I walked to-day where you and
Together stood a year ago;
The wind was whispering in the leaves,
The water murmured from below;
And flowers nodded I'm the WOOD
The birds were singing fro.I each spray,
All Nature put her glories forth
As on that other fair spring day.
But. oh. the wind that stirred the leaves
Was whispering something sad and low
The waters answered mournfuhy-
They seemed TO laugh year ago
The birds all sang in minor strain,
What spell hung DER the leafy spot!
And every flower that met my eye
Was that pale flow'r-"forget-me
I caught the whisper OF the wind,
The murmur Of the flowing stream.
The minor sadness OF the birds,
And the forget-me nots pale CLEAN
For they but answered to the pain
Within my heart; and far and neal
I heard the echo OF my grief
He Is not here--he IS not here.
Oh. lovei alas It should be so
That we must walk henceforth apart,
We who have walked together here.
In perfect tune, heart answering heart;
No more the winds shall sing I'm joy,
No more the stream In gadness flow,
The world will never be to US

MIGHT Guido THE FRAN.

The last No. of the Geographical Jour
mai is an arctic No, being taken up IN
greater part with paper by DIT. Nansen
on some of the scientific results of his
expedition, and with discussion by dis
tinguished members Of the Royal Geo
graphical Society on the North Polar
problem, In which Dr. Nansen also took
a prominent part. DR.. Nansep adVo-
Gates another expedition In a vessel like
the Fran, but better fitted with labora-
tories for the most thorough scientific
investigations. Could an expedition Of
this kind, he says 80 north through
Boring Straits and enter the ice. thence
drift in a northerly. or perhaps north
eastery, direction, it would, he thinks,
bring with II, when it eventually emerged
into open water on the other side Of
the pole, a sum OF information which
would quite put the Fran and her men
in the shade
The subjects treated In the discussion
were the islands discovered in the Polar
area, the depth of the Polar Sea, and the
extraordinary temperature OF its waters,
the formation of the ice and its drift. the
fauna and fora of the fat ice and in
fusoria and diatoms, which are constantly
travelling across the Po.ar region, living
every summer and freezing up in the ice
every winter. Sir George Mares declared
that the Fran expedition makes 1t evil
dent that there is a dividing line across
the Polar area. somewhere from Boring
Straits TO Greenland, on the Asiatic side
of which Is light, floating young ice. and
on the American side heavy palaeocrystic
ice This does not probably. 1t was
stated, imply the existence of land In

small islands.
In this connection it may be said that

The Governor has decided to leave here

every member OF his staff has signified
his purpose of accompanying him. All
the "colOnels" who have wives will carry
them, and il is expected that about thirty

who will occupy two special cars.
The veterans who will go from here
to attend the reunion will not attempt TO
reach Nashville in time for Virginla-Day.
They will leave here on the night of the
18th, but no route has yet been selected.
and no arrangements perfected for the
trip, except that the Lee-Camp delegation

Altogether, about 100 Of Richmond's old

arrives our interest payment VIII be
