For we would deck our heroes ombS
With All fair Gifts of thine.
Ia dewy vale on hillside brown,
In Swallowed grove and sunny glade,
Fling all sweet wealth of Flora down
Where'er our dead are laid;
For still. within each loyal breast,

Our happy dead, loW-eouchcd at rest,
Beyond the sounds of strife.
All worthy Of the love we bear,
We find our uttered words too weak
To voice the thoughts we fam would share,
And would, but cannot speak;
Yet noble in their lives, in death
More noble still, they do not need
Or song, or panegyric wreath,
Or any pral>einl need
OF glowing words to tell the world
Their deeds upon the listed field
For, though their glorious flags are lurled,
Though dropped each useful shield,
The great heart Of the world has beat
With quickest pulses DER their page,

Three Chicken Pies.
BY MARY CLIFFORD.

Kate Prentice, with her vigorous mind,
her strong will, and her Independent
habits of thought, was her fathers special
pet, and he educated her after his own
heart The best schools had done what
they could for Kate, and she had amply
repaid her fond fathers effort and satisfi-
ed his ambition. The school days had
been over about three months, and Kate
had been passing u gay season at home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Prentice had felt that she
should have a little time to herself before
She entered the harder school of blsy life
that was before her as q teacher, but those
three months between school going and
school teaching had done for Kate what
they had done Tor many another girl in
the same idle time, and there she stood in
the doorway, with all her years of book
knowledge and the kitchen ignorance be-
hind her, announcing her intention of
making that mysterious compound, that
chef d'nuvre OF accomplished house
keepers, chicken pie.
Mrs. Prentice turned pale; she thought
Kate little crazy
Mr. Prentice smiled. There was q
twinkle in his eye.
Let her try, mother; let her :ry," and
with very quick step and merry heart,
he was gone. But he talked aloud as he
went down the street.

when a girl that never could endure the
sight of kitchen begins to want to learn
how to cook, it's as sure there's somebody
else in the question, AS it is when you see
one little brown bird building nest in
spring, that there's a brighter, gayer bird
not far off, that is equally interested in
that sample of housebuilding.
Mr. Prentice was right.
But Kate" said her mother, ''you
surely don't mean to do it alone; you'll
spoil it as sure as the world you never
made even common pie. and it takes q
real knack to make a chicken pie"
81 surely do" said Kate, land if | spoil

it myself, and you have got to 90 entirely
ont of the kitchen-yes, out of the house.
You may 90 over TO Aunt Martha's and
spend the day, SO that the people that eat
the pie may be sure that L did it all my

fact about which Mr.. Prentice was SO
curious) Charley Adams is coming here

When Kate was alone she dill not cry.
She walked the floor with clenched fists,
and vowed eff she ever married again it
should be a man that never had mother"
And she felt so weary of the struggle, and
she cursed the whole race of men, and
stamped her pretty foot, and bit her lips,
and said, ''they were thankless wretches!''
And she almost wished she had taught
school all her days, and never had any
| thing to do with any Of them. Then at
| last tears came, and after that of course
she felt better, and began to find excuses
for him, and said, after all, she knew he
| did not mean it. And then she tried to
think what she could do next, and then
she struck 4 bright idea, and she began
to smile-and long before Charley came
home she was gay as lark. At tea she
said:
Charley, how long before you can
have little resting spell?"
'Well, that's queer, Kate" said he. 81
told them at the store to-day that | was
| tired, and was going to take week ont
| think we'll run up in the country and
give mother surprise visit"
Hates heart was in her mouth. This
was just what she had planned, but was
SO fearful she couldn't bring it about.
Charley's mother was as rare woman
as {; cook, so to her Kate dared to tell al
her troubles.
''Now, mother dear" said she, Il know
that | make good things, but you know
nothing tastes to grown up folks rs it
does to chiIeren, and then no matter how
good anything is, Charley thinks it can't
be as good as his mothers, and it makes
me SO unhappy, and you must help me to
cure him.
They planned together how it should be
done, and the next day for dinner they
had chicken pie Charley threw up his
hat as he came in and beheld it.
"Now," said he, ''you will eat chicken
pie as is chicken pie!''
Come, Kate" said he as he helped
himself again and again, ''eat, eat, don't
you know that | always told you that no
body but my mother could make chicken
pie?''
When he had finished his dinner, he
said:
"Now, mother, why can't you teach
Kate to make as good chicken pie as you
do?''
THINK instead l must take lessons of
her. SAID his mother; 81 think she goes
a little ahead of me, my son, since this
pie you praise so much is her making not
mine ~
Though she said not word of reproach,
the look she gave him was better than a
volume of sermons, and in a moment
"therc fell from his eyes as if it had been
scales"
Since that day all Hates girlish dreams
of Glove in cottage" have been more
than realized, and when Charley Adams
speaks of cooks, he says
81 don't know of but one woman that
can beat my mother; that's my wife"
