DECORATING THE Ora YES OF
THF DEAD.

DECORAIlNG IHE GHd TO Ut
THF DEAD.
By the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron had fled,
Where the blades of the brave grass qu'ver
Asleep arc the ranks OF the dead
Under the sod aud the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Under the one the Blue
Under the other the Gray.
These in the robings of glory
Those in the gloom of defeati
All with the battle blood CORY,
In the dust of eternity meet;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Under the laurel the Blue
Under the willow the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours,
The desolate mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the foe
Under the sod and the dew
Waiting The Judgment day,
Under the roses the Blue
Under the lilies the Gray.
So. with an equal splendor,
The morning sun rays fall,
With a touch impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the Judgment day
Rroidered with gold the Blne--
Mellowed with gold the Gray
So. when the summer calleth
On forest and field of grain,
With an equa! murmur falieth
The cooling drip of the rain,
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting tile judgment day;
Wet with rain, the Blue,
Wet with rain, the'Gray.
Sadly, but not with npbraiding,
The generous deed was done;
In the storm Of the years now fading,
No Drawer battle was won;
Under the sod aud the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day:
Under the blossoms, the Blne,
Under the garlands, the Gray
No more shall the war-cry sever,
Or the winding river be red;
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves ofour dead
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Love and tearsfor the Blue.
Tears and love for the Gray.

following day according to ap-
pointment he called and was
shown the carte de visite. He
says: .
Il looked in vain for my

corner, and even turned the
carte over and examined the
back, but never a spirit could
be seen. This was my expert
ence.
I am of a spiritual turn, and
have had some experiences in
this line. l began, at an early
day, with the little Foxes

ratified about the upholstery in
the most unwholesome manner.

lamented Preston King perform

Justice Chase was called upon

SOCIAL ADJUSTMENTS.

The Presbytery in Memphis,
at its recent session adopted the
following preamble and resolu-
tions, which we most heartily
endorse and commend:
'1nasmuch as the General
Assembly has formerly and ex-
plicitly borne its testimony
against promiscuous dancing,
theatre-going, card-playing,
and similar vain and worldly
amusements; and inasmuch as
the Presbytery of Memphis has
borne its solemn and explicit
testimony to the same effect;
and inasmuch as the times call
again for a full expression of
opinion on the subject there
fore
Resolved, That we do here
by condemn all such amuse-
ments, not only as inconsistent
with the rules of our church,
but highly detrimental to the
spiritual interest of Gods peo-
pie, a serious obstacle in the
way of the full and effective
progress Of a pure gospel and
the salvation of souls and a
grief of heart to many Of the
conscientious disciples of the
Redeemer; and we would there.
fore, recommend it to our Pas
| tors and Sessions to examine
all candidates for admission in.
to the church very particularly
on this point, and use all prop
er occasions to exhort, reprove
and admonish Els to the evil
tendency ofsuch worldly amuse-
ments, and constantly explain
to their congregations what the
Scriptures teach on the matter
Of worldly conformity, and thai

churches before the next meet,

Gems of Worth From the
Pens of Thinkers.

Love is like a hunter, who
cares not for the game when
once caught, which he may
have pursued with the most in
tense and breathless eagerness.
Love is stronger in pursuit;
friendship in possession.
The moral and apprehensive
nature of girls is moro rapidly
developed than the mind OF
boys, as satellites move quick
er than planets, or as flowers
bloom sooner in valleys than
on mountains.
The freside is a school of in
finite importance; it is impor-
tant because it is universal and
because the education it be-
slows, being woven in with the
wool of childhood, gives form
and color to the whole texture
of life.
Were it given to the organic
eve to see into the minds OF
others, we should judge a man
much more surely from what
he dreams than that what he
thinks; there is will in the
thought, there is none in the
dream.
1t is the most momentous
question a woman is ever called
on to decide, whether the faults
of the man she loves will drag
her down, or whether she is
competent to be his earthly re-
deemer.

TRUE AS PREACHING.

IF men and women were will
ling to live within their income,
disposed to begin life at the
bottom of the ladder, obey the
primary impulses Of their ma
ture, and enter upon the cares,
trials and pleasures of the do
nestle circle, bind their hearts
and Irvine their hopes around
the family altar, they would be
greatly the gamers. But here
comes the difficulty they must
live when theybegin just as 9TH
ers are living, or in better style
perhaps, who for thirty or forty
years have been carefully and
economically journeying along
until they found they could af-
ford to show off a little. 1t
would be well if our modern
fair ones were more willing to
do as Eve did, when, with a
new creation smiling around
her, she and her husband be-
gan their housekeeping. We
don't believe she thought the
house would look too common
without a velvet tapestry on her
parlor and sitting room floors,
nor do we believe she had a
chamber-maid or nurse to run
after little Cain and Abel. 49,
There is little doubt, in our own
mind, she made Adams trow-
sers and hemmed his pocket
handkerchief, fixed up his Sun
day coat and kept things gen.
orally, nice and tidy in the
house. While she was doing
this, Adam was probably tend
ing his focks, or worked in the
garden, fenced his potato patch,
and attended to outdoor things
generally. Thus they got
along right smartly' and eco
nomically, and became quite
rich and aristocratic, had many
children, lived to a good old
age, and died among friends.
This after all is the true way
both for male and female. Be-
gin upon a small scale and
gradually rise from that point.
Never begin at the top and-come
down.

: The Bourbon romance, re-
Gently consumated in America,
has a sequel. Prince Louis. af-
ter his fight with his sweet
heart, Amelie de Hamel, and
hasty civil marriage in New
York, has enjoyed a blissfui
honeymoon of nearly two
months; but now the harmony
of the welded pair is disturbed
by a protest from Francis II,
ex-King of Naples. This mon
arch, without crown, depend
ent upon the charity of the Pope
for a habitation in the Farnese
palace, at Rome, and ruling no
subjects except a few parasitic
followers, considers himself the
head of the House of Bourbon,
and in this capacity declares
the marriage Of the young
Prince null and void, accompa-
nying the protest with a threat
of accommodation from the
family. Prince Louis is a spir-
tied and self-willed young man,
said to be not at all proud of
his family connection, and it is
not likely that he allows this
illumination to trouble him a
great deal. Rich, just mar
ried, and In a free country,
the threats of the ex-King are
as futile as most of the Bourbon
proclamations to which the
world has lately been treated.

| Moment of Thought

A Moment of Thought
Forty years once seemed a long
and weary pilgrimage to tread.
1t now seems but a step. And
yet along the way are broken
shrines where a thousand hopes
have wasted into ashes; foot
prints sacred under their drift
ing dust: green moulds whose
grass is fresh with the watering
of tears; shadows even which
we could not forget. We will
garner the sunshine of those
years, and with chastened step
and heavenward hope push on
towards the evening whose sig
nal lights will soon be seen
shining where the waters are
still, and the storms never beat.
