Where else would the products of an humble kitchen garden be put to such artiscie use? And who but these patient Germans wound do it? No sooner is the Fest over than this labor of weeks is ruthlessly demolished. The amusements of the Volksfest :A unrivalled, in variety. A live American circus graced this one; perhaps I should' say. disgraced it. For competition between .it and the, entertainments "to the manner burn,'? rose to such a pitch that, the law interfered to crose ft until, by an appeal to the American Conant, this unwelcome restriction was -removed. Punch and .ludY are to be seen' here by the score; jugglers out juggliiig Senor Blitz; great whirli g igs filled with delighted children, booths, and stalls where anything can be bOught from-a tooth-pick to-a dressing gown: And above all, and through all and in all, mud, allele , deep, and noises suggesting pandemonium let loose. The:distinctive dress, worn by the' genuine "German peasant, quite cap tivated us. The accumulated isaVingi of years are often represented in the solid-silver buttons with which coat and vest arc ornamented. The fash ion of these garments, together with the buckskin pants and- broad-brim med hat that complete the costume, never varieth:' They often 'descend as a precious heir-loom from father to, son. The prize animals exhibited on the first day, anil whicilf are a sort of prelude to the races, are, perhaps, the most lively objects of interest In . the eonAolidated whole that goes 'to make up a Volkfcst.

'Near my hotel was a very large wharf. Year after year the ships had Come up to it, and had unloaded their cargoes. It was built at very great expense, and every person thoughtit entirely safe. Merchants often perinittol thousands of dollars' worth. of goods to remain on it over night. It was the eusti,m of the wharf •sumaintL,ntlent tO examine it every month. Now, - while I was there, the report was spread that some little inzeets,were eating away the wood.

Month after month passed, anti still these little creatures .ate away at the wharf. They did not seem to be. numerous, and but little) attention was paid to them. "One day,• as I was looking ont ,of my window, I heard a dreadful crash, and behold, the wholb immense Avharf had sunk into the sea..., Sixty Or seventy persons were killed, and an immense amount of property way: destroyed—all by the work of -these insects. 'Afterward it was found that they had been .taking fOr years ht the wood.

It is probably on that bad rule that the late President Li?ieton acted when he defeated an antago nist before a jury. The anecdote is thus told by Dr. Bateman: lie was oftt:n pitted against emi nent lawyers during trials -in the Sangamim County •Cireut Court. 'On one occasion he. ini - ns opposed to a. verY able 'advocate, who (made powerful, eloquent and Convincing speech to the inky. The gentleman, moreover, was a man who was very precise in his dress, as well as Man ner and orator v. But Mr. Lioclon had been observ ing him,sand saw a flaw in his_tisual ly faultless attire. " Gentlemen of the jury," said 'Old Abe ':when he muse to - sptl.ak, " the gentleman Who lets just spoken has, made a strong argument. lie has quoted the law and olden-et, and it. is not for Inc to say that he is wrong. Ile may be correct in all,he has said. But, r want .you to take a good look, at him. Look especially at the-Upper half, and then, gentleman, tell me if any .man. who (('lnes before you with his standing cellar buttoned ' wrong end to,' with the points sticking away out behind his cars -- may not he alto gether mistaken in his arguments." • - .The ,plan was successful. Mr. Lin clop had broken the spell which the oloquepce of his opponent had thrown ~tlyej• the jury. * • LOOK most to your spending. No matter what comes in, if more goes out you will always be poor, The art is not in making money but in keeping it; little expenses, like mice in a large barn;, when they arp many, Make great waste, flair by hair heads gets bald I straw by strew the thatch .goes - 01 the .cottege, drop by drop the rain eomee into the elem. ber.. A barrel is soon empty if the top leaks but a, drop a minute; when you 'mean to. save begin with your mouthy many things pass down the red lane. In all other things keep within compass. NeVer stretch your legs farther than the blankets Will stretch, or you will soon be cold. In clothes, choose suitible and lasting stuff, and nut tawdry finery. To be warm, is the main thing, never - mind the Icioka. , A fobl may make money, but it needs a wise man to spend it. Remember it is easier to build two chimneys than to keep. one going.

