We have covered each grave with the pure bios
SONS bright,
The cmhlems OF memory and love;
We have brought the white rose and the pale
lily rare,
The Olucbell and violet deep,
And iwincd them with smilax and pink haw-
thorn fair,
For the graves where our brave comrades
sleep
Their memory is ours, and we cannot forget
All the ties that are bound With life's chain,
So We garland once more the sweet mignonettc
With tho pansy and pink in It's train,
The ivy deep green and the daisy star-eycd
We will blend in circlet Of hope,
And tendcrly place them DER those who abide
In the tents on each green sunny slope.
Each year when the summer, with fair wooing
smile
And sweet dimpcd feet bids us come
We touch elbow once more, with each comrade
the while,
At tho magic tap OF the drum.
We fall into line with the old swinging gait,
And follow tho fiowcr.laden van,
With rcvcrcnt step at each green grave we
watt
While the voley re.echoes again.
Every year We will muster our braycst and
host,
Bearing blossoms that sweet fragrance shed,
And wen scatter them over the mounds where
they rest
In the deep drcamless sleep OF the dead.
The tri.colored flag we will plant on each
grave
UnStained every white star AMI line,
In the soft summer breeze II will huttcr and
wave
Meath the maple and Whispering pine.
They may no, take heed In their slumbcr so
blCst
Fus, asleep in tho bosom OF God,
They never may hear, in their long peaceful
rest,
Our footballs upon the green sod;
But We will remember with basket ard wreath,
And The flag with its red. white and blue,
And wen murmur q prayer for the boys
beneath
Asleep with the flowers and the dew
Though our footsteps may falter, our eyes may
grow dim,
And the silver crown every head,
Though til" frame may be weary and haliing
the limb
Vet wen march with the old soldier tread.
A. long as ones left TO hold up the flag
Wen remember the graves OF our dead
Wen come every May nor falter nor lag,
AS We cover each low verdant bed.

CLEVELAND STANDS FIRM.
He WITH Net listen to Proposals for a SV8I
Compromise.

~Jlilpi -llttCg'
WAeuINGToH. u. C., oct . Mr. Car
lisl" mas consulted gain with President
Cleveland on compromise terms, but
with no satisfactory results. 1t
is understood that the reply lac
has authorized Mr.. Carlisle to
give to the advocates Of compromise is
that he viii listen to no compromise in
tolVing the further purchase of silver
until the supreme effort has been made
by the friends of unconditional repeal
to avail themselves of their conceded
strength a. a majority of the Senate,
and 10 force Vote. If the effort fails,
then he may listen to compromise
as the less of two evils.
Senators who have been most active
in trying to effect compromise on the
repeal bill do not express themselves as
discouraged by the outlook this morn
ing. They say that nothing is likely To
transpirc in that direction during the
present week, but express the opinion
that the beginning OF next week Will
see a change in the situation, by which
time the Senate will be more thorough
lv impressed with the futilitv of the
effort to pass the pending bill in its
present shape and that this further de-
lav will have the general effect Of con
yincing senators of the impossibiIlty of
any mans getting lust what he may
want. The extreme men on both sides
are still holding out stitfiy, however,
and If there Is any improvement III the
situation II does not appear on the sur
t.lrp
