R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of
trade says: It is astonishing how far
monetary anxieties have passed from the
minds of men, though gold exports have
not yet ceased. The most powerful sus¬
taining influence is the continuance of
the exceedingly favorable crop prospects.
In some localities tributary to New Or¬
leans rain is needed for cotton and sugar,
but winter wheat is now so far advanced
in many states that a heavy yield is con
sidered certain, and prospects for other
grains are as bright as they well can be
at this date. Wheat has fallen If cents at
New York,corn 5 cents and oats 3f cents,
while pork has.yielded 25 cents per bar¬
rel and lard an eighth. Exports of wheat
already show a decided increase. Sugar
is a shade lower for Muscovado raw and
for granulated. In general, the prices
of commodities have declined not far
from 1 per cent for the week, and will
further decline as the new crops draw
near if no disaster comes. The end of
the great coke strike does not yet
bring lower prices, for it is announced
that $1.20 will slid be charged, but

and to the souiH, J£cep not hack ."— Isaiali
xliii., 0.
Just what my text meant by tho-north
and south I cannot say, but in the United
States the two words are so point blank in
their meaning that no anS one can doubt. They
mean more than last east west, for although
between those two there have been riv<(
alries and disturbing ambitions and infelici¬
ties and silver bills and World’s fair contro¬
versies, there have been between them no
batteries unlimbered, no intrenchments dug,
no long lines of sepulchral mounds thrown
up. It has never been Massachusetts Four¬
teenth Regiment against Wisconsin
Zouaves; it lias never been Virginia artil¬
lery against Mississippi distinct rifles. and
East and west are words,
sometimes may blood mean diversity They of interest,
but there is no on them. can be
pronounced without any intonation of wail¬
ing and death groan. But the north and the
south are words that have been surcharged
•with tragedies. They are the words clouds which had been sug¬
gest that for forty years
gathering for a four years’ tempest which
thirty years ago burst in a fury that shook
this planet as it has never been shaken since
it swung out at the first world building. I
thank God that the words have lost some of
the intensity which they multitude possessed of northern three de
cades ago; that a vast
people have moved south, and a vast multi¬
tude of southern people have moved north, by

now, just after two Memorial Days, one of
them a month ago strewing flowers on south¬
ern graves, and the other yesterday strewing
flowers on northern graves, it might be ap¬
propriate and useful for me to preach a ser¬
mon which would twist two garlands—one
for the northern dead and the other for the
southern dead—and have the two interlocked
in a chain of Sowers that shall bind forever
the two sections into one; and who knows
but that this may bo the day when the
prophecy ancients of the text fulfilled made in in regard regard to this the
may be to
country, and the north give up its prejudices
and the south keep not back its confidence?
“I will say to the north, Give up, and to the
south, Keep not back.”
But before I put these garlands on the
graves I mean to put them this morning a
little while on the brow's of the living men
and women of the north and south who lost
husbands and sons and brothers during the
civil strife. There is nothing more soothing
to a wound than a cool bandage, night and these dew.

The world has forgotten it, but father and
mother havenot forgotten it. They may be

fresh wound, and will always remain a
wound.

your Jocks at least two flowers, one crim¬
son and one white, the crimson for the Strug
gle of your life, which has almost amounted
to carnage, ana the white for the victory
you have gained.
Before I put the two garlands I am twist¬
ing upon the northern and southern tombs,
I detain the garlands a little while that I
may put them upon the brow of the south’ livin'*
soldiers and sailors of the north and while’
who, are now though at peace at variance and in for hearty a long loyalty to
the United States government, and ready,
if need be, to march shoulder to shoulder

winters that have since the war, I
think, have sufficiently cooled the hatreds
that once burned northward and south¬
ward to allow* the remark that they who
sides. fought in The that conflict were honest on both
chaplains on both armies were
honest in their prayers. Tho faces that
went into battle, whether they marched tow¬
ard the Gulf of Mexici or marched toward
the north star, were honest faces.
It is too much to ask either side to believe
that thos6 who came out from their homes,
forsaking child, father and mother and wife and
many of them never to return, were
not in earnest when they put their life into
awful exigency. Witness the hist scene at
family prayers up among the Green mount¬

sugar cane. Men do not sacrifice their all

dying amid Federal? and Confederates, I forgot
the horrors to ask on which side they
fought, when with what little aid I could
take them tor their suffering bodies, aud the
mightier the aid I could pray for their souls, I
passed days and months amid scenes
that in my memory seem like a ghastly
dream rather than a possible reality.
When a New Orleans boy, unable to an¬
swer took my question the as to where he was hurt,
out from folds of the only garment
that had not been torn off him in the battle
a blood, New Testament, marked with his own life
and I saw the leaf turned down at the
passage, “My peace I give unto You, not as
the world giveth give I unto You,” it read
just as though it had been a northern New
Testament. And when I sat down and took
from a South Carolinian dying in a barn at
Boonesville his last message to his wife and
mother and child, it sounded just like a mes¬
sage that a northern man dying far from
home would send to his wife and mother and
child.
And when I picked up from the battle
field of Antietam the fragment of a letter
which I have somewhere yet, for the name
and the address were torn off, I saw it was
the words of a wife to her husband tellin<*
him how the little child prayed for their
father every night that he might not get
hurt in the battle and might come home
sound and come home well, but that if any¬
thing happened to them they might all meet
again in the world where there are no part¬
ings, it read just as a northern wife would
■write to a husband away from home and in
peril conveying the messages of little chil¬
dren. Oh, yes, they were honest on both
sides. And those who lived to set home are
living yet were just as honest, and ought
they not for the suffering they endured have
a coronal of some kind?
But we must not detain tho - two garlands
any longer from the pillows of those who for
in a quarter of a century have been prostrate
dreamless slumber, never oppressed bv
summer heats or chilled by winter’s cold.
Both garlands are fragrant. Both have in
them the sunshine and the shower of this
springtime. Him The colors of both were mixed
by gold who mixed the and blue the of the sky, and
the of the sunset, green of the
grass, and the whiteness oi the snow crystal.
And I do not care which you put over the
northern grave and which over the southern
grave. These

and galleries are insignificant compared with
the this mightier throngs which of heaven who God mingle

increasing tides upon its surface, it
it last burst in two. The smaller part
became the moon, which ha3 been
going around the earth ever since at

of the moon now rises tides on the
earth, and, while there was any liquid
to operate on in tiie moon, the |earth
