followed by his faithful charger.
that had been his mute companion for
many years and on many fields.
At Arlington the day was most perfect.
Nature had adorned that ground, conse-
Grated by the sacrifice and blood Of the ma
tion's defenders. In her most beautiful
garb; the stately forest trees with their
rich foliage, were caressed by the gentle
breezes of the southern CLINE; the ground
was covered by mantle Of living green,
and the spring flowers made fragrant the
atmosphere over that bivouac OF the dead.

The songs Of birds, the pictures of life and
beauty, were in marked contrast to the
military tread and sacred music that ac-
companled the soldier to his last resting
place. AS the column moved to it's ap-
pointed station a grand sacred anthem Vi
brated Ger hill and dale; and when the
bier of the soldier was placed under the
canopy of the flag that he had defended,
and before the soldiers sepulcher, the last
salutatiOn was made.
The last scene was most impressive to
those who witnessed It, Upon the casket
of the soldier there were placed the
wreaths and rarest flowers sent by loving
relatives and friends, betokening their af
lection. and among them, contributed by

adorned their bridal ceremony but a short
time before. Standing by the soldiers bier
clothed in the deepest habiliments of mourn
ing, stood the soldiers widow trembling
with emotion that was actuated by the
strongest and purest love of woman's
neart. No princess e'er stood before the
coronation altar with more grace and dig
nifty; and yet this was a scene bereft of all
JOY and happiness, hope remaining the only
consolation. Beside her stood the faithful
devoted friend of both. giving the support
ana sympathy which at such moments are
most consolfng. Surrounded by a group of
gr1ef-strfcken relatives and sympathetic
!rlends, whose moistened eyes and culver
ing lips evinced their devotion and sorrow
the last prayers were offered and the SOL
dier's requiem sounded. The windowiess
tomb was embarked and bedecked with
gariands of beautiful flowers placed there
by loving hands.
Thus the living took their farewell of the
dead at the threshold of eternity on that
May day at Arlington. q
