MAY 80.

This Is the day that the nation Roes.
With its shields and bucklers OF daisy and
rose.
With It's carbines woven of violets.
Reward OF a faith that il never forgets,
With its guerdons of white. blue and red,
To honor the graves of its soldier dead
And biithely 1t goes there. once year,
To the well-marked graves of its dead and
dear:
For whenever nation marks loss
II marks 1t. indeed in the form of a cross.
Let the drum. gallant young heart beat
Let blood iow In roses. it's well and meet
So be it then. But oh. as for me.
] must plat the rue and the rosemarie
The rue and the rosemarie l bind
In wreaths for the graves cannot ind.
SO bind and so plat the wreaths will
For hearts that were never broken by
The Kissing ball from the lannon's Jaws
For the heroes who died In a silent cause

Among the effects OF Hancock Neagle.
who died few weeks ago at Los Angeles,
were found the following lines, evidently,
from an accompanying note, suggested by
the fate of Frederic ]. Grant 1t was lying
among other papers. with a letter to Nea-
gle from the late George H. Hebron. The
ines are as follows:
Down deep In the breat
OF the sea at his rest.
Lies enc Of the best.
Away from the sweep
OF the wild waves' leap.
In death. asleep.
He comes not again
Though ages have beeny
Why weep for him thent
No tear viii relieve,
Nor sigh that I heavA
1t is only TO grieve.
You may hearken the roaN
OF the wave on The shore.
TIL time be no more
But no tale will II tell
OF him We liked well;
1t Is only a kneiI
Up out OF the gloom.
Comes the voice II MS doone
He died in his bloom.
But be not oppressed,
He dweileth at rest.
On the shores of the biest"
Upon another ship he sailed,
And on another sea.
That other sea. whose hAlioEed waves
VIII lave with melody
The distant shores of paradise
For all eternity.

One day In fall, when painted leaves
In frolic winds danced down
And ripe nuts fell in pattering hail.
Jim rode away 10 town.
A little town. each street beset
With houses low and gray
Most times the sleep.est quiet place
But in the square today
Men stood in knots about lad
Who caught. hot from the wire.
The epic OF a city's doom
Chicago's mighty fire.
Ten thousand roofless. naked. faint.
The bitter sport OF fate.
In face Of winds that rudely blew.
OF frosis that might rot wait.
Looks like that fire had took your case.

An women SILVER in the cold.
An men have hearts like lead.
No man that's wuth a lick O. salt
That's At ter die er live
Will hug his quarrei-buf rise UP
An give all he can give"
That was Jim's first speech and his last.
But still his neighbors tell
How after IL a mighty shout
Across the startled fields rang out
Till echoes rose and fell
Among the hills that heard again
The old familiar piercing strain.
The ringing rebel yell

Through all t.s burning night.
No more In shock OK battle Joined
iss light shall cleaning shine
To lead to victory or death
A steady thin gray line.
Weep. Southland Weep your rsvagsd
fields.
Your homes all desoists.
Your fat lands. Scared by wars rel
seattle
Weep all your ps,.ous tasei
But smile above your happy dead.
Your martyrs truly hlest-
They fought and fell while hope was
high
Asseep in your sof, breast.
Nor dreams may come. nor hearthreak
touch.
And TO your latest ass
Your constant heart shall keep thsR
writ on its dearest page"
