“Ah! never shall the land forget
How gushed the life blood of her brave—
Gushed, warm with hope and courage yet,
Upon the soil they fought to save.”
Agaio, we honor in the decoration
to-day, the Confederate soldiers who
have survived the bloody strife. We
recall their Bufferings and escapes—
APRIL 26th, 1872,
By Rev. C. W. Lane.
Neighbors and Friends:—Again is
Spring attired in varied green ; again
she wears upon her brow, her jewelry
of flowers; again has the sunbeam's
touch in the woods, by the wayside
and in the garden, awakened the jes
samine, the iris, the periwinkle, the
rose; and “tho’ they slept in dust
through the wintry hours,” “they now
break forth in glory.”
With flowery banner and boquet,
and wreatli and heart and cross ; with
evergreen adornings; we gather in
this chapel to-day, that after appro
priate solemnities we may go forth in
procession to adorn the graves of the
Confederate soldier dead who sleep in
our village cemetery. Why honor we
thus the soldiers of a Confederacy,
whose setting sun is marked by the
day on which we now assemble? Why,
as the Jewish people commemorated
by suitable observances the burning
of their beautiful city with fire, do
we decorate the graves of our soldier
dead, and thus commemorate tiie
mournful past ?
We thus honor patriotism. What
is true patriotism ? It is such a love
of country as makes one willing to do
much, and sutler much for his country’s
good.
But what is Country? On this
point, let me briefly say for the benefit
of the young who are here, there is
something peculiar in American histo
ry. We live under two Governments
at once—a National Government and
a State Government. From the be
ginning of our history almost, wise
and able men have differed as to the
exact sphere of each of these Govern
ments. The Southern view was, that
the allegiance of the citizen was to the
State first, and that the States had a
right to withdraw from the partner
ship of States which made the Gen
eral Government. The Northern
view was, that the citizen owed alle
giance to the General Government
first, and that no State had a right to
withdraw from the Union. The South
ern States, one by one, asserted what
they believed to be their right, and
withdrew from the Union. The North
and West denied the right, took up
arms to resist its assertion, and to keep
the South in the Union. Under the
Southern view, patriotism required
the citizen of Georgia and of any se
ceded State, to stand by and defend his
State or the New Confederacy that
was formed—as under the Northern
view, patriotism required the North
erner to stand by and defend the Gen
eral Government in its claims.
The world never saw a truer patri
otism, than that which led the sons of
the South, who were deeply convinced
that their country was in peril and its
rights sought to be crushed out, to go
forth from their quiet homes, wearing
the grey, to the stern realities of iion
war. As victorydid not finally perch
upon their banner, the world rrfay say
it was a rash, a misguided patriotism.
That question we leave for coming
generations to decide, when the pas
sions of the hour shall have passed
away. We claim not infallibility for
the South; we accord not infallibility
to the North. Accepting fully the po
sition that the result of the war set
tles the questions that were at issue
between the North and South in their
political aspects, as mere questions of
human law; let it not be forgotten
that the sword could not decide them
in their moral aspects, unless the shal
low Philosophy and still shallower
Theology be adopted, that success is
the standard of right. This principle
by a logical necessity, compels its ad
vocate to pronounce the noble band of
martyrs, whose names form the roll of
honor of the Church of Christ, guilty
criminals ; because from an earthly
standpoint, for a long period, complete
failure, the loss of all things and the
loss of life, marked their adherance to
Christianty. Besides in a wider view,
it is not yet decided which of the par
ties to the late Revolution is the true
victor. Human life, says another, is
largely made up of mistakes, and true
wisdom consists in extracting the
greatest amount of good from the
blunders made. That party which is
the more successful in so interpreting
the experiences of those sad years of
demoralization and of blood, as to ad
dress itself with the greater vigor to
the diligent culture of a broader char
ity, to the earnest effort to subdue in
themselves the two great American
sins of self-deification and dollar deifi
cation—that party which is the more
successful in gathering efficient mo
tives from the tragic past for a subor
dination of the interests of the shad
owy Present to those of the change
less Hereafter—that party plucks true
victory from the bosom of the battle
storm, and moves down the aisles of
the Temple of History, wearing the
laurels of the Conqueror.
Whatever may be the verdict of
Posterity as to the wisdom of the war,
but one voice can ring out through
the coming ages, as to the genuineness
and intensity and fervor of the patrio
tism of the men of the South who
went out to battle, under a deep and
selemn sense of duty. Duty! “’lis
the sublimest word in the English lan
guage,” said our own great Lee in a
letter to his son. At its cad, many a
boy in grey went forth to patient en
durance of toil—of scanty food and
clothing—of weary marchings—of