ADDRESS DELIVERED ON DECORATION DAY AT ULSTER, -MAY 30th, 1878--BY • REV. N. N. BEERS. Soldiers and Felbiw-Ciliz:ene To-day 'forty millions of people, either personally or by representative assem blies, will do honor to the memory of their brave defenders who fell in rile late eryil - war. This is just as it Should be. All civilized nations, especially Chr i stian u Ohms, have ever held in gratefurmem ory their fallen braves, and have delight ed to do them tronor. Not to regard our soldiers thus ; Loth Being and dead; and not to ,honar tire foilea by appropriate ceremonies, would be in contravention of the suggestions of- Christian. Not that whe is an element of Christian civilisation ;it ceriahily is not. A resort to beligerent force to settle dillitulties be tween nations or individuals is repugnant to the Principles of Messiah's kingdom. The inauguration of th.,t kingdom on earth .was accompanied on earth by a proclathation by angelic heralds of "Pea - ee on earth. and good will toward men." In time good time coming,. which the phropimets in vision saw, -whew "Christ shall reign from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth ;" when the benign and peaceful principle's of His kingdoM filia4 be universally ceived, and all hearts shall be swayed by them, the nations shall " Learn ear her more ;" "They shall beat their swords into ploughshares and their; spears into pruniirg hooks," and "There shall be tutting, to hurt or dotroy in all God's' holy mountain." But as the world now is, beligerent forces are often arrayed against,non-beligerent, against those who would be glad to be at peace. Tn that case it would he in harmony With the Principles of Christ's kingdom, as our lase and only resort, to defend our life-and lib erty by opposing force with force. [t i the assassin should cuter-my dWelling and at tempt to murder myself and ramify, it would riot only be,rifkr.t 'but myilety to resort to phYsieal force, even to the taking bf iffe, if necessary, in order to prevent' the execution of his murderous designs.. This was precisely the attituee of oar wi thin in the late civil war. ;We marshaled our forces, not forcomprest, not for mill-. tary glory, . but to defend time life of the nation, which was threatened, and to pre serve. our imperiled liberti . es.' We come, tbcrefOrs. to-day, not to do homage to military heroes as such, to men who have W - on our admiration by deeds of chivalry and prowess in arms, merely ;' we come to honer the LI ril re ; and the memory of time men who saved the life of (my nation by.lhe sacrifice of themselves. Our sol diers were indeed military li r broes,—many I of them entitled to first rani' as'sneb, for their hold and daring deeds. But they wore more ; they were patriots, who left their lrin and fought and strife - red and died in defence of their. country. There are three considerations that roe. 'der the memory of our fallen heroes pre cious to Os First, the spim it and motives that actuated them nm going into the field of conflict ; .second, the sacredness of the cause fen which they suffered ; and third, iu very many eases the severity of their ISuflerings. 