IN TEE RANKS o. TIE GRAY.


The following poem. written few years ago.
bya young lady Of Middle Tennessee, is worthy
the gifted pen Of Father Ryan,
1t lies there alone; it is rusted and faded;
With patch ON the elbow. a hole in the side.
But we think of the brave boys who wore it,
and ever
Look on 1t with pleasure, and touch it with
pride.
A history clings to It; over and over,
We see proud youth hurried on to the fray.
With his form like the oak, and his eyes like
the eagles;
How gallant he rode in the ranks of "the
gray"
It is rough 1t is worn, 1t is tattered in places,
But I love 1t the more for the story it bears
A story Of courage in struggle with sorrow;
And 3 heart that bore bravely its burden OF
cares:
It fs ragged and dusty, and ahI IL was shining g
In silkiest sheen when he bore 1t away,
And his smile was as bright as the glad sum-
mer morning
When he sprang to his place in the ranks Of
'the gray"

IT'S thing Of the past. and We reverently lay

As the gifts Of love, solemn, sweet, and out
spoken,
And cherished as leaves from long vanished
day,
We will keep the old jacket for the sake Of the
loved one
Who rode in the van in the ranks Of "the
gray
Shot through with bullet-right here in the
shoulder.
And down there the pocket Is splintered and
soiled.
All! more! see. the lining is stained and dis
colored;

Charging down in the battle one deadliest

When squadron of foemen were broken asun.

And victory rode with the ranks Of "the
gray"
Its memory is sweetness and sorrow commin-
gled,
To me it is precious-nore precious than
" gold;
In the rent and shot holes q vol ume is written
In the stans of the lining is agony told;
That was twelve years ago. when in life's sum
ny morning
He rode with his comrades down into the
fray,
And the old coat he wore. and the good sword
he welded
Were all that came back from the ranks OF
''the gray"
And it lies there alone; will reverence it
ever
For gallanter heart never breathed than the
loved one
Who wore 1t in honor and soldierly pride;
Let me brush off the dust from its tatters and
tarnish,
Let me fold it up closely and lay it away
1t is all that is left of the loved and lost one.
Who fought for the right in the ranks Of "the

THE Observation-Disclosures is beau
tiul is refining. Whether In nature or
In art, the presence of the beautiful soft
ems and purifies. But let no young lady
fall into the blunder of supposing that
only that which is expensive can ever
be beautiful. It is labor, care, skill, an
artistic eye. and a refined taste that
beautify. Whether in home or in dress.
in speech or in manners, money Is not
the thing which provides the beautiful.

The Rev. DR.. John Brown, of Bed
ford, England, now trav cling in this
country, is q successor to John Bunyan,
author Of the "Pilgrim's Progress" in
his pastorate, and Is only the sixth min
lister that church has had since lts or
ganization. $50 years ago. What cone
trast is suggested in the comparison of
this age with that in which "the i'm
mortal dreamer" lived! Fourteen years
in Bedford jail-that "den" to which he
came for preaching ths truth as he be-
lieved twas q poor recompense for
the service he had rendered to the world.
And yet, if there had been no Bedford
Jail, and no religious prosecutions in
Bunyan's day, the world would never
have been blessed with the greatest and
most widely read of all uninspired
books, "The Pilgrims Progress" How
grandly old England has moved for
ward in the direction of liberal Chris
tianity since Bunyan's day, and how
she honors his memory now, that the
place of his sepulchre, in what Southey
called the Campo Santo of dissenters, ia
one of her sacred shT.nes, which people
from all lands repair to, TO do honor to
the stout old Puritan who accepted
bonds and imprisonment rather than do
violence to his conscience. Even the
march Of improvement, in that greatest
city in the world-crowded, busy Lon
don-which has demanded that oldIBun-
hill Field, where the great Evangelist
and his associates rest, shall be made q
mart of trade and merchandise, has not
been sufficient to overcome the nations
repugnance to the removal of the re-
mains of 'the immortal dreamer" from
where they now lie securely under the
comparatively new tomb reared by the
Earl Of Shaftsbury.-Lynch6nry Vir-

road, in which was seated the kind
hearted Quaker before mentioned. He
stopped his horse, and heard distinctlv
the language Daniel used. AS he cloeed
his solil0quy, he turned and saw Thoma,
Edgert0n, who said:
"Daniel, does thee mean to keep thy
vow ?"
"Yes, friend Edgerton, do,n
"Thee has promised q great MANY
times thee'd drink no more: what
makes thee think thee will keep thy
vow this time?n
II know. friend Edgerton, I have of.
ten vowed l would drink no more; but
now feel different from what have
felt before; my heart is almost broken,
and feel my weakness, and I believe
God will help me this time"
"God grant that it may be 50! Daniel,
get in and take seat. Thee must be
hungry; go home with me-" -
On the way the Quaker drew out of
him all that has been written, and he
advised him to 20 to California. He
told him to go to New York, and work
his way round the Cape. He decided to
do so. The Quaker kindly promised to
furnish him With suitable clothing.
"Thee would like to see thy wife and
children before thee goes! ]"
II should, but they have become so
estranged from me: II went, perhaps
they would not believe me. I think it
will be better they should not know
where am. I want to surprise them,
and hope to do so, by coming back q
sober man, and with money enough to
make them comfortable: I prefer that
you and your wife should be the only
no in hn hA ohn1
where I am, or what I am doing"
Thus, while riding toward the quiet
farmhouse of the Quaker, the whole
thing was arranged. When they had
reached the farm, the horse was put in
to the barn, and they entered the house.
As they seated themselves before the
fire, the Quaker said to his wife:
"Amy, thee can put on another plate;
Daniel will stay with US for q few
days and then he is going to California. "
The Good QUAKER felt confident Daniel
would keep his word this time. At the
end of few days all was ready. The
old horse was harnessed, and, before
Daniel Akin was on bis way
to the railway station he had not been
in the village since the night when the
words, mot drop more. Daniel,' were
uttered. He was missed from his Gus.
tomary haunts; but it was supposed he
had gone on q spree, and so nothing was
thought of his absence. No inquiries
were made, for all were glad he was mis-
sing, and cared not for his return.
