T0THE MEMORY
CT
Captain Frederick e. Kaighles.
BY SALLlE K. DAVIS.

A brave, battle scared comrades laid
to his rest,
Meath the blue, sunny skies in the
the land he loved best.
Where the sentinel pine their lone
virgils will keep,
AS they watched DER the place wh;re
the soldiers asleep.
Where the wild flowers bloom and the
song birds will sing,
And the valleys sweet lilies return
with the spring.
Where The leaflets around him sweet
music will make,
As the zephyrs pass lightly and wind
harps awake.
Where the snow fakes above him in
winter will fall,
Aud will veil with their whiteness the
gloom of the pail.
He sleeps his last sleep, for the war
fare is Ger,
And the trumpet will call him to bat
lie no more.
II the years that are gone, he was
brave in the gray,
For his banner did wave in the heart
of the fray.
And at last it went down 'nerth the
sulphurous rain,
But he waved it aloft and replaced
it again.
On Manassas red plain, in the Will
derness wild,
Like the Spartans, at death, he tri-
umphantly smiled.
With Lee, Jackson and Longstreet,
chivalr::c and bold,
Iu historic Virginia. his story'll be
told.
Tho the Cause we have lost, now,
forever is dead,
We will honor its sons who have suf-
fered and bled
And the land that we love, a mother
will mourn,
When her children away from her
bosom are torn.
With Gregg and with jenkins he has
entered his rest,
"Neath the shade of the trees" in
the Land of the Blest.
But we'll meet him again and the
glory we'll see,
When the veterans are called to the
great reveille.

Total Loss Of Memory,

A very curious instance Of those sud
den and total losses Of memory which
raise such perplexing and appalling
problems as to the nature of the person
ality of man is reported this week from
Brighton. While sitting on the sea front
woman felt something break in her
head. She thereupon became unable to
tell her name, address or anything con-
nected with her past life. She is at pres
eDt in the Brighton workhouse, her con-
tinual cry being, "Oh, shall I get my
memory again." Her clothing does not
contain a single mark or initial whereby
she might be identified. She is a respect
ably dressed woman, apparently fairly
we'll to do. The following is her deScrip-
ton: Age about 5G; dressed neatly in
black; appears to be a nurse or compan-
ion; we'll educated; wears a wedding
ring.
We hold, and it seems to Us are bound
TO hold, that the notion of life beyond
the grave which will not be endowed
with memory Of this life is tantamount
10 annihilation. But if the state of this
poor woman is permanent, then she has
already suffered scrt of annihilation.
though of course death may revive her
lost faculty. Still, if she goes on living
she will in effect be another person, and
COW are these two personalities to be
linked and reconciled: In truth, the
whole thing is Gle Of the most soul shak-
ing of mysteries. London Spectator.

TransIstors and Transitions.

The translator is reported to be badly
paid by the publisher, and this, to the
general reader, naturally suggests in
seriority in the nature of his wares. He
is generally ranked among the unskilled
worklnen who hang about the market
place of Literature and are glad of odd
jobs.
If this low estimate CT the translator'S
services were confned to the general
reader, it would matter comparatively
little, but it is unfortunately too often
shared by the translator himself. There
are CT course conspicuous exceptions, but
for the noSt part the Industrious writers
who "do into English" much of the
continental fiction read in this country
would themselves readily disclaim any
very close resemblance to G0ethe's noble
portrait of the interpreter Of the ma
tions" whose Office, whatever may be
said OF the inadequ&cy Of translation, is
and remains one Of the greatest dignity
and Importance " With the dignity of
their Office they are not concerned. They
pro ignorant Of its Importance, and the
result is that foreign authors are coli
stantly presented to Us in a garb so SLOW
en!y that no company that was not Sc
reEely Indifferent to the quality of liter
ary Workmanship would admit them at
I'll.
Those who have given their attention
to this matter have sometimes wondered
why, in SO benevolent world, no one
has yet attempted to organize a society
for the prevention of cruelty to foreign
authors. These persons do not indeed
always belong to the class described by
philanthropists as deserving, yet the
wrongs inflicted on them and the inno-
cent helplessness of their attitude should
surely appeal to some generous soul

Tho Pin Was EcGnd,

At al entertainment in Dublin a
thought reader boasted that lie could
find marked pin hidden By one Of the
audience. The pin was hidden by q
Trinity student in an adjoining room in
the presence of a committee, among
whom was a confederate. The student,
suspecting the man from his looks, sly
ly took away the pm from its hiding
place. On his return to the platform the
thought reader gazcd into the hidcr's
face, and putting his hand 30 his brow
was blindfolded and led the student to
the hiding place, but of course could
find nc pin. He returned, acknowledged
his defeat, and looked dagsers at his
confederate. "Now, gentlemen" said
the student, "I'll undertake to say that
if this divincr of the human mind will
do as tell him half the audience, with
out single hint, will know where the
pin is" ard turning to the thought
reader he said, ''Sit down" He did so.

A Lost State.

