Once again the circling seasons bring around the lima and bear their Bweetcst gifts to deck thi rcstlng:ploce3 oftrjo nation's honored dead. From hundreds of thousands of these sacred mounds, scattered over all this broad land, ascends to-day tho sweet perfume of flowers as n holy incense, tho offerings bf Jiatrioit. ncarts upon tucse nnars oi noblest sacrincc. And how beautiful and befitting in its con ception is' such a ceremonial I Tho tribute of Nature's most beauteous unfoldlngs is borne by the purity and innocence of child hood and laid with unstained and gentle hands over the resting-places of our citizen soldiers. Indeed, it is a reverent thought that secures from unworthy tread tho earth abovo these sacred ashes. These, floral offerings but fitly typify tho purity of (IV cause aud of tho sacrifice, and in their withering recall the. cutting-off of these noble lives in tho very b'loonvand beauty of their manhood. As an outward siim and. expression, let them also bo tho emblems of thoso precious recollections which wo call', to-day from tho fields of msniory the bravo deeds, tho grand achievements, the generous sacrifices, the lofty patriotism, the' glory of our heroes recollections from which we weave wreaths and chaplcts of Ideal beauty and loveliness to adorn tho names and lives of these immortal sons of, the republic. Such cifts Wo have withered and brought with us in thought, our best' and choicest, endeared to us by all tho af fection that gratitude ran inspire, all the devotion that patriotism canawaken,all the aunnration mat exalted manhood can erf- cite, and all tho fond endearments that cling to purest friendship. inat sentiment winch has led mankind In all ages to do homogo to tho worthy dead is ouo of the finest ill the huruatt heart, and it has its fitting counterpart in that nther clement in our nature which reaches nnf after immortality) which seeks by every' euun ui iircices uinuition to escape tnat cer tain oblivion In which nil earthly things must disapjKar by projecting a immo and ft memory out ihto the unfathomed depths .of un cnuicss luiurc. in response to these de mands of the human heart, wo find s'eaN' tered throughout the ages tho mounds, and tumuli of ruder times, and the stately mon uments and.obeltsks, tho chiseled stone and sculptured marble, the triumphal archesT costly tombs, and grand InaUsolemiins of. more advanced civilizations, upon which have been brought into requisition all the resources of wealth and power, of advancing science,- perfected art, and creative genius. But, in nil tho illustrious line of heroes, nmoug all tho examples of valor and faith fulness to duty which gild tho pages of his lory and preserve to our poor humanity its higher claims ond capacities, there are noni' who in courage, In patriotism. In unswery-. ui iiui-itkj', uuu in iitu uiunii grauueur oi tho work accomplished, deserve more at tho hands of their waterity than those who fell in tho struggle for the Union. Who wcro these men of unsurpassed glory? They were our fathcrs.ourbrothcrs, our friends, our neighbors, our countrymen. They were the free men of a freo land. What their achievements? Not tho satis lortlon of wild ambition, not the demands if conquest, not the pursuit of glory, nor selfish aggrandizement. They came in re sponse to the call of their country, in obedi ence to tho command of insulted liberty. They came to uphold the law in the pre servation of this government, nnd tlicy fought in the fulfillment of duty, nnd, after nil, to say they did their duty well is to pronounco their highest eulogy. Better than tho granite shaft, the towering obelisk, or sculptured marble, is tho enduring re nown that by beneficent deeds awakens per petual love in the successive generations of men, that embodies their names and their work In the lasting traditions of mankind. Such a claim upon posterity havo thote upon whose graves to-day are poured a na tion's tears, whose grand deeds to-day com mand a nation's veneration. These simple graves, theso crumbling mounds, may dis appear) but the glory of thoso who sleep shall gild tho historic page, breathing a vital spirit through the literature of the age, tho theme ol poetry and song and eloquence, and wako to living fire the human heart so long as heroism shall Inspire a worshiper or freedom claim a votary. We can better appreciate tho far-reaching results of our national success in the late war by glancing for a moment at the issues presented in that conflict. Thn mi-nli.t States thrust Into the foreground and took lielter behind the proposition that secession ua u laiu&muiionai rigut reserve! to the States. This was primarily a legal question, but they chose not to carry it into thocourts of law, but to submit to the arbitrament of the sword. Tho oceeasion of resorting to the exercise of this assorted right was tho evidence furnished by the election of Mr. Lincoln that tho policy of the government upon the slavery question must thenceforth be restrictive of tho territorial extension of the institution. The two systems of free and slave labor socially and economically, iolitically and geographically, antagonistic