'l ? ' I 1 ! f he Lesson of theTlowers Upon the Soldiers' Craves. f . ^ _ To strew the grafts of the battlo-dead with / flowors is a beastiful custom. Decoration Day, Observed North and South in the time when Nature puts forth bud aiid leaf and fiovrcr, flushed with the firat glory of tho Summer's dawn, is rapidly losing all the Rrnnllprnr vprtinnnl siArihnten whiith nwnront ~ ?; ? ? rv,VMfc it from being ouc wide feast of love and reverence. The graopful, dedicate act bep comes wore and mofV honored in itw performance. The tears of the nation, North and South. are almost dried by Time, and the bitterness that wells up with tears is ceasing to flov from the nation's heart. Kindly and gfQtly Time does his work of soothing 1 the sorrowed. Man, with his evil eyes, his bitirg words and passionate hates, struggles ' against Time in vain. If God is love, love is eternal; and as tbe worse must fall away ' in time before the better. On this lovely f morning, then, as tender, lowing hands lay ' dewy wreaths and garlands of earth's sweet- 1 est flowers upon the soldier%' graves, may the 1 spirit of love be diffused"with the fragrant 9 increase that is wafted on the morning " breeze. s It is becoming m oM story now how dis- 8 cord rose, in4God's own time, among the pros u periug people of these United States. It ^ will to-day be pondered over by millions h how the mad act .f one section plunged the e' nation into Civil war, and h<Jw the fact came 9 like a fearful dream upon a people.used only 11 to the glitter of noifarms and the glint of ^ sabres as features in their days of national ^ joy. To-day we do not demand whence came the sabres j P< to be sharpened and made bare. The war yf ghost, no matter haw or by whom ^ called forth, qvershadowed the lancL the rattle of the drnm and the trumpet blast ^ truck dumb the quivering lips of fear: for P* good or crH.fcyJjfe or death, the ranks on ut either side fere flBod; and, with a gathering ari ^ * cry, in a'gloomy hoihr, the contest was begun. Bow It deepened until the inoet sanguine in the cause of love despaired that the wounds of North and South could erer be healed is within fhe recollection of all. But the war, t"a / for all its fairy, passed away. North ^nd *>u South were iomea Once too re. The strohg hand grasp of the North would not admit itbeing shaken off, and as the two sisters ve . t looked each other iu tne face the sign of he friendship in the clasped hands soon began IJ its subtile inHoenc in tbeir hearts.? wa passing away) the green grass I go ^M'oo^thb trampled, shaken battle field, fas "ares ore/ love for our grand united her- bej . olofresh and green where poison I wo onoe usurped its place.? Pe 11 humanity. * ^ scl For the dead alone were the flowers firs t c" laid upon the soldier's grave. For the man V* be was, the cause he served, and the life he ar< yielded for that cause, the garlands first were gathered and strewn abore the soldier's "? mouldering elay. The poignant grief of mothers, sisters, widows andorphhns lent the swoct scattering of flowers a reality of sor- ne row at firat that kept out of sight the groat eT beneficent end which it would serve. North c* and South it was the same. .The wail that w' rose all over Kgypt when the first born, from cr " ' !-tl ? 01 Pharaoh's down, were slain in tne mgm, was . like the wail heard over our land when the ?c great war was done. The cry for blcod, the battle cheer, the victor's exultant shout, i ^ have all their dismal echoes in the wail of I ar sorrow, which will not be stilled until the '1; ' * Iotq i hearts are weary of their grief, and Times' misty beratb has dimmed the haunting picture of the scarred and gory doad.?

The 0 shame of defeat passes away. too. eThose " who have fought with honest heart in a ?' beaten cause pluck glories of their own from 'j the ruin, and,retting them against their bit terneases for a balance, can let the past die gently in their breasts. Between race and 0 race, nation and nation, the evil often will 1 not die, because the same wayward causes in * one generation may reappear to produco similar results in the next. But in cases of * civil war the exciting causes disappear and ^ ??n??r*llv become almost in explicable to the 1 body of the nation in a century or two.? i Gnelph and Ghibelline.

UK HORSEMEN OF THE CZAR?MARVELOUS RIDING. ) Writing under date of May second, of a eview held in St. Petersburg in honor of lie visit of tlw Kniperor of Germany to tho Jsar, the correspondent of the London Daily ?iews says* The great Attraction of tho day was the nvalry, and that far surpassed anything vhich I have ever seen. The two elements ?f excellence wore, of course, the horses heinselvcs,"a*a"d the horsemanship of the rilers. Can anybody explain the peculiar jliarni about Russian horses ? Without prenuning to answer my own question, I think I may point out that one secret with trainers hero seemsho to educate the horse; tc tnake him trustworthy, faithful, ambitious; ind to dispoitse with nil those contrivances which, in uiofc civilized countries, crush the spirit out of tic poor beasts In what othci country can upe see horses like thoso which dash along the Nvcska ftg free, and fresh and graccfulbr? in what other country de thov have sue a glossy skin, such swnn-like nceks One utst reflect, too, that Russian) of a certain el pd arc born like Arabs, in the saddle. Tho ifrso is a member of tl\e family a brother, u Qjmpuii ion in every adventure The Russian Government had, tnereioro good material; but ft has employed it well and the proof is the snperb Norsemen win to-day gulloptd along by Kaiser William and his Geruan oflicers.

