AUF WIEDERSEHEN.
BY T. Il. ALDRICH.

H. H.. Ii.
Until we meet again. That is the meaning
Of the familiar words that men repeat
At parting in the street.
All, yes, till then! but when death inter-
vening
Rends us asunder, with what ceaseless pain
We wait for thee again
The friends who leave us do not feel the
sorrow
Of parting, as we feel it, who must stay
Lamenting day by day.
And knowing, when we wake upon the
We shall not find in its accustomed place,
The one beloved face.
1t were double grief, if the departed,
Being released from earth should still retain
A sense of earthly pain;
1t were double grief. if the true-hearted,
Who loved us here, should on the farther
shore
Remember us no more.
Believing i'll the midst Of our affections,
That death is a beginning, not an end,
We cry to them and send
Farewells. that better might be called pre-
dictions,
Being foreshadowings of the future, thrown
Into the vast unknown.
Faith overlaps the confines Of our reason,
And if by faith as in the old times was said
Woman received their dead
Raised up to life, then only for a season
Our partings are. nor shall we wait in vain
Until we meet again.

THE BOSTON GIRL.
By d. s. FOSTER.
1 told her of Il maid whose mind
Was filled with tender thoughts and fan
cies,
A lovely being Of the kind
They write about in old romances,
'.Knowest thou" said l, " this maiden fair,
Whose beauty doth my thoughts beguile z
She answered with q dreamy air:
"Well. should smile y
. Her checks possess the roses hue,
No form is daintier or completer,
No hair SO brown, no eyes so blue,
No mouth is tenderer or sweeter.
The favored youth who gains the hand
OF this dear girl will neer rogret it"
With modest grace she added: '' And,
Don't you forget it :"
"Oh thou dear mistress OF my heart,
My angel! let me kneel before thee,
And say how heavenly sweet thou art,
And how dcvoutly l adore thee"
She turned away her lovely head,
And with a languil look that fired
My soul, in murlnured accents said:
q You make me tired"

race track and Government street are
just splendid for drives. In case you
ever come to Baton Rouge you can avail
yourself of this information. They are
not shell-roads, and Pm glad Of it, be-
cause if an accident should Occur-as the
other evening to an unfortunate-no cuts
or bruises from the shells will annoy you.
You have only to get up and dust your
self and your new straw hat, look all
around, up and down the road, two or
three times, to be sure no one saw you,
then ride off with the feeling that you
know something the world does not
know.
Yesterday was Decoration Day at the
National Cemetery. The speakers stand
was artistically ornamented with flowers,
flags, ETC., provided by the ex-Federal
Association. The addresses were beauti-
ful-so full of true, sincere feeling, and
so impartial. The cemetery is really
lovely, with its rows of oak trees
stretching over the white tombstones,
where the fallen heroes have long slum-
bercd. A shell drive extends the whole
length, cleaning amid the trees and
flowers with dazzling whiteness. AS
listened to the words which fell from the
talented speakers lips, l wondered If
the spirits of those who had worn the
gray were not mingling with the long
file of spirit warriors that wore and died
in the blue, for only a narrow road divides
the National from the Magnolia Cemetery.
The same stars smile down nightly, with
impartial sweetness, on the two resting
places; the same breeze sweeps over
them all, kissing the flowers that bloom
with equal fairness on the sod above the
"blue and the gray" So ought we
to honor them equally, for all died i'll a
cause they loved, though different, and
who does not respect any man who
would sacrifice his life for what lie
deemed right, though we differ in
opinion:
| Much credit is due to Superintendent
| Page for the neat and orderly appearance
of the National Cemetery. It not only
elbows that he is the right man in the
right place, and faithfully discharges his
duty to the government, but it makes
his charge delightful place for the
people of Baton Rouge to mournfully
while away a leisure hour. 1t is to be
hoped that Mr.. Page will long be re-
tanned in his present position.

Mines iua Military Reservation.

WASHINGTON, November 3.-The rules
that have become laws in mining districts
as regards mining lands as recognized by
Congress are properly Of great value. Very
large amounts are invested in mines the
ownership of which rests solely upon the
possessory right referred to. 1t seems
where such right has attached to MIN
eral land in favor of lode mining claim
land during the continuance OF the claim;
that is to say 80 long as it nlaintains-in ae-
cQrdance with law, it becomes by forge Of
mining laWs appropriate to specific pur-
poses, nanelyi the development and work
ing OF u mine located aud unless Congress
otherwise provides, it cannot, while that
right exists, Notwithstanding the title
thereto remains III the Government, be set
apart by the executive for public uses. Ii
The possessory right of miners in the case
under consideration was full and complete
previous to the establishment of the mill
tary reservation OF Fort Maginnis, am of
the opinion, in conclusion, their claim
within the limits of the reservation was
without the authority Of law and could
not legally livest them Of such right or of
further right Gin company with the re-
quirements Of the statute concerning the
issuing Of patents for mining claims to
acQui e a title to the land.
