~ DECORATION DAY. How It Wili Be Observed in New York City and Vicinity. FLOWERS FOR HEROES’ GRAVES. Orations To Be Delivered at the Different Gornatonies: The hurry of life, the ever-changing opinions of the People, the abundance of “sensation” and the hot at- trition of political parties in America all tend to fill the present with interest and throw tne near past into the iong ago. With Americans things that bap- pened ten ys since are as dead, suve on history's Immortal page, as Cvwsar’s invasion of Gaul. The dlection of a month ago, tho catastrophe of the other day and yesterday's panic on ‘Change are all torgotten in contemplation of to-day’s dis- aster, or in anticipation of to-morrow’s change In prices. The man whose memory dates back over a month is voted a bore, and accused of being interested im ancient History. Dashing colonels and brave captains are now obsolete, and the taste for Martial romance has been dissipatea out of the mational character, All the issues on whieh the war of the rebellion was fought seem dead, und the late effort to manufacture political sentiment out of them was'a signal failure, American eyes have a charactor istic tendency to look forward aud let the past bo with itself, so that when an anniversary, sach as 18 to be celobrated to-morrow, comes to hand, it is taken as an enjoyment for the moment of its being, and only in the oration of tho day is the past recalled, Tho wounds of war are healed; the sisterhood of States is Again established and the rancor of the cootest 13 buried With the dead, On its tomb to-morrow em- blems of peace will be scattered and prayers for the victor und the vanquished will be olfered on both gides of Mason and Dixon’s line, The prayers, the in- terests and the hopes, the joys and sorrows of the late divided household now are one, and the memories of the biue and gray are hallowed North and South. Beyond the Potomac where commingicd in death the Warriors repose side by side, no distinction wall be made in tho distribution of floral tokens. The general and the private receive alike the meed of gratitude and the tear of regret; m death they ail are one, ‘he people of the North have not the same opportunity of displaying an amnesty of the past as those of the South have. Fow heroes of the gray are buricd with us, but all whodo not share the floral gifts will be remembored in our prayers, TO-MORROW’S PROGRAMME, The programme for to-morrow’s celebration in New York city ts one of the most cluborate ever announced, and as the weather will almost certainly prove favor- abie tke ceremonies will be very impressive.