pain and sickness—of wounds and
death. We honor their patriotism,
their devotion, to-day.
: en freely at the call of duty—their j was on his face as he spoke of being
j forced marches upon “three days’ ra- ~
j tions” so-called—their hours of agony
and delirium from fever as they lay
wounded on the battle plain, or lan
guished in the hospital. We recall
the moral heroism with which they
calmly accept defeat in battle as the
will of Providence; and return with
honest purpose and unstained honor
to the pursuits of peace and the duties
of citizenship. Far distant be the day
when the Southern heart shall fail to
beat warm with appreciation and love
for the surviving veterans of the Rev
olution.
Again, we honor in the decoration
to-day, the self-sacrifice and gentle
ministry of the mothers and daughters
of the South, during the war. Who
does not know with what untiring in
dustry they labored for the comfort of
the soldiers in the field! with what
unwearied diligence they ministered
to the sick and dying soldier ! Among
the sick and wounded and dying du
ring the later years of the war, my
eyes daily saw, what was visible
throughout the land, woman’s hand
full of kindnesses for the pale suffer
ers, and woman’s loving ministry bring
ing gladness to hearts that would soon
throb no more. We would thus teach
our children to reverence the mothers
and daughters of the Revolution, and
to feel that life has no brighter path
than that which leads to the relief of
distress and want and sorrow.
“O'- to watch death’s livid hues depart
To soothe each paug of woe
To whimper hope to the fainting heart
la the noblest deed below.”
Again, in the decoration to-day, we
not only teach our children to respect
and cherish the heroic devotion of
their soldier kindred and fellow-citi-,
zens who fell in the war or still sur
vive, but we teach them to avoid that
want of respect for our own Southern
history, which the tone of the litera
ture and legislation of the other paity
to this “war between the States” is
calculated to develope. We remind
our children that to be called and
classed as rebels, is only to encounter
what the forefathers both of the North
and the South encountered in ’76 :
we remind then that our great and good
Washington was called a rebei through
out the civilized world for years, with
out any damage to his fame or his
usefulness—that we are in illustrious
company when classed as rebels, and
that this epithet intended to be de
scriptive of our position during the
war, becomes a name of honor if we
are now true to God and duty.
But what are the duties of the liv
ing present?
The morning advances and I can
but briefly indicate some of them.
1st. Look after the widow and the
orphan of the Confederate solliie^ and
the maimed and helpless surviving sol
diers. Unlike the widows and or
phans of soldiers who fell in the North
ern army and unlike its surviving sol
diers, they have no rich Government
to generously provide for them out of
the National Treasury. However
wrecked in fortune, let us not forget
the eloquent appeal from Confederate
widows and orphans and disabled sol
diers to every noble sentiment within
US’ *
Gold larks in every aim of life
It sways the lofty and the lowly.
And shroads beneath its sable pall
Each aspiration high and holy.
For it we utter earnest prayers.
And solemn vows are made and broken.
And beanty barters truth and hope.
And bitter scat ching words are spoken.
Gold cannot add one honr of life,
Or buy love’s holiest caresses;
It cannot stay the silver streak
Time blends with b*anty’s tresses ;
It cannot bring the lov'd one back,
So rudely torn from our embrace ;
It cannot smooth the wrinkled brow
Scor d deep with griefs relentless traces.
Gold cannot bring youth’s rnddy plow
Back to the cheek of fading 1 beauty ;
It cannot hush the still, small voice
That hints of long neglected duty ;
It cannot heal the broken heart.
Throbbing with some unbounded aorrow ;
I'or words that wring the soai to day,
Gold cannot bring relief to-morrow.
Then let us spurn the glittering bribe.
Nor breathe for it one sigh of sorrow ;
Gold can at last but gild the bier,
Or buy the pall that want must borrow ;
The lowest heart in all the laud
Is rich beyond all golden treasure,
If truth and virtue, hand in band,
Have been through life its rule and measure.
TENDER AND TRIE.
BY T. S. ARTHUR.
“Strong and manly and true as
steel.”
It was the remark of a gentleman
muscular brother-in-law, “if it ain’t
Ned himself. Why what on earth
tempted you to get yourself up in that
style?”
“What style?” asked the much abus
ed husband, as he rubbed the growing
lumps on his forehead.
“Why, when did you shave?”
It was all clear to him then. His
wife had put up her hand in the dark,
and meeting the shaved face of a man
took herbusbaud for an intruder. She
recognized his voice nt first, but tl e
second time be spoke her terror was
too great and she fainted. When the
brother-in-law rushed in he saw a thin
faced man, with a slightly bald head,
in a long white night robe, and in his
rage at the supposed outrage fired at
him, missed, and then knocked him
down with hi3 fist. Fortunately his
voice saved the husband from a second
shot. His wife recovered from her
faint only to faint again at the recog
nition of her husband’s shaven face
and the pistol shot. He finally got to
bed and slept very well until morn

