The Washington Monument.

TO Me People o. Tie United States.
The approach of the one hundredth
anniversary Of the nations birth viv-
idly brings before the mind of all
true lovers of the country the memo
ry Of him who was "first in war, first
in peace and first in the hearts of his
countrymen."
The monument to commemorate a
peoples gratitude to George Wash
ington has remained in an unfinished
condition for more than twenty years
under the shadow of National Capitol:
it is now ia feet, and when compile
ed will be 4S5 feet high-a plain and
simple oblisk, surrounded at the base
with a stone terrace ~ feet high and
2OG feet in diameter. The cost to
finish it is estimated at 100000,
In the name of gratitude, patriot
ism and national pride the Monument
Society renews its earnest appeal for
aid to discharge duty our country
owes to the brightest name in human
history.
What more fitting time for the
people throughout the length and
breadth Of our land to make their
greatful offerings to this noble work,
to show their reverence for the name
of the "Father Of his Country" than
this Centennial jubilee of universal
rejoicing for the possession of our
glorious free institutions and amazing
progress in all that makes and con-
stitutes an enlightened, powerful and
great nation?
We appeal to the ministers Of the
the gospel and Superintendents of
Sabbath schools to take up collec-
ion on Sunday, the I'd day of July
next, or on any convenient day before
or thereafter; above all, we appeal to
the sovereign people, the impregna-
BILE bulwark of the nations safety,
for the means of completing the mon
ument.
We respectfully request that all
contributions may be sent direct to
J. B. Smith, Treasurer of the Wash
ington National Monument Society,
at Washington, D. c.
We ask the liberal and patriotic
press of the country to keep this ap-
peal before the public up to the 4th
of July ensuing.

If Lazarus had lived to day-sot down in

And that mans dog had come along and

that he has,
He'd "station-house" poor Laz and lick the

Once, looking through little sheaf
ofpapers stored from girlhood's years,
CHANGED upon faded leaf
And read, half smiling, ha,f in tears,
This legend on the wrapping set
In delicate girl-writing small:
"Never this day, this leaf, forget"
And, 10! had forgot it all.
Nor could think with all my care
What 1t did ever mean, and so
slowly let the summer air
Watt il away, and watched 1t 20
With dreaming gaze. And is it thus,
mused, with this worlds JOY and grief:
"Neyer forget" it seems to US,
As wrote on my little sheaf;
When, 10! without our knowledge, curled
Our scroll of earth; its story small
Comes not into that higher world;
Besides-wc have forgot it all
