OBE'S OBSERVATIONS.
What lie Sees ami llenrs During Ills
Travels.
This is tho season of tho year when tho
farmors aro In search of manuro and tho
nasty bins on the alleys aro being drawn
upon for a supply. Now that tho bins aro
emptied it is time for tho Borough Council to
insist that tho owners who aro encroaching
upon tho public highways to removo tho
framowork and lcavo clear the passageways
as required by tho ordinances. Heretofore a
feeling of sympathy seems to havo controlled
tho authorities, becauso tho ownors of tlio
bins havo argued that tlieir contents wero
vnluable aud thero wero no means by which
thoy could bo disposed of without loss.
Manuro bins on alloys aro mere storehouses.
Thoy aro claimed by tho ownors to bo mero
conveniences, but It is a well known fact that
thoy frequently, almost Invariably, result in
a gain for tho ownors. Tho ordinances pro
vide that thero shall bo footways in all streets
and alleys of tho town and I hope tho
members of tho Borough Co!!!!?U "ill seo
that the ordinauco is enforced.
It is tho hero's reward that ho shall bo re
mcnibored. Memorial Day is no longer a
day of mourning. Tho generation whoso
hearts wore broken by tho horrors of tho
war has boon soothed by timo, and wheus
Decoration Day comos round it is prido nnd'
not tears that it arouses. Tho ceremony of
gratitudo which tho nation has decreed itth
heroes is a beautiful one. Onco every year,,
in May, tlio country iiauses in its hurry and
selfish plans, and, on tho day set apart;
thinks witJi gratitudo of thoso who fought
nnd died so bravely. We uy not beIlovo la
war, but wo cannot but respect tho men, ?"hQ
forgetful of self, died for an idea, and when
tho tiny flags wave in the spring winds, and
bright flowers proclaim to all, "hero lies a
hero," we feel that they who havo died for
us have won what is denied tlio great ma
jority tho boon of being uuforgotten.
Tho members and friends of tho Grand
Army of tho Bepublic are very activo in
tho making of preparations for the obser
vance of Memorial Day. It seems that as tho
ranks of tho sarvivors of tho Bobellion
diminish the stronger becomes tho apprecia
tion of tho public of tho sacred day. This, of
course, is glorious to tho veterans who still
live to help commemorate tho departure of
their comrados and certainly reflects credit
upon tho people. It savors of patriotism.

Tho object is plausible, but not wholly com
mendable. I understand that somo members
