That it would be nearer the truth to say that even in their serious affairs they seek and find a brighter side has been shown in many ways, and in none more clearly than in their cele bration of Memorial day. Through out the country the day has come to have a dual quality or, rather, the lights and shadows of the national character have equally sought expres sion in its observance. In both of its aspects, as a day of general outing for the masses eager for green fields, and as a day of devotional pilgrimage to the cemeteries, especially by the Grand Army veterans and their friends, the anniversary was kept in Bloomsburg with a demonstrativeness and a universality never before equal ed : and it is altogether certain that its higher meaning was not lost to view in its holiday quality. In truth, Memorial day, instead of fading out, is broadening its influence. It is more than a tribute from the living to the immortal dead its garlands have hidden all the scars of the war time, and its banks of roses have bu.Ied out of sight all lines of sectional demarcation. It is well that the lessons of the day, learned at such fearful costs, should be annually impressed upon the minds of the rising generation ( for the patri otic truths which they teach were rever so necessary as in these momentous days, when reckless men are once more seeking to arouse a sectional feeling in the land.
