BY WILL. s HAYS.


The following is Ia touching and beautiful tri
butte paid to the memory Of great hero
The dTaPery Of Heaven hung low,
In dark and gloomy shrouds
The angels used the weeping stars,
In pinntng back the clouds.
The shades of gloom and woe prevailed
Ger all the land and sea,
And eyes that were unused to tears
Now wept for RoGERT LEE.
Christian, Soldier, true aud brave,
Beloved, near and afar.
BE the first ia time of peace,
And first in time Of war
Virginia, never reared a son
More brave and good than he,
Save one, and he was WASHINGTON,
Who lived and died like LEE.
The nation wept, when cruel death
Into his mansion stole
But angels in the ''Better Land"
Received his peaceful soul
For that belonged TO God alone,
He gave it to Him free,
And left the South the fame and name
OF ROBERT EDWARD LEE.
His peaceful sword is laid away
His work on earth is doue,
He loved the people in the South,
There's lot woman man, or child,
care not where they be
Throughout the still sweet Sunny South,
But loves the name of LEE.
We had no enemies on earth,
There 5 not a voice that can
Say au%ht against the NAME OF LIE,
The SOLDIER on THE MAN
And that would he "A proud cold heart
That 'er would cease to be
The place where memory wrote the name
OF Robert EDWARD LEE.
Bow down thy heads, We Southion sons,
few brief moments spend,
In weeping for the loss of one
Who lived and died Your FRIEND,
lie loved you as he loved his life,
And when on Blended knee,
Look Up, and lie: the angels hear
Your prayer, "GoD BLESS OUR LEE"

IMPORTANCE OF AIRING BEDs.-The de-
sire of an energetic housekeeper TO have her
work completed at an early hour in the
morning causes her to leave one Of tho
most important items Of neatness undone.
The most effectual purifying Of bed and bed
clothes cannot take place ifnoti ia allow
ed for the free circulation Of pure air to re-
move all human impurities which have col
lecied during the hours Of slumber. Al
least two or three hours should be allowed
for the complete removal of atoms Of insen-
sible perspiration which are absorbed by
the bed Every day this airing should be
done, and occasionally bedding constantly
used should be carried into the open air,
and when practicable left exposed to the
sun and wind for half day.

THINGS THAT NEVER DIE.

The pure, the bright the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulse to a worthless prayer,
The dreams Of love and truth
The longings after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry,
The stivings after better hopes
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
\ brother in his need,
The kindly word in griefs dark hour
That proves friend indeed
The plea for mercy, softly breathed
When justice threatens high,
The sorrow of contrite heart
These things can never die.
The memory of clasping baud,
The pressure Of a kiss,
And all the trihes, sweet and feet
That made up loves first bliss
If with firm unchanging faith
And holy trust and high,
Those hands have casped, those lips have me-
These things shall never die
The cruel and the bitter word,
That wounded as il fell
The chilling want Of sympathy,
We feel but never tell
The hard repulsc, that chills the heart,
Whose hopes were bounding high,
In an uufding record kept
These things shall never die.
Let nothing PASTOR every hand
Must hud some work 90 do
Lose not a chance to waken love
Be firm, and just, and true
80 shall light that cannot fade,
Beam on thee frJm on high
And angel voices say 10 thee
These things shall never die"
