Letter from Commander veazey.

The following circular letter was re-
Gently addressed to the Grand Army
by Communicating chief Veazey: " Com
rddes The Grand Army of the Re-
public was never in better condition
than at the present time. Its strength
and power are commensurate with its
numbers, now nearly one-half million
comrades. But its nilsson is not COM
plete. We are comrades not for per-
sonal benefit to ourselves, but to enable
us Individually the better to do good to
others, who stood at our side in the
shock of battle. There are far too
many such not enrolled with us and
therefore not within reach of the full
benefits of our order. They lose the
advantage and inspiration of fraternal
associations which the post room, the
only clubhouse of the average vet
eran, affords. The relief fund of the
post is not sure to reach them in their
distress. They do not 60 with us to
visit the sick, to feed the hungry or to
bury the dead comrade. Our badge,
which Grant and Sheridan priced and
Sherman wears, does not decorate their
breasts as the insignia of honor for
their valiant service. No veteran
joins the Grand Army of the Republic,
and enters into its work in the spirit of
true comradeship, without being lifted
to loftier manhood and to the plane
of better citizenship. We therefore
fail in duty if we fail to do our utmost
to bring all who offered their lives for
flag and country within our organiza-
ton. They all now know that such
membership can not infringe the free
exercise of political inclination or re-
ligious faith. The commander-in-c chief
therefore appeals to posts and COM
rades to bring upon our rolls all worthy
veterans of the Union army and navy,
who are not there already, and to let
none be dropped therefrom for inabil-
ity to pay the small dues incumbent
upon membership. He also solicits
from department commanders and all
comrades frank suggestions upon
matters within administrative juris-
diction pertaining to the welfare of the
order. BY vigorous cooperation along
our lines they are sure to be greatly adj
vanced, and our countrymen will ever
rise up to bless us for true devotion to
Fraternity, charity and loyalty" even
as they hold us in honor for brave
deeds on the battle-fields of the re-
public,D

One of Hans Christian Andersen's Pretti-
 est Little Stories.
 ''Yesterday," said the moon to me, q looked down upon small courtyard surrounded on all sides by houses. In the courtyard sat a clucking hen with eleven chickens, and pretty little girl was running and jumping around them. The hen was frightened and screamed and spread out her wings over the little brood. Then the girls father came out and scolded her, and glided away and thought no more of the matter,
 But this evening, only a few min- utes ago, looked down into the same courtyard. Every thing was quiet. But presently the little girl came forth again, crept quietly to the hen-house, pushed back the bolt and slipped into the apartment of the hen and chickens. They cried out loudly and came fiutter- ing down from their perches and ran about in dismay, and the little girl ran after them. 1 saw it quite plainly, for l looked through a hole in the hem house wall. I was angry with the will ful child, and felt glad when her father came out and scolded her more violently than yesterday, holding her roughly by the arm. She held down her head, and her blue eyes were full of large tears. What are you about here? he asked. She wept and said: I wanted to kiss the hen and beg her pardon for frightening her yes- terday, but l was afraid to tell you And the father kissed the innocent child's forehead and kissed her on the mouth and eyes."-Hans Christian An dersen.

 Robert Christy, of Washington, an able lawyer, formerly of Ohio, has pub lished book entitled "Proverbs and Phrases of All Ages" The work is the outcome of twenty years of effort and study on the part of MT.

The birth of nearly every pop ular saying took place in prehistoric times, so far as scholarly research car discover. MT. Christy's studies have given to his conversation and speeches striking epigrammatic brilliancy.
