On the 6unday alter decoration day
Eev. T. DcWitt Talmaj preached an
.appropriate sermon at Brooklyn. Hia
subject was: "Two Garlands lor North-
crn and Southern Graves." Over the
pulpit were two wreaths ol beautiful
flowers, and they were linked together
so that they were an object lesson ol
the subject presented. His text was
from Isaiah 43, G: "I will say to the
North. Give up, and to the South, Keep
not back." Dr. Talmagc said:
Jmt what my text meant by the
north and south, I cannot say, but in
the United States the two words are so
point blank in their meaning that no
one can doubt. They mean more than
east and west, for although between
those two last there hare been rivalries
and disturbing ambitions and infelici
ties and silver bills and world's fair
controversies, there have been between
them no batteries unlimbcred, no en
trenchments dug, no long lines ol
sepulchral mounds thrown up. It has
never been Massachusetts fourteenth
regiment against "Wisconsin zouaves; it
lias never been Virginia artillery
against Mississippi rifles. East and
wrst are distinct words and some
times maj- mean diversity of in
terest, but there k bo blood on
them. They can be produced without
anj- intonation of wailing and death
groan. Jtut the north and the south
are words that have been surcharged
with tragedies They are words which
suggest that for forty years the clouds
had leen gathering for a fouryearr'
tempest which thirty years ago burst in
a fury that shook this planet as it has
never been shaken since It swung out
at the first world building. I thank
God that the words have lost some of
the intensity which they possessed
three decades ago; that a vast multitude
of northern people have moved south
and a vast multitude of southern people
have moved north and there have been
intermarriages by the ten thousand,
and northern colonels have married the
daughters of southern captains, and
Texas rangers have united lor life with
the daughters of New York abolition
ists,aud their children are half northern
and half soutiicrn and altogether patri
otic. Hut north and south are words that
need to be brought into still closer har
monization. I thought that now when
we are half way between presidential
elections and sectional animosities are
at the lowest ebb, and now just after a
presidential journey when our chief
magistrate, who was chiefly elected by
the north, has lecn cordially received
at the south, and now just after two
memorial days, one of them a month
ago strewing flowers on southern graves
and tho other yesterday strewing flow
ers on northern graves, it might le ap
propriate and useful for me to preach a
sermon which would twist two gar
lauds, one for the northern dead and
the other for the southern dead, and
liave the two interlocked in a chain of
flowers that shall bind forever the two
sections into one; and who knows but
that this may be the day when the
prophecy of tho text, made in re
gard to the ancients may bo fulfilled in
regard to this country and the north
give up its prejudices and the south
keep not back its confidence. "I will
suy to the north, give up, and to the
south, keep not back."
Hut before I put these garlands on
the graves, 1 mean to put them this
morning a little while on the brows of
tho living men and vjomen of the north
and south who lost husbands and sons
and brothers during the civil strife
There is nothing more soothing to a
wound than a cool bandage, and these
two garlands arc cool from the night
dew. What a morning that was on the
banks of the Hudson and the Savannah
when the son was to start for the Avar!
"What fatherly and motherly counsel!
"What tears! What heart breaks! What
charges to write home often! What lit

sack or the bundle that was to bo ex

around the depot or steatnltoat landing

ter cried. And how lonely the house
seemed after they ent home and what
an awfully vacant chair there was at
the Christinas and Thanksgiving table!
And after the battle, what waiting for
news! What suspense until the long
lists of the killed and wounded were
made out.
All along the Penobscot and the Con
necticut and the St. Lawrence and the
Ohio and the Oregon and the .lames and
the Alliemarle and the Alabama and
the Mississippi and the Sacramento
there were lamentation and mourning
and great woe, Rachel weeping for her
children and refusing to bo comforted
because they were not
Tho world has forgotten it, but father
and mother have not forgotten it.
They may be bow in the eighties or
the nineties, but it is a fresh wound
and will always remain a fresh wound.
Coming down the steep ol years the
hands that would have steadied those
tottering steps have been twenty-eight
years folded into the last sleep. The
childlessness, the widowhood, the or
phanage, who has a measuring line
long enough to tell the height of it, the
depth ol it, the infinity of it? What a
mountain, what an Alps, what a Hima

