N Tim Kentucky Mde of the Ohio Mver, a little above Maysvllle, is n farm long nnd well known as the "Stewart place." Tor forty years this line farm has been managed by tho "Widow Stew art," who in thh year of grace 1893 .t11 nil nnttoA ,ay' woman, though In her seventy-sixth year. Mrs. Stewart her maiden name was Manning was born in Ohio, ns her husband had been in Ken tucky, but only the width of the river sep arated tbeir birthplaces, which were plain ly visible the one from tho other, yet her neighbors, aftrr marriage, spoke of her as a Mnortbern woman" and of her husband as a "southern man." In 1S50 Mrs. Stewart woa left a widow with two boys, the one, Frank, eleven and a half years old, tho other, George, just ten, Still young and energetic, Mrs. Stew art said to the friends who called to con dole with her on her bereavement: "My husband left me above want; hence forth my life object shall be to train up my sons that they may be worthy their father," and religiously and heroically she kept that resolution. Although there was eighteen months' dif ference in the ages of the boys, they looked so much alike that strangers believed they were twins, and the brothers had the same attachment for each other that distin guishes children of the same birth. Frank nnd fJeorge Stewart went to the same school, played the same games, read tho same books, tdept In tho same bed and had the same aspirations, till nt length they came to resemble each other as much aa do the reflections of tho stars in the brooks. Still the mother nnd intimate friends saw a difference In the undercur rent of the Stewart boys' characters. Frank was quite steady, self contained and slow to auger, and while j et a child he showed n knowledge of the future's needs and a desire to help his mother that every one considered remarkable in one of his years. Georgo was mentally quicker and brighter, stronger in his prejudices and mora outspoken and impulsive In the man ifestations of hid likes, but even those who noticed these differences regarded them ns trivial compared with the many and stronger points of resemblance. Soon after her husband's death Mrs. Stewart adopted the orphaned daughter of a distant couhin of his. Dora Stewart was looked upon by the boys as a sister, until the time came, In 1S61, when, as a beauti ful girl of eighteen, she began to attract the attention of the gallant youths along the river. Mrs. Stewart had ever treated Dora as a daughter, and the girl repaid her with a devoted daughter's love; but a time came when tho brothers ceased to regard her as a sister, ami tho widow, with a great anxiety in her heart, saw that both her sons had fallen in love with the same fair object. THE HOHMKHAN 1RKW REIN UEblDK II IU AVith characteristic ardor, George showed bU devotlcn, utwl even spoke to bis mother about proposing to Dora, bat as sue knew tbe secret of t rout, nor nrstttorn, sue pre vailed on fchn to wait for a year r two, or until hi foster sister bad had time to see something of the world aud to luerawNs with maturer judgment tbe trvclltiAtlons of her own heart. There'll be trouble between them two boys souiu dav on account of that idrl, is what the older and move observant ueigLbon said, but the trouble came in another way. Prank voted for Douglas it was Us first vut iu I860, and if George had had the aue right he would have exercised it in lue same way. Then came secession and the battles in lSftl, aud on tho worth bank of the Ohio men could be seen JrUliug, while every hour steamers aped up or down the river erowawi wkb uiue eiaa xoeo. xne coa ftervatlvee of Keutaeky advised neutrality, but the governor, while seeming to tall In whu una idea, was secretly nelpuut the cause of she Confederacy; and the young nun, dlsgusud with the cowardly attitude of the state, shouldereil their rifle and rode south to join Zollicotfer aud John aton or made their way across the Ohio a&d took service under the banner that existed through the valor of their fore father. Frank Btewart and his brother, after the first sad understanding, did not talk much about the war. Ine one in his quiet ear Mtftneae, and the other in his paaatonate ardor, stood on opposite aides of the ever widening chasm, destined to be deepened and reddened still mure by the heroic de votion of each to his aide.

