Echoes of the Reunion.
Louisiana Review.


The great Confederate reunion at New Or
leans, will remain a hallowed recollection in
the hearts of the veterans who attended it.
Dear comrades met who had parted on the
battlefield or at the d~isbandment of the rem.
nants of their heroic commands. None but
old soldiers can comprehend the feelings that
the sight of the riddled battlefags and of the
loved ehieftains evoked, likewise the emo
tions that the sight of the columns of the old
soldiers created in the hearts of those chief
tains. Many who were carried back to the
scenes of their youth by the scenes of the
answer roll call at Birmingham next year,
But the old soldiers are happy now and their
hearts warm with gratitude at the reception
they met with at New Orleans.
General Gordon the heroic chief of the old
Confederates, voices their feelings and his
own in the following order.
HEADQUARTERS UNITED CONFEDERATE VET-)
ERANs,
New Orleans, La, April l6, 1892.
General Orders No. SIS.
|. The General Commanding fearing that
he has not expressed his deep and heartfelt
gratitude in proportion to the wealth of hos
pitality so lavishly dispensed during the re-
ception and entertainment of the old battle
SCARED veterans of the 'Lost Cause" whom
it is his high privilege to commend, and
which was showered so profusely upon
them, as well as upon himself feels the
great obligation pressing upon him with such
force, that he desires to again announce his
thanks, and expression Of satisfaction for
everything which was done for the United
Confederate Veterans and himself, by the
great hearted people of New Orleans during
the late reunion.
2. He also desires to express his grateful
thanks to the chairman and to each and
every member of the Reunion Committee, for
to them alone is due the entire credit of the
success of the reunion.
3. There is also another feature which not
only. ELECTED his highest admiration, but
touched deeply the hearts of every visitor to
this great city, and that was the efficiency
and completeness of the commissary depart
ment. The action of those noble women of
New Orleans and their daughters, who with
their delicate hands provided food for tina
old veterans, and waited upon them, is but Q
reflex of the devotion aud patriotism shown
them during the stormy days of war, and is
evidence that the homage and
love of mankind for the woman of the South
is not misplaced.
By order OF
j. b. GORDON,
GEO. MooRMAN, General Commanding.

Temperance fn school.

Francis e. Willard.
Natures way of bringing beauty and order
out of chaos is to flood darkness with light.
We shall never get beyond this method by
any spasmodic pyrotechnics, which, no mat
ter how popular for a time, only serve to
make the darkness more visible when their
artificial coruseations are withdrawn The
work among the children yields a much Iarg-
er dividend on our investment of time and
toll than is afforded by our work among the
drinking-ciass. We nay as we'll face the
fact and learn it's lesson thoroughly. When
l see our schoolboys stunning their growth
and drying up their brains with smoke !;
when | discover that their very cigars are
soaked in Alcoholic liquors, and they are
baited with beer and enticed into saloons by
music and by games {; when l am told of their
degeneracy in scholarship, SO that the per-
centage of girls who graduate and take hon
ors is steadily gaming on that of boys-it
seems to me that toward the children we have
been strangely, if not c~ulpably, negligent as
temperance workers. 1t is a glorious thing,
as has been said, to go out with the Gospel
life-boat and strive to save wrecked man
hood; but it is just as much in accordance
with Christ's plan, and for us a far wiser
economy of effort, to build a lighthouse on
the sunken reef, warning the unskilled yoya-
ger upon life's treacherous sea.

in the sight of the people. What will they
say And what will they thinks We live be-
fore public opinion, and SO we miss the
strength and restfulness that would be ours
if we should really live with reference to
what the Lord would have us do. There is
such an everlasting thinking about what 9TH

our life becomes a strain. And then maybe
We hurt our own conseiences in this way, and

right way. "Do you think so and so is right,
my son? or my %daughter2" o, believe me,
dear daughters, it is so vital to do right, and
to influence our subjects, so to speak, to do
right. l noticed inSvery sentence in regard
to these old kings, it said ''they did right, or
they did evil" 1t was positive. Maybe at
tunes they thought right. l have no doubt
but they did, and they thought they would
do right, but when it came down to it they
did not do perhaps what they thought they
would, and it was the action that told every
