pines, bore down to the carnage the faster.
Lay calmly to rest with the face to the foe in the
gloom of direr disaster.
Before this mute image of grandeur, dear sons of
the commonwealth. tarry!
For here Were the virtues that nations extol, the
gTaees that princes should carry;
The courage to toll, and the life without SOIL the
hliai faith and the argeSs.
OF spirit that follows where fealy leads the fire OF
her furious charges;
The hero place and the hero to plan in the whirl
of the nladdening clamor,
Where the brayest turn pale and the boldest are
dumb and the lips of the eloquent stammer.
Aye, taFry and study, the models few and the
men of his mould are fast falling
Bow down in the dust when ye list to their names,
their mighty achievements recalling.
Dear land of our love- dear land of our hopes, till
tie pride OF the patriot perish,
The deeds they have wrought and the fame they
have won, in the heart of our hearts we viii
cherish.
The valleys we till and the mountains we scale
that girdle the zone of the Nation
Are greater and grander because they ran red with
the wine OF their souls conservation,
And the hopes of the brave, and the loves of the
true, and the arm of each earnest endeaTor,
IN the of their greatness shall ripen and yield
in the cycles of memory ever;
In the purpose to dare and the courage to bear in
the glory of high aspiration.
In the clasp of the hand and the fight of prayer in
the beauty OF pure alteration.
o Jamie Mcpherson Jamie Mcpherson, when
men of thy model He givdth,
Eye looks unto eye, and heart calls unto heart
Though darkness be over God liveth,''
So the weak are made bold and the strong are held
true, and rift rends the storm-clouds that lower,
And the smile of love that embraces the world
falls down in scintillate shower;
o Jamie Mcpherson, Jamie MCPHERSON. We

Ohio, thy fond mother, blesseS to-day the grace
thou hast showered upon her,

Let the marble and bronze tell the deeds of his
fame. and the lily and rose how we love him,
While the grasses grow greener that over him wave
the breezes blow biither above him.
For the seasons may come and the seasons may CO.
and the lilies and roses may cover,
But stateier chief faithfuller friend shall
ride down with the knight and the lover.
In the sleet and in the snow, in the and the

Bronze soideri keep guard for the type it is true

Keep watch and keep ward. while our sons shall

ELLETTsvILLE, ND, October s, 1883.
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Knowing your readiness TO answer all questions
in regard TO the workings of Ladies Auxiliary
Societies thought would venture TO ask a few:
First If our society was 20 give enter;ain-
ent would it be proper for our treasurer 10 collect
all money at tlta. time, giving no receipt for the
same, SHOULD she have waited until our next
meeting. it being few days after?
Second. Was II right for the treasurer TO pay all
bills for expenses until it had been taken up in
proper order at the regular meeting of the society
and acted upon and the treasurer ordered to pay
Third. If our executive committee receive do
nation in cash should they hand the same to treas
urer and receive receipt for it? Or should they
wait until the next regular meeting and report the
same TO the society aud turn over TO neasurer?
Fourth. Can we be called an Auxiliary to the G.
a. K. unless consult with them Ought we not TO
make reports to the G.. A. r. concerning nan-
cial condition from time TO time?
Fifth. In case the society should disband, what
should be done with the money In the treasury {?
/ think it ought to be turned over TO the g. A. r.
On the other hand some of members claim not
We would like TO hear through the columns of
THE TRIBTSE.
We have an excellent Post of the G. A. R. here.
They cannot receive too much praise for their
good works May they gain strength at every
meeting. SOLDIERS WIFE.
ANSWER TO "a SOLDIERS WIFE"
First. It is not very clear what moneys are
intended. If by moneys" is meant the pro-
treasurer, unless the entertainment had a f.
nance committee, to receive the same, account
ing for the amount so received at the next
meeting. She might also give receipts when
SO required by the parties turning over the
same, or by the heads of committees.
Second. 1t was not right for the treasurer to
pay all bills for expenses until they had been
taken up in their proper order, unless specially
directed by the president, in cases requiring
immediate payment.
Third. The executive committee should pay
all funds directly TO the treasurer, the report
of the treasurer to the society being the only
voucher they should require. The executive
committee should also make a written report
from time to time to the society
Fourth. No association of women can be
properly called auxiliary to the G. 4. K. un-
less they have been duly recognized by the
Post, with which they should at all times CO
operate, making reports from time TO time OF
their work.
Fifth In case an Auxiliary should disband,
their funds on hand should, after the payment
of all claims, be turned over to the Post.
From the questions asked By our intelligent
correspondent we take it that the Ellettsvile
Auxiliary has not yet completed its organiza.
ton. They should apply for Relief Corps
charter. when all their duties VIII be fully
made plain. again, we would impress upon
our Auxiliaries of whatever name that they
are in the true sense but helpers of the Posts
and should confer with and cooperate with
them IN ali that pertains to their common
work.