Adventures After a Shave.
[From the Evansville Journal.
A worthy citizen undertook to trim
his beard a short time since, and by a
slip of the scissors spoiled the cut.—
He trimmed a little more, and still (
more but it would look iop sided, so '
he went to the barber’s and got sha- !
ved for the first time in twelve years, j
He was very busy and business de- ;
tained him in his office until a late \
hour of the night, and when he went
home he found that his family had re- j
tired. This was not an unusual oc
currence, so he silently entered by
means of a passkey, sought his own
room and undressed without lighting standing near me. I did not hear the
the gas. He got partly into bed, when reply made by his companion, who
his wife astonished him by uttering a was a lady; but, from something in
loud and prolonged scream. He was the manner of the gentleman, I con-
very much alarmed for her, andjeared eluded that her idea of the person re
sile had lost her reason. He implored ferred to was not full in accord with
her to tell him what was the matter, his.
At the sound of bis voice she scream- At the lower end of the room a

“Strong and manly and true as

Even so. And yet, looking still in
to the tender, almost dreamy face of
the bride, I could not feel at ease
touching her future.
Grant Baldwin I knew well. We
were old friends. His bride I had not
seen until this evening. There was
something more than beauty in her
face,something that held your gaze like
a spell Her eyes were of a deep hazel,
large and soft; her countenance very
fair, almost to paleness ; her form
slight and her stature low. I noticed
that, as she stood by her husband, she
leaned toward him in a kind of shrink
ing, dependent way, and every now
and then glanced up into his face with
a wistful sort of look that I did not
clearly understand.
1 met them not long afterwards in
their new home, and was more than
ever charmed with Mrs. Baldwin.—
She was pure and sweet and gentle,
and he was strong and manly and true
as steel—meet complements of each
other, one would think ; and yet, as
ou that first evening, I felt the lack of
some element to give a complete har
mony to their lives. It troubled me.
I knew my friend well—knew him to
be a man of high honor and strength
of character ; a little cold and unde
er, ran screaming from the room.
Tripping on the carpet the poor
child received a severe bump od its
little head. Matters were finally i monstrati ve, as we say; rather more
straightened up at home, but on the i inclined to hide what he felt than to

aforesaid citizen vows he will never j eyes of Mrs. Baldwin more than once ;

