A BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM.



that Of Decorating the Graves OF the
Blue and the Gray.
A few years ago this notice in .
southern paper touched the hearts Of
the loyal people all over the north:
1.-THE women of Columbus, Miss, ami
mated by noble sentiments, have
shown themselves impartial in their Of
ferings made TO the memory of tho
dead They strewed flowers alike on
the graves of the confederate and ma
tional dead"
This beautiful custom Of decorating
the graves of our dead heroes, OF set
ting apart a day in the most joyful sea-
son of the year for the purpose of pay
ing them "a just tribute, has had, says
the Christian at Work, a happy effect
in healing the gaping wound which the
war left between the north and south.
Over the graves of our slain we have
mingled our tears with our flowers, and
over their graves have our united
prayers ascended to the common Father
who smiles alike on His dear children
north and south.
"From the silence OF sorrowful homes
The desolate mourners 20
Lovingly laden with flowers.
Alike for the friend and the foe;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day
Under the roses the Blue,
Under the lilies the Gray.
"No more shall the warcry sever.
Or the winding river be red:
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves OF our dead;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day
Love and tears for the Blue.
Tears and love for the Gray"

Saved by Royal Favor.

Some years ago the Second regiment
of lifc-guards was quartered in the
cavalry barracks, Windsor, and an or
der was given for the destruction Of
all dogs in the barracks. On the
morning of the day on which the ca
nine friends OF the troops were to be
destroyed. the queen made an inspec-
ton of the Windsor garrison, and
while passing through the quarters of
the Second life-guards. accompanied
by the colonel Of the regiment, was
much attracted by the appearance Of a
small but very pretty terrier dog
named Dick. belonging to Corporal
Woodhouse, one of the bandsmen.
The queen paused, caressed the little
dog, and spoke TO it. This saved its
life, for the colonel gave orders that
Dick should be allowed TO live, while
the rest of the dogs were killed In ae-
cordance with the edict that had gone
forth. Dick for many years after was
the favorite of the regiment, and vas
honored with a collar decorated with
the regimental buttons, on the plate
of which were some lines narrating
how the animals life was saved

Col. Weston's escape was nothing
short of miracle. In the very heat
of that second days fight on May 6, the
horse he rode carried him right into his
own lines, but he reached there in a
fainting condition, and was at once
sent home TO Eastville. Having recov-
cred he made diligent search for the
soldier who had saved his life at the
cost of his own, but IL was of no avail.
He took up his law study again, gradu-
ated and was admitted to the bar. Be-
the advice of his father, he made trip
abroad and had only returned n short
time before the opening of this story
and had opened an Office in the city.
He had not even yet had his first client
and little did he think who his first one
would be.
Decoration day had been appointed
as national holiday, and the patriot
ism of the people of Eastville led them,
as usual, to make much of the occasion.
Judge Weston had always been called
upon for the public speaking at such
events, but this time il was TO be the
young lawyer who was TO deliver the
address and eulogize the soldier dead.
1t was TO be a great day, and the old
judge was in something of a fever of
expectancy to hear his sons Grafton.
The entire Weston family, help and all,
excepting little Ethel, went to the
cemetery TO see the graves decorated
and to hear the speeches The young
miss could not get over her grief at the
destruction of her flowers, and had no
heart TO do anything but hover about
the pillaged conservatory, picking up
the remnants here and there as she
could find them. This led her out into
the grounds and there she had an expe-
rience which had good and bad results.
Old Sampson, the gardener, went as
In duty bound and heard his young
master talk and then, not caring for
the rest, took his pleasure in walking

when suddenly he came upon young
lad whose hands were full of flowers
he knew well
"Ahai you young thief, I have
caught you, have I? And so the judge
was right with his joke after all"

vile guards did great service and were
badly cut up at Gettysburg in July,
1868. They were reorgc nized and took
part in the bloody engagement of the
Wilderness in May, 1864, and that
battle was thes last of Walter Weston's
service. He was badly wounded and
he not only narrowly escaped capture
by the enemy but his life was saved as
well by private whose name he was
never able TO learn. II was one of the
remarkable and terrible experiences of
the war.
BY some mischance Col. Weston was
cut off from his command and suddenly
found himself alone, as he thought,
and within the lines of the enemy.
His horse was shot from under him and
he was just being set upon by three
confederates when assistance suddenly
came to him in n most unexpected
manner. A private soldier, from some
other regiment, as the colonel could
see by his uniform, aud who had evil
IDENTIFY been caught alone as he had
himself, came rushing up just as he
had turned to engage his adversaries.
A saber cut from one of them had on
the instant disabled his right arm,
when the stranger, with dubbed gun,
rushed in between him and the attack
ing party, and, with the utmost
bravery, and with strength almost
giantlike, laid all three of the enemy
in the dust. While it seemed ages to
Col. Weston, it was all really done in
moment, and the private had seized the
bride of confederate's horse, helped
Col. Weston to mount and was trying
TO mount behind him when the man he
was saving saw him suddenly reel and
fall to the ground The horse, at that
instant, gave bound away and Col.
Weston never saw his rescuer after,
nor could he, with the utmost en-
deavor, ever find out who he was,
