LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
sThe Soldiers FRIEND Endorsed.

To the Editors of the Appeal:
l desire to express my hearty indorse-
ment of the timely and sensible words Of
''The Soldiers Friend in to-day's APPEAL
AS an active CO worker for many years in
the decoration of the graves Of the Con-
federate dead, / have often felt deeply
disappointed that many whose co-opera-
ton we had expected should expend their
efforts wholly in the decoration of private
lots. At the beginning of these memo
rial ceremonies the decorations of the
graves were touchingly observed. The
bereavement was fresh and moved the
hearts of all, but for the past few years
the poor soldiers have by many been for
gotten, while private lots rival each other
in their floral displays. Now let all deter
mine, without parade, to make the decora-
ton next Saturday the most successful OF
all, and to that end let everyone devote
his or her offering that day solely to beam
tifving the little mounds beneath which
sleep the fallen heroes Of the lost cause.
As your correspondent so fsrcibly says,
"Women Of the South, surely, surely, you
will give your flowers one day in the year
to honor in sad remembrance the soldiers"
In difference to the scruples of many, the
day was changed from Sunday to Satur-
day afternoon, and certainly all who re-
we're the memory of our brave fallen SOL
diers can, by their presence and flowers,
make the occasion al that the warmest
sympathizer could desire. Let everyone
consider it his or her duty, without form
or ceremony, to carry the floral offerings
and distribute on the graves of soldiers.
This example. once adopted, will be perma-
nently observed. MRS. t. J. LATHAM.

I know maiden through whose loving soul
The waves OF angry passion never roll;
FAST as they arise she lulls them fast asleep,
While love flows on In currents strong and
deep.
Faith, Hspe. and Love, her sister sraces
three,
where'er she moves do bear her company.
dod sends such stars our heavenward path 10
hight.
When some complained because their way
grew dark,
strewn with dead hopes pale eorpses cold
and stark,
heard her whisper to her sisters three,
Send them new faith and hope and love
through me-"
She said no more, but on her brow serene
The print OF patient purpose could be seen;
And In her eye the light OF love shone bright
AS Venus leading in the host OF Night.
Her home grew brighter; nor that home
alone
The whole horizon frightened where she
shone:
Now as the Evening Star in Sorrows night,
And now as harbinger OF morning light.
God bless such daughtersl may their number
grow
Till all the homes of earth their influence
know.
And grateful parents everywhere confess
The saving grace of final tenderness.

Diplomacy, According to "Monsieur."

The French Figaro publishes the fol-
lowing amusing incident, which is said
to have taken place during one of the
state dinners at Berlin, and at which
the late Lord Beaconsfield and the Mar
quis of Salisbury were present:
Prince Bismarck, who is well known
to be a great eater, filled his plate with
cherries; the Marquis of Salisbury OBJ
served it.
Prince" said he suddenly, "what
you are doing is very unhealthy"
WHAT" said Prince Bismarck, in
establishment.
"You have just swallowed two cher
ry-stones.
you are mistaken" said the Prince,
with marked GOODNESS.
"Neverr' replied Salisbury, with that
hauteur which characterizes the proud
English aristocracy.
Monsieur lie Marquisr' said Bis
marck, his eyes shooting fire.
II was at this moment that Lord Bea-
consfield came to the rescue.
Perhaps" he insinuated, in his
softest voice. '.you are both right; your
Highness must be so occupied with SER
ious thoughts that you might inadvert-
emily have swallowed tiny stone.
"Twor' interrupted Salisbury, in a
decided tone.
'Or two," continued Lord Beacons-
field as calmly as possible; land you,
my dear Lord and colleague, enjoy
such good sight that nothing escapes
you. Now, Prince and Marquis, will
you allow me to decide this difficult
question:"
"HowP" murmured Bismarck.
Your plate, Highness, if you
please"
This last was in English, the CORES
pendent adding that Lord Beaconsfield
was the only diplomatist at Berlin who
never talked French. The plato was
sent to Lord Beaconsfield, who at once
emptied the contents on the table. All
eyes were now fixed on him. With his
long, bony, agile fingers, covered with
precious stones, he began to arrange
what looked more like child's game
than an occupation worthy of such a
distingu she'd Minister. He put all the
stones in IA line, and placed stem on
each stone. Then in that clear, pierre
ing voice that has so often moved the
House OF Commons, the English Prime
Minister began to count one, two,
three, an SO on to forty-seven stones,
and likewise with the stems till he had
counted forty-nine. The proof was
there-two stones were wanting.
Bismarck rose and said in an agitated
voice: Marquis, you are rightr' then,
furninU said in a loud voice. s,T ord
Beaconsfield, you are great mani
