Grant Gnnntp Nerald,
Persian Roses.


In an ancient legend, Per ians say
That rose tree bio s the gates or Day,
And once in each life be it sad or gay,
Comes the scent of that flower from the far
off skies,
And the heart seems lifted to Paradise.
And, oh, the day that it came TO mel
Tears cannot tarnish the memory, love,
OF that moment out on the summer sea
When the fragrance fell from abovel
Your eyes were raised, and their tender tale
Had made me forget the refreshening gale,
Till the waves were dashing over the rail,
And the clinging arms of a ragged cloud
Had wrapped the sun in an Inky shroud.
With the timbers straining under our feet,
And our faces pale in the lightning's glare,
We learned for the first time life was sweet,
For we learned for the first time love was
there.
Blest was the fragrance that came on the
blast,
Bright was the moment but swiftly past
Alb, far too blest, too bright to lastl
For the mighty, passionless, pltlless sea
Claimed what was dearer than life to me.
All merciess Memory, draw thy veil
Across the path of that leaping wayel
Shut from my eyes the loosened sail
And lift my heart from that ocean gravel

history of the GAR. of Buffalo the imaginary

and our Order has received the official sanction
of the Roman Catholic Church 1t has been
customary here for the various Posts to unite
and attend divine services in body on the
Sabbath evening preceding Memorial Day, and
this year. through the patriotism and kindness
of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Ryan, the cathedral was
opened TO US, and at the appointed time between
four and five hundred old veterans fled into
the church and were seated in the 'front.' In the
center aisles. Following them came their fami-
lies, members of the congregation and citizens,
until the vast edifce was filed to overlooking.
After the usual services a sermon was preached
by the pastor, the Rev. DIR. Quigley. Space will
not permit extracts from his burning words.
Suffice it to say that he held the attention and
sympathy of his audience from the outset as
he spoke of the services of the dead veterans
and the duties of the living to God and their
country. Few sermons have ever been deliv-
cred in Buffalo that made so deep am impression.
Following the example of the Bishop, President
Callahan of the Young Mems Catholic Assoeia-
ton, held their first memorial services in st.
Stephens Hall, where they We're addressed by
COmrade Gen. James x. SaytOn. Seated upon
the platform, which was beautifully and appro-
priately decorated, was Bishop Ryan, and
