Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in a communica-
ton to the Republican journal of Belfast, Me-.
speaking of the general observance of Memorial
Day, adds: May it so continue, and when the
veterans who now compose the Grand Army
shall have passed away, one by one. to Join
their comrades who crossed the dark river be-
fore them, may other hands carry on the work
of decorating the graves the nation honors and
keep ever green the memory of the dead.
Scatter the floral tributes
over the thickening graves
On the srn-klssed air, unstatned and fair,
Our splendid banner waves
Freedom grows well in our country's soil,
Behold how it blooms and thrives
Hut we must not forget that Its roots were wet
With the blood of million lives
The Boston Journal from which we quote
as above, has unwittingIy fallen into an error.
The journal has not been favored with a COM
munlcation from Mrs. Wilcox, but closed an
article on Memorial Day with d verse from
one of her poems, giving due credit therefor
The error is not serious one however. Mrs.
Wilcox probably would not disavow the senti-
ments expressed by the Republican journal,
and we should be glad to accept the response
biIity with all that would imply, of writing so
admirable a poem the one quoted.

Man, What are You Good For :


Mans inhumanity to man is some
times somewhat astonishing. But
mans inhumanity to himself is the
more astonishing. Our dignity is Of
ten imperiled by the light esteem we
have for ourselves. We lose self
pride in mock imitation of what we
would be, and in consequence comes
the great failures Of lie. The great
vessels created by man that pillow the
deep ripping waters of the ocean are
not propelled by others Of thier kind,
but with force added to the different
structures are they made to move.
We each have capacity sufficient to
carry us through the emergencies of
life if we only balance and satisfy
ourselves with the the thing we are
fitted for. As it is natural for water
to ripple down the descending valley
and enter into the great body of wa
ters, so it is natural and right that
the human structure should have a
natural course of its own, which, il
allowed, will move smoothly on
through time. Having due knowl'
edge of all this, and recognizing oul
superiority to ali earthly things, lei
US not, in trying to be the other fell
low, lose respect for ourselves and die
without an actual identity. Man
find what you are good for, and d.
that which is good.

poor of Columbus 1t will be re.
membered that the Swift Specific Co.
has donated quite an amount Of their
famous medicine, to be distributed
by Mr.. Campbell among. the poor of
the city, hence his remark. He said:
Il have Just seen a lady who has
been greatly annoyed by letter in
one Of her hands. 1t had given her
much trouble and pain. She said she
had been treated by several physicians
during the past three or four years
with the old remedies, but without
giving any relief. | suggested Swift'S
Specific, and she took four bottles,
and is now apparently well. Her
hand is smooth and not a single sign
of the disease is left. 1t is marvellous
how this medicine renovates the sys-
tenn"
"What about the other case?"
"Well, that was lady also. She
had been badly affected with eczema
for four years. Her face, hands and
arms, as we'll as her body, were COW
cred with sores and scabs. 1t was
one of the worst cases of this terri
BILE disease that | have ever seen.
The suffering of this poor creature
was beyond expression. She tried
every remedy at hand, including mer'
curry and iodide of potash, but she
only grew worse. She was in this
condition when / first saw the case
I soon had her taking Swlft's Specific
and she has now taken only two bot
ties, but every mark of the disease
has now almost entirely disappeared
Her general health has greatly i'm

which affect humanity. Blood dis
eases are the most numerous and TIL
most difficult to remove. To over

Will some one, who is familiar with

that the time taught in the schools
outside of Milan lis shorter than for

If an increase of taxation diminishes
the time of our country schools, as it
