ng, Past Department Commander De
Dartment of Vermont, q. a. X.
Friends, safe from Tread of wars alarm
Within these walls you meet tonight,
Around the tables titly spread,
Beneath this glowing light.
No more you stand on tented field,
Or march beneath ii southern sun,
No more before Il murdcrOuS fire,
See friends fall, one by one.
For these we know are days of peace,
The ploughshurc takes the place of sword.
You rest and naught disturbS your ease,
No fear of wars discord.
Is this the fare that soldiers know?
Where Is the canp-hre's htful light
Ana where the boys who ate and drank
With soldiers appetite:
When after many weary march,
Or after fierce aud bloody fray,
They snutched I'm hour of brief repOse,
Ere dawned another day.
The beardless boys in coats of blue
Methinks "Old Time" in his swift flight
Might have spared you.
The light in many an eye Is dim.
And forms are bent and locks are gray,
And soLe-ubOve them rest our flowers
On each memorial day.
Aud yet this is no time for grief
No time to waste in vain regret,
What though the hardy veteran finds.
His eyes with tears are wet.
And here and there n crutch we see,
An empty sleeve, II deep SCARED face,
Each mark OF Nalor i'll our eyes
Adds but deeper grace.
These scars shall be your witnesses.
And although mute shall speak II needs
No words when these SO truly tell
The story of your deeds.
For one speaks of tie fearful strife
At Gcttyshurgh, where undismuyed,
Backward was turned the battles tide
by the Vermont Brigade.
This crutch tells of the wilderness
Where ragged the fight day alter day.
This empty sleeve of Frederlckshurgh,
Where you braVcly led the way.
And here II pallld cheek doth tell.
The horrors of the prison pen
Not all these years have brought the iius
OF ruddy health since then.
Out of the de this of pain and woe,
From prison and from field OF blood,
Grew this the bond that conrad know,
The tie OF brotherhood.
And now and then like this you come,
Clasp hands and talk of other days,
And eat and drink together, then
Go each your separate ways.
Deal gently with these comrades, Time,
And may they meet for many year,
Their ranks unbroken, all unchanged,
As they meet here.

For MarriageabIe Girls.

Do not "cboose an opposite You
will be opposite enough in time.
Take your mothers advice on the
question of husband, provided she
took her mothers.
Either put your foot down on his ci-
gar before marriage, or make up your
mind to keep quiet about it afterward.
Learn to cook and sew if you can, but
above all things learn to keep still and
look sweet when mad enough to take the
roof off.
See and hear all the plays, operas and
concerts you can during the engage
ment. Bad weather is apt to interfere
after marriage.
When furnishing house make sure
of an easy-chair, foot rest, an open
fire CRATE and a corn pepper if you want
to enjoy the bliss of matrimony to the
full.
Don't ask your brother about the per-
sonal habits of a suitor. lie can't tell
enough to matter without giving him
self away, and he won't do that.
Do not be offended when his sister in
voluntarily wonders what any woman
of taste can see in him to admire. Re-
member how you hate your brother.
If he asks if you can sew on buttons
answer "No." A man who has not at
some time or other been obliged to sew
on his buttons lacks very necessary
part of life's discipline.

Temptation.

II our souls were undimmed by our inherit
ances,
On this side the un fathome ed silence, We might
hear
The nameless music that has filled our dreams
II we but understood
The fine attuning Of all-spirit life
Unto celestial music we might see
Among the lives we now count destitute
OF beauty and Of love, reflection, faint,
OF that divinest purity
Which by assuming human form
Made human purity possible.
And SO perchance
When in our inner selves we see
Darkness and sin, If we could understa nd
more clearly we
Should thank our Father for the blackness
there,
Because IL teaches US to know how He
Doth mediate with us, by right of his human
ity,
And thus teach us OF His divinity,
And we grow nearer him for drinking, too,
The bitter cup In our Gethsemane.

ceipting at the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing every sheet of Taper and
sheet of money is accounted for, and if
one disappears its loss can be located at
once. When a printer is given the paper
to print he receipts for it, and when he
prints it it is sent to the examining di-
vision, carefully counted and receipted
for. Each printer is furnished blank
pass every morning, and on this is en-
tered the number Of sheets given him,
the number he returns, and half dozen
people affix their initials to the pass,
showing the correct return of the paper.
CHECKS on DISHONESTY.
This pass is shown the captain Of the
watch at the door when the printer
quits work, and he is rot allowed to
leave the building unless the pass is
filled out. The printed money, the un-
finished sheets and all dies and plates
are turned over to the custodian of the
vault each evening and he receipts for
them. They are locked up in an I'M
mense vault, which has two large iron
and steel doors, one of which has a
time-lock. The two doors have differ
ent combinations known to two differ
ent people. The time. lock is set at p.
M, and the door cannot be opened next
morning till s. These precautions are
taken because there are frequently
stored in the vaults millions Of dollars
of finished money and bonds and the
complete plates for printing then. All
the details of this immense Bureau move
with regularity and precision of clock
work, and any irregularity in any one
printers returns would be felt as
readily as the failure of a cog wheel to
