Out from the long past comes the
memory of a nameless soldier grave
and of a heart that broke because her
love was not. Out from the past come
the shadows of numberless unknown
and named heroes, who gave their all
of life to perpetuate the union. In
the trying times of strife and carnage,
when cannons belched and muskets
(lashed death everywhere, little mounds
of earth sprang up in rows here and
there In the southland. The memory
of these known anduuknown dead sug
gested the beautiful custom of deco- ■
rating the graves with the choicest
| flowers of spring, the practice pro
claiming to the children and children's
! children forever that the deeds of these
j men who died for God and country
shall bo memorialized as long as cour
; age rates as a virtue.
! As time passed members of the army
of veterans who returned to their
homes dropped out of life, so that now,
besides the great national burial places
in the south, every cemetery of the
north is hallowed by the presence of
sleeping soldiers. Wherever these
heroes lie flowers are taken at each re
curring anniversary and placed as vo
' tive gifts upon every sacred altar
' grave of liberty. History tells of sky
piercing monoliths, of colossal statues
and artistic mausoleums erected to the
memory of great captains of conquering
armies, while thought—if thought
there was at all—of the hosts of com
mon soldiers who poured out their life
bl jod for the glory of these chieftains,
was as a flitting fancy at eventide, ban
ished with its birth. It remained
for the American people, who govern
for themselves and arc alone supremo,
to declare that the humblest life sacri
ficed in the cause of freedom is as
sacred as the penatcs of the household
—as priceless as that of the general
who bared his breast to death-dealing
bullets.
The problem of human government
must be sought to be solved by each
successive generation. Blessed is that
one which throws such added light that
the next one may discern with clearer
vision the working- ff the till-to-be
solved question. The errors of a peo
ple their iliseulitcnt and mistakes)
may sorely try the safety as well us the
perpetuity of a government. The labors,
the pains and the sorrows of the soldier
army must ever serve as warning, as
entreaty, us encouragement and as
strength to the living and their succes
sors. Each returning Decoration day
teaches the lesson of the pricelessness
of liberty and union.
For the soldiers who sloop and the
cause for which they died the wooded
dells arc searched, the broad fields are
scanned and cultivated gardens are
stripped of their choicest gifts. Hail
the nation that honors its defenders,
dead and living, and let Decoration day
be and abide forever, a holy day in the
nation. Time lias softened the asperi
ties of other days; the opposing pas
sions of men, whose differences were
based upon honest conclusions, have
been subdued into respect and admira
tion for the courage that stamped the
action of each in the trying times of
infinite peril, and a common country is
the heritage of all. The custom of
decorating the graves is in no sense an
awakener of strife, but a sublime trib
ute to exalted worth.
Tbe once ensanguined fields of the
south are now being turned over by
bright plowshares, and will presently
yield fair harvests to the peaceful
workers; the voices of the mockingbird
and brown thrush fill with melody
the groves through which once passed
hostile armies. The sound of war is
heard no more in the land, and may the
memories and lessons of Decoration day
preserve an everlasting peace to the
nation. The one great baptism of
blood should be efficient to the per
petual sealing of the republic in peace
and harmony throughout the length
ami breadth of the land.
BARNEY JENNINGS' CHARGE.
Carney Jennings lived a very un
eventful life in his Carolina home until
the breaking out of the late civil war.
Ilis opportunities were very few, and
ho had not availed himself of those he
might have seized, lie was a shiftless,
harmless, happy-go-lucky fellow, with
abundance of leisure and little or no
cash.
When he offered his services as a sol
dier in the southern army the captain
was averse to accepting him because of
his unsavory reputation, and only
yielded after most urgent entreaty on
the part of the ne'er-do-weel. Harney
served in the army of the Potomac, or
James, participating in the leading
battles und winning an enviable name
as a fighter. Had he been able to read
or write he would have been given a
commission.
Alas! at Chancellorsville poor Jen
nings had ids left leg shot away, and
his soldier days ended, much to his dis
gust and discomfiture. Returning
home, he hobbled about on a "peg-leg,"
surrendering himself to whisky drink
ing and fighting over again his battles,
under the "stoops" of the village stores
or before the tall bars of the saloons.

