{ mission was to cover the graves of de
! ported comrades with the flowers of
spring infloving remembrance of other
days The aged heroes of the civil war
marched bTiskIy, but with serious mien.
Tender memories served to saddcn them,
in the same proportion that the outward
surroundings, with music and flying col
ors, stirred the soldierly instinct. Once
more according to the custom, which IS
now national, they were to spread a man
tie Of bloom over the green mounds be
meath the oaks in the national cemetery,

that the remaining years are few to the
soldier of the sixties Therefore. it was
with grim faces that many trod along