1 As we have said, they were patriots: They were athlete(' by love of country to imperil the r lives for its defence ; a mo tive immeasurahly Tu leer tt,ap mere am bition for Militarya,lory. in the course of 'emir remarks we shall refer to the suf ferings, of our soldiers; but we now ask your attention to the eanee for which they suffered. No holier cause ever marshaled a military force for its defence than the cause of our country in the late war. I ' Many of the wars that have devastated the world have originated in an unbal lowed ambition-for fame, and have been' prosecuted for Conquest and military glo ry. Such were the wars of : Alexander of Maperlon i Whose towering ambition was such that, after• eouqueriog all the nations 1 Or the (ilviiifed woad, ho wopt, it Is said, bites la 6 there Wtmlam PO Meet to confiner, Anti history recoil - 1s that thlg aama ambi , -Uinta Alexander died froni UK! Whets of drunken debauch at the age of 82 yeti* It 'would buve been a grand thing for him if be had turned his thoughts towards the kingdoni of his own heart and conquered that. Of the same character were.the' wars of Napoleon, the haughty military chieftan of France. But God does not smile upon such anibition. Napoleon the Conqueror, was defeated by Wellington in the battle of Waterloo, and died at-last a lonely , e:aile•ou the- barren, rocky irland. of St. Helena. • DefenSive.wars on the part of beleagrir ed nations are conceded to be, and doubt less are, pairiotir and right: All the bet. : .ter feelings of our reiture . lreconme enlisted fur such a people struggling At r th e i r own defence. Who can help admiring the he roic Spartans in the narrow' pass of Thor mopylte, resisting with wonderful slaugh ter the overwhelming forces of the invad-, hag ; Persian army under the command -of Xerxes?. The invading army consisted of 1,700,000 foOt and 80,000 horses, while the little hand of Spartans tinder com mend of Leonidas numbered less than 6;- 000; jßeforethe battle Xerxes sent mes sengers requesting them to lay down their armss .their heroic answer was, "Let Xerxes come and take them." Though but a mere handful. in comparison, and overpowered at last by superior, numbers, Yet 'they fought with 'Buell wonderful bravery. that - 20,000 of : the, enemy were fotind deld - on the field. They fought in defence of their country, and their cause was just, but it was not equal to ours. Theirs was a heathen country, OW insti : hitters weto heethers their, civilization ahcl their liberties were not equal to ours, butebilly - such as are foetid in heathen -lands; i Our.: (alien heroes fought for the defence of a - Christian nation with its Christian institutions. They fought and suffered and suffered awl died in defence 'of' Christian - - altars, - Christian, schools, •Christian - homes; and Christian liberties. 'The cause of the - QS - modem in-their - wars to tecover the ! SepUleher of the Sevier fro the hands.Of the Mohamedan Turks Leant no comparison with the sacredness of. ours. It matters but little who may .. possess the spot of earth 'where the body • of the Savior rested only for the shoet space of a port' of three days, provided any one knew or . could determine where Ithat spot whe. But our Christian iustitu ', tione, so pure, -so good, arc valuable Le yond all price, embracing everything that is dear to us on earth ; :Ind furthermore, as We believe, 1 hey are destined to. become o 'beacon light to other nations, lighting them up the pathway of Christian mill zstiou te higher and sena . r national and ' , individual life than they have ever known. 'We :teed:only to look aro u nd us to see the fruits of our influence on the nations. In every land where the light of-our Chris tianity has penetrated the darkues, the people are reaching up and longing for the higher manhood Which it .reveals for them.. • . . I. A Vast amount of.