dangerous to peace and even to life.
A Consequential Backdown.—
Grant and Fish are evidently about
to take water—yas the saying goes—
in that little matter of a thousand mil
lions of dollars, or thereabouts, for
consequential damages. The dispatch
es, of yesterday, indicate clearly that
the claims will be withdrawn from the
American case, and the Geneva Board |R neighboring city,
occupants of j be permitted to proceed with the ar- My frieud sighed
look as they rested now and then on
her husband’s face. I was puzzled.—
What could it mean ?
A few days afterward, meeting 31 r.
Baldwin, I asked after his wife.
“Well,” he answered.
But in the tone of voice my ear
read : “Not well ”
“How does she like her new home,”
I inquired. He had brought her from
each cabin wili inhale the fragrance | bitration without being obliged to
of the spicy shore and partake of the
joy of repose.
Once more we state that duty calls
upon us to seek for a true prosperity
to'these United States, and to pray for
Heaven’s blessings to rest upon the
North and the We3t as well as upon
the South. To stimulate ourselves to
tliis God-appointed duty, let us re
member that war is always a scourge
for sin to both parties that suffer from
it—that Heaven sometimes punishes
by a bloated material prosperity, some
times by a bitter material adversity—
that hatred of fellow-beings is the
bane ol happiness—that charity is the
only happiness, and the one solitary
thing that makes man like God, “for
God is love.”
A memory of the war moves across
my field oi vision. In youder College
chapel, filled with the sick and
wounded from our army, I stood by
the couch of one of the soldiers, whose
graves we decorate to-day. He haft
just been told that a few hours at most
was all that he could live. A tear
stood in his eye and a tremor was on
his lip, as the awful intelligence was
realized, and he said must I so soon
cease to behold the things of earth !
And then the name of Jesus, the sin
ner’s Saviour, which I believe his heart
had before that dread hour learned to
love, was uttered in his dying ear.—
Soon he recovered from the shock ot
the first realization ol the nearness ol
rfnake any reference to them.
The whole matter of these claims
was trumped up as an election card
for General Grant. Neither he nor
Secretary Fish ever had any hope that
involuntarily.—
“Not too well, I’m afraid,” he answer
ed. “She still feels strange.”
“The tenderer the flower,” I remark
ed, “the more dillicult to transplant*”
“Yes,” In an absent tone.
“I should say,” I added, “that your

it would stave off final arbitrament of | gauization.”
the Alabama claims, at least during I “Undoubtedly that is true.” answer-

to talk big and make a big show of so organized difficult to understand?”
bullying England into his terms of set
tlement. It would have been a big
card for him, if he could only have
played it.
But the American people were not
desirous of any such electioneering
trickery. Grant’s severest opposition
was from the people of the United
States, who were determined that
there should be no rupture of the
peaceable relations now existing be
tween the United States and England
upon so vain and flimsy a pretext as
the claims for indirect damages —
Grant will have to back down, and
Fish, if his term was not so nearly
ended, would have to retire frem the
cabinet in consequence.—At. Sun.