Ihe IiorHcnum drew rein beside him. It was Georfco, lliotimoH here, r rank," said ueorce huskily, ok he sprang to the ground with tho rlflo at Jiw buck nnu laid his linmH on bis brother's shoulders. Frank did not ask for an explanation. He knew tlmt the dreaded hour had come and that his brother, whom ho loved bet ter than he did hi own life, was about to take sides with the cause that he bated. Ilave you told mother?" asked 1 rank. "Yes. God pity her, brother, for she needs bis comfort tonight; but I felt that 1 con.ld.not remain bnuk longer and be a man. I know how you feel, Frank, and I re spect you, but you arc steadier than I am or ever can be, ami you will care for her and the place till the war is over or you learn that I am not to come back. And Dora I have long kept tho secret to my self, but I felt tonight that I could not leave without opening my heart to her and telling her that I have longed loved her, but not as a brother." And what Aid she say. George?" asked Frank. 'She aUBwcred only with tears and sup plications forme to remain to remain and bo as happy as of old, but I feel that that can never be. lint for my sate, for her sake, Frank, I know you will care for her. And now, may nod have you ever in his keeping." I ueorge btewart threw Ms arms about his brother's neck, kissed him, then swung into the saddle and galloped away jn the direction of the south, The pouudingof tho Iron hoofs struck onFrauk'a heart and held him there In agony till they died out in n faint echo across tho moonlit hills; then he went home, fueling that again tho shadow of death had fallen on its portals. With o tun appreciation or the futility of his efforts, Frank tried to cheer his mother and Dura, nnd with more energy and care, If that were jiosslble, he gave him self up to the duties of the farm. ftow and then, through the underground, mail, a letter full of love came through from George, and replies were sent through tho same medium. At length, it was in the summer of 1862, there came a day when the Confederate cavalry wero sweeping north to the Ohio, making fugitives or re cruits of all the men capable of beating arms along their line of march, "Mother," said Frank, as one evening ho sat between her nnd Dora out he side piazza that commanded a splendid view of the broad liver, "I have always said that I would never leave you and Dora till the ConfedeiatM forced ine to fly, and that then I would take Msrvlee with the Union, John Morgan's troopvrs are only five hours away. Tomorrow morning they will water their horses down there. Our neighbors know my feelings. You will be safer if I am away, so i will gn, leaving you to God." Mrs. Stewart was not unptepaied for this, yet her beaitwa pierced avwith n dagger and she bowed her head fn her hond. A aiiM) of loj ulty to his brother had kept Frank from telling Dora cf hU love, and up to this moment her prefereni o had been concealed, but now she tried to rise and reach out to liiui her restraining arms, but tottered in tho effort, and with u cry of agony on ber white lips fell at his feet like one dead. The next day Morgan's gray horsemen were down hytfi river, and Frank Stewart was tnnaU'red into the service of the Uniun. Ami now, no matter which side lot cr won. there w.i no rejoicing in the hearts of thesw two M'omtm. They drow apart from the world, but this only intensified their interest In theter j-ihle i unlet t. The Vnloti people were still rejoking over the victory at Missionary Judge, wheu-ono day a message came to Mrs. btewart from aaahvuie. it earn "Your sou George, who fell into our bawl ueepcratciy wounaeu before uiiatta nooga, is here aud wiakea to see you." The widow ami Dora knew what that meant. They hurried to 1-ouisHIle, re celved passe and took the cars for Nash Till. They found the hospital, and the doctor who had sent the message led them to a cot on which lay a man bronsed a&d beard' ed. The hue of death was on the face, and the quick rise and fall of the broad breast told that toe end was near. And George Stewart heard moaning aud felt the touch of hot lipaou hie cold eneeke, and opening ids gtaatng eyes ue saw Kneel ing, on either nidi" of the cot, his mother and Dora. "God blaesyou for cowioxe!" beoaened, He was dead within tho hour, and his hut words were: "Tell brother I love him and bless him with my dying breath!" "GOU DLKBS VOL' Kuli I uUIM.. III.

