POSTE ERlTYS DUTY.

Another Memorial Day is upon us, with it's compelling reminder of the nations obligation to the "boys of '61, '" it's pathetic and irresistible evidence that the survivors of the struggle of fifty years ago are becoming steadily fewer and steadily feebler, and its i'm. perative warning that the time is not far off when the labor of love and loyal ty which they have willingly and faith fully performed on each recurring Memorial Day during all the interven- ing years, must be done by others if the sacred Day and the beautiful custom are to be perpetuated with any regard to their original significance.
 This is a thought that is doubtless . expressed every time Memorial Day comes round, but the real meaning of which manifestly falls short of impress sing the very element to whom the veterans naturally look to take up the work and assume the duty-their direct posterity. The sons of veterans gener- ally, and particularly those who are not affiliated with the patriotic order of that name-as we'll as some who are seem to fail lamentably i'll realizing the obvious fact that tilial devotion, as well as patriotic duty should impel them to come forward, voluntarily and cheerfully, and assume their share of the Memorial Day task which is con- ing to be more and more of a burden with each succeeding year; for in pro- portion as the soldiers graves increase in number, the number and ability and yigor of the survivors diminish.
 Fortunately the children in our schools are being trained i'll a way that encourages the conviction that the les son of Memorial Day will be perpetual ed for generations to come; and we have the spectacle of children, the par ents of many of whom were born i'll foreign lands long after the Civil War ended, bringing flowers to lay upon the graves of departed heroes whose own blood kindred may have never taken the trouble to see the simple ceremony of decoration.
 The survivors who comprise David s. Cowles Post, c. A. R. now number only IS, some of whom are unable, by reason of age or infirmity, to participate in the Memorial Day observance. Only few years ago there were 70 members.

The others have answered their last roll-call, and the task of decorating something like 125 graves devolves upon the dozen aged veterans who are able to make the rounds of the ceme- teries. But they perform the soldiers task cheerfully and gladly.
 It is the plain duty of their posterity to give them tangible assurance that their example of loving loyalty to the memory of their dead comrades shall not have been given ill vain, and that the tribute they have so long and SC faithfully paid to their brother soldiers who have passed OH, shall be paid to them.

JUDGE BURPEE'S HOME.

Hartford gets notable addition
 to it's population in the advent of
 Judge Lucien F. Burpee. Jurist,
 soldier, scholar and gentleman,
 Colonel Burpee is an asset to any
 community. And with his usual
 good judgment he has selected the
 best community within his juris-
 diction to be all asset to.-Hartford
 Times.
 The esteemed Times is undoubtedly justified ill its pride over Hartford's ac- quisit ton; but we must dissent from its evident claim to a monopoly of Colonel Burpee. The home p. O. address of that desirable citizen is Canaan. Conn, and his real home is ill our romantic, charming and more or less exclusive suburb, Twin Lakes. Here the Colonel, with his estimable family, lives. The exactions of his judicial position, how ever, and the rigors of the season, make it advisable for him, as a matte- of con- venience. to have also a place to stay during a certain period of the year; and with characte; istic good judgment he has selected Hartford-which really is not a bad place for any man to stay. But the point is, Judge Brrpee lives in Canaan, though he will stay ill Hart ford some of the time.