“Sometimes.”
“Always, I should say,’
he return
ed.
I did not know what reply it was
best to make, and so kept silent. Af
ter a little while he said with some
feeling : “I would give all the world
to make her happy
“Happy !” My surprise expressed
itself in my voice.
“Yes, happy,” he said, with em
phasis. “My wife is not happy, and
it troubles me beyond measure.”
“Do you make no guess at the
cause of her unhappiness ?” I asked.
“I am at eea. Sometimes I think
she don’t really love me. No ! no P’
he added quickly, “not that! I am
sure of her love.”
“Is she as sure of your love?” said I.
The question seemed to hurt him.
“Have I not chosen her from among
women to be my wife V* he answered,
with something of indignation in his
voice. “Am I the man to say ‘I love,’
aDd not mean it ? Did I not promise
before God to love and cherish her till
death ? Sure of my love ! If I have
any element of character more strong
ly developed than another, it is the el
ement of truth. When 1 told her that
I loved her, I told her an abiding truth
She is as dear to me as the apple of my
eve. Tiie very thought of doubt on
her part hurts me like an accusation
of wrong.”
A light came into my mind, bring
ing a revelation of the real ground of
trouble, and I said : “Have you
been as tender to your young wife, al
ways, as true ?”
His eyes flashed, but the fire went
out of them instantly.
“Mere truth in character is often re
served and proud,” said I. “True steel
is a!! well enough. But steel is hard
and co ! d. and cliills by contact.”
Baldwin looked at me strangely.
“Tender and true, my dear friend.—
Tender and true 1 Love will have
nothing less,” I ventured to add.
“Good morning!” he said, in a voice
that I scarcely recognized, and, turn
ing from, he walked away.
Had I offended him ? We did not
meet agaiu for several weeks. I was
going homeward one evening, when I
heard quick feet behind me. A hand
was laid on my shoulder and a familiar
voice spoke my name. It was my
friend Baldwin.
“Come home with me,” he said.
I tried to excuse myself, but he
would take no denial ; so I accompa
nied him home. His manner as we
walked was frank and cheery.
“How is Mrs. Baldwin ?” I natu
rally inquired.
“Oh, very well !” he answered,
without change oi tone.
“Getting more reconciled to her new
home ?”
“Yes.”
“I’m glad to hear it. Few of us can
hear an entire change in our surround
ings without a shadow lulling on our
spirits.”
He did not reply to this remark, but
changed the subject.
Mis. Baldwin met her husband al
most nt the door. She had been
watching for him at tiie parlor win
dow. I noticed that he kissed he/
very tenderly and put an arm about
her waist, spite of my presence. Her
face was all alive with pleasure, and
its whole expression so far different
from what it was when I last met her
that I could but wonder at the change.
Her manner toward me, her husband’s
friend, was very cordial, and quite in
contrast with what it had been at a
previous meeting. Then she w*as de
pressed, absent, arid ill at ease, and
when she looked at her husband her
face, instead of lighting up, grew
strangely shadowed.
I understood it all. The true and
loyal husband had supplemented fidel
ity with tenderness. I saw this in ev
er)’ word, and tone, and action. The
half proud courtliness—the dignified
repression of feeling—-which had so
hurt and chilled his loving little wife,
and held her away from him, were all
gone, fused by the tenderness he per
mitted to go forth in speech and act.
Tender and true ! Yes, he was all
that now ; and his sweet young wife
felt herself to be the happiest woman
in all the world.

The Condition of the Sonth.
[Henry Ward Beecher in the Christian Union.]
It is needless here to trace the po
litical history of reconstruction, or to
apportion tiie blame for its mistakes.
It is enough to say that in point of
fact the State governments of the
South have very largely falien*into the
hands of ignorant and knavish men.
Public money has been wasted and
stolen by wholesale. A proud and
high-spirited population haveseen their
places of trust and honor filled by for
eign adventurers and uneducated freed-
men. The old political leaders, in
whom the people had confidence and
who alone had experience in the con
duct of affairs, have been excluded
from office by Congress. The course
of politics has tended to deepen the
antagonism between the former mas
ters and the blacks, and to still further
alienate the former from the national
authority. This is a gloomy picture.
One feature remains to be added. Into
this weakened and distracted commu
nity there has been no infusion ot new,
healthy blood. It was hoped that im
migration would renovate the South.
But there has been no immigration, or
hut little. The old elements are left
to work out their way unassisted. Of
the present duty of the uation at large
towards the South we shall here say
but a word. The best service that
can be rendered to the Southern peo
pie politically is to let them alone.
Disabilities should be swept away at
a blow. There should be no more
Federal interference with local affairs.
Political salvation for the South can
only come through her own people.
At the late Methodist Episcopal
Conference, in New York city, it was
resolved that hereafter the clergymen
of the denomination should not con
demn amusements indiscriminately.—
It even went so far as to say: “We
sincerely beiieve that, by inculcating
usefulness in our amusements, by a
just regard for tiie sentiments of oth
ers, and, by considerate treatment of
those who err, we may most effectual
ly control the tendency to frivolity
and world lines* wbLh threatens to
mar the strength and efficiency of the
church.”
A female Jo Smith, or rather a coun
terpart of that prophet, has arisen iu
the West. She preaches the doctrine
of a plurality ot husbands, and shows
stones carved with hieroglyphics,which
she swears came direct from heaveu,
and which entitles a woman to au in
definite number of lords. As yet the
number ot these Latest-Day Saints is
small, and their prophetess’ only habi
tation is an old army tent.