generated what was most aptly termed an irrepressible conflict) and, when the ad vocates of slavery sought to secure the per petuation of that institution by exercising the asserted right under the constitution to carry their States out of tho Union, beside the mere legal or political question, which Involved the very existence of tho Union and of the Federal Government, there was necessarily added the social and moral cle ment of tho slavery question, which soon forced tho nation, as a means of self-pro-eervation, not only to striko its blows in de fense of the lawful authority of the govern, ment but to engago upon the side of liberty and the rights of man. But not alone in its moral aspect was tho war confined to the questions jjrowing out of the agitation of slavery. There were otherand far-reaching interests at stake. For ages the world has been trying to solve tho great questions of government and to establish the capacity of mankind for self-government. Experiment after experiment had resulted la either sotyd dlslnlecration or Usurpation and tvramiv. In tho American Republic tho hopa bf the world and its faith in an intelligent de mocracy as the basis of a round and free government was beimr iustificd. Its down fall Would scat more securely on bis throno every monarch, and retard the advanco of republican -sentiments a hundred years, What wonder, then, that when our bo marched forth to battle, to decide Mot on the fate' of this government, the future of tno minions in bondage, out determine lor centuries the political progress of the world, the liberal minds throughout all Christen dom, having at heart tho dearest interests of tho race, watched with most painful anxiety every phase snd step of the great conflict. And when our heroes, thoso that remained, came back With their laurels of yictory, they had determined npt only that there was power in this government to co erco a 'sovereign state, Dut mat tiencciortii the sun in heaven, as ho traversed this con tinent front ocean to ocean. In all its broad expanse, should shine upon a slave no more lorever, and mat a irec, intelligent, and Jaw-abiding people tan not only bo a law. making and a law-enforcing people but that they are tho surest and safest guarantee of a permanent and beneficent government. So.' In the far-renchine consenuences de- (lendent in the result of that issue, tho vaat and almost incalculable importance of the interests involved. Wo discern for those who carried out to filial success tho cause of national unity, free labor, and self-govern ment, claims upon the gratitude, not alone of their fellow citizens, but of all mankind. 'wjiich ought and will secure, to them a place in, uie nucciions oi posterity, in wnicn tncy can; never bo supplanted, and a certain passport to immortality. It is not possible for me to-day,howevcr appropriate the occa sion, might render it, to review tho various scenes in which our honored dead were tho great actors, nor to recount the deeds which make sacred their memories. These are al ready first in your minds. Again, as the black storm-cloud of war. so lomr cathoririif ,n tho southern sky, oursts In its fury over tne wans oi aevotca Bumpier, wo ucuoid tho grand rally of loved ones to tho nation's rescue. Again, in memory, hand grasps hand for the last time on earth, the farewell wyru uru epuaen, tne jusb kiss imparled, tho blessing of God invoked from out the heart's unutterable anguish, as tho bravo boys turn from their homes nnd their loved ncs to suffer and to die. With eager eyo and throbbing hearts wo follow them to battle, theso men in wboso hands wo place Ane lortunes oi liberty and me destiny oi our country, un. those wcro leariui davai How, at times, it seemed as' though the struggle wero hopeless, that all wcro lost but honor!' Yet, as wo Watch" them, with tho old ship of State, sailing out amid the roar of the wild tempest, rising and falling upon the waves of war's tumultuous sea, ever in glory above them streams grandly tho proud flag of our country. Wo review again tho glories of Donclson, Shiloli; Corinth, Vicksbure, Lookout Mountain, ucltysburg, Fair uaks, ilalVern Hill, At lanta, Mobile, New Orleans, the March to .the Sea, and all tho names that fill the mighty list from Sumptcr to Appomattox, trembling at the sound of defeat and thrill ing with tho notes of victory. How price-' less is this picture, hung. in the halls of pre vious memory I Tho vivid reali ties de lineated in its magnibcent groupings and unrivaled coloring can command no por traynl in- speech. Vain were tho temerity that would seek to deepen shadows already k tragic in their darkness, or gild a light of such surpassing radiance. In the long roll of illustrious names of lalen heroes tbcro come troubling on the lips those gallant leaders, Baker, Lyon, Sedgwick, Kearney, McPhcrson, and a host bf others-conspicuous in that fearful strug gle! but, while our homage is paid to illus trious service, wo must not ignore for & mo ment; the half-million of men who, without the pomp and circumstance of high position, lald'down their lives without a murmur or complaint. Who could do