dlings in the five years 2578. and the numhe-
Of blows struck 9.7o7 The punshments were

ministered In each case. The punishments in
creased from pei in 1859 tc eS1 in ls93. and there
were more applications in the O. or twelye-blow
class than In any other.

MEMORIAL DAY.

There seems TO be growing tendency
to make Memorial day an occasion for
amusement, rather than one of rever-
ence and respect for the dead.
This is entirely subversive of the orig
inal object for the observance of the
day. A time was selected when the
season Oi TIE year enables the survivors
of Cur great civil war to lovingly re-
member the heroes who fell in that mos
mentous struggle by bedecking their
graves with flowers and conducting
such oral exercises as appropriately
acknowledge the debt of gratitude due
the memories of those who died that the
nation might live.
Inst .ad OF boisteronS mirth and lfOli-
day amuSements, the observance of the
day should be soemnly reverential. Ii
is but very slight recognition of the
services of the men who gave their lives
to their country To set apart one day i'll
the year for impressive memorial eXer-
ciSeS.
1t is an absolute mockery and indig-
nifty to take advantage of the suspension
o, business on Memorial day to engage
in sports. and as inappropriate as hilar-
ity would be upon any funeral occasion.
There should be sufficient patriotism
to make Memorial day hallOwed In
stead of hilarious event.

THE MAIDEN's PRAYER.
Written for the Globe. I

" IlLtSi lOl TIC 0iODC-
We were present at a gathering down at Mrs
Jim McGoogans.
A little social party gotten up for Nell and
me;
1t was only just the night before they feted
US at Dugans.
We were gong to be married in week or
so, you see.
An hour or more we played at cards, mid
merry jest and frolic,
My heart was throbbing gaily all devoid of
carking care:
But all at once slckened, and nearly had
a collie,
Refreshments? No, McGoogan's wife rung
i'll The Maiden's Prayer"
1t was after we had tucked away the 'crame''
and chicken salad.
The sandwiches ana coffee, course by
course. III perfect style,
That red-faced dane was called upon to
wresile with ballad
She struck the tune OF "Edin5oro'' but not
within Il mile"
McGoogans wife presided at the instrument
all mildly,
EAnd when the song was..oyer, and a silence
smote the air.
She grapped with the worries and upper-cut
them wildly.
And when the struggle ended-she had
played THE Maiden's Prayer"
Twas the old familiar maiden that we knew
in by-gone ages
But gray and hoary headed from the lapse
OF fleeing years;
Twas the same old supplication j0tted down
on music pages
But falling now, alas, on cod and unre-
sponsive ears.
A soporific feeling thro' the parlors grand
went soaring
AS if the angel Sleep had waved her wand
from room to stair;
Ere McGoOgau's wife concluded every moth
er's son was snoring,
For the shattering of friendships you can
blame The Maiden's Prayer
