Near Resaca, during a sharp action
General Sherman went upon a railway

making his observations and giving his
orders.
Turning he saw the head and shoulders
of the portly and magnificently proper

MEMORIAL DAY.

Oh, red, red roses, not redder are ye
Than the blood that was shed so loyalty
When our soldier heroes fought and died
For the sake Of their country, their honor,
their pridei
Friends or foes, what matters it now
Since the seal of peace has lain on each browf
Since the "union" of souls in the realms above
Has left us for memory naught save lover
in the "silent city" so STILL so fair,
Where the scent of blossoms lies in the air,
Where never a sound of strife is heard,
But only the music of breeze and bird,
We builded homes for our precious dead,
Laid flowers above each lowly head,
Covered so gently each quiet breast,
And left them in Christs sweet peace-to rest.
Do they know, l wonder, that all their own
is this day of the springtime-theirs alone2
Do they know that the flowers we bring today
Are emblems of love passed not away,
Though the years have flown since they stepped
aside
From the ranks of their soldier life and died2
Then welcome, Memorial day, once morei
All honor to heroes "gone before!''

General Kelly was once in search of a
band of guerrillas, and, coming across a
girl who had two brothers in the rebel
army, captured her, hoping to learn from
her their hiding place. The girl, Sallie

thing she knew At last the general at
his wits end, said: You may choose a
husband from my army if you will tell me
where the guerrillas are. e." AS even this

SINGING IN CAMP,
Come Of the Airs That Pound Favor with
the Boys In Blue.


Supper is at last over The pickets are
stationed, the pipes are lit, the moon rises
In all the brilliancy of an Indian summer
night and the gentle pleasure of the sur
roundings seeks voice in song. There is
no more question who will lead the sing

ment in battle. He got an unwritten and

church organ and mellow as the strains
from French horn. Possibly he is re-
minded of home and the shady gloom of
the walk through the woods to the singing
school, for without pause, like a chime
of silver bells, he trills an apostrophe to
the queen of night:
Roll on, silver moonl
Guide the traveller on his way
While the nightingale's song
Is in tune,
For never, never more
With my true love will stray
By thy sweet silver light,
Bonny moon.
Then the music and the moonlight make
him melodramatic, love and Luna mingle
in his tuneful memory, for, unconsciously
and half under his breath, he sings to his
sweetheart:
Oh, loved little beauty,
Belle Brandon,
And told her meath the old
Arbor tree
And then, as if framing in music the
thoughts of the "little beauty" in her far.
away northern home, he sings:
Dearest love, do you remember

MEMORIAL DAY.

With waving of starry banners,
With music of bugles sweet,
All day through our streets has echoed
The tramp of marching feet.
From many a mountain valley,
From city and town and hill,
Around the graves where their comrades
sleep
The soldiers gather still.
They think of the bitter partings
When first they marched away
The ranks of blue from the northland,
From the sunny south the gray
Some with hearts that were eager
And hot with the fire of youth,
Some with a purpose steady
To fight for God and truth.
They think of the battles tumult
And the cannons' sullen roar
And the yellow glow of sunset light
When the weary fight was DER,
When, gathered around the campfire,
Their yearning thoughts would roam,
As softly sweet some comrade sang
The words of 'Home, Sweet Home"
They remember the solemn roll calls
And the silent pause that came
When in the hush the sergeant called
Some missing soldiers name.
They remember the days Ct terror
And nights that were long with dread,
When left alone on the field they watched
With the dying and the dead.
With ranks that are growing thinner
Each year the soldiers meet
All day through our streets has echoed
The tramp of their marching feet
Marching closer together,
Oh, loyal ranks of blue!
In silence deep your comrades sleep,
For the weary strife is through.
Marching closer together,
Oh, patient ranks of grayi
In silence deep your comrades sleep,
And strife has passed away.
For both we mourn with loving tears.
Brave hearts on either side,
The memory of your noble deeds
Still thrills our hearts with pride.
And year by year we gather,
With wreaths and garlands gay,
To deck the graves where dreaming lie
The ranks of blue and gray.
And the grass shall wave DER the low
green tents
And blossoms crown the sod
When the last brave soldier falls asleep
In the long, sweet peace of God.