going down to death!
1 detain from the top of the tomb
these two garlands that I am twisting
for a little while that 1 may with them
soothe the brow of the living. Over
the fallen the people said: "Poor fel
low! What a pity that he should have
been struck down?" We did not, how
ever, often enough say: "Poor father!
Poor mother! Poor wife! Poor child!"
and so I say it now. Have you realized
that by that wholesale massacre hun
dreds of thousands of young people at
the north and south have never had any
chance? We who are fathers stand be
tween our children and the world. We
fight their battles we plan for their
welfare, we achieve their livelihood,
we give them the advice of oar eepe
iior years. Among the richest bleesiags
ol my life I thank God that ay father
lived to fight my battles until I was old
enought to fight-for myself. Have you
realised the lact that toer civil war
pitched out upon the farm fields of the
north and the plantations of the south
a multitude that no man can number,
children without fatherly help and pro
tection? Under all the advaatages which we
had of fatherly guidance, what a stran
gle life has been to most of es! Sot
what of the children, two and five aed
ten years of age, who" stood at their 1
mother's lap with great, round, won
dering eyes, hearing her read of those
who perished in the battle ol the wil
derness, their lather goae down aaid
the dead host? Come, young men mad
young women who Tjj such disaster
have had to" make your own way in life,
and I will put the gar '.aad on your
young and un.rrrin.kled brow. Yet;
you hare had yonr on Malreni Hill
and your owa South Mouataia, and
your own Gettysburg all along these
twenty years. Come! And if I cannot
spare a whole garland lor your brow, I
will twist k yoar locks at least twe
flowers, one crimson and oae white,
the crimson lor the straggle of yoar
life which has almost amounted to
carnage, and the white for Ibe rktory
yoa have gained.
Before I put the two garlands I am
twisting upon the northern and south
ern tombs, I detain the garlands a little
while that I may put them apoa the
brow ol the living soldiers and sailors
ol the north and south, who, though in
variance lor a loeg while, are aow at
peace and in hearty loyalty to the
United States government aad ready,
il need be, to march shoulder to shoul
der against aay foreign foe.
The twenty-six winters that have
passed since the war, I think, have suf
ficiently cooled the hatreds that once
burned northward and southward to al
low the remark that tbey who fought
in that conflict were honest on both
sides. The chaplains of both armies
were honest in their prayers. The
faces that went into battlo, whether
they marched toward the Gull ol Mex
ico or marched toward the north star,
w ere honest laces. It is too much to ask
either side to believe that those who
came out from their homes, forsaking
lather and mother and wife "and child,
many of them never to return, were not
In earnest when they put their life into
awful exigency. Witness the last scene
at family prayers up among the Green
mountains or down by the fields of cot
ton and sugar cane. Men do not sacri
fice them all for fun. Men do not eat
moldy bread or go without bread at all
lor lun. Men do not sleep unsheltered
in equinoctial storms for fan. There
were some no doubt on both sides who
enlisted for soldiers' pay or expecting
opportunity for violence and pillage or
burning with revenge, and thirst for
human blood, but such cases were so
rare many of you who were in the war
four years never confronted such an in
stance of depravity.
As chaplain of a Pennsylvania regi
ment and as a representative of the
United States Christian commission, I
was for a while at the front and in
those hospitals at Hagerstown and
Williamsburg and up and down the
Potomac, where all the churches and
farm houses were filled with wounded
and dying Federals and Confederates.
I forgot amid the horrors to ask on
which side they fought, when with
what little aid I could take them lor
the suffering bodies and the mightier
aid I could for their souls. I passed the
days and months amid scenes that in
my memory seem like a ghastly dream
rather than possible reality. When a
New Orleans boy, unable to answer my
question as to where he was hurt, took
out from the folds of the only garment
that had not been torn off him in the
battle a New Testament marked
with his own life blood, and I
saw the leaf turned down at the
passage: "My peace I give unto
you, not as the world givcth give I
unto you," it read just as though it had
been a northern New Testament And
when 1 sat down and took from a South
Carolinian dying in a barn at Boones
villc his last message to his wife and
mother nnd child, it sounded just like a
message that a northern man dying far
from home would send to his wife and
mother and child. And when I picked
up from the battlefield of An tic tarn the
fragment of a letter which I have some
where 3'et for the name and the ad
dress were torn off, I saw it was the
words of a wife to her husband telling
him how the little child prayed for
their father every night that he might
not get hurt in -the battle and might
come home well, but that if anything
happened to them they might all meet
again in the world where there are no
partings, it read just as a northern wife
would write to a husband away from
home and in peril conveying tho mes
sages of little children. 0, yes, they
were honest on lioth sides. And those
who lived to get home and arc living
yet were just as honest, and ought they
not for the suffering they endured have
a coronal of some kind?
Yes, there was courage on both sides.
They who were at the front know that
When the war opened the south called
the northern men "mudsills." and the
north called the southern men "hrag
garts" and "pompous nothings," but
after a few battles nothing more was
said aliout northern "mudsills" and
southern "braggarts." It was an army
of lions against an array of lions. It
was a flock of eagles mid-sky with iron
licnk against another flock of eagles
iron beaked. It was thunderbolt
against thunderbolt It was archangel
of wrath against archangel of wrath.
It was Hancock against Iongstrect
It was Kilpatrick against Wade Hamp
ton. It was Slocura against Hill. It
was O. O. Howard against Hood. It
was Sherman against Stonewall .lack
son. It was Grant against Lee. And
the men who were under them were
just as gallant, and some of them are
hcre.and I detain thotwogarlandsthatl
have twisted lor the departed and in
recognition ol Honesty ana prowess
put th coronals upon those living Fed
erals and Confederates. North and
south, we make a great luss about
them when they arc dead. There will
not le room on their tombstones to tell
how much we appreciate them. We
shall call out the military and explode
three volleys over their graves, making
all the cemetery ring under our com
mand of "Fire!" We will have long
obituary in newspapers telling in what
battles they fought, what sacrifices
they endured, what flags they captured,
in what prisons they suffered, but all
that will come too late. One word in
the living car of praise lor their hon
esty and courage will be worth to them
more than a military funeral two miles
long or a pile ol flowers half a mile
high and tea bands of music plaving
over the grave "Star Spangled Banner"
or "Way Down South in Dixie."
Now, while they are in their declin
ing years and their right knee refuses
to work because of the rheumatism
they got sleeping on the wet ground on
the baaks of the Chickamanga, or their
digestive organs arc off on furlough be
cause of the six months of prison life
in which their rations were a big slice
of nothing, aad their ears have never
been alert since the cannonade in
which they .heard so much they have
been able to hear but little since, in
these cases I call upon the people of
north and south to substitute a little
ante-mortem praise for the good deal of
post-mortem eulogium.
These two garlands that I twisted for
northern and southern graves shall not
be put npon the grass of the tomb until
they have first encircled the foreheads
of the living. I will let the front of
the wreath come down over the scar of
a scalp wound made by the sword of a
cavalryman at Atlanta and droop a
little over the eye that lost its luster in
the mine explosion at Petersburg.