I will present another fact of the same character.-It may not be generally known that the goveanment of China has sent to this country more than a hundred picked young men ,to be educated at the cost. of the empire. fOr the public service.

The Grecian States were involved in meny and severe wars, civil and foreign, in the-defence of' their liberties, including the terrible 'sac rifice . at the ,renowned ' Thermopylaie. Rome had her baptisms.of blood in the shape of repeated • foreign wars ami two civil war.s• of serious extent, besides the assassination of her Julius Caesar to her own ;Senate Chamber. All the modern nations or Europe have struggled into ex istence, and attained whatever of conse quence they possess in the same way. Wa have had our wars, end we may have oth,. ers in the time- to come, for we arecom . . . paratively young as a nation.

And a part of our baptism of Ward in the terrible strife was the ass a: sinatiun of our greater than Julius Ca!sar, 'our own immortal Lincoln. If we would knoW the cost of our bles 7 t;cd eoantry, the ;fairest, sweetest land en earth; if we' would know the cost of our institutions, the best. that the sun in the heaveits ever shinvn upon; if we would know yvkitt our libertiei; and free, institu' Lions Lave coat, we must malize something of the unutlirabla WiFrings involved in the poseention of these wars. The sac-. rifles of inero money treasure does not express it. We can easily take our pencil and figure up the millions of money that our last war cost; We have it already fig ured - cut and recorded on the archives of the nation,—three hundred 'mfflions of dot. tare!:.A. vast sum; indeed, but this is WI an insignificant item in the account. Who shall figure of the value of Iheim mense Sacrifice of human suffering. and human life? No 'man can do it ; there a no :iritlinietic known to man 'that can ex press it. If we .would realize something of it, we must go - and witness the.carnage on a 'thousand 'battle-fields: and number the drat and dying'; we must go,into the hospitals and watch the surgeon as he re moves the mangled limbs and dresses-the ghastly - wounds ; we must take account cif the malaria of the camps and the pre valence of fevers that come-of exposures and hardships, and the mortality resnlir • ing, Then we must -go into Rebel pri sons, those inexcusable,, heufhenish hells of torture, vib'erii so many of our'noble boys died with, all the horrors incident to star vation and insufficient clothing. The 1 acts in regard to their terrible treatment and Sufferings have eome to us from dif ferent reliable sources, and they have been detailed 'to ns bythoseWho experi ‘enced-thent; so we cannot doubt if we would. During the last, - year of the Rebellion, while traveling in the cars at one time, I foll in company with a nriori soldier by' tire name of T. T. Whitcomb, a sergeant in the Gth 3lichir,,Pan Cavalry. He had 'been a prisoner at Andersonvilie, but was one of the fortunate ones who had been exchanged- and - was borne on a furlough recruiting his health. Sergeant Whitcomb gave me,a detailed account of the treat-, meet and sufferings of the Union soldiers. The seizreity and .the clotrecter of -their food was dreadful. What little they were allowed to have some of the timeeonsiSt ed of corn ground with the cots ; at other , times it - consisted, of spoiled, and magoty meat. They were almost entirely without clothing,- and were entirelywithout beds; they were obliged to lie down at night on the damp ground without even a blanket under them, and with, nothing to cover thetn, 7 —and ,the nights 'n that Southern clime are often very dale and chilly, es pecially near the sea coast,. as my own ex perience has veritic,d. Some years before. the breaking out of the war I spent some fiVe:rnotiths on- St. Ijellena Island,, near Beaufort and .Port Royat I found the nights exceedingly damp and chilly, Mid death-dealing to Northeness not accus , - tomed to:that climate. Think of the-half naked soldiers lying night after night. fin months on the damp ground, with nothing Under or over them, in such a climate as that. To protect the,ne-vlves as well as they could, several hundrets woI down in a van close .together, faArion ; in Ibis way they could otter preserve the.warmth in their bodies; and whin they became Weary of. one position, or chill s ed on one side,'they woukl all.turn over and face the other way.

We observe these oeremo *nieS to-day in honored' our fallen _heroes. Some of their graves are with -us, and we have come to decorate them with flowers. Why do we decorate with flowers? What is the significance, of this ceremony ? -As far back as history throws any light on the question, we find that civilized nations have regarded floivers as speaking a va ried language,. and 'have used them as symbols of Various import, in their re ligbi.us and other ceremonies. In oriental countries the heads of _animals intended. :fdr sacrifice, were often decoratsd 'with• floWers---perhaps to signify their fitness - for the offering.- The old Greeks and Ro manS. twined garlands of flowers as em blems of honor and esteem to coronatel the brows of conquerors, and of those who won in the Olympic races. We- env ploy flowers in this service with the-same signification. Flowers are, moreover, em= blems of lore. Wd often present them to our friends as tokens of ourlove forthein, - They are emblems of ;mortality; so used in the Bible. "As a flower of the field; man. tiourisheth. The wind par:. th over it and it is gone." Flowers aro also emblems of the resisrrection and 'of - immortality. When the dreary reign of winter is over, and the .„beatitiftil• spring time visits our world,-the flowers, under the vivifying rays of the sun, have a res urrection from graves, into new life and. beauty. So, ander. the genial rays of the -Sun of Righteousness, the myriads of hu-- man sleepers shall rife from their dusty beds into new and beizytiful forms' of im mortal and blissful life..
