When Spring, with dewey fingers cold, Returns to deck their hallowed mould, She there shall dress a sweeter sod Than Fancy’s feet have ever trod. By fairy hands their knell is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is Sung; There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray, To bless the turf that wraps their clay; And Freedom shall awhile repair To dwell a weeping hermit there! May 30. Memorial Day continues to call out the great affection and gratitude. With which the memory of the men who died for the Union is cherished by the people. The ceremonies of the day, simple in their nature and of short duration, are yet performed with every touch of genuine feeling, and are never viewed by: patriotic men but with a profound sense of their significance. It is not a day for long faces nor deep bands of black, nor need it be. The re- calling of stirring events in which men in arms strove for mastery on the field of battle is not associated with either gloom or despair. The parade is spir— ited, the poems and addresses contain the note of triumph, and the music is patriotic rather than funeral. At all the great centers, the observ- ance of the day is on a scale com- mensurate with the surroundings. The populations the thousands of soldiers’ graves to be decorated are factors for the full de- velopment of the spirit of the occasion. The processions are imposing, and the large and long rows of flower-strewn graves are But probably the more beautiful and sug gestive sight is that presented in some sadly beautiful and suggestive. village cemetery, where a small flag . waves at the head of a single grave, and where some single individual, an old man or a child, comes with a hand- For, by the thoroughness of the organization of the Grand Army of the. Republic, and the pains it has taken with this particular feature of its work, no soldier’s graye, however solitary or re- mote, is neglected. Wherever lies buried a man who died for the flag, if known, is remembered on this day. - And there is profit as well as sacred beauty in this service. What is better calculated to make men love the counv try than this sincere and unaffected exhibition of reverence for the mem- cry of those who have died for it ? = Men, it is true, do‘ not stipulate for ful of flowers to lay upon it. such things when they enlist for war. or when they go into battle, but the country which cherishes grateful re- collections of its dead heroes and pro- vides for those they have left behind, lacks for defenders when the hour of danger arrives.‘ So that, throughout all the land on Memorial Day, there is a service which no man which testifies no less to gratitude for what never may consider unmoved, and has been offered up upon the country’s altar, than to as noble sacrifices still to come if the country shall at any time need them and demand-them.
