Gallagher and his estim- j able wife. It is the gloom which ; death, stern and pitiless, casts be- j times upon life's brightest scenes ; when love's sacred ties are rudely severed at one fell stroke, and the fond heart's blossoming hope is blighted by the chill breath of a pass-: ing night. When death comes to ! the aged, our grief is assuaged by j the knowledge that they have lived j ; the allotcd time of man, have tasted of life's joys and sorrows so deeply l perhaps that to most of them death comes as a welcome release. But when death touches the young, when | the child is taken from the loving | father and mother, how cruel seems j j the separation. When the little j I gems of intellect are the object of; much care, once gone, most idle must | seem the mother's moments; her fleeting minutes changed to lagging '■ hours, hours full of grief and sadness. | The husband no longer at evening ! he returns from toil is greeted by a j laughing cherub who begs with! glancing eloquents to be lifted to his favorite place—his father's shoulder. ' There is a midst of thick darkness. ! Life tasts bitter. Ever to be remind ed of him by the brave buds of spring, the early summer sky, into whose blue depths the grieved ones look and wonder where beyond has his young spirit found a resting place. Surely he is one of those who j "shall hunger no more, neither thurst: any more; for the Lamb which is in ; the midst of the throne shall be their shepherd and guide them into foun tains of waters of life." Card of Thanks. Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Gallagher wish j to tender their heart-felt thanks to j all for the assistance and kindness j shown to them in their sad affliction.; Sonestown. , Mrs. Jas.

Headquarter* Dcpnrtmentof Peiinsylvanlft.OrMid Army of the Hi*public, l'hiludilphitt,April 5,'» W. I. Tin tliiny-thr«-e years since the title it ml i In- s-.lnv were < I isj .1 jice< 1 l»v the j hammer anil the plough; thirty-three ! years since the uniform of blue wax ex changed Cor the habiliments of peace; thirty-three years of achievements that impress the truism. '"Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war." Monuments have been reared to our heroes and to their heroic deeds, some casting shadows on placid waters, others standing above mountain tops; "but , neither classic bust, nor monumental : marble, nor lofty cenotayb, nor stately urn, nor enduring bronze, nor everlasting gsanite, can add to the glory of our dead comrades in this land they loved so well. 1 Again we are approaching Memorial Day, again with fragrant flowers, sweet music and patriotic eloquence, shall we stand by the side of the graves of our comrades and pay to them the tribute of our heart's attection—of our loving re memberanue of their gallant deeds—and over the little green mounds, which are I now their bivouacs, renew our devotion to ' their memories and to the for which I they battled. Loving handd shall place the ever green and the rose, the lily and the violet, on the hillocks of green which mark the resting-places of our soldier and sailor dead, sweet voices shall sing their praises i and fervent hearts shall teach eloguerit ! tongues to reverentially voice gems of | thought in memory of our heroes gone, j Our Memorial Day is not a day for : sack-cloth and ashes; it is not a day lor i mourning or for fasting, nor should it be a ; day devoted by any patriotic American to frivolous festivitfes or to holiday pas times. It is a day for the flag, tor llowers for music, for patriotism, a day for com muning with the dead who died that the Nation might live, for the dead who ■ offered all that they had that "this Nation , might not perish from off the earth. 1 ' Let all the people gather spring-time's brightest garlands to decorate our heroes graves; not one shall be forgotten. In twining wreaths on monuments to leaders we pay a tribute to those who were led; a rose-bud on the grave of private soldier or sailor symbolizes our love for the memory of all who wore the Union blue whether on land or on sea; whether they sleep their last sleep amid tablets of marble or | of bronze or found their final resting-place beneath the waters of our rivers and seas. "The meaneitrlll, the mightiest river Ho., i.m cling with their fame forever." 2 If arrangements have not already j been made for attendance of Posts at ; Device Service on Sunday, May 29th, i they should be perfected at once. This |is one of the essential features of our Memorial Services'and churches of all denomination*, will gladly aid in your j participation in the worship of God. 3 It is recommended that where feasi ble, Posts will arrange with the I'astors of the churches at which this part of tin service is held, to select texts illustrative ol "The gains to American citizenship l«v the success of the Union soldier" and j "The unquestioned and everlasting right !of the cause ot those who battled for the j Union." : 4. The success attending the visits to the public schools by the comrades on the school-day next preceding May 30th has been so great that the continuance of the custom is urged. Tell the children in | your own way what the old llag represents, | how it was followed in suffering danger ' and death; how it was brought back with ! not a star missiog and with freedom lor all emblazoned on its stripes. Impress love of country and the duties and bless :of American citizenship; what it cost to preserve it for them and for those who | shall follow them. Tell the school children of our Memorial Day, and what : it means, and the future men and women iof America, with the object lesson of j patriotic teaclfrng from the lips of living ; men who bore their part gallantly on ' battlefields, will remember them while | memory lasts, and they will learn too j what patriotism means. 1 5. Interest your neighbors in Memor ial Day, whether they be soldiers or non | soldiers. Make a place for organizations jto be with you. Though a Post be num i erically small it can make its ceremonies and its services on Memorial Day so in i teresting that men, women and children , ! will want to participate in paying homage ! | to our dead comrades. 1 6. In localities where there is more i than one Post arrangements will be mafle ' by thetn for a division of the work. This ; can best be accomplished by the officers i or committees. | 7. It is again directed that May 30th is Memorial, Day, not decoration day. The latter term is one applied by those | who seek to devert the day to games, races, etc. The only authoritative Grand Array designation is Memorial Day and it is urged that the newspapers, the public ami all comrades give emphasis to this on every occasion.
