but from April to August the SUI shines
upon q success!cs of these sad Anniversary
days. In one respect the 30th of May
memorial stands separate and distinct from
the custom as observed in any other coun-
try: our Memorial day is held In honor of
the patriotic dead. No other nation on
earth SO c0nsecrates the graves OF her
heroes.
Another distinctly American feature. and
the most pathetic and impressive OF all the
Memorial day cerem onies. is that of
decorating the GROSS In memory OF the
unknown dead. There 10 something tangi

BaiIsde OF the Union Dead.
II on the field of strife they fell.
Or died survivors of the avs
Ofhurtling shot aud shrieking shell,
Pour forth for them the purest praise;
And let the brightest boughs of bays
Be twined for every glorious bed
Where Freedom kneels and sweetly lays
Her tributes to the Union dead!
We hear the noise OF battle swell
We shrink In horror we gaze
Through crowded cell and sanded hell,
And learn the plan that slowly Stays,
Amid its hot and poisoned haze,
The dauntless host whose fame shall shed
Resplendent rays when Justice pays
Her tributes TO the Union dead.
So when the Nations dirges well
Along the sombre, marbly ways
Where fallen heroes calmly dwell,
And when from bl ossom tinted Mays
The memorys misted sunlight plays
Ashanti tile slopes OF loyal red,
The radiant-bannered Right shall raise
Her tributes to the Union dead.
L'EnrOi
Ye, whom Freedom gently sways,
Whatever future heights ye tread,
March on amid a living blaze
OF tributes to your Union dead!

When Amelia Swooned.

When Amelia Swooned
When times are dull and novels few
When poets harps are sadly tuned,
Would that we had a day or two
Like those when fair Amelia swoOned.
Her lover popped-and 10. swoon-
Her mothen frowned-she swooned again;
Mars babe him march, nor stay to SPOON
once more she fell beneath the strain.
How could the world to ennui sinkl
How could the days in dizziness creep,
With damsels ever ON the brink
OF wildly dropping in heap!
oh, haste kind Time, the occasion snatch
Grant once again this pleasing boom
Since thou must bring the hoop and patch,
Oh, bring Amelia and the swOon.

Now divers birds are heard 10 sing,
And sundry flowers their heads upraise.

As fresh and sweet those said flowers.

Where tender plaintiffs action bring
Season of frolic and OF sport.
