The cause for j which they so bravely battled was lost; and the flag that they bore over so I many fields of courage, where doath J and its victim stood face to face, has j been furled forever with the sanctity I of a people's love resting upon it, anil j stained with the life blood of some of our best and bravest sons. But despite all of this, they have not died in vain, for in their deaths they have endriched the pages of military history and furnished an Example of patriotism and devotion that will be an Inspiration to all who live after them, and which will be remembered as long as time endures. But how can we best observe the 1 day? It should not be made a gala 1? j 1 li. | occasion uiai uepuves u ui lis uuci significance and beauty, and where the lessons we should learn from its I observance are ignored and will soon j1 be lost. 'Neither should we observe J it with inalice in our hearts, but rath-j er fcn the spirit of love and forgiveness for the injuries we have suffer- ' ed. But while we approach the day with these feelings we can still be j proud of our gallant dead and en-| shrike them forever in our hearts.' They are not here to speak for themselves, but if they could make their wishes known, we may be sure that they would endorse the sentiments expressed above, 'fhe occasion should be made use of to inspire the hearts | of the rising generation to always bedr in mind that many of them are descended from these truly great men, fof they were truly great in their} patriotism, and that it is incumbe t j cn them not to bring reproach on the j nrmes they bear and in which they. may well take an honest pride, but. j remembering at the same time that aj name is noble only when nobly borne. I Then, too, it must be bornes.in mind j that the spirit of true patriotism is i o;:e of the noblest attributes of human character, and that the man who is lacking in this is lacking in all else j that can make a man either great or j good. We but honor ourselves when we honor our gallant dead, and it is a beautiful and appropriate custom to tell of their deeds on the battlefield, tell of their unflinching heroism in the time that tried the souls of all true men, and to decorate the graves with beautiful flowers, as appropriate J momnriq lc nf nnr lAVP anfl remem brance, at the same time lifting our hearts in an unspoken prayer that ! we may be strengthened in our desires that our lives, in all things, may reflect honor on those wlio have passed into the Great Beyond. And to you, fellow-soldiers of the < Confederate army, the writer makes this, possibly his last farewell words," " prayer: That the blessing and protection may rest upon you in. your declining years; that you may have a 4 sufficiency of worldly comforts until 4 the end; that you may have that ] serenity and peace which can come ] " ** ? - a only from tne consciousness 01 uutj well performed; and that, when your eyes shall close on earthly scenes, you may fled everlasting peace and rest in the Paradise of the "Blessed !