more than this? Who bear higher testimony to their loyalty ,than the gift of lifo upon a country's altar? tnese men sleep to-uoy in undisturbed re pose all over the land of the South, Many of them rest in unknown graves, where no loving hand can placo abovo their ashes tno garland or uowers. They sleep in the tabu embrace of Death, no stone to mark the spot made crimson with their blood, unknown and unseen by all save Him whoso all-seeing eye and all-embracing love preserveth to a blessed resurrection. So, wnijo mis morning we pcriorm our miss on of lovo and gratitude towards these reposing nere, let every neart go out in us iunncss oi Affection unto all the patriot dead. At Get tysburg and Antlctam, from tho very gates of the capital, all along where the Poto mac' waves kiss the sacred soil of the Old Dominion, to the Chickahominy and the James, they sleep. They rest in peace to day where onco the red tide of war poured along its gory flood over the dread field of tbo'Wilderhess, and swept with the besom of destruction along the beautiful Shenan- dm,!,. TIiav ih, IfM.T.Inv wtion. Hia Pii m uerland and Tennessee havo traced their courses across tho bosom of tho South) and at Fort Pillow, Memphis, VIckaburg, Port Hudson, Baton Rouge, and New Or leans, all along where tho mighty Missis sippi pours its flood of waters to the Gulf, From where historic Lookout lifts its brow abovo the clouds, along the pathway of the fire that marked the course of Sherman to Atlanta, thence down to tho sea, tho mighty dead aro sleeping. And wbcro heave and swell tbu angry waters of the Gulf, and where the ceaseless tides of the dark Atlantic roll, there sleep our brave, unmoved by alt the turmoil of an ocean grave, awaiting the end of time. My friends, in a certain sense, we can not honor these dead. No act of ours, however reverent the thought that inspires it, can ever reach them. Yet? in a higher nnd a nobler tense, is that privilege accorded us) Indeed, it appeals to us as a duty. It lies in the thorough grasp and comprehension of the work they accomplished, aud the carry ing of it forward to its full completion. They fought in a war which had its origin in diverse interests, sectional, moral, social, industrial, and political. The cause, slavery, from which all theso diversities sprang, it has been their glorious work to remove. They tougnt, to maintain the Union, against disunion. To secure it they uprooted the very cause which made dis union desirable, and hence possible. That Union is based upon the fundamental pro position that governments derive their just powers from the consent or the governed. Any other' derivation of thoso powers is despostlsm. Since, therefore the war itself was the product of interests so radically opposed, aud it has been the fortune of that war t remove, root and branch, the cvit whenoo those diversities sprang, it follows that all those differences, hatreds, enmities, and animosities productive of and growing out of the war should cease with that which gave them birth and nourishment. There is no reason to-day for the further prolonga tion of sectional jealousies or political hatreds, and unwise and wicked is lie who parades their forms when the spirit that gavo tbein life is dead. The time has come or tne nnai neaung oi tno nation's wounds in the work of perfect reconciliation. No other Union than one based on the unity of thought, fecliug, interest, and purpose of all the people of this republic was contemplat ed by our war, and he who throws himself aerrtj the pathway of such a consummation labors to retard and defeat the grand work for whoso accomplishment our brothers ought and died. AhanK lien ven, tho tunes are urolifio with indications that this grand work, of which tho victories of our armies were the first fruits, is rapidly approaching us completion i sectional and race unci are being obliterated, and the jwoplo are growing more and mora jealous oi tne ex, erciso of doubtful federal power). In re sponsc to this wo see the government with' drawing within tho clearly-defined const! tutinnal limits of administrative authority, and the old lovo for the flog once more in spiring the thought and feeling of the South. There, in that sunny land where so many or our brave boys are sleeping, where neither father, mother, sister, brother, can stoop to drop the tear of sorrow or bear the gift of flowers, at this very hour thoso Whom wo called our enemies are doing homagu aiiKO to tne gray and blue, iou lather, mother, sister, brother, wife whoso doar one rests beneath the southern sky, behold at the silent gravo to-day your place Is taxen by one you thought your loe, and your son, your brother, your husband, re ceives the generous homage of the southern heart in the tribute of affection you aro not permitted to pay. So, as In lifo these heroes served their country bravely and nobly, In death they furnish that bond of reconcilia tion Which shall entwine the hearts of tho pcoplo In new nnd mora perfect union. In such a spirit as this wo behold the promiso and tuo potency oi luturo glory and great' ness. When, during the war, an eminent citt zen was asked what