CLARA BELLIES THANKS.
DEAR G. C. FRIENDS: Although have been

| and its associations.
| / wish to thank you all for your kindness in
responding to Sister Annie LIS appeal for her
| TO enable mo to reach q warmer Climate.
l arrived here, after five days and nights
travel, very tired, but am getting rested.
Ny uncle is a soldier. ! never saw him until
| met him Mt Ogden on the arrival of the train
| 1 was welcomed warmly by him and his family.
As yet cannot say what think of the West,
as have not been able 20 get out; but think
| favorably Of the climate, and tho change has
done me good.
We are about two miles from Great Salt Lake,
and can see its waters gistening in the noon
| light from our piazza. From the other side OF
| the honse loom up the Wasatch Mountains,
| about four miles distant. The atmosphere is
very clear and one see plainly for a long
| distance
The Union Pacific Railroad is just In front
| OF us, and the Denver e. Lilo Grande trains pass
| back of uncle's residence.
Icontracted quite severe cold, and had quite
| a cough the week after l arrived here, but since
got over that have been feeling as we'll as
can be expected.
used to have quite number Of c. c. corrs-
spondcnts and if any of my old friends see this,
or new ones either, | would be pleased to hear
from them. In c. C. bonds

C. C. MEMORIES.
"Tnled la the countless chambers Of the brain,
Our thoughts are linked by many n hidden chain.
Awake but o,Ic. and 10! what myrads rise;
Each stamps its image ne the other fiies."
So wrote the bard Of old, aud so hath realiza-
ton proven the truthfuncss of the lines. Thoro
are connected with our c. c. days, as in other
days Of cur lives, memories; some sweet and
pleasant, some sad and regretful.
Memory, you know, ia tho looking glass In
which VIC see the past reflected.
1t is a truth that the life we live now we will
live again in memory, which when lived will
be an era Of sweetness and case, bringing Us the
consciousness of duty done; or il will be era
filed With regrets and res,lessness. bringing tho
consciousness OF duty neglected and undone.
At the beginning of the new year. when
memory is always given full sway, and rs past
scenes. days and associations rise up before us.
and we meet them again face to face as we
lived in the days that are gone; when tho many
experiences since the day that the c. C. was
given favor by the pioneer ones of our Club
rise up before you, what are your memories?
Arc they sad aud regretful, or are they sweet
and pleasant2
Have you the pleasant memory of kind words
spoken. of dark lines frightened. or have you
the sad memory of nnknd words and lines that
have been made darker for the words uttered
If it is, the former life to you is saddened az
the wheel Of time starts 10 make another revolu-
ton, giving TO the year 1895 it's place in the
epoch of time but f it be the latter life ia still
more sweet and pleasant. There are memories
connected with our C. G. days that arc very
endearing and pleasant; memories that come
from long and pleasant association, aud years
OF endearing friendship, marked by days that
were bright and cloudless, of days that were
dark and sunless.
The bitter and sweet have been so mixed
that we have accepted these opposites az medi-
ums of good, aud their memory brings good
ness and good cheer TO our souls.
Brother, sister! what your memories to-
day Bring forth the hidden chain, and tell
us of tho links that time has welded and nodded
into this chain.
Are there broken links, so severed that the
remnants of this chain give you wierd. dis
NAL feeling to behold? Are there blighted
homes. broken family circles. severed ties of
love, silent footsteps and hushed voices?
Docs memory carry you as 1t does many Of US
to a grave ont in the cold, where ali light and
love seem buried?
If SO, this sad memory may be frightened by
donning the robes of sunshine and going into
homes that have been similarly darkened. aud
by your genial presence dispel the gloom from
their lives
God bath darkened your home, my brother,
my sister. TO give you the spirit of sympathy
for the saddcned ones Of our households. and
to you He says: Co. and let that spirit shine
in all OF its fullness. making life to them
sweeter and brighter, and showing them the
true worth of sympathizing friends"
60 10 the distressed and weary, speaking to
them words of love and comfort and SEQ the
pale lips smile and the haggard countenancs
light up which will come to you in after years
as sweet memories. By making them happy
You will become happy, and your life be one Of
happiness both in deed and in memory.
Does not memory to you bring the dear old
NATIONAL TRIBUNE into kind rememb rance
for all 1t hath done for us, giving as aid and
encouragement to form the strong and happy
household Of Home Workers that we are?
Will we not always stand up for it, and be
ever ready to show that the soldiers and our
eountry's friend is our friendr
Let The NATIONAL TRIBUNE be ours in
work, ours in friendship and ours in memory
Those of us who have been so long connected
together and have spent years in pleasant as
ISOLATION in the exchange Of ideas have felt the
cords of love grow stranger and the ties Of
friendship dearcr until now tho Loyal Home
Workers seem to be part of our lives, and we
wonder what We would do without them to
help. aid and cheer US.
Then, let us draw nearer to each other max
ing ourlves better indeed, now, and better in
memory in days to come.

PASSING IN REVIEW.
II. Purdy, Springfield, VT, thinks that IL
DIR. Cbanning's analysis Of Napoleon's charac-
ter in Appleton's Fifth School Reader, is cor.
rect he must have been pretty cheap hero,
and his eagle, when compared with Washing

SAID of Louis Napoleon by Rev. j. Abbott, in
his life of Bonsparte, are believed to have
been paid for by the nephew.
