NONE WILL MISS THEE.

Few will miss thee, friend, when thou
For month in dust hath lain.
Skillful hand, and anxious brow,
Tongue OF wisdom, busy brain
All thou vert shall he forgot,
And thy place shall know thee not.
Shadows from the bending trees
Der thy lowly head may pass
Signs from every wandering breeze
Stir the long, thick churchyard grass
Wilt thou heed them? No; thy sleep
Shall be dreamles' calm, and deep.
Some sweet bird may sit and sing
On the marble OF thy tomb,
soon to fit on joyous wing
From that place OF death and gloom
On some bough to warble clear;
But these songs thou shalt not hear.
Some kind voice may sing thy praise.
Passing near thy place OF rest,
Fondly talk OF other days;
But no throb within thy breast
Shall respond to words OF praise,
Or old thoughts OF other days.
Since so fleeting is thy name,
Talent, beauty, power and wit
Itwere well that without shame
Thou in Gods great book vert wri :
There in golden words to be
Craven for eternity.

Initiating the Brethren.

From the Buffalo Courier
At a recent party in an up town
residence the damse,s insisted on be-
ing permitted to show their brethren
something new. They had founded a
new order, it was explained, and
wished to initiate the boys into its
mysteries. They took possession OF
the front parlor and closed the fold
ing doors, leaving one of their number
on guard. The gentlemen found one
OF their crowd-a beardless youth
had disappeared, and wondered what
had become OF him. They learned to
their sorrow. The lodge being in
readiness for the reception OF candi-
dates, one OF the young men was
escorted into the room, He found
four blushing maidens standing in q
row in the corner of the room with
q tete in front of them. Upon this he
was seated and blindfolded, and then
told that one OF the girls would kiss
him. If he could guess her name he
would be privileged to repeat the os-
culation. OF course, he made miser-
able failure, but, instead OF being al
lowed to oretire, was compelled to occu-
by q seat on the opposite side OF the
room. just imagine his feelings when
the next victim was led in and had
been prepared for the sacrifice to see
the missing beardless youth rise up
ghostlike from behind the girls, i'm
print good sound smack on the up
lifted and expectant lips of the candi-
date, and then dodge back to his
place OF concealment. One after an.
other OF the young men were victim
lied. The fun OF it was, though, to
hear some OF them demand more
than one trial before the removal OF
the hoodwinks-one, a wel-known
physician, not being content with less
than three kisses. He was enthusiastic
over their sweetness, until the sweet
was turned to gall, as he saw the boy
salute his successor on the throne OF
mystery.

"He came for the fishing" l said.
"And father and the boys seem-ac-
cidentally--to have come acr oss him"
"Never mind" said Claudia.
NO, it does not matter" Isaid rs-
signedly.
But Claudia was sympathetic next
day when we arrived at Axetown East.
In short fortnight Mr. Tudor had
made great strides toward friendship
with all ut home. He had found ia
vor with father and the boys; his
hotel was comfortless, and he de-
serted it frequently. He came and
went at all hours, laughed and smoked
with the boys and talked sensibly like
an old friend with father. He was
more bronzed than ever; for fort
night he had been fishing and rowing
and walking with energy. He laughed
as had sometimes suspected he could
laugh. He had left his tutor manners
behind him with cap and gown. Sud-
denly now, at the end of q fortnight,
he had grown tired OF fishing and OF
lonely boating and walking. He haunt
ed our house. He seemed to be al
ways where was. Claudia was sym
pathetic. And, somehow, l felt trail
torous when | received her SYM
pathy.
1t was still, warm Summer even
ing day or two after our ar
rival. We were in the drawing-room
downstairs; the French windows were
open wide. Father was showing Mr..
Tudor some views OF places abroad
where he had been stationed at differ
ent times. Suddenly, on the still air,
came avoice from the garden. Claudia
was coming up the path with my
brother George.
"And that is the story" she said.
"It dosen't seem quite g, modest thing
to say man blushes when you speak
to him. Poor Cis! she has never been
happy in his presence since. He will
spoil her holidays. We try to praise
him sometimes, but as for Cis. she will
never say anything good OF him. She
really dislikos him now"
'"That's pity" said George, 'ior
her"
l do not think father had heard; he
was engrossed in photographs OF
China. l did not venture to look at
Mr.. Tudor. I do not think that he
looked at me. But an anecdote which
father was relating was new to us
when he told it again next day.
1t was an hour or two later that we
found ourselves alone together But
Georges words were ringing in my
brain still. II seemed natural, now
that we were alone, that he should go
back at once straight to those words.
1T IS true," he said gently. ~ did
not mem to tell you yet. meant to
try to win your love first"
did not speak. He was standing
near me by the open window, and he
took my hand and let it rest in his.
"Do spoil your holidays?" he ask
ed gravely. "Are you unhappy, as
your friend says, because | am here?"
hesitated for q moment II do
not think that Claudia knows" / an
swered.
"Cicely, I am very bold" he said
eagerly-"very bold to speak to you
now so soon. Ii | make you unhappy

chance at all--tell me, Ccely, and

I But said nothing.
Send me away now," he said plead

OF no proper answer. 81 do not want

Two Anecdotes of Grant.

An officer who served on Grants stat
during the war said to the Travellers
correspondent recently: "The first

came to take command of the army.
This was at Brandywine station. We

One OF them was ashort, stumpy man,
with q full brown beard. He wore q

eyes. AS he picked his way over the
railroad tracks to the station a sol.

the platform was Gen. Ingalls,, the com.
missary general of the army, and who
was one of Grants classmate. He

and inquired; Ingalls,, where did

Washington expressly for the event.
Then Grant wanted to llnowi if the sol.
