DECORATION DAY.

On this fair mern, when over all the land
Come softly gracious ones, with eyelids wet,
And on the soldiers grave, with reverent hand,
Lay lily and violet,
Who brings to thee, where DER thy fallen head
The Implying seasons Needless come and 60,
N wreath to deck thy lone and nameless bed,
Where Southern forests grow?
When ode and psalm and tuneful eloauence
Rehearse the deeds that kept the nation free,
And tears rain fast in love and reverence
Who drops a tear for thee?
Perchance, where thou dost rest, the orioles
psalm
Floats light above thee, and the sweet-brier lay.
Her perfumed cheek en- thine. When nights are
calm,
And all the stars ablaze,
Perchance the dew dstills her patient tears
Upon thy breast: or, from the o'erhanging tree
4 dreaming bird, disturbed by midnight fears,
Shakes down soft drops on thee.
l may not know. Afar thou Hest, and lone,
Nor love nor grief thy burial-place may see;
But the wide earth, my lost, yet still my own,
Holds but thy grave for me!

As he stepped on board the boat that law
SO high and dry. Come now be spry:
Wen land at Jerusalem by and byr'
Away they sailed, and each craft they hailed.
While down IN the cabin they bailed and bailed
For the sea was rough and they had to huff
And tack, till the Captain cried out Enough
They stopped at Peru. this jolly crew.
And went to Paris and Timbuctoo;
And after awhile they found the Nile.
And watched the sports of the crocodile.
They called on the Shah and the mighty Gar.
And on all the crowned heads near and far:
Shook hands with the Cid-they really did!
And lunched on top of the pyramid.
To Afric's strand, OF northern land
lhey steer as the Captain gives command;
And fly so fast that the slender mast
Goes quIverlng, shivering in the blast!
Then on the ground with sudden bound
Leaps yack-twas mercy he wasn't drowned,
The sail is furled, the anchor hurled
We've been" cry the children, all round the

Yet never a soul on board was lost
Though the boat be a sieve, | do not grieve.
They sail on the ocean of make-believe"

NEAL Dow says that in spite of all
that has been said against the Maine
law it has been successful. "Liquor
has absolutely vanished from three
fourths of Maine, in the country dis
tricts. 1t fingers a little in the dark
places of the city among the foreign
population. Maine, before the law,
consumed annually Sl3,OO0,000 worth
of liquor. 1t now expends less than
S1,000,000 year for liquor. The six
ty-eight distilleries no longer exist.
The effects can be seen in better homes,
better farms, and better living. Maine
has not felt the panic as you have. Its
real estate valuation has risen, against
depression in other States. Maine
calls on the other States to follow her
example, and they will find safety and
protection from the liquor traffic"

IT is a gratifying evidence of re-
stored confidence in the ability and
purpose of the nation to meet its
obligations that people of small
means are now investing in Gov
erment securities to an extent never
before known. The number Of
bonds Of the smaller denominations
issued under the present four per
cent. loan is threefold greater than
in the loans of 1862 and 1865, there
being issued $500 small bonds to
each 940 of those of the larger de-
nominations. 1t is safe inference
that the number of holders OF
bonds Of small denomination has
also Increased three told. An ex-
animation of the registered por-
tons Of the same loans diScloses
that there are over five times as
many $50 bonds, about three times
aS many 500, aud two aud one
halt times as many S20o, as in either
OF the other loans.

GET. ROBERT PATTERSON.

Mr. EDIToR.-It has been the custom of
one of our property holders. Gen. Robert
Patterson of ofPhiladelphia, for the past twenty
years to give a Dime to the Aztec Club ev-
cry year in honor Of the anniversary of the
capture Of the City of Mexico by the United
States army Of not more than ten thousand
men, ''who marched over two hundred miles
from Vera Cruz to the center of country of
over two million inhabitants and took their
chief city," The club was formed in Mexico
in 1917 by the officers Of the army under
Gen. Scott
On the 18th Of September twenty-five
members from different parts of the United
States came together to this dinner. They
were Generals Patterson, Beauregard, Buch-
anan, Hancock, Preston, Cady, Hooker,
Hagner, Porter Forrer, Berry, Blake, Sykes,
Schuyler, Hamilton, Barnard, Palmer, Alvord
Wilcox, Frost Capt. HaidcastIe, Surgeon
Simonds and Professor Coppee. Gen. Pat
tersoE was elected President The club then
amended their constitution so as to make the
organization perpetual. From their own
choice they never had a membership Of more
than 100 The club now numbers about
seventy-fye members 4 good many have
been carried off by old age and many more
by the late civil war. Gen. Patterson him
self is the oldest member now living, being

IF You MEAN No, SAY No
When man has made up his mind
to do or not to do anything, he
should have the pluck to say so,
plainly and decisively. 1t is mis-
taken kindness-lf meant as kind
ness-to meet request you have
determined not to grant, with
''I'u see about it," or "I'll think the
matter over,n or 81 cannot give
you a positive answer now; call in
few days and I'll let You know"
1t may be said, perhaps, that the
object of these ambiguous express
ions is to let the applicant down
easy;" bat their tendency is to
give him useless trouble and anxiety,
ana possibly to prevent his seeking
what he requires in a more propiti-
ous quarter, until after the golden
opportunity has passed. Moreover,
it is questionable whether the mo-
tives Tor such equiyocation are as
philanthropic as some people sup
pose. Generally speaking, the in
diyidual who thus avoids a direct
refusal, does so to avert himself
pain. Men without decision Of
character have an indescribable
aversion to say "No." They can
think "No"-sometimes when it
would be more creditabIe to their
courtesy aud benevolence to say
"Yes"-but they dislike to utter the
bold words that represent their
thoughts. They prefer to mislead
and deceive. 1t is true that these
bland and considerate people are
often spoken of as every gentle
manly" But is it gentlemanly to
keep man in suspense fof days,
and perhaps weeks, merely because
you don't wish to put him out by a
straightforward declaration He is
only a gentleman who treats his
tellowmen in a gentlemanly straight,
forward way. Never seem by am
biguous words, to sanction hopes
you do not intend to CRAFTY. Il
you mean No. out with it.

No RooM THERE.-A belated
and rather poverty stricken foot
traveller, whose railway ticket was
good on all country roads and
cattle paths, stopped at a small man
sion of apparently four rooms and a
kitchen, in the South Hill suburbs
the other evening, to beg a nights
lodging. AS he stood timidly
knocking at the halfopened door,
he heard the shrill, commanding
tones of the lady of the house dis
posing the garrison for the night:
Tommy, 90 hunt up Charley and
Ben and tell them to go to the gro
Gerry and tell your father to bring
Ella and Willie right home; it's their
bed time, and if they see Louise on
the way send her to Miss Crozier' s
for Alice and Jim, and see if they
know where Ezra is; you take this
lamp up to grandma's room and
ask her il she won't take care of
baby while | go and find Dick
and while | am gone you undress
Mable and put her TO bed, and if
cousin Harry comes while I am
gone tell him to sleep with you"
And the traveller sighed and turned
away SO oppressed with a feeling of
overcrowdedness that he walked
out in the country and slept all
night in the middle of prarie nine
mics long.-BurIington Haaoheye