wo proposed to do with our Poland when we should have com pleted its conquest, tho reply was, "Wo shall liberate tho Poles." Thank God, wo have liberated our Poles, and blessings by mnso t'oies themselves snail yet bo invoked upon those who mado their freedom possi ble I All honor, then, to our martyred dead 1 All honor to their glorious work I Again before our vision como tho historic deeds that mako their names immortal. deeds upon which, with tho crimson seal of mcir lllc-bloou, they have impressed their uvvuiiuu tu tncir cuuuirjr uuu lis uucmcs. Let us. in tho presence, of their mighty achievements, filled with the spirit of their patriotism, witn equal unsciusnness and de votion to the cause of true union, rise to that lofty citisenship, that elevated states manship, which, in the words of Lincoln, the last of our martyrs, "with malice to ward none and with charity for all," will enable us to carry out the work of restora tion to its most glorious consummation. Thus may wo. honor theso dead and prove worthy to transmit tho glory that descends from them. Father of Mercy, grant that the seeds of patriotism eown by our honored dead In a soil wet with a nation's tears may spring up and bear generous fruit in tho re turn of perfect union, with all its blessings of purer laws, exact justices, equal rights, and perpetual peace. We hold our fallen comrades In the deep est reverence, and recognise them as heroes standing in tho highest niche in Fame's proud temple. Wo honor and revere tho humble soldier who carried tho musket and knapsack through the long ond weary inarch, the same us tho highest officer. But "What'H famel A fnnnlf.il lifA In nthni'uttrAih A taint? beyond us, ev'u before our aealb." Yet we aro apt to bo very anxious to obtain mine, (us wen as Honor, reputation, and Wealth.

Tho happy man is the successful man in this world of turmoil and strife; and tho man or woman who makes somebody else happy is happy, too. The man that has gained the lovo and respect of his friends and fellow citizens, his life has been a suc cess, no matter where he dies; and, if ha gets to bo a crownod monarch of (he world, and never had the genuine love and esteem of his neighbors and countrymen, his lifo has been an ashen vapor. Contentment, happiness, and peace of mind ore preferable to all the transient and vanishing glories of earth. I can present this idea to your minds no better than by citing tho following eloquent and striking illustration, in the language bf tho greatest orator of the age : "A littlo while ago I stood by the tomb of the first Naiuleon, a magnificent tomb of gilt and gold, fit almost for a dead deity, and here was a great circle, and in the bot tom there, in a sarcophagus, rested at lost the restless ashes of that man. I looked at that tomb, and I thought about tho career of the greatest soldier of the modern world. As 1 looked I could see him walking up uuu uuwu ino uuu us ui iuc oeino conicni- flating suicide. I could eco him at Toulon ; could sec him at Paris, putting down tho mob; I could sea him at tho head of the army of Italy ; I could sco him cross the Ifidgo of Lodii with the the tricolor in his hand; I saw him in Egypt, fighting battles under the shadow of the Pyramids; I saw him returning) saw him conquer the Alps and mingle tha eagles of France with tho eagles of Italy) I saw him at Marengo; I saw him at AusterliU; I saw him in Rus sia, where the infantry of the snow and tho blast emoto his legions with the icy windsof Winter. I saw hiin at Leipsic) hurled back upon Paris) banished) and I saw him es cape, from Elbaand retake an empire by the force of his genius. I saw him ut the field of Waterloo, where fato and chanco com bined to wreck tha fortunes of their former king. I saw him at SU Helena with his hands behind his back, gazing out upon the sad and solemn sea, aud I thought of all the widows he had made, of all the or phans, of all the tears that had been shed for his glory and I thought of the woman, the only woman who ever loved him, pushed from his heart by the cold hand of ambition and I said to myself, as I gazed, I would rather have been a French peasant and worn wooden shoes, and lived in a lit tle hut with a vine running over tha door and the purple grapes growing red in the amorous kisses of the sun I would rather have been that poor French peasant, and sit in my door, with my wife kuittlng by uiy side, and my children upon my knees with their arms about my neck I would rather have lived and died unnoticed aud unknown except by those who loved me. and cone down to the voiceless silence of the dream less dust I would rather have been that French peasant than to have been that im perial impersonation of force and murder who covered Europe with blood nnd tears." Will the time ever come when the reason and the better judgment of men will over come their passions, prejudices, ambitions, and desires for wealth, fame, and glory, and that wars will cease? That would be an era of real glory. In the language of Thomson, " Heal f lory Bprlnasfroin the silent conquest of ourselves) ...u.uuv lu., ...0 uuuetm IB IWUIUI llut the first slave."

