The annual celebration of the fame, the sacrifices and the glory of the soldiers of the union Is a beautiful custom, but the day was never meant for a time set apart for lamentation. The nation rays a tribute of flowers, of song and words of praise and aporeclatlon to Its glorious dead, and It is in a spirit of tender pride and exaltation that the holiday should be It has been a mistake celebrated. to cover the day with crepe. Certainly there must be sad hearts on this day, but If Memorial day Is made wbat It should be there will be brought to the widow and the fatherless consolation and strength. Comfort and wholesome thought are suggested by the tribute of a whole country to those who pledged their lives for the land of their love In Its time of need. Let us not put on mourning garments and make a gloomy day out of the beautiful festival of honoring the glorious dead. "For how can man die batter than facing fearful odds For tha anhea of his father, and th altars of his gods?" If you want to get the ral inspiration of the day, go early iu the morning to any of the God's acres which are ever around the dwellings of the living. There, in the dewy quiet, where there Is no sound but the songs of birds and the sighing of the wind in the trees, you will look upon the graves where loving bands have set the little flags which tell that a soldier sleeps his last sleep below. Then, as the morning freshness withers under the sun, you see the forms of men and women and children bending over the places where their loved ones rest, and you will be reminded that love outlives death. The comfort of God comes to those who graves. set flowers over long-madYou will, at last, hear the sound of music, and so will be announced the arrival of the Grand Army and other veterans on their duty of the day. The old men march to a central place and with bowed heads listen to a prayer and then sing a hymn. The voice of one, perhaps, rises In an oration upon the heroes of patriotism. Then the little procession starts upon Its Journey and visits every soldiers grave, laying flowers upon the grass so lately sprung from the sleep of winter. Yes, your eyes will be full of tears, but they will not be the tears which burn; not tears of misery and grief, but those tears of universal, uplifting emotion which make us all feel the Renobonds of human brotherhood. vating tears, that relieve the heart nd make It seem less of an enigma. All day long loving hands bring flowers as offerings to the memory of the unselfish brave; on and on till the sun sets tireless feet walk by the decorated graves, pausing now and then while a stroller reads a tribute graven upon some stone, or notes the offering of blossoms on some otherwise unmarked mound. And when evening falls the level rays of the sun He, like a benediction, upon the places where the love of human hearts has heaped up the treasures of May, In tribute to the sons and tNa martyrs of freedom. The 30th of May Is a day of glorious, Inspiring remembrance, one when. If tears are shed, they are only tears which sanctify, without burdencon-noctl- o- - O the latter part of the until Its I was with the armies under Gen. Sherman, usually designated the Army of the Tennessee, the Army of the Cumberland and the Army of the Ohio, wrote MaJ Gen. O. O. Howard. The campaigns were exceedingly active. From Chat tanooga to Atlanta Shermans soldiers were under flrq every day, except the three just before crossing the Etowah, for 113 days. There was not a day or night In which there were no soldiers slain. The screeching shells burst over our heads while we were sleeping, but. wonderful to tell, the sol dlors had become so used to this conflict that they lost very little sleep In consequence of the fitful and random firing at night. In that period of 113 days there were 19 sizable battles fought In one attack I made at Pickett's Mill I lost 800 killed and three times as many wounded within the space of 18 minutes. At night I sat among the wounded and realized something of the horrors of war. It seems to me today as I think of It like a terrible nightmare, but It was a more terrible reality, which I will not attempt to describe. When I come to think of the "March to the Sea" and later the "March Through the Carolines," what occurs to my memory first Is the exceeding hardihood of the soldiers. They recovered quickly from their wounds, I mean from those that were not too severe, and there was scarcely any Illness. But when Columbia was on fire an untold number perished In the flames. Still more perished from accidental explosion of confederate shells at Columbia and Cheraw. We like to turn away from the mangled corpses and (distorted faces of the wounded that cannot be described. I feel the same horror and depression In view of these things as I did at Gettysburg, where on both sides upward of 60,000 men were placed hors do combat. For several days poor fellows, union and confederate soldiers, waited In patience, unattended by surgeons, simply because there were not enough of .them. Without further detail, Imagine the Joy that came over the armies of Sherman as they gathered about Ralegh, N. C., In 1866, and were told that Lee had surrendered and that Grant had sent Lee's soldiers home to begin life anew; that Johnston had surrendered on the same terms as Lee and all that belonged to Slocum's, Schofield's and Howard's armies were to march on the morrow toward Washington, the capital of the nation, soon to be mus tered out of service and then to go home. I remember the sudden depression at the news of Lincoln's death; but still this going home produced too great a Joy to keep ever this cats trophe of their heavy loss very long before their minds. They marched habitually at 20 miles a day from Raleigh to Richmond, and never seemed weary at the close of any day's march the csmp fire was bright, the old songs were sung over and over knitted again and the comradeship during the war would never cease It was at its best when the word "peace" filled all the air I know that we were proud when we marched past the president of the United States in our last great review; but, as I remember It, It was a tearful pride even then.

The Joy of going home for the 300 was great, but It was a tearful joy the Instant one thought of the 800 or more who could not go home, wh never did go home, who were burled somewhere In the broad land over which the 300 had marched, and too often with a headpiece marked "Unknown. After the war I stood In the large cemetery near Murfreesboro, Tenn., with Gen. R. B. Hayes (afterward president) and Mrs. Hayes. I remember how Mrs. Hayes, who was an exceedingly handsome woman, looked up Into the faces of the general and myself as her large, dark, speaking eyes were flooded with tears, when she said: "Just look there, that plot of ground Is covered with headstones marked Unknown. Unknown, unknown, she repeated, "and yet he gave his life that his country might live! It was a touching picture, but every time I think of It I say to myself: "Really, that unknown soldier, unknown, recorded unknown, was not really unknown. Somebody knew him. His comrades knew him. A mother, a sister, a wife and children. If he had them, knew him. There Is a better record somewhere than that in the soldiers' cemetery. Our faith Is so strong that we all believe In the resurrection and in the future life and have a great satisfaction In feeling that no sacrifices and particularly not that of life Itself for duty, for what one sincerely believes to be duty, has ever been or ever will be made In vain. The saddest pictures of all, to my mind, are those connected with a losing battle like that of Fredericksburg, and still more that of Chancellorsvllle. At Fredericksburg the army of Burnside went straight forward to Its own destruction. The lines of Lee, half encircling Burnsides points of attack, were complete. It was like a trap into which an animal deliberately puts hl feet. We sprang the trap, and it is a wonder that Lee had not dealt with Burnside's army as the sturdy Thomas dealt with Hoods at Nashville. I can see In my mind's eye those Immense plateaus In front of the Marve Heights and other confederate Intrenchments and barricades covered with the dead and dying. The plateaus were fairly blue, as they were dotted with the ing, the heart wearers of our uniform. THE WARTIME PHOTOGRAPH. Gen. Couch was standing by my side In the steeple of a church, near the close of that battle, where we together were taking a fresh reconnolssance, when I noticed that his voice trembled as he spoke to me. He said: "Oh, Gen. Howard, look there! Look there! See the ground covered with the boys In blue, and all to no purpose. After we had returned, all of us who could return, to the other shore of the Rappahannock, the depression of the soldiers was greater than at any other time during the war. We could hardly speak to each other. Now, after years, we can recognize the fact that our grief was balanced by the Joy of the confederates over a great victory, and yet not a decisive one,, gained by them.