The effect was singularly striking. The Toheck and Cossack cavalry have bi.cn so often described that there < is nothing new to be Said-' about their ap- i pcarance. JThe detachment "which took part , in the ceremonies of to-day wore bright red' . jackets and a sort of fur hats of the same 1 color, and rode chestnut ponies. Onj^heir backs carbines were strappedand in their 1 hands they enrried long red Ihndes. They I led the cavalr/C division.The first-circuit of ' the cavalry was merely fqf inspection; the ' second was for evolutions. How impatiently 1 the Cossacks went through the 6rst. and how eagerly -they entered on the second.? The ponies, overt, trembled with enthusiasm. 1 1 -1- ? J *WA h^mnopAro As tlic eavaicaue apprunuuvu um jjui^.vio, the riders settled firmly in their saddlesf loosened the reins a little, and?the word is given! Like a flush of lightning, and si- 1 multancously, the hor&cs shoot off, and before the spectators have caught thoir breath, are half-way around the square. What an astounding pace! If a horso should stumble, the *ider would never mount ag^fi. The Cossacks crouch low in the saddle, and shout like fiends; while their long glittering lanjes, stretching out horizontally far beyond the horses, are terrifying even to friends and non-combatantf. The Germans do not spare, their plaudits. They love the uhlans who trampled down tho Tnrkos, and the Bismare Cuirassiers who rode into the jaws of death ^t?M in Tnnr hnt nnthino' like these un earthly horsemen from the plains of Russia. Letmc not do negative injustice, however, to the rest of the cavalry. After tho second turn around the field the whole body formed at the rear, opposite the Emperors and the amphitheatre. The front stretched the whole length of the field; somewhat longer?to nse a comparison which many English readers will apprcciate-^-tban from the Seine to the barracks at the foot of the Champs de Mars, and several regiments deep. Thero were probably 15,000 in all?the Cuirassiers with their whito coats and heavy black horses, the hussars with their pikes, the mounted grenadiers and the dragoons, and at the wings the reckless Cossacks again The Grand Duke Nicholas waved his sword, and the entire force moved toward the Emperors and the spectators. At first it was a light trot, then an easy gallop, then faster - ? ? t .V faster, till one couia oniy see muusuuus i ' of glitteriug uniforms and su-crb horses dashing madly toward the crowd.

The firit ^nbstion to be asked is, what is intended ? If it is said the object'is to remedy ibis or that ovii, sttcb ss she employment of too yeung children in ftetorfes or running mills with dangerous exposure Prom uDrotectcd machinery, or .working mines without rognlfl to the perils of mining, then the effort is a legitimate and proper one. . +:.i / hat if it be said that the effort i?> to engage in the struggle botweeo labor and capital, and to secure foe the former all its rights, then the intelligent and thonghtfnl . should pause before engaging in it or countenancing it. ' In the first place, to-admit an antagonism between labor and capital is wrong. It is as wrong as the ufree-iovcrV silent assumption that there is a natural antagdnisn wtwoea man and wife. Bat there is no emir which it is so eaer to plant in the tniud of the operative as tuat this ia so, that the intereste.of th6 two are radically different, and that labor is defrauded of its rights, uterw is hardly anything so diffioultto drive oat ' as this belief when once implanted. >,-.* *.? . (P The interests of the two can be mat)# different, and ouce made so, the antagonism. \ ?which is not between labor and capital, but between capitalists and laborers (a very ' . different thing)?develops very rapidly. Capital and labor are not only not tptagoistic, but arc mutually dependent, and thp more one prospers, the more the other wflj, provided the capitalist and ?the laborer do their mutual duty. t ,y '/ Now, a convention can remove a difficulty which may have accidentally arisen, eqrr^? an abuse, or reform a practice. Suppose that at the mines, when ooal wit high, miners had been paid by a certain portidn of the ooel being assigned to fthena. Whet coal has fallon in price, Remand, instead, money wages.

Churchman. | Temperance.?The New York Tunc* gives the following piece of news whioh will prove interesting to the temperanee men : A now temperance organization styling itself the United Friends of temperance, was .. ! fornmd at a convention of delegates from ten 1 Soutnern States, representing six temper, ance orders, which assembled in Chattanooga, i Tenn., Jan. 22. Only white persons are eligible to membership, and tne pledge, | which includes all alcoholic liquors, whether 1 fermented, Brewed, or distilled, is binding during membership, but a degree is provided for all who desiro to take the pledge for life. No political party discussions, or sectarianism,are allowed, and the order is j forbidden to have nnything to do with the . L.! J. 1 ' prohibitory legislation, tnai Derng regarueu ! as a matter for each citizen to pass upon as I a citizen. Already nearly seventy councils I i>f this order have been formed in Georgia, 'although scarcely three months have passed, and a Stato Convention or the members is 1 to bo held in Macon, Ma^'7 , to perfect the j organization and extend its operation even more widely. . i The Pull Mull Gazette recognises tEft poetic merits of Henry Tiuirod, the Southern j poet. Tt says he rose aud fell by tho impulj scs or cirunistanccs, and it was a gustof pop11 ular enthusiasm which at length showed what passion and what eloquence rus nature was capable of blaqsng into. It was thus that his verses became such as may be ehcri ished like historic monuments. His poem . "Carolina" is certainly nueoF the gems of American literature. 4 0
