Passing Away.

Those who stand aghast at the large
estimates required for the purpose of
service pension system overlook an i'm
pOrtant fact. and that is that the amount
of the appropriation would every year
grow less The veterans of the war are now
all either middle aged or old men, and
they are rapidly dropping off-their life
shortened in many instances by the hard
ships and exposure gone through in the
service of the country. There are no re-
cruits from any source. When line is
moved there is no reserve to order up to
fill the gap. II will be but short time
now till the roll will be short one Even
if the drain upon the treasury is heavy,
the government can stand it for little
while. What is done for the old soldier
will have to be done quickly, or many a
brave comrade, who deserves the best his
country can give, will get nothing. 1t
will be everlastlngly too late.-Emporia

Richmond fashions to puff people can't say

That It's the politest town of the nation,

Most courteous and civil observation.
Though Indifferent we be, we are bound to
agree
That it's the politest town of the nation.
Though it's true beyond doubt that they
shove you about
With an unceremOnious Bereavement,
They will elbow right off of the pave
Though conduct like this touchy men take
AS blot on their civilization,
Yet only think how they will chatter and
It's by chalks the polite town of the ma
By chalks the polite town of the nation,

Though they fight with i'll grace for pop

At theatre, concert, or races,
Though rOllicking blades sneer at blighted
old maids,
And puff bad cigars in their faces,
Though they cover with shame any elderly
dame
Who ELECTS unkind observation,
How they twist and they twirl to pretty
young girl
It's by odds the polite town of the ma

By odds the polite town of the nation, &c.
Though the dresses they wear I'd be sorry,
L swear,
To see on my wife or my daughter,
Though they rouge themselves fair and
don't comb their hair,
And are not even partial to water,
Though untidy by day in a slipsloppy way
And scorning all kinds of lavation,
Yet it must be confessed that when they
are dressed,
They're the best-looking folks in the ma

The best-looking folks in the nation.
