OUR couNTRy,s FLOWER.


A flower for the lasn that spreads
From mighty sea to seal
OF all that lift their blooming heads,
Oh. say, which shall It be2
The golden rod, the Mayflower fair,
Or mountain laurel wild,
Some garden blossom rich and rare,
Or only Natures child9
Oh. flower, full Of Joyous life
And tint OF FURNISHED gold,
With memories Of childhood rife
And beauties manifold,
That or our hearts with sweetness thrills
And love no change can break,
Like WORDSWORTH golden daffodils
That danced beside the lake
Thine be the blossom that we choose
Our native land to claim,
Rceplendcntwit her autumn hues
And with her sunlight famo;
with dainty fiowers fine and fair,
That children love to pull,
Yet curved like palms that victors bear
In sheaves so firm and FULL
Tis well her blooming badge should be
Some plant by Nature sown,
That springs untended strong and free,
And makes each soil Its own,
On roadside bank, by cottage door,
Amid the gathered corn
In fields where bright September's store
OF dying seeds is borne.
And earliest on sunny slope.
Beside the iron track,
We sec thy waving clusters ope
To tlaeh tho eunshine back.
There, face 10 face with labor's roar,
While engines thunder past.
Thy richest bloom smiles overmore
AIis'd thesmoly blast.
Then symbol Of our country's dover,
OF spirit free and bold,
Bloom on. thou hardy autumn flower,
With all thy cleaning gold,
Lake ec,blems other growing might
Far spreading DER her soil,
The victors palm, the child's delight
Tho treasure won by toll.
Like Frances lily, Englend's rose,
And Scotland's thistle true,
Where'er She starry banner shows
The red and white and blue,
Wide DER thy teeming sun kissed sod,
From mighty sea to sea
Do famed and loved thy golden rod,

There Will be No War.

After all the buster of Italy, in
demanding that the United States
guarantee that those engaged in the
killing of the Italians at New Or
leans be punished, and that their
relatives he paid an indemnity, she
has had to accept the alternative
of patiently awaiting an official OK
animation before Uncle Sam even
says what he will do toward a set
Element. 1t has been a wholesome
lesson to the king-ridden countries
of Europe, in that they are made
to understand that we have but one
law, for high and low alike, and
that President, governor nor Judge
has any right to pass upon the
guilt. or restrain the liberty of the
humblest citizen until he shall first
be given a fair and impartial trial
by twelve of his fellow countrymen.

IN MEMORIAM.

Sacred to the memory of Emmett,
youngest son of Hugh Maud Ella
Llllian Mathewson, born in Menu
phis, Tenn, March 9th, 1876, killed
by the M, & G. train at Decatur,
Ala, Dec. 25lb, lS90-aged ii years
and 8 months.
The subject of this memorial was
converted and joined the NJ. E. /,
church at the early age Of 10 years,
and his daily walk was SO close to
the God whom he worshipped, that
insensibiy no led many Others TO
feel desire to be one of the sol>
diers who nad Jesus for their cap-s
tain. 1t is often said that sdea,h
loves shining mark J" and in this
instance the axiom has been truly
verified. OF a refined, sensitive and
affectionate disposition, he made
friends o. all who knew him---"none
knew him but to love him, mono
named him but TO praise him. Ills
faith in Gods love ard goodness
| never wavered. His desire was to
| so live, that no matter at what hour
he was called, he might be ready.
'sHo has fought the good fight, be
HIS finished the course,' and we
who witnessed his daily life and
livod in the very atmosphere OF the
bright faith he diffused around him,
doubt for one moment that he be has
won the crown promised 10 those
who keep the faith. One by one
God is gathering up his jewels, to
] shine in spiendor in his crown; one
by one earth's ties arc riven, loved
ones mourn the dear presence that
made home happy. Through tear
Blinded eyes they can almost trace
the shining path DER which the dear
feet trod to that home of oternal
love, and zee the sheen of his sivery
wing as he took his fight on Christ
mas morning to his Father. For
one whose life was as pure and spot
less as his, we know what JOY
reigned III Heaven when the angels
! claimed their own, when sisters and
brothers greeted him whom they
loved so much while in this life of
probation. He has lived out his
brief lite and taught the lesson in
tended by the great giver OF all
good. He is one more llnk to draw
loving hearts to the all-wise Father,
a light set on the path to lead them
homo to God.
| He left two brothers, sister, and
many friends TO mourn his untimely
loss, an invalid father and mother,
whose love for her neble boy
amounted almost to idoiatry.--in
whom her brightest hopes of the iu-
ture were centered ,--a mother to
whom he ovinced depth Of devo-
ton and a tender chivary rarely
found in these degenerate days, His
| parents looked forward with hope
and pride to the future, when his
strong arm should be their shield
and prop, but he has preceded them
10 that home prepared tor the faith
ful. In all his life he was never
known to speak a word which would
not bear repeating, nor WAS he ever
guilty Of an act which, Was not in
strict accordance with his Christian
principles. Thus, by his pure and
blamed, IS walk, he has written with
a pen touched by Divine love his
own epitaph, and left behind him a
bright record, Of which his t.iends
cannot but be proud. Their only
comfort now is that he lived and
died in the faith OF Jesus, aud the
hope of meeting him again whore
parting is not known.
A FRIEND.
