The complete exercises is to be eotoma. It is to be hoped that the occasion atriotly observed by all of oar eiti- aeoa, and it ie earnestly urged that the merchants dose their stores during the the whole afternoon, io order that the young men may be aflbrded aa opportunity of partiei paling in tho eelebratioo. Time and other softening infln wee, which are calculated to blunt oar reeoHeotlou of the horrors of the craei war and smother the aoimoe- itiee which we once cherished, are too apt, at the same time, to make aa grow careless, year by year, of the rdverenoe due the memory of those maity r« who freely surrendered their lives for what they conceived to be the right. The quarter of a cen tury which has rolled over our beads since the great conflict that moved the world, has softened many a ragged p'non, tempered the anguish of many a bleeding heart, and left nothing but aa ugly soar to mark the spot where ones was seen a cruel, gaping wound ; most of the hatred engendered has been buried as flMr oat of sight as those loved ones whom we yearly meet to h nor with offirrtugsof our choicest Son th em flowers, and sad indeed is the lot of him who cannot say from his heart, M It ie well that this is so.* Bat jaot In the same proportion as the horrore of the war grow kss, our desire to immortalise our dear dead heroes should increase, leas, through indifference, we detract from that glory which ia their only heritage and remova from around their heads the halo which should crown them iu the mind ot the younger generation—a generation which has grown to manhood since these patriots perished and which knowa ot their glorioua martyrdom aad sell sacrifice only by tradition. To the women of the South be longs the honor of having kept alive the memorv of onr beloved slain, and aa long aa there remains a mother, sister, wife or sweet-heart of one who freely laid all that was sweetest to him upon his country's altar, the recollection of bis brave and bright young manhood will not be forgotten. Amid tbe cares and trials of bnsiness which sorround onr men, let them continue to de vote one afternoon of each year to thoughts of those who M Died sod wore the Gray."
