O Golden-rod, fair Golden-rod
You seem to me a smile of God,
Sent down to cheer this earth OF ours
While mourning for her summer flowers.
I love to pluck your plumes OF light
And deck with them my robe of white;
To see them cleaning, fold on fold,
Gold upon white and white on gold.
O Golden-rod. bright Golden-rcd
You spring from out the barren sod
On worn ont places where no grain
Nav rise to meet the sun and rain,
On battlehelds, one colOred red,
Where heroes found their latest bed;
But rich or poor, or new or Old,
You offer us your plumes of gold
All. Golden-rod. rich Golden-rodl
All lips that breathe must kiss the rod;
And mine have drank deaths bitter cup
Since last stopped to pluck you up.
I Law your soft plumes' yellow glow
Beside my sable weeds ofwoe,
Ano pray my God His arms to fold
Around the black, around the gold
And Golden-rod, sweet Golden-rod,
When | shall 20 TO dwell with God;
When all the weary look is gone
From features now with sorrow drawn,
Once more may friends, in robe of white,
Decked with your plnmes Of golden light,
Enshrine this body, fold on fold,
Gold upon white and white upon gold
Then oer my green and narrow bed
Let these fair blossoms lift their head,
Through all the bright October days
When nature wells with golden haze
The worlds decay. Nor black nor white
VIII mingle with their golden light;
But over me the two will fold,
In natures hues Of green and gold.

river. Did you make the Wilderness
campaign?"
"Yes."
"What place that was for two mighty
armies to grapplel l had got into the
infantry again and this time major had
me. He was among the first killed, and
before noon the captain of a battery had
me buckled around him. changed own
ers three times before Lee finally stood at
bay and prepared to dole out the blood
of the Confederacy until the last drop
was gone. All those were grim and
gruesome days. In and around Peters
burg were barefoo.ed captains and ragged
colonels, and there were days when even
a brigadier could moi get full rations.-
Outside OF the army there were those who
could see the beginning Of the end, but
we in it never gave up hoping. 1t was
hope and fight, fight and hope, and even
when the calamity came we couldn't COM
prehend it. We always believed Uncle
Robert would find a way out of it, but
the day finally came when he had done
all that human hands could do. Apo

should it? We had done better than the
veterans of Napoleon, and when we laid
down our arms not cheer was heard
from your legions. You felt how it was,
and you had only kind words. 1t was
always 'Yank and Johnny with us at
the front, and if the politicians had kept
away we'd never felt the bitterness that
came later on. Oh, we'll, that's all in the
past what's gone is gone. | wouldn't

A city subscriber to the Baltimore Sun
writes as follows "Better than by argu-
ment was it demonstrated to me that the
Mckinley tariff does touch the pocket Of
the poor man and increase the cost Of liy-
ing. 1t occurred in the following home
~ but practical manner: Ny wife went
to one Of our Oldest and thoroughly reli-
able retail stores to purchase a pair Of
blankets They had in stock few pairs
left over from last seasons purchase, but
they were not exactly what she wanted.
They told her they would have new ones
in stock in a few days, but that they
would cost for the same article rs per
cent more, hence the charge would be
that much more. Now, / have to pay
an increased price on account Of the Nc
Kinley tax, and this extra cost to me "a
poor man goes into the pocket of the
manufacturer as extra profit"

Dogs at Saratoga.

There is another form of superstition
among ladies. 1t takes the shape Of
dog. "She who has pretty dog" they
say, "will have poor luck. She who has
an or'nary brute, will succeed in hirta-
ton and finance" Half the women in
the place must be victims of this super
stition, for you cannot go out on the road
without meeting two or three dozen ladies
in finc cquipages, gorgeously attired and