Stubbing Affray at Lull Inter An Old Feud Rtanllsjlrt Death, On Saturday evening a hurrible affair transpired, by which a man was hurried into eternity by tho hand of a fellow-couutrymuu. Both wero Italians and an old feud had long existed between them Habitouk Dx Cavio, tho .murdered man, hud been to Hazleton ou business, aud era ho returned had imbibed rather freely of in toxicating liquors. On his return to Lattl mer he reeled up to the shanty where ho boarded, and whore he, in company with others, joined in a general conversation. It was not long, however, Until his eyes fell ou FnANK CiinisTi, the murderer. Hare the feud that had long existed, fired by tho li quor he had drank, burst out in a torrent Irom the man Subitore De Cavio, to which the man Christ! listened for a while and ' then retorted. In a short time the words ran high nnd a quarrel was imminent. Fired by liquor. De Cavio rushed for n club. and, seizing a stick about four feet long, he rushed on Christ! and hit him on the head Then they clinched and tho deadly combat began, They tugged and strove with venge ful iro for trie mastery, when Christi, who was perfectly sober, finally succeeded In throwing Do Cavio to tho ground ) nnd whilo his foe was prostrato he drew his knife a I .1 . . . 1 1 i T . .1 . i .i f i ! 1 1 -i i lUlijj, UlHIUIV-UlUUeil BUUril-JIUlUIVU BllllCfcUJ and raising it high in the air ho plunged it into the leit breast of his victim. .Hastily withdrawing tho recking blade he again uungeu it to me nut in the side oi the vie im. Then arising he sheathed his knife and left the place. Do Cavio arose to his feet and attempted to follow, but the loss of blood and exhaustion soon told on him. and when he got about ten or fifteen paces he re turned to the shanty, staggered and fell to tho floor; where he died in about two min utes. The spectators, as soon as they saw the man had died, started after tho murder er and captured him near Harlcigh. Mr. John Orgill, of Lattimer, secured tno war rant fnr the murderer's arrest, which was served by Jos. D. Hampton, of the Coal and Iron Police. An immense crowd gathered In front of tho office of Mr. Hampton when tho man was broughtto town, and for awhile the excitement Was intense. Tho murdered man has a wife and family in Italy, but the defendant has none. Ha is a brutish. UglV-lookinff ruffian, and Is just such a looking wretch from whom such a aced could uo expected. When taken to the lock-up he begged pitifully for protec tion, declaring that his countrymen wnuM "break the lock-up open, drag him out, tar him, and burn him alive." So great was his terror that out of his own pocket he paid special police to remain with him. This morning he was taken to Wllkcs Barro on tho 6 15 a. m. tralh, in charge of Officer Hampton. A coroner's jury was impaneled on Sunday, who rendered a verdict according to facts. Yesterday afternoon 'Squire Roberts sub pcenaxl Joseph Mirano and Leonard Decor lo, who wero eye-witnesses of the murdor. It is probabio that ho will soon know tha difference between tho Italian stilletto and American rope as an exterminator or life. Hazleton Sentinel, Monday. Attempted Wife Murder. The quietness of Phllllpsburg, New Jersey, Sunday night about eleven o'clock was disturbed by the cries of murder emanating from the residence of Patrick Mehan, a Very respectable citizen residing in tho First ward. The facts aro as fol lows ! About two years ago h is daugh ter, Mary Jane, a bright and handsome young lady of eighteen summers, was married to a young man named Peter Youngken.
