Sadly sweet is the service of Memorial Day,
and to those who can mark the graves of their
dead and lay their heart-oierings above them
it is a comforting though solemn privilege.
But let US remember those who know not
where their loved ones are sleeping. Let us
remember them with sympathy and love. Let
us strew the sweetest flowers in memory OF
those, unknown may be to men. but remem-
bered and blest of God. The following from
Mrs. Sherwood's volume of Campfire and Me-

My gallant, my brave, my own -
Out. out where the wild fern is growing,
And the pines through the long years moan,
And erst when the dead they have honored
With flowers and praiseiul song,

And murmured the whole day long.
But now have gathered the flowers,
And out where the lonely dove
Is making lament will strew them
Ger some other woman's love;
And may he in days that coming,
With sorrow her sweet eyes dim,
Some other sad one will be strewing

Mother-OEPearI.

On account Of its rarity, motherOf-
pearl has always been an object Of lux
ury. Before navigators discovered that
part of the world which is lost In the
immensity Of the Pacific, it was still
rarer than it Is now; it had more value,
perhaps, but It was assuredly neither
more sought for nor more priced. AT
present it is much employed in the
manufacture Of many objects. The

THE WHITE MAIDEN.

Her name, or where she came from, was
. mystery to all aboard.
A strange but beautiful little maiden
she was picked up from drifting, seal
skin canoe, near Hudson's Strait, BY the
crew Of the New London ship Apollo. 2
For many dayskhe lone ship, with ice
plated bow, had ainly cruised il quest
Of the missing sealing bark "Walrus, =
which was commanded by the searching
captains beloved young nephew, Carl
Refer. who, it was now feared was lost,
with oil bis men.
Queer enough it was to fall in with q
girl-waif afoat in this desolate region.
But little she seemed to heed the cold or
the gloom of the frosty cline. Merrily
did she laugh when shn saw the ship;
somehow her voice had the thinking
sounds Of drops Of ice FILLING upon the
waters Of crystal cave She wore q
coat Of white beaT-skin, and froma fur
cap Of the same material, her long, light,
Aaxen hair, powdered with the snow,
which was falling, hung to the hollow Of
her back.
Everything about her, except her eyes
and lips, looked white, from her jaunty
round hat To the soles Of her CATERS.
which were Of white seGlsxin. Her COM
plexion was like the snow itself, her skin
as smooth as ivory, and even her eyes
were Of light blue. but soft. brilliant,
and full of expression. And yet they
who caught the starry glances Of those
eyes felt as if q shaft Of ice had struck to
their very hearts.
Why WINS thisq It was hard question
10 answer, for never was maiden gifted
with lovelier features, Or with more
shapeIy head and face than she. and
never was naivette, with childlike inno-
cence Of MANNER more plainly shown by
girl Of fifteen.
s'How white she IS ~ said the captain
20 his second officer, Roberts "a dark.
handsome youth Of nineteen.
How white she isln muttered the
b0atswain. unensily.
"How white how white!n echoed all
the crew.
She could neither speak nor under
stand English, but she clapped her hands,
as If glad TO get aboard that ship.
The captain BIZ signs inquired i she
was not cold and hungry, and invited
her q the cabin, where she could warm
herself, and where the stewards wife
would procure her refreshments. She
scooped Up 3 little snow from The rall,
and minced II with her pea~ly teeth
Then she rubbed more snow over her
