Comrades : - Another year has passed and we are again reminded the time is approaching when we make our annual visitation to the habitations of tbe dead. More than twenty-eight years have passed since the Autel of Peace spread her wings over onr beloved country. In all that time you have never faltered in your devotion to tha memory of your departed comrades, aud now in the nidst of this beautiful season of the year, when all nature is bright, and tbe aweetjperfnme 0f the flowers of spring is around and about us, it were well that we stop at tbe milestone of 1893, and with solemn thoughts and utterances renew our allegiance to the cause for which so many of our brave comrades went down to their death, or since tbe eventful days of the war bare dropped by the wayside. Let us show by our seal in the performance of this sacred dnty, thst we believe it is well for the country to thus honor tbe memory of her defenders, and in this manner teach an object lesson of patriotism which will never be forgotten. For our comrades wbo have answered the last roll call there are in our hearts words, it we could speak them, that are as Passion flowers, and sentences that are as wreaths of Amaranth. They sleep under the dew and tha dais;. To their memory, on May 30th, we will drop the tribute of atear;andon the lowly mounds scattered throughout onr great Commonwealth let us plant the beautiful flowers of springtime, that will be watered with the tears of the peoplo of a grateful country. Aa we bend o'er the graves of our comrades, we can recti!, as if in sweet communion, their noble, unselfish sacrifices and heroic bearing in tbe hour of danger, for humanity and civilization. In this spirit <?f meditation we look about us and see tbe evidence* Ot prosperity all over this broad land, and whilst we can recall nothing which can arouse • feeling of vindictlveness or sectional passion, we feel proud of the fact that onr honored dead were comrades in the grandest volunteer army tbe world ever knew. Let us, therefore, perform Ibe duties ot the day in a reverent spirit, and thus •how to the world our appreciation of their efforts in the days of long ago, and for tbe tew remaining days allotted to us let us so live that when we, too, shall have been called, "we may wrap tbe drapery ot our eouoh about us and lie down like one to pleasant dreams."
