When misery appears:
It's time enough for weeping
When there's excuse for tears;
So ever at the fountain

GAVE WAY TO TEARS.

Those who saw the solemn process.
sion will never forget the scene. There
were his old neighbors in the line.
Men who had known him from early
manhood. Hundreds of civil war vet
Grams looked their last upon their be.
loved commander and comrade at
arms. Mechanics, who loved the great
commoner because he was their friend
and always held them his equal, passed
the casket and looked upon the great
man now silent in death. Til.ers OF
the soil, men of all stations and condi-
tions. with thousands of women and
children made up the throng, and
all were visibly affected by the sight
of the marble countenance of him who
but few short weeks ago had been in
their midst in the strength and vigcr CT
his manhood.
There was not sound except the
football of the passing crowd. No word
was spoken. 1t was an occasion too
solemn for speech. People passed
through and mingled with the crowd
showing their emotion in their faces.
All felt as though the loss was a per.
sonal one. They had seen the last of
great. noble man, and the impression
will last with most Of the people who
passed through the corridor as long as
memory lives.
IN SOMRRE BLACK.
When one entered the court house
corridors, the funerel aspect at once
made deep impression. Every thing
was draped in rich, lustrous black, ar
ranged with artistic skill. The effect
was somber in the extreme. The walls
were hung in full drapery. From the
chandeliers radiated two large center
pieces, one Immediately over the bier.
There was no light except directly oves
the place where the body lay, and it
shone directly on the face of the mar
tyred president.
The chandelier was draped in rich silk
crepe, with Just little white and the
colors of the American flag showing
through the black sufficiently to make
the effect more striking. There was no
color anywhere else. The treatment
was full, rich and massive, the building
being especially adapted to producing
an artistic effect. J. A. German, of st.
Louis, was the artist in charge of the
decorations.
The effect upon those who entered
was awe-insp:iing. In the dim light
there seemed to be an added sorrow and
sadness in the faces of the people who
felt the influence of the surroundings.
And yet even in the depths of the gloom
and sorrow, the artistic sense felt that
there was beauty and harmony in it all.
