Beauty


By Charlie W. Croasdalc
Is Beauty in earth's palaces of gold
Meath purple robes that royalty doth
wear?
Ali this alone with glistening wealth
untold.
Reveals the fact that they do make the
fair.
And thoughtless youth their brilliancy
behold,
And often charm him with alluring
glare:
But ali is nought that only fades at last
To darkness, sorrow, remorse and blank
despair.
Yon gilded dome now flashes on the air,
A proudly radiant, scintillating beam,
And vies with orbs that olothe the moon
light glare
In splendid gaib of Oriedtal sheen.
Like shining steel once glistening cold and
bare,
In darkest realms of dismal leaden
mien;
So flashing gold, thou must thy beauty
seek
Beneath that towering crest in rust Of
time antique.
Oh, stars of night; that deck the heavenly
realm,
And shine on us SO tender and so true
Oh, restless waves, that roll and over
whelm
Each fading tint of oceans peerless
blue;
Oh, wise and solemn, grand and lofty
elm
Does perfect beauty only hide in you9
| No. time will como, SO cruel and serene
And end your glory, as fades a pleasant
dream. .a

SoFely Annoyed.

A certain young gentleman of this town,
well and lavorably known in business
and social circles, was the victim of much
trouble by being kept awake, some
nights ago, by the conversation of two
late-stay-ups. The scene is laid in pop.
ular hotel here, and the chaps who
caused the sleeplessness of the above
mentioned gentleman, were none other
than hack custodian and an assistant
clerk of the hotel. Each seemed to have
some romantic and thrilling story to re-
hearse, and each was bent on putting
loud emphasis on certain portions Of
their yarns, all to the chagrin of the poor
fellow who was vainly endeavoring to
court sleep. At last the conversation
ceased, and the tormented would-be-
sleeper gently sighed. turned over, closed
his eyes and fell into peaceful slumber.
1t was only momentarily. The two con-
versational tormentors had again launch
ed forth INTO renewed and ceasoless talk,
talk. This was too much for the poor
fellow, and he rolled out of bed, rushed
to the window, threw up tho sash, threw
his body partly out of the window, and
his attitude indicated suicide. Those
that witnessed the scene stood spell
\ bound and horrow-stricken, expecting
every moment to see the fatal plunge
made. But the pain was spared them,
as the body Of tho poor fellow slowly
receded, and the last glimpse seen of the
figure, it was chasing some fugitive
mosquitoes which had taken refuge in his
room. All the while the deadly CONVERSE
tion was kept up,

A Horsey Man Left,

1t was always so. It will ever continue
to be-the fellow who thinks he can do
such great things often gets left in the
attempting. This time it was handler
of pair of rcins over fractions horse.
Oh, no, horse never got away from him
at least before this time, lie was talk
ing drive with the "critur" few days
ago, when suddenly the "animile" shyed,
reared, plunged, bucked and snorted.
The fellow who never was left before
picked himself up out of the road, with
sprained ankle, damned joints and in an
unpleasant frame Of mind. Many will
not recognize, perhaps, the chap we
speak of in this notice, Well, his first
name is Charles. We were extremely
sorry to hear of this gentleman's mishap,
and heartily extend our sympathy. For
further particulars, call ON the gentleman
in person, and he will undoubtedly rise
and explain the whole thing satisfactorily.

The steady increase in the number of
cases adjudieated at the Pension Office from
week to week is convincing proof that Com
missioner Dudley is man of his word and
that his announced intention to dispose of
all unsettled claims within the next three
years was no idle promise. 1t win be seen
by reference to the official statement of the
Pension Office at the head of our editorial
columns that the number of original
claims disposed of last week was 1851,
against but LOIS for the week previous, or
nearly double the number adjudicated
during the first week of the present year.
1t is evident that Commissioner Dudley's
new force is now in excellent working order
and, as its efficiency increases, we may look
for still larger allowances. This is what it is
to have at the head of the Pension Bureau
an honest and capable executive, instead of
heartless and self-seeking obstructionist.

The arrival in this country, last week, of
the ashes Of john Howard Payne, the author
of Home, Sweet Home" has served to call
the attention of the present generation to
tie ingratitude of the last
sren cities claimed tine poet dead.
Through which the living poet begged his bread"
end it was the fate Of poor Payne in bitter
raockery of his verse, to die in want and dis
tress many thousands ofmiles away from any
place he could call home. Tt is very sad and
touching and all that, and his countrymen
are very ready now 20 eulogize his merits,
but really it is pity that this appreciation
was not manifested little sooner 1t was
a graceful and kindly thought which
p:eiapted the philanthropist Cercoran to re-
inter the bones Of the exile in his native
lard, and we do not wish to detract from
the merit Of the performance, but it is meme
the less a painful reminder Of the cold neg
lect and stony Indifference which were once
bis portion. Poor Payne was not a great
genius; he was not great poet; bat he put
into words the universal cry Of the Lulaan
heart, and that is enough to win for any
man immortal fame. He deserved better OF
his countryInen iilan 1t was his los to fare

A SOLDIERS wife, residing at Burton, Ohio,

A SOLDIERS wife, residing at Burton, Ohio,
writes us as follows:
THE cry comes from the very bottom of our
hearts, Why we, the wives of soldiers, not con-
sidered fit candidates for admission to the Grand
Army? During the war the patriotic women of the
North rendered invaluable assistance to the Gov
eminent in suppressing the rebellion. What we
sacrificed every eomrade knows as well as l.
There drawing of the line in those days
Why should there be now? We feel as if our hus-
bands no longer appreciated US and it makes our
hearts bleed afresh. Why not admit to your
councils just as you used do and set US adrif
now? / know we growing old, but we love
our soldier boys and country just as well as
ever, and just well as they do. Our place is ut
our husbands sides, and there they ought to be
proud to have us. Oar cry is, Don't, oh don't
leave us out now. Let US help you in your work
You viii be all the wiser and better for it,
This letter doubtless expresses tire senti-
ments of good many other soldiers wives
beside the writer We can understand the
feeling which prompts such an appeal, and
we honor it. It is perfectly natural that a
true and devoted wife, who sacrificed per-
haps the best years of her life in battling for
the support of her little family at a time
when its lawful protector was battling with
treason in the field, should resent her excIu-
sion from the Grand Army. Having brayely
borne her share of the suferings which war
imposed upon the soldier and his family,
she would be less than human did she not
feel that her rights were equal TO her hus-
bands. We honor her, as we have said, for
entertaining sucl feeling It is good
thing we, think, for the Grand Army that it
exists, and, furthermore, we believe it oueht
not to be ignored. 1t is for that reason that
we have SO rersistently urged the establish

seriousness of the fact.

seriousness of the fact.
But the author of "Home, Sweet Home"
is not the only one who has suffered from
ingratitude, nor are our own times exempt
from its manifestation. The day will doubt
less come when the Nation will hold at
their true value the services of the Union
soldier, but how many veteran to-day is
suffering from its forgetfulness! In another
age the ingratitude of which the soldier is
now the victim will be deplored as sin
cerely as the present age depiores the I'M
necessary hardships which Payne endured,
but regrets are vain which are spoken only
at the tomb.
1t is lesson which every patriotic citizen
should take to heart. If we would spare
ourselves the reproaches of future genera
lions, we should be just and generous to the
defenders of the Union while yet it is within
our power TO recompense them. The time
is coming when they will be beyond the
range of human help, and cur gratitude viii
not reach beyond the grave.