IIIH LAST THIBUTK.
Whatever scruples he may have had
before the war as to accepting charity,
he now felt himself a proper wurd of
the community. Poor fellow! bis ap
petite for liquor grew stronger every
day, and he soon passed into a state of
nearly continuous inebriety. His heart
nearly broke when tidings came from
Appomattox; but, like a brave soldier,
he accepted the issues of battle, say
ing. "The feller wot lams yer is jester
fied in hol'iii' on along's his hilt do'n'
slip."
Before Harney fought at Chancellors
ville there hud been a battle near his
native village, and in the little ceme
tery were graves of union as well as
confederate soldiers who had fallen in
that contest. Those of the former were
in a group in a deserted and neglected
corner of the burial ground, and when
the beautiful custom was inaugurated
of decorating with flowers the sleeping
places of the heroes Harney was great
ly distressed because the programme
did not include those of former foomen.
"They mought er been wrong," be
persisted, "in pilln* down onter us, but
they fit p'intedly, 'n' I reckon they'd
wives 'n' mammies that cried over 'em."
Hut Harney was a trifle ahead of his
neighbors in spirit of amity. The day
came, when a wealth of flowers was
spread over each southern soldier's
grave, while no thought was bestowed
upon those that wore concealed by
weeds, beneath the scraggy oaks and
elms. When the speeches and hymns
were over a party of young people
strayed down in the union quarter, and
their astonishment was great when
they saw that every grave was covered
generously with wild flowers. Near by
they saw Harney extended upon weeds
his bloated body hud broken by its
weight.
The touching tribute was Harney's
Inst act upon earth; for he never awoke
from the sleep Into which he had fallen,
lie died beside the graves of former
enemies, whose courage had inspired
his praiseworthy action.
When the next anniversary clay came
loving hearts recalled Harney's charge
over in the deserted corner, and since
that time no distinction has been made
in that little cemetery between tbe
tiuiou and the confederate dead.
HISTORY OF THE DAY.
Tin' custom of decorating with fra
grant spring flowers tie. graves of !
parted friends in an old one, but the
observance of Decoration day as it is
understood to-day is shrouded in some
mystery, in spite of the fact that the
significant national rite is not yet thirty
years old. Towns innumerable, both
in tho north and in the south, lay
claim to having originated the day.
After sifting, with perfect impartiali
ty, all the testimony relating to the
important subject, the best authorities
are inclined to accord to Mrs. Charles
J. Williams, of Columbus, (ia., tho
honor of being the mother of Decora
tion day.
But before speaking at length of this
noble southern woman, who saw in
"Memorial day" a grand opportunity
to reunite tho surviving heroes of the
struggle between north and south, it.
might be well to state that the decora
tion of soldicru' graves did not become
n really national custom until 1808, in
which year, under date of May 5, Gen.
John A. Logan, commander in chief of
the Grand Army of the Republic, is
sued a general order from which wo
quote:
"The 30th day of May Is CTCslk'natod for tho
purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise
decorating tho graves of comrades who died
In defense of their country during tho late re
bellion, and whoso bodies now lie in almost
every city, village and hainlet churchyard in
the land. In this observanco no form of coro
niony is prescribed, but posts and comrades
will In their own way arrango such llttlng
services and testimonials of respect us cir
cumstances may permit."
When Gen. Logan issued this order
he had no idea that, young aud old,
OEN. JOIIN A. I.OOAN.
soldier and civilian, would respond to
his simple appeal with patriotic en
thusiasm and that Decoration day
would become one of the established
holidays oV the nation. And there is no
reason to believe that the beautiful cus
tom will ever cease to bo observed. If
there were, the Americans of the future
need but recall these words of gallant
John A. Logan to remind them of the
duty they owe to the men who died to
save their country:
"Wo should guard their graves with sucreil
vigilunco. All that the consecrated wealth and
tasto of the nation can do to add to their adorn
ment and security Is but a fitting tribute to
tho memory of our slain defenders. Let no
wanton foot tread redely on such hallowed
mounds. Let pleasant paths invito tho com
ing and going of reverent visitors and fond
mournors. Let no vandalism of avarice or
neglect -no ravages <r time—testify to the
present or coming generations that wo havo
forgotten as a peoplo tho causo of a free and
undivided public. If other eyes grow dull and
their hands slacken and their hearts grow cold
In the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well ns
long as light and warmth of Iffe remain to us.
Let us then at the time appointod gather
around their sacred remains and garland tho
passionless mounds above them with tho
choicest flowers of spring timo. Let us raise
übove thein tho dear old flag they saved from
dishonor. Lot us in this solemn presence re
new our pledges to aid and assist those whom
they have left among us, a sue red charge upon
a nation's gratitude—tho soldiers' and sailors'
widows and orphans."
With reverence and gratitude the
aged, the fair and the young of our
land strew the graves of the departed
heroes with bright blossoms upon every
returning 80th of May. They remem
ber the service rendered by the dead.
But they have learned to do more.
They have been taught to make pleas
ant the last days and respect the gray
hairs of those who survived the war
and are even now preparing to join
their comrades in the grand encamp
ment on the other shore. It is well
that while we moisten with a tear the
hallowed grave of a departed friend,
we lend a helping hand and give a
cordial smile to the wheezing veteran
by our side.
The southern Memorial day owes, as
has been said, its origin to Mrs. Mary
Anna Williams, of Columbus, Ga. Mrs.
Williams was the daughter of Maj.
John Howard, of Mil ledge vllle, Ga.,

