the retreat of the Army Of North
ern Virginia begins. The 9th OF
April finds you hungry and foot
sore at Sailors's Creek. YOa are
surrounded on ali sides. Clusters
Cavalry Division is in your
front, and two corps of Federal in
fantry in your rear. You make
a desperate effort to cut your
way through the dense masses
of the enemy, and then over
powered by numbers you lay down
your arms. Some few of the
Division escape to surrender az
AppOmattOx Court House on the
9th. And now THE Blue Ridge
Rifles organized on this spot
twenty-five years ago TO day is
disbanded forever. You have con
tributed your full quota to the
casualty rolls Of the Army of Nor
thern Virginia. At least one third
of your original numbers are
among the dead, and almost every
man of ihe survivors bears upon
his person scars received in battle.
Comrades, another quarter of a
century with its hopes and a.pira-
tions is opening before you. When
it's years are numbered with the
past, will there be a semi-centen-
nial reunion of the survivors 5 of
'The Blue Ridge Rifles on this
spot? Some tottering forms who
have passed the Psalmists limit
may meet together, and recount
the glorious deeds that were done
when they stood shoulder to should
er in the days of their youth aud
strength as soldiers Of Company
A. 2Sth Regiment Of Virginia In
fantry in the Army Of Northern
Virginia. Comrades, should any
of you meet here on the 9th day
of December in the year 1909, God
grant that your retrospect of the
next quarter of a century may be
of years OF peace and prosperity
for our country, and Of happiness
for every survivor of 'The Blue
Ridge Rifles
"And yet,
Whatever Of joy the coming years may
bring
The past-the past, You never can forget.

When In whispers you told me your
heart was my own,
That your love in the future should faith
fully be
Unshared by another, kept only for me.
Oh. sweet to my soul is the memory still,
OF the lips that met mine, when they
murmured | will
But now to their pressure no more they
incline,
For the lips that touch liquor must never
touch mine.
Oh Johnl how 1t crushed me, when first in

For the lips that touch liquor must never

l love you-Oh, dearer than language can
tell,
And you saw it, you proved it, You knew
il too well
But the man of my love was far other
than he
Who now from the Tap room comes
reeling TO me;
In manhood and honor so noble and right
HIS heart was 80 true, and his genius so
bright
Aud his soul was unstained unpoluted by
wine;
But the lips that touch liquor must never
touch mine.
You promised reform, but trusted in vain
Your pledge was but made to be broken
again;
And the lover so false 70 his promises now,
Willn not as a husband be true TO his vow.
The word must be spoken that bids you
depart
Though the effort to speak it should
shatter my heart
Though in silence, with blighted affection,
pine,
Yet the lips that touch liquor must never
touch mine.
If one spark, in yOnr bosom, Of virtue
remain,
Go fan it with prayer till it kindlea again
Resolved, with God helping in future
10 be
From wine and its follies unshackled
and free
And when yOu have conquered this foe of
your SOUL
In manhood and honor beyond bis
control
This heart will again beat responsive to
thine,
And the lips free from liquor be welcome

Then as we used TO shoot apple
seeds from between our fingers,
we used TO Iepeat the lines:

seeds from between our fingers,
we used to repeat the lines:
Kernel, come kernel, hop over my thumb,
Aud tell me which way my true love VIII

Kernel, jump into my true loves mouth.
Then we used to believe, a.
Dorset tells US that white specks
on the finger nails indicated gifts,
adding the rhyme
Gifts on thumb, sure to come,
Gifts on finger, sure TO hngsr.'
The old gentlemsa recited many
of the old superstitioDs that he
had heard in Germany aud Sweden
and gave an interesting account OF
many Of them.
In some times and countries, he
said, a cat show like the recent one
in Boston would be regarded with
horror. In Italy aud Spain, even
now, such a gathering would DO
regarded as a meeting of witches
on some diabOlical business intent.
A Tuscan believes when a man de-
sires death the evil one is passing
before his eyes IN the form of some
feline. The cat was created by DiaI
ma, and Ovid relates that her form
was appropriated by that fair
goddess in flight from the Titsns.
Now, the question has often been
asked about the day of the week a
child is born on. Here is the rhyme
| learned in my youth
Sundays child neer lacks in place;
Mondays child is fair in face
Tuesdays child is full Of grace
Wednesdays child is sour aud sad;
Thursdays child is loving and glad
Fridays child is loving and giving
Saturdays child shall work Tor living.
Il could give you volume on
these old superstitious, said the
old gentleman, but | have not the
