many blessings we have enjoyed at
tlm hands of the great Giver of all
thii.gs.
While 3011 are enjoying a sumptuous
l'eat to-day and are blessed with health
and strength and prosperity, do not
for-ot the less fortunate ones around
you. There are many who are not
so highly favored and a small act of
kindness on your part will throw a ray i
of sunshine in their hearts and lighten
the life-burden that may be pressing
them down.
Mrs. Jefferson Davis has solved
the question in regard to the final
plate of the remains of her distin
guished husband by the selection of
Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, Va.
This is a beautiful burial place, over
looking the James river and the city.
Within its precincts repose many ot
Virginia's sons who distinguished
themselves as statesmen, soldiers and
jurists, or in the professions and busi
ness walks of life. Here it is proposed
by the Southern people to erect a
monument which will attest their ap
preciation of the great abilities and
high pcrsonul character of Mr. Davis.
Wf. should like to see every man
actively engaged in some useful avoca-tio-.