And the neighbors, Confederate aud Union, gathered again, and they burled the Union soldier beside his Confederate brother, nor saw any difference in the graves of "the widow's boys."

The Volunteer has said it, anent the grand encampment for 1803: 1 Almost every prominent G, A. U. post in tho country is making arrangements to at tend the national encampment to bo held In Washington next September. No city In America has so many attractions for the Union vcteraus as Washington. Ii was the central point from which all the or ders for putting down the great rebellion Issued, and many of the most important battles weie fought within a shortdistance of the capital. Probably one-half of all the soldiers enlisted in the Union army either camped in the vicinity or at some time passed through its wide streets. On the C3d day of May, 1865, the Army of the Potomac, commanded by General Meade, and the day following the portion of the western army that had marched from Atlanta to the sea, commanded by General Sherman, not less than 150,000 nil told, passed In review on the streets of Washington, Twenty-seven years have passed since then, but still there arc many survivors who will make an effort, yea, sacrifices, to be present nt what is likely to be tho greatest gathering of tho soldiers since tho war.

Somo even of the few national holidays of so young a country as ours bare already begun to lose their interest for the people, and their celebration has grown to be more or le perfunctory. But our latest holi day, known as Memorial or IWoratlou Day, promises to appeal more and more to our compatrioU, to have a wider and deeper significance us the years go on. Until re cently it was observed by the north ami south In a sectional way, thus keeping up the old sentiments and feelings enkindled and strengthened by the civil war. But so rapidly have prejudice and pas sion cooled that now the former enemies often join in paying tribute to the honored dead, ao setttig an example of mutual ap preciation ' d magnanimity, hardly to bare been a tected so soon, that has sel dom been equaled in older govern merit a To forget fn twenty years the old aolmosi Ue that had been gathering and strength ening for seventy yearn is the heat evidence of the humanity, undaratandiag and sym pathy engendered by the institutions of a great duocracy. Our victory over our selves is fsr more glorious than any we have gained over our enemies The Old World abounded in prediction daring our civil war that whatever its outcome the north and snntfa would never be at peace, that with no -Statural bounda ries, no. walls of reparation, we should be continually trepasaing on each other's territory and incurring new cause of dbv twnsiOB. Tn prediction were plausible certaittly. But many of those who took part in the strife, and are still tn middle age, have seen iU wounds healed and a&eiant foe oonvrtd Into firm friend and pottttcal brothec. The union tby hay cAftttd Yttb JktekJWtftfBft: fill m bly stronger f un the ronfeaerntion rormea by their forefathers. And at each return of Memorial Day the bonds ore renewed with freali sympathy and added esteem. Our war instead of imbltteriug us has mollified us, has enabled us to see each other without hlna in the clear light of truth. The difference between the section was caused by slavery, and slavery le for ever extinct. The political education ol the north and south had lterndlversc.andtheb moral Ideas were to an extent the result thereof. Politically they were both right and now they have the same moral point of view, which they con hi not have had be fore. Memorial Day Is, in the strictest sense national, and tho most conducive of all our holidays to preserve our nationality Its value nnd its beauty cun scarcely be over estimated. It recalls the patriotic past, and assure the patriotic future It la evi dence of what we have done and promise of what we would do In like emergency It is at once an example and a warning, a triumph and a consecration. The ofteuer we celebrate the day, the more important and precious it should be In the next century it should assume a character al most sacred. We are yet too near the war to perceive its vnst proportions and enor raous consequence. We still lack the per spectlve for its proper apprehension. Has any other country such a holiday Other countries commemorate their victo ries. But we commemorate victory on one side and defeat on the other, and be ing tho same people we regard the defeat as a victory, since it has led to a consoli dation of our common heritage and our common Interests. latterly, too, we com memorate our reconcilation, which, great er than any feat of arms or skill of strat egy, attests tho advance and superiority of free institutions. It Is hard to conceive a higher