What the Army IL For.

Our expenditures on account of the army
last year were $440S0 0S4; as the army con-
>ists OF 10000 men all told, the expenditure
was about -l.4OO per mana very eNorbi-
taEt rate. The estimated expenditures on
army account for the present year are Si3.-
0O00Ol, which is still at the rate OF about
81 400 To the man.
In view OF this large expenditure. it is
only fair that the people ask, What the army
is for! What are its uses? What are its
duties? In Europe, armies are maintained
at an oppressive cost to the people, partly
70 preserve the existing status, and partly
to repress the very people whom this costs.
The people support the armies. and the ar
mics suppress the people. But a different
notion has prevailed in this country. 1t
has been thought that the sole duty of an
army in this country is to fight the enemy.
If there is no enemy to fight, there is no
thing for the army to do; and il there Is
little or nothing for the army TO do. it may
be safely reduced 10 numbers barely suffi-
cient To take care of the Indians, man the
forts and barracks, and take care OF the ar
senal stores.

IN MEMORIAM.

The life-blood OF the year Is ebbing slowly.
Staining with crimson drops the fallen
leaves;
He who was once so proud now lies there
lowly.
while Autumn gamers up her golden
The haunting aster, purple Tipped, has per-
ished,
The rainbow colored dahlias withcred all.
And, like one fond regret which love hath
cherished
Alone the ivy shiyers on the wall
a voice overburdened with a low, wild
Signs out its plants upon the midnight
air.
Like a lost spirit for its sins atoning.
Whose only whisper Is the word despair"
The waves ofsound throb wildly gainst the
shutter,
And fast recede into the darksome night
Trembling with sadness. like the painful
or frightened doves in their uncertain
flight.
The Frost King j. abroad. with magic finger
Twinning i'm Earth's tresses lev curls:
While on her brow his freezing kisses linger
Till morn shall melt them to IA crown of
pearls:
The naked trees hing out their qnivering
branches.
Like spectral fingers clasping shadowy
forms;
While each nail smitten crest in fury
launches
a proud defiance 10 the kissing storms.
| hear the waves of ocean far rebounding-
The white-keyed organ Of the universe
That ia their eager joy seem ever sounding
Their Makers praises ia majestic verse.
Far, far through rocky halls the anthem
peaing
Fills the vas; caverns with IL, floods Of
song,
And on tHe distant ear comes softly stealing.
Like signs OF flow'rets borne the wind
along.
o wind and waves! with tumultuous
thrOnging,
Old memories come OF sorrow-burdened
wing
Memories Of one, who, with an earnest
longing,
Drank deep the Inspiration which ye
bring.
Your trembling lips pronounced benedlc-
ton.
Morning and evening on her youthful
pride,
And when bowed down beneath the great
ailictiOn.
Her wounded spirit dropped its wings AMI
died.