and was a superior woman. She com
bined the loveliest womanly traits of
character with that self-reliance and
determination generally attributed to
the sterner sex. She was liberally edu
cated In the best schools of Charleston,
S. C.,and Philadelphia, and was accom
plished In music, painting and lan
guages. She married Maj. J. C. Wil
liams on Ills return from the Mexican
war. He was a lawyer of high stand
ing and speaker of the house of repre
sentatives about the timo the war
broke out. While colonel of the First
Georgia Regulars In the army of Vir
ginia he contracted disease from

thinking of the !<>•.• 1 and h-. l ones, the?
little girl would pluck the weeds from
the unmarked soldiers'graves near her
father's, and cover the in with flowers,
calling them "her soldiers* graves," and
say they had no one else to care for them.
After a short while the dear little girl
was summoned by the angels to join
her father. The sorely-bereaved moth
er then took charge of these unknown
graves for the child's sake, and as she
cared for them thought of the patriots'
.graves throughout the south, far away
from home and kindred, and in this
way the plan was suggested to her of
setting apart one day in each year that
love might pay tribute to valor through
out the southern states. In March,
180rt, she addressed a communication to
the daily paper at Columbus suggesting
our "Memorial day" custom. She then
wrote to the Soldiers' Aid societies, and
they readily responded, and reorganized
under the lead of memorial associations.
Mrs. Williams died April I*, 1874, and
was buried with military honors.
TONY'S PRETTY FLOWERS.
The spring had been so late in com
ing that the good and loyal people of
Teckerdsvillo scarcely knew what they
should do about flowers for Decoration
day. The hitherto never-failing snow
balls and lilacs were in embryo, while
of the wild flowers not even a spring
beauty or a wood violet was to be seen.
The ladies got together and talked
over the situation; the committee of
arrangements solemnly decided that
something surely had to be done, and
that without delay. Then the ladies
met the committee, when there was
much more talking than ever, which
finally culminated in a wrathful out
burst from Old Mrs. Malliner, a soldier's
widow:
"See yere, now, all there is we'se
gotter have flowers tor put onto the
graves 'n' all the snivelin' 'n' talk in'
back in the worl' hain't ergoiu' ter
hurry up spring one bit. What's more,
we jist kain't put off decoratin'; so we'll
hafter take up er collection fer buyin*
uv 'em. Here goes my quarter."
This innovation was a startling one
to the TcckerdsvillianSjWho, if patriotic,
were also economical, and their con
tributions were not made with startling
alacrity. Still, after much persistence
and a thorough canvass of the town,
an amount was raised that, in the opin
ion of every bod j', was ample for the end
desired. There being no hothouse or
flower store in Teckerdsvillo, Tony
Malliner, only son of the widow,
was instructed to proceed to Detroit
and make the purchase.
Decoration day opened warm, but
witWevery promise of an all-to-be-dc
sired occasion. The villagers decked
themselves in their best attire, the
farm wagons came lumbering into
town, filled with happy creatures, glad
to get away for a day from the arduous
toil of the home. Bluejays chattered

in the upplc trees, robins sang soft love
notes to their mates, and sparrows
twittered upon every hand.
Presently, however, as the crowds
gathered, so did the clouds. Patriot
ism, however, is strong, and the people
like to get together in the country.
Ilencc, while they gossiped and specu
lated upon the possible events of the
day, they gave little heed to the fall
ing smoke from tlie chimneys or the
fitful whining of the winds, those sure
precursors of a rainfall.
The speaker, the preacher, the church
choir and the chairman had gathered
upon the stage that stood on the outer
edge of the cemetery, while two or
three thousand people were gathered in
front. Then a raindrop fell sputtering
bere and there upon the new bonnets
or dresses of the women, and tlio
derbys of the men. Neighbor regarded
neighbor nervously, but no one
flinched as a slow, drizzling, hut de
cidedly wetting rain sot in.
Chairman, preacher, speaker, choir
all did their part without abatement of
one jot or tittle of the programme.
Loyally the people stood at their posts,
uttering no complaints, if they did fail
to cheer.
Then, after the benediction was pro
nounced, the chairman called up the
committee to distribute the flowers.
Alas! the flowers did not materialize.
In their stead, in the paper boxes once
containing them, were wretched masses
of pulpy, vari-colored paper, tangles of
wrapped wire, etc. Tony had pur
chased a lot of miserably made paper
flowers instead of nature's own dear
gifts.
"They was so much cheaper," ho was
careful to explain.
Still there was no end to small flags,
so that two of them were placed upon
each soldier's grave ami thus amends
were made in part for Tony's blunder.
But Teckerdsvillo never did and never
will forgive him the sorry trick he
played.

There are more soldiers' graves to