moral spectacle than the day exhibits. In the north and in the south, where the Union ists and Confederates are buried, their graves are strewn with flowers alike, and equal honors are paid to their memory Eulogies are pronounced by northern men on southern soldiers, nnd by southern men on northern soldiers. The past, with all its blood and sacrifice, is forgiven, If not forgotten, in a grand spirit of generosity and all embracing patriotism. The heroes of a generation, passive, if not already past, praise and revere the heroes who gave their lives to a cause which was sacred to them, and which can never arise again, to Separate and make hostile a brave, chivalrous and enlightened people A war that can produce such results must have been n conscientious war, nnd must have been conducted on patriotic prin ciples, It baa no parallel in history. It is a proof of civilization; it is an indelible record of a new nnd most encouraging era which could not havo been reached lefore the present century. Wars generally, as has been often said, leave tho nations engaged in them In far worse condition than they were at the out set. Our war was an exception. It was more than war for an idea; it was for a conviction, and In tho interest of progress and morality. It left ns, after the sacri fice of a million Uvea and incalculable treasure, infinitely better off In every way The treasure has Ien repaid fourfold, and the lives lost have entered into the national life, enlarging, purifying and elevating it beyond estimation. Not one of all the men who died has died in vain, which is always the best recompense for death, and one very rarely secured. With such feeings as these we, of the north and south, observe and revere the day. It touches us to our depths and fills our souls with a mingled sentiment of sor row and rejoicing sorrow for what has gone; rejoicing for what has come and will remain. Tho day can never become com monplace or indifferent It commemorates the true birth of our common country and the apparent perpetuity of its redeemed existence. In the next century and tho next it prom ises to be more Impressive and stimulating than it Is to us, whoso fathers, brothers and sons are sleeping in tho graves of a hun dred battlefields. Our posterity will be sere to honor it aud Idealize it, as all de voted men and great deeds are apt to be Idealized, and to follow the processions that decorate the mounds amid muffled drums, with hushed roices and tender hearts. Memorial Day bids fair to keep green, through unnumbered years, the memory of the truly heroic struggles and sacrifices tlmt havo constituted us Amer icans of America.

Here is a good illustration of the fact that the boys didn't put off their kind ly human nature when they put on Uncle Barn's warlike blue: One evening toward the clone of the war, white Union soldiers lay f u camp ou a hill side near the Staunton river, Virginia, the cry of "Halt! who goes there"' from a sen tinel startled every lounger to his feet, and several of the more curious rau to the guard line to And out what the trouble was. A minute later all knew that the nlgbt visitor who had been challenged was no enemy A little girl about ten years of age, holding a white kitten in her arms, came forward into the light of the fires, conducted by two soldiers who had told the guard to pass her in, and who looked an proud as if they were escorting a queen. The whole regiment gathered- including the colonel himself to look nt the child and hear her tell her story. A very short story it was, scarcely a paragraph, but thero was matter enough in it for a full chapter. She lived near hy wh her father, who was sick and poor, and thev were "WAMTMJ TO OITE SOMKTUIKU,M northerners, aba said, and "Uuioa folk" Her mothf r was dead and her brother had been killed while fighting in the Federal array. She "wanted to give something," and when the Union soldier-- came she thought she would bring her pet kitten and present it to the colonel The colonel took the little girl In his arms ami kissed her, and the kitten too, and said he was not a bit ashamed of his weakness. He accepted the kitun with thanks, and its innocent donor was gal lantly waited ou to her humble home, loaded with generous contributions The white kitten was adopted b the regiment, but considered the property and special pet of the colonel, and when the war was over- he took it home with him Like the white lamb that staid and fed with the victor after the battle of Antie tarn, that liule creature, during its short but stirring a pny life, was a dally inspira tion to I tetter feeling and thoughts in the pretence of all that is worst -a bring flag of truce gleaming among the thunder clouds of human passion and strife liar per1 Young People. llowL&ol, Still lo Favor.
