A Drop of Water.

[Charles S. Whitney in The Museum.I
The water which is now in the ocean
and in the river has been many times
in the sky. The history of a single
drop taken out of glass of water IS
really a romantic one. No traveller
has ever accomplished such distances
in his life. That particle may have
rehected>the palm trees ofcoral islands,
and has caught the sun ray in the arch
that spans a cloud clearing away
from the valleys of Cumberland or
California. 1t may have been carried
by the Gulf Stream from the shores of
Florida and Cuba, to be turned into a
crystal of ice besides the precipices OF
Spitzbergen. 1t may have hovered
over the streets of London, and have
formed part of murky fog, and have
glistened on the young grass blade OF
April in Irish fields. 1t has been lifted
up to heaven and sailed in great wool
pack clouds across the sky, forming
part of cloud mountain echoing with
thunder. 1t has hung in a Aeecy veil
many miles above the earth at the
close of long seasons of still weather
1t has descended many times over in
showers to refresh the earth, and ha:
sparkled and bu5bled in messy foun'
tains in every country in Europe. And
it has returned to its native skies hav
ing accomplished its purpose, to b<
stored once again with electricity t.
give it new life-producing qualities ane
equip it as heavens messenger to eartf
once more.

the South, who have never yet faltered
or failed in the performance of any
duty, either in war or in peace, imposed
upon them for the Southern cause.
Their spirit and determination anima-
ted the men of the South at the scene
of the first conflict; they were the
most constant and unremitting patriots
and workers during their country's
mighty struggle, and the last to aban-
don the sacred cause after Southern
hopes vanished behind the clouds at
Appomatox."
This "Battle Abbey" will not be
dedicated alone to the history and
deeds of the civic and military heroes
of the greatest of civil wars; but the
general commanding will see that
within its sacred portals sufficient and
conspicuous space will be reserved for
the names and fame of the "Heroines
OF the South"