The departed do know, and the baa
aered procession that marched the
earth yesterday to northern graves and
the bannered procession that marched
a month ago to southern graves, were
accompanied by two grander though
invisible processions that walked the
air, processions of the ascended, pro
cessions of the sainted; and tbey heard
the anthems of the churches aad the
salvo of the batteries and they
stooped down to breathe the in
cense of the flowers. These au
gust throngs gathered this morning
in these pews and aisles and cor
ridors and galleries, are insignificant
compared with the mightier throngs of
Heaven who mingle in this service
which we render to God and our coun
try while we twist the two garlands.
Hail spirits multitudinous! Hall spirits
blest! Hail martyred ones come down
from the King's palaces! How glad we
are that you have come back again.
Take this kiss of welcome and these
garlands of reminiscence, ye who lan
guished in hospitals or went down un
der the thunders and the lightnings ol
Fredericksburg and Cold Harbor and
Murfreesboro and Corinth and York
town and above the clouds on Lookout
mountain.
Among the thousands ol gatherings
at the north and at the south for decor
ation days I am conscious that this ser
vice is unique and that it Is the only
one in which there has been twisted
two garlands, one for the grave of the
northern dead and the other lor the
grave of the southern dead. O, Lord
God of the American union, is it not
time that we bury forever our old
grudges? My! My! Can we not be at
peace on earth when this moment in
Heaven dwell in perfect love Ulysses S,
Grant and Kobert E. Lee, William T.
Sherman and Stonewall Jackson and
tens of thousands of northern and
southern men who, though once looked
askance at each other from the oppo
site banks of the Potomac and the
Chickahomiuy and the James and the
Tennessee, now are on the same side of
the river, keeping jubilee with some of
those old angels who near nineteen cen
turies ago came down one Christmas
night to chant over Bethlehem: ' Glory
to God in the highest; on earth peacoi
good will to men!"
1 have been waiting for some yean
fof someone else to twist the two gar
lands that I to-day twist, but no one
doing it in tho love of God and my
country I. put now my hand to the
work, and next spring about this time,
if I am living and well, I will twist twe
more garlands for northern and south
ern graves, and every springtime until
some man or woman whom I may have
cheered a little in the struggle of this
life shall come out and put a pansy of
two on my own grave. But il the time
should ever come when this land shall
bo given over to sectional rancor
and demagogism. and the north and
south, or cast and west shall lorget
what the good God built this nation
for, and it shall halt on its high career
of righteousness and liberty and peace,
and become the agent of tyranny and
wrong and oppression, then let some
young man whom I have baptized in
infancy at these altars go out to Green
wood and scoop up my dust and scatter
it to the four winds of heaven, lor I do
not want to sleep, and I will not sleep
in a land accursed with sectionalism or
oppression.
And now I hand over the two gar
lands, lKith of which are wet with
many tears, tears of widowhood and
orphanage and childlessness, tears of
suffering nnd tears of gratitude, and as
the ceremony must lie performed in
symbol, there not being enongh flowers
to cover all the graves, tako the one
garland to the tomb of some north
ern soldier who may yesterday have
been omitted in the distribution
of the sacrament ol flowers, and
the other garland to the tomb of
some southern soldier, who may, a
month ago, have been omitted in the
distribution of the sacrament of the
flowers, and put both the wreaths gent
ly down over the hearts that have
ceased to beat God bless the two rar-
lands! God save the United States of
America!
THE FIJI ISLANDS.
Cannlballaaa and Mare-Trading Thing t
th raat.
A generation ago the name Fiji was a
common symbol for the grossest and
most repulsive savagery. The natives
were not simply cannibals, but their
cannibalism was aa every day affair,
forming a necessary element in every
festivity.
The sovereignty of the islands was
first offered to England, after a dis
tressing history of internal fends, ia
185S, but the commissioner sent out to
investigate reported adversely. Mean
while the influx of English and other
European settlers increased, and a
stab!e government became a necessity.
In 1S69, accordingly, the protectorate
was again offered to England and like
wise to the United States, but neither
power cared to undertake the dubioaa
responsibility. Two years later a brief
experiment of constitutioaal govern
ment under a native prince was tried,
but this failed and Great Britain anally
came to the rescue of the civilised set
tlers by accepting the sovereignty of
the islands, thas securing, t the same
time, a wished-for port of call om the
route from Australia to Panama.
The administrative forms mtredaced
among the Fijts are not peculiar eaeagh
to call for any long discussion. Here,
as elsewhere, the policy has been,
while doing away with savagery, to
treat native usages as gently as pos
sible. The governor ol Fiji is High
Commissioner of the Western Paciac,"
aad as such has been a patent factor ia
checking the cannibalistic aad slave
trading barbarities far which the South,
sea was until lately .nntarisaa. Prof.

