Let every patriotic citizen give this after
noon to a recognition of the great service
rendered the Nation by our brave defenders
m the late war. While honoring the living,
let us not forget the fallen, but
"Let fairv hands to-day
Scatter the flowers of May,
And fairy footsteps round their ashes fall."
KEEP THE BIRTH-DAYS.- It is pleasant to
observe a growing disposition in this country
to keep the birth-days. Such anniversaries
are especially enjoyable to older people. It
is a mark of esteem and reverence which
gladdens the hearts of parents to have their
children gather once a year in honor of this
important epoch in the lives of all.
This theme was suggested by meeting at
the station Saturday morning our excellent
friend C. A. STOWELL of Wyalusing, and his
good wife, who were on their way to Elmira
to join with Mr. S.'s two brothers and their
wives, in a surprise visit to their aged moth
er, who reached her 69th year on that day.—
TOWANDA, PA., MONDAY, MAY 30, ISBI.
Having had the honor ef a friendly acquaint
ance with the family for the past twenty
years, we take the liberty of referring to the
event and giving our readers an item or two
from their history.
Twenty-five years ago the STOWKLLS moved
from Smithboro, N. Y., to Wilmot, where
they embarked largely in the lumbering busi
ness, to which was added general merchan
dise and f; rming. The father, the late JOSIAII
STOWF.LL, who died a few years since, was a
man of remarkable business tact and his sons
were trained up in correct business habits,
which not only fitted them for usefulness in
life, but rendered them valuable assistants at
home. A spirit of enterprise marked their
undertakings, and thrift and improvement
crowned their labors. It is hardly necessary
to add that the wife and mother, who is a
woman of great force of character, did her
share of tlie work well, and now in her de
clining years is most affectionately cared for
by her children, who recognize the debt of
filial love they owe a prudent, industrious,
christian mother. Like that noble Roman
matron who was asked to display her jewels,
she can with commendable pride point to her
sons and say " these are my jewels."
Mrs. STOWELL'S home is with her son CAL
in Wyalusing, but she is at present paying a
visit to another son—l). B.—who is engaged
in a prosperous business in Elmira, The
third—C. S.—is a highly esteemed citizen of
Smithboro, the former home of the family.—
We most heartily congratulate Mrs. STOWELL
011 the happy event, coupled with the unfeign
ed wish that she may live to bless her family
and enjoy many more pleasant birth-days,
surrounded by those who love her.
