have made it a success. They have wit, messed your disinterested services year after year and have appreciated them. They have enjoyed the benefits of the club, and are grateful for them, and | they feel that the time has come when in justice to their own feelings, at least, they ought to make some formal recog- milton of them. The question was, how to do it or what form 1t should take.
 If the question had been left to the masculine portion of the club they would naturally have suggested something that related to good square meal, but for 1 tunately the ladies had voice in the matter, and this only shows that woman suffrage is right and ought to be univer- sally extended With that excellent good taste which characterizes them in all matters of this kind, they determined to select some suitable token, winch would express to you better than any words-certainly any words of mine their appreciation of your generous ser vices in behalf of the club and of the interest you have taken in 1t, and which would hereafter as time passes away, be memorial of their gratitude and regard and of the very pleasant relations which you and they have sustained towards each other.
 Coming from members of book club, what could be more natural than that they should select for such token something in the shape of books and that these books should contain the lit erary productions of the great author and genius, who as dramatist or poet has scarcely peer in the literature of the world, and of whom another great poet has said: S He was the man, who of all modern and perhaps ancient poets, had the greatest and most comprehensive soul"
 As it was intended to give expression to their feelings and sentiments, what could better answer the purpose than the works of the great poet of nature, which present ''a faithful mirror of manners and of ife," and are key, we may say, to every feeling and passion and impulse of the human heart. And what could be more appropriate as a memento to lady friends than some vol umes in which are portrayed with mas terhand, the noblest attributes and characteristics of woman.-Such charac- ters as Imogen and Cordelia and Desde- mona and Rosalind and others.
 In this spirit and with such sen timents and for this purpose, they have selected these beautiful volumns, con- taining the complete works of the great Bard of Avon, " "Gentle Will Shake speare - Natures Child" and have charged me with the pleasant duty of presenting them to you, and asking your acceptance of them. Take them-with the best wishes of the donors for your future health, happiness, and prosperity.

 Again on May 30 the silent graves of the nations dead call to us for Memorial services.
 In this observance we not only com memorate those who died in the war for the preservation of the Union, but also ''All the sainted dead who fell in free dom's holy cause"
 The early fathers of New England suffered ''for freedom to worship God. " Later they threw off the yoke of oppres- sive tyranny and established ''a govern ment of the people, by the people, and for the people," And in the late war their sons fell to preserve to us all that had been won by the struggles of past generations, and to establish the princi- ciple so we'll expressed in the original Declaration of Independence 'as self evident truth, that all men are created free and equal.
 We therefore recommend that appro- priate dlscourses be preached in every town on the Sunday immediately pre- ceeding Memorial day, remembering in grateful homage the heroic dead.
 On the day appointed we earnestly desire that every town shall make some provision for planting flag and spread ing flowers on every loyal soldiers and sailors grave within its limits.
 It is the duty of the citizens to do this. It is the privilege of the c. A. R. to assist by all means to make the day holy.
 Let the children assist in this beauti- ful custom, and when the processions are formed secure a place for the ''Sons of the Veterans, whether they are or ganized or not. Thus will the coming generation be taught to love and defend their nations honor at whatever hazard to themselves. Let them see by your actions on that day | That the brave die never,-
 Being deathless, they but exchange | Thelr country's arms, for what Is more, their country's heart. 1 Give then the dead their due, "Iis they who saved us."
 By thus observing the day, coming generations will not speak of fratricidal strife and civil war. But the children of the Blue and Gray alike, shall arise to recount the deeds of valor in that war which made us one people, ,and removed l forever the lines which divided the nation.
 | And East and West, North and South, our children's children shall remember with pride our nations flag, and that | ssFor each bright stripe of ruby hue, For each bright star Tn field of blue 1 Ten thousand of our brave and true | Have laid them down and died
 
 l Will those members of the Grand Army who are detailed for that purpose 1 please see to it promptly that some re- i sponsible persons in each town are pre- pared to attend to this sacred duty of remembering the dead in appropriate i services.
 Please report before June 9, every town that has soldiers monument, and those that are preparing for the erection Of one; the manner in which the day is observed, and forward with your report any local press publications regarding the day to Rev E.
