"At the second battle OF Bull
Run remarked a member of one
of the New York posts, "the famous
35th regiment from jefferson county,
N. Y, suffered terribly, and efforts
were Immediately made by the
friends at home to fill its thinned
ranks. Among the first to spring to
its rescue was one Augustus Buel.
who was famous as a hunter in John
Browns tract, and distinguished for
being capital fellow and excellent
marksman. His uncle, Deacon Wealth
erby, met Gus O day or two after he
had enlisted, and said
Well. Augustus, l understand
you have endisted in the 35th?'
Yes, uncle, I have was the re-
ply, and / am to start for the regi-
ment tomorrow morning
That's right. my boy; that's
right contiued the deacon, I am
very glad you have enlisted, and you
have my prayers and blessings. And
now, Augustus, boy, let me give you
little advice. When the order is
given to advance on the rebels,
want you, my dear boy, to remember
the Scriptural Injunction. 1t is more
blessed to give than to receive.

DECORATION DAY.

Importance OF the Proper Observ.
ance Of This Solemn Festival.
Decoration Day is a solemn festi-
val for the Nation. All over the
land the patriotic and true-hearted
citizen and his family make ready
and go out with appropriate cere-
monies and wealth of blossoms to
mark another milestone on the Ma
tion's highway Of peace and prosper
ity. Truly, 1t is fitting and beauti-
ful way TO emphasize the story OF
the great and good work wrought by
the patriot souls and the faithful
hands OF the fathers, sons and broth
ers of this grand and glorious Re
public.
Aud with every passing year the
proper observance Of the National
day becomes more important. To the
children born since the war It lacks
the heart-touching and tender senti-
ment and the fearful memories that
loved ones we're brought home to US
from the field of war and we're laid
with reverent and trembling hands
In hallowed graves and bedewed with
the bitterest drops of anguish that
can fall from human eyes.
"Slain In Battle" He fell with
his face to the foe." These were the
messages that we're flashed over the
wires and sent to the waiting ones at
home by brave and thoughtful COM
rades. Those who lived through
those trying times need not be re-
minded how sacred Is the trust COM
mitted to our charge. They know
what the day means in all It's compre-
hensive and broad significance, and
1t needs no burst of martial music,
no flourish of trumpets or beating
of drums to tell the story. They
know the history of those trying days
and the most eloquen. efforts of ora
tory cannot make 1t more clear or
more dear to them.
But to those who are to como after
us-those who know the war only as
a sad and awful tradition-the day
and Its meaning must be made plain
They cannot know the sorrow, the
pain, the tireless anxiety and the
ever-present watchfulness that filled
those wearisome years Of struggle,
and that had by the greatness of
Divine power, strength and courage
to walt for the fullness of time, that
bright and shining and glorious time
when the youngest Nation of the
earth should shake off the burdens
and unloose the shackles of discord,
and rise in her might, daughter Of
the gods, divinely fair, divinely
strong and royalty gracious in her
supreme and conscious strength, and
stand once more, clothed and in her
right mind, in her own proud posi-
tion as the grandest and most to be
envied of all the Nations of the earth.

A Story of General Lee,

When the great war was over and
defeat had come to the armies Lee
had led, he was visiting the house Of
a friend in Richmond. With that
love Of children that always charac-
terized him, the old hero took upon
his knee fair haired boy. The
proud mother to please her guest,
asked the child, Who Is General
Lee?" Parrotlike the expected an
swer came, THE great Virginian
who was patriot, true to his native
state" And then came the question.
who is General Scott?" and the
reply, "A Virginian who was trait
or to his country"
Putting down the child and turn
ing to the mother, the general said:
Madam, you should not teach your
child such lessons. l will not listen
to such talk. General Scott Is not a
traitor. He was true to his convic-
tions of duty, as l was to mine" -

Dead in Arlington.

the army. 1t was this that account
ed for his presence on the Gettys
burg battlefield on Decoration day
1878.
He walked over the ground sc
flercely contested in '63 and glanced
at the white headstones looking foI
the name of his comrades. At each
grave there was planted a small flag
similar to one he carried idly in his
hand. At one grave he noticed the
frail staff had been broken and the
flag blown away. He stopped to read
the name on the stone. II was,
BvT. LIEUT.. COL. WILLIAM ED
WARDS.
Instantly all the old animosity Of
the years gone by returned. The man
buried here had stolen from him his
opportunity, had stolen the girl he
loved and then there came to him the
thought that this man had sacrificed
his life for the flag; that this man
had lost his life In bringing success
to him and his comrades, and had
helped In saving them from probable
annihilation at the hands of the enc
my.
Reverently he stopped over the
grave and planted the flag he car
ried beside the white stone. As he
did so a woman's voice close behind
him said:
II thank you,
He turned. It was Blossom Ma
than. The same Blossom, though
sad, sweet-faced woman now, instead
of the chit of girl he haG known so
many years ago. The years OF ex-
posure and hardship had changed
him so she did not know him.
1T IL my husbands grave she
explained. The wind has evidently
blown the flag away and | have been
looking for 1t, but without success.
1t seemed so lonely without flag
like the others.
"Blossom!" he cried. Don't you
know me?''
The voice brought back to her the
days of her girlhood; the impetuous
boyish lover.
She gave him her hand and to-
gether they left the battlefield where
hope had died and hope was born
again.
A few months later she again jour
neyed to the west to spend her life
at an army post-a soldiers wife.
