HOME WITH MARY.

In all the changing scenes OF life,
Scenes that so widely vary,
I've never spent happier hour
L han walking home with Mary.
How often as boy, when life
Was young and glad and hearty,
BY starlight have seen her home
From singing school or party.
We knew not then how good they were,
The hours we passed together,
AS hand In hand, with lightsome hearts,
We strolled across the heather.
Though since those days from Mary's side
10 distant lands I've wandered,
The time I've spent away from her
To me seems valnly squandered.
Last night once more saw her home;
The stars were blinking blindly
Through rifted clouds, but into mine
Her eyes were beaming kindly.
We talked Of all the happy past,
or pleasure long departed,
And both confessed that oft since then
We had been heavy hearted.
And ere we reached her fathers home
/ told her how I'd missed her,
And while we fingered at the cato
/ stopped and fondly kissed her.
Before we parted twas agreed
Our paths no more should vary;
No more afar from her u IL roam,
I'm going TO marry Mary.

GarIands for the Dead.

GaEIaudS for the Dead
Memorial Day was never more
appropriately observed in Mineral
Point than yesterday. In the fore
noon the Geo. II. Legate Post, G. A.
r., in body visited all the GENE
teries Of the city, and deposited floral
offerings and placed an American
flag upon the grave of each sleeping
comrade. The principal exercises
were had in the afternoon. Despite
a chilling rain large concourse of
people assembled in front of the
City Hall at o'clock, and led by
the Mineral Point Band, moved in
procession to Oates Grove. The
@. A. r.. Post, Sons of Veterans
Camp, and school children with
floral wreaths were the main fea-
lures of the column.
Before the grounds were reached
rain began to fall and continued
without intermission till the close
of the exercises, which consisted Of
prayer by Chaplain Chase, music by
the band, singing by the glee club,
the impressive memorial service of
the G. A. II. which included the
"roll call of dead" numbering about
l5U names of men who went from
Mineral Point to the war, and who
now sleep
"iu low, green tents
Whose curtains never outward swing
AT the calling of each name a
wreath of flowers was placed upon
a cross erected for the purpose. Of
these crosses there were six, each
Of which at the close Of the cere-
monies formed a complete cross of
flowers about eight feet in heigth.
Following came the oration of
the day, by Col. f. A. Parsons.
The speaker was introduced by
Mayor LaMalle, and standing in the
rain, for more than half an hour ne
talked so eloquently, bravely and
well that his dripping audience
needed not the pattering rain. The
great services Of the soldiers of the
republic from the revolution through
the session war he powerfully i'm
pressed upon his hearers, and por
trayed strikingly the inestimable
blessings secured to the people by
the sacrifices of the army; closing
with an eloquent appeal to all pres
ent to value the country so dearly
saved to them, and to cultivate in
the rising generation a patriotism
that shall insure its preservation.
But one opinion is expressed Of
Col. Parsons address; That it was
one Of the best ever delivered in
Mineral Point, and a regret that the
unprepitious weather necessitated
its curtailment.