The United States, compared with the ma
tions of the old world, is but creation Of
yesterday, and it is seldom that one can dig
up forgotten facts in its history. how
many know that there was once Estate OF
Franklin organized, though never admit
ted to the union7 The present state of Ten.
nessee was originally a part of the grant Of
lands made by Charles II. to the colony Of
North Carolina. Subsequent to the Revo-
ture Of North Carolina passed an act ceding
to the United States all that part of their
state lying west of the mountains. Suppos-
ing this would be accepted by congress, the
people Of Washington, Sullivan and Green
counties declared themselves independent
Of North Carolina and organized the state
Of franklin" 1n17S5, however, North Car
DINA repealed the act of cession Of the pre-
vious year, but these counties remained out
the sovereignty of the "Old North State"
This was the first secession that occurred
in our country, but no fuss was made about
it, and it died out quietly. In 1890 North
Carolina again coded the territory to the
general government, and shortly after Ten
nessee was organized and admitted to the
union. Since then many new states have
boon added in the West and Northwest, and
to all the principal cities and towns Of
eleven Of them the Burlington Route is the
quickest and best means OF communication.

A GOODNIGHT CAREss.

A little shining ring lies In my hand,
Not gold, nor starred with gems, but just
instead,
A precious ring OF sunny yellow hair
Cut from my darling's head.
What art thou like, without thy frame OF light
( The aureole that made thy little face
Like to the cherub faces which in Heaven
Are found III fairest place:
How many times I've stopped to kiss and bless
The fairest little head in all my world!
Tonight bow my own with silent tears,
And kiss one little curl
Robbed OF thy crown, thourt still my little
king,
To whom bend in worship, praying yet
That the most kingly G1ver may not
In love for thee forget.
What thou hast been to me, my little lad,
OF sunshine and Of bloom in darkest days,
Only the Father knows, who plants some
flower
! Along life's toughest ways
Out OF my arms, far out beyond my reach.
The swift years bear thee, but my yearnine
heart
Can never make Of life blessed thing
From thee, dear boy apart.
Till life's last day. thy tender winsome face.
Set with the blue and shine Of heavenly
skies,
And sweet with childish graces, will remain
Pictured before my eyes.
God keep thee, bless thee, love thee. little lad
Icannot fold thee always, safe from harm
Give him, dear Shepherd, through ufes weary
years,
The shelter OF Thine arm.
Sharp griefs will come, and tears, unlike tt
these
That make thy sweet eyes lovelier as they
fall,
win dim thy sight and furrow thy fair cheek;
Such tears must come to all
But thou, my lad, be victor over all
Lies sharp temptations and its bitteres1
pain:
And bravely learn that earthly loss may NEAR
To thee Heavens highest gain.
Again, God bless thee, OH my little lad
I bend once more to kiss this shining tress,
And give my love, unmeasured and untold,
With this good night caress.

A QUIET NEIGHBoRhooo.
n,.sortunos Of a Man with Three Years

Misfortunes of Man with . Three Years
Lease.
''What in thunder am I going to
do?" queried gentleman who recent
ly moved out in the western portion OF
the city, Of circle of his down town
friends.
"A few weeks ago." he continued,
II leased a house for three years. The
neighborhood was represented to be
quiet, orderly and respectable. My
wife is a timid, delicate woman, easily
frightened. We have been living in
our new home about three weeks. Let
me give you brief summary of events.
A few nights after we got settled, we
were wakened by a woman screaming
"murder" 1t proved to be our next
door neighbor, and her husband was
chasing her about the back yard with
an ak. A few days later, my wife had
occasion to drop into the house of an
other neighbour She called at a most
inopportune moment as the lord
of the household was choking
his wife up against the wall
and endeavoring to make her
promise she wouldn't 20 out again
evenings without his permission. But
that isn't all. Two doors north Of US
the husband and his wife got into a
pitched battle Sunday afternoon. She
undertook to chop the family carriage
into kindling wood with an ak, because
her husband wouldn't take her out
driving. He retaliated by knocking
her down with his fist and breaking
out couple of her teeth. Some brats
of boys drowned Mrs. NJ. S cat in the
cistern, and to cap the climax, tramp
had fit on the back porch this morn
ing. What in heavens name am to
do, don't know"
His friends were unable to advise
him, and when last seen five fairly
good.looking young married men were
gazing at themselves in the mirror
back of the Body house bar, and one
of the bartenders was tenderly squeez-
ing handful of mint, while the other
was fishing in the depths of a bottle of
branded cherries with fork.
The mournful man was obtaining
solace in his hour of misery.-Toledo

STRANGE CONDOLENCES.
eons Instances Of the Efficacy 81 ObeyinG
Queer Orders.

Some Instances Of the Efloaoy 81 0beyinS
Queer Orders.
The London Spectator lately had
clever article entitled "The Tyranny of
Coincidence" The example shown Is
of lady who was driving outside OF
Athens. When the horses were halted
one Of the team refused his oats. The
Greek coachman insisted that the
horse was under spell. The young
English lady had an "evil eye" The
man told Miss Symonds to spit-that
was the only cure. The young woman
was forced to go through the unlady-
like performance, and at once the horse
took to his feed. '"The coincidence
rivited the chains of superstition upon
the driver tighter than ever" Many
condolences of q similar character
must occur to the reader. Here is .
case: A child was told to put four
leaf clover in his left shoe, and was as
sured that he would be sure to find
something" The little boy did so, and
had hardly moved out of his tracks in a
large grass-grown pasture before he
found an old half-dollar Of IN ancient
date, evidently lost years before. The
child was not superstitious, and FORUM
ately the parents were not. The matter
of coincidence was explained to him,
and among other things he was plenti-
fully supplied with four-leaf clovers.
but he never found anything. The
origin Of s,1nerstitiOn associated with
amulets or any material objects must
owe its being to just such condolences.
Among those who are not educated it
may be that the tyranny of coincidence
does exist, but it should not hold with
those having sound minds. We all
have, however, dark chamber in our
brains, and it is there that the owls
and bats of superstition flap their
wings.