GOOD RESULTS CERTAIN.

Milk tha Beat an Meat Kroaom'eal
Vo for Leaaba.
I make a specialty of sheep and horses
and raise but few pigs, and so cannot
tell the relative profit from feeding
skim milk to pigs and lambs. I keep
cows on purpose to pet both fresh and
skim milk for colts and Iambs and have
done so for some time with favorable
results. Such milk puts the bone and
muscle growth into all young animals
wihout making them too fat and with
out danger of over feeding them. I feed
the lambs until they are one month old
milk skimmed after standing twelve
hours only; then they will drink
any kind of skim milk. In cold weath
er, I warm the milk and mix with it
ground oats and oil meal, and from
such feed I can get all the growth 1
want in either lambs or colts. Early
lamb raising is profitable when intelli
gence and close attention are given to
the business, and in my mind early
lamb raising is in its infancy in our
country. In the first place. Iambs are
usually dropped in Maj', so that the
ewes can be on grass in warm weather
and they get no special attention. This
is wrong. The loss of lambs is too
great owing to such neglect Thirty
per cent more larolm will be saved if
dropped in February, while the sheep
are in wiBter quarters, where tbey can
have the shepherd's care in lamhing
and have their feed regulated as re
quired under different circumstances
and where the ewes can be made to
mother their lambs. Then, too, oar
people are learning to cat and hence
demand good mutton, which early lamb
growing aad forcing can alone supply.
With pork aad mutton at present
prices, we should raise early mutton
lambs and feed them liberally with
skimmed milk, but should give with it,
either mixed or separately, oil meal to
counteract the constipation induced by
the milk. U. E. llreck, in Rural New

When a person has a projier pose the

makes a curve in the spine above the

Hie Too Often.
A recent German paper tells the
story of an elderly man who had for a
wife one of those trying petxms who.
according to their own ideas are al
ways in the right and who make it a
point of conscience to prove every one
else in the wrong.
The poor man was never allowed to
make any statement without having it
instantly disputed by his accurate but
irritating spouse. She had acquired
