we have outlived your foolish day.
No longer in our hearts you dwell
Bygone! Bygones, Pass away
But oh, We joyous smiles and tears,
Endearments fond, and pleasures past;
We hopes of ifes first budding years,
Ye loves that seemed too bright to last;
Yc charities and words of peace,
Affections sunshine after rain.
Oh, never let your blessings cease
Rygones, Bygones! Come again!

OBSERVANCE OF MEMORIAL DAY.
To the Editor:
The 10th of May, Memorial Day is a
day of holy memories. 1t was on this
day that the most daring of the South
great leaders "Stonewall jackson" died.
1t Is therefore fitting that it should be
observed as a proper time for loving
hands and tender hearts to unite in pay
ing tribute of tears and flowers to those
who fell fighting for the same great ana
just cause.
A beautiful custom this is, which has
been observed so many years by the peo-
pie of the South in concentration OF the
heroic lives that went out in storm. IL
is right that they should in sunshine or
in shadow, reverently and silently lay
flowers upon the breasts of the brave,
showing, that though dead they are not
forgotten, though overcome they are
not dishonored This beautiful custom has
heretofore, reverently and solemnly been
observed in Raleigh, more so, than at
other places where, innovations have
been allowed.
The Ladies' Memorial Association deep
~ regret that the game Of baseball ar
ranged to be played In this city next
week embraces Memorial Day, and they
earnestly hope that in future, the day
may never be used for any other purpose
than the one 1t is set aside for, that
they may be allowed at least, one half
day for this sacred observance
