small cannon to his breast and touch

Where sleeps some lonely soldier brave,
Sigh softly DER the spot
Rustic the wild, long grasses there,
And through thy chambers vast awake
The echoes Of his parting prayer
Who died for Freedoms sake

There, in the dawning gray and dim;
And in the cleaning still and fair
Sing there your vesper hymn
Over that aforementioned grave
4 sweet memorial make;

For ilowers may weep and die for him.
Who died for Freedoms sake
Take roses In both hands, and strew
The graves of those to honor known;
But, oh! one tender thought is due,
To HIM who died alone!
Alone, with none but God to see
The young, brave soul his bondage break
And yet, he fought for Liberty,
And died for Freedoms sake!

Advice to Young Married People.

The Culver for June.
"Drive gently over the stones!'
This piece of advice, which is frequent
ly given to inexperienced whips, may
DO respectfully suggested to the newly
married. There are stony places on
the road to happiness, which. if not
carefully driven over may upset the do
nestle coach. The first rock ahead
which should be marked dangerous"
is the first year Of married life. Here
especially. is the first step that costs
as rule, the first year either mars OF
makes marriage. During this perIo cd
errors may ba committed which will
cast shadow over every year that fol.
lows.
On awakening from sleep we feel put
out and rather cross. May not the
young husband and wife experience
feelings not entirely different when
they awake to reality from the
dreams of courtship and the fasination
of the honeymoon Everything must
once more be contemplated at the ordi
nary manner of the world; once more
with subdued feelings spoken of, con-
sidered, and settled. For the first
time, husband and wife see each other
rs they actually are. Each bring GER
tain pecularities into the married state
to which the other has to grow accus-
toned. They have now no longer to
live for themselves, but for each other,
and the lesson is not learned in mo-
ment. In all things Indifferent the hus-
band and wife must be willing to yield
however new it may be to them, how
ever different from what they them
selves thought. Self must be sacrificed
in order thereby to gain the help Of
another beloved existence. A lady
once asked DIR. johnson how in his
Dictionary he came to define pastern
the knee of horse; he Immediately
answered, Ignorance, madame, pure
ignorance This is simply the e1pla-
nation of many an accident that takes
place at the commencement of the mat
rimonial journey. The young couple
have not yet learned the dangerous
places of the road, and, as conse-
quence, they drive carelessly over them.

A Hint to the Girla

There are more chances of making a
passable husband out of fool or crank
than out of drunkard or vicious per-
son. The fool, if not too egotistical, or
too silly for anything at all, can usually
be led, coaxed, or driven, but the vic
ious person cannot. The woman who
undertakes to reform a man in order
to get husband has undertaken task
that is not successfully accomplished
one time in thousand In the first
place man who needs to be reformed
before he is fit for companion is lack
ing in some of the elements which are
necessary in the makeup of even an
average man.

parnsolS.

Parasols are of a piece with the mil.
inery. They have been growing
more pronounced for the past three
years and have reached the acme. The
sateen parasols for country wear are
printed on brilliant tulip, rose, and
daffodil patterns. The richer styles
are not only in high colors but embroid-
cred and contrasted with decorative fam
cies in crazy fashion that suggests the
freaks of lunatics rather that serious
intention.
The finest parasols are the black OF
cream satin covered with plated gauze
or real Spanish lace, with ivory or ebony
handles and hammered gold or silver
tops.
This year lace is used for cover or
a full deep border put on fiat but not as
q rutlle. Sometimes the lace cover
falls over the edge of the foundation
silk or satin, but it does not greatly en-
large it.

Fruit Eaters need No poctors.

We were struck recently by the re-
marks of doctor friend of ours who
said no one thing would do SO much to
make people independent OF the medi-
cal profession as the daily use of fruit.
He had noticed that those farmers In
whose families fruit was regularly and
largely consumed. seldom needed his
services. we thought what a pity
every farmer in the land could net be
convinced of these truths. It is o
deplorable fact that the farmers fami-
