THE SONG.
JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY,

There is ever song somewhere. my dear,
There Is ever something sings always;
There's the song Of the lark when the skies
And the song of the thrush when the
skies are gray.
The sunshine showers across the grain,
And tho blue5ird trills in the orchard
tree;
And in and out when the caves drip rain,
The swallows are twitting ceaselessly.
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear,
BE the skies above or dark or fair;
There is song that our hearts may hear
Ihere Is ever song somewhere, my dear
1here Is ever song somewhere!
There is ever song somewhere, my dear,
In the midnight black or the midday
blue;
The robin pipes when the sun is here,
And the cricket chirrups the whole
night through;
The buds may blow and the fruit may
grow
And the autumn leaves drop crisp and
sere;
But whether the sun, or the rain, or the
snow,
There is a song somewhere, my dear.
There is ever song somewhere, my dear.
There is ever q song somewhere.
BE the skies above or dark or fair;
There is ever song that our hearts may
hear
There is ever song somewhere, my dear
There Is ever song somewhere.

A Husbands Deep Devotion to His
Dead Wife's Memory.

"If you die, l will sleep by your
grave all the rest of my life" This
remarkable VOW was made fifteen years
ago to his sick wife by Edwin L. Nor
rison, at that time chief clerk of the
the Pennsylvania freight department
at MEANWHILE, OHIO. He built rude
hut at the side Of his wife's grave in
the cemetery. Now Edwin L. Morri-
son, once the handsome railroad man,
is old, wrinkled and haggard, but still
sits in his rude hut by the side of the
grave of the woman he loved so we'll.
For fifteen years he has kept up this
solemn vigil. In rain or shine, sum-
mer or winter, he fingers around the
little spot where his loved one lies.
Day after day during so many years,
he has spent amid the gloom of this
old grave yard. No strife ofthe outer
world mars his calm existence.

1t was four or five days before 1
climbed the stairs again. The room
which had visited was now occupied
by another family.
"There was sick man here" said
to the woman who answered my knock.
ayes, but he's dead and buried" ;"
she replied.
"And the little girl-the sick man S
daughter"
"Meg-why, she jumped into the
river after they took her father away"
That was all. Not a sigh-not a
word Of regret-nor a whisper of pity.
Down on the other floors they had
seen coffin carried in and out-had
heard the sobs of a child as she fol-
lowed it-had perhaps lowered their
voices for moment in the presence OF
death. The dead had been carried
to pauper's grave-the living had
walked down to the river-out to the
end of the whart-and with never a
look around nor a word she had leaped
into the water and gone to join her
dead!

A WOman's Hand.
Atlanta COnstitutiOnl.

Colonel w. e. P. Breckenridge an
nounces that he is out OF politics. He
will never apply for or accept pub
lie position.
We have no desire to recall the
story Of the colonel's downfall, but
the close OF his political career has a
lesson in it which should be needed.
The peopleof this country are not as
good as they might be, but they are
united in the determination not to ac-
cept the leadership Of men who are
guilty of scandalous relations with
women whose youth and helplessness
should have been their protection.
Breckinridge was silver tongued ora
tor and popular idol. He was strong
ly entrenched in the affections OF his
people. He had scared so high that
his friends confidently expected him
to 60 still higher.
Suddenly the strong man was
thrown down into the mire by a
wcman's hand. He was pushed by
that same hand from his lofty station.
One by one all the places that had
known him were barred against him
by that little white hand.
In our civilizatian the whole world
is unit against great man when he
wrongs woman and leaves her to bear
the burden OF her shame, while he
poses before the people as an apostle
of mortality and wisdom. Then, the
silver tongue is only sounding brass.
Then the strong man becomes as
weak as a child. Then his boasted
wisdom IS iolly, and his eloquence is
mere drivel.
Sometimes little, soft, white hand
has nerves of steel under its velvety
surface-some times it has the grip Of
a tigress-sometimes it can pull down
the mighty and cas-, them into pit OF
darkness. 1t may be only woman's
hand, but with a burning wrong be.
hind it no man can measure its
power.

his room and was all day in tears. He
never told his wife OF the revelation
by Lucas, and told it only TO his pri-
vate secretary.
A few days ago Major Charles w.
Cowtan, OF New York city, wrote your
correspondent, saying that he had in
his possession the commission Of an
officer in a North Carolina regiment,
which he had picked up on the battle
field OF Gettysburg. His regiment,
the tenth New York, held the line
at that point just after terrible charge
by the North Carolinians, in which one
iairhaired and boyish officer was brave
in the extreme. Major Cowtan had
examined some dead confedera,es,
who so thickly s,rewed the ground at
the works, and near one found torn
and bloody commission on which was
legible only "John Ca"-ofthe name.
Major Cowtan expressed desire to
return this commission if any relatives
of the dead soldier could be found.
The commission was found to be that
of the long lost John Caldwell. Yes
day the commission was sent to Mrs.
Caldwell, and this blood stained and
torn piece of parchment is, she writes,
all there is on earth to remind her OF
the dead son. For years she cherished
the hope that her son was alive and in
some prison. In fact, all the prisons
were searched for him, through tie
influence of Governor (now SENATOR
Vance 1t has required twenty four
years to ascertain the tsue story. AT
the same time the commission was
sent her she was first made acquainted
with the facts told Governor Cald-
we'll in 1873.
From General Lanes letter We
quote this noble tribute to our brave
boys:
"Being a professor in the North
Carolina Military Institute at Char
lotte at the outbreak of hostilities
accompanied the corps when Gov
Ellis ordered it to the camp of in
struction at Raleigh as drillmasters
and was in position to know, per
sonally, something of the ardent pa,
triotism of the boys generally Of the
old North State. subsequently com
manded some of that corps in many
of the hardest fought battle of the
war. All, l think, attained official
positsons; and the graves of the dead
and the scars of the living attest theil
valor.
