How to Entertain cerv.ra.

In order to promote an early peace
between SPANS falling empire and our
country it might be well as soon as the
captured Spanish admiral reaches the
harbor of New York TO show him that
great city with all its coast defenses and
resources and then place him on board
the New York Central and Hudson
River railroad anSl take him to Albany,
thence to Buffalo, Cleveland and Chi
cago. Then send him to Indianapolis,
st. Louis Cincinnati, Louisville, Nash
vile, Richmond, Fort Monroe and
Washington. After he had seen all
these great cities and the fertile coun-
try that supports them and crossed the
bright shining rivers that gather up the
waters of the continent and empty them
into the ocean, and the great shipyards
where our warships are building, then
place him on an ocean greyhound and
send him to Spain that he may inform
her queen and cabinet of the folly of
continuing war either on land or sea
with such nation as ours.--Columbus

what have seen in the Gay, the feet Is
now made up as follows: The battleship
Pelayo, Of 9,917 tons, with q crew Of
500 men, ] suppose beyond question the
best ship Spain has, perhaps the only
one we should call first class; the Car

tleship, but obviously of inferior build.
She is of 0,223 tons aud has q crew Of
$50. Already there are ugly rumors as
to her effectiveness. The Vitoria,
which think we should describe as an
old broadside ironclad of 1880 tons,
with crew Of 500, has now been added
to the feet, but have not been able to
see her at close quarters. The first class
protected cruiser Lepanto. of A. S26 tons,
said to be really good ship, is still fit
ting out at Cartagena, but is expected
here soon. Her companion snip, the
cruiser Alfonso XIII, which was count
ed as glory to the fleet till the other
day, no longer counts as anything now |;
either her guns were too neavy or her
engines too weak. Anyhow, she has
proved unseaworthy and is consigned to
the dockyard. Some connect the minis
ter IS visit with her failure. The Prin-
cess of the Austrias which they tell me
is reckoned in England among the ef-
fective fleet, lies beside the dock, a mere
unfinished hulk, just as on shat morn
ing nearly two years ago when, after
the vain attempts Of all the engineers to
launch her, it was found that in the
night she had launched herself.

Raverenoe For YaIor.

Let this he our anniversary of reverence reverence for fortitude, patriotism, lib erty, union, for the supreme surrender of home, happiness, life and love which those who died ill these wars endured. They had faith. They died for their faith. No higher tribute can fall upon their graves With them, for us at least, there is no death, no departure, no separation. These honored dead are with us as when we cheered the resolute column which went sweeping to the wars. They will pass in review before the shades of their mighty captains as they did in the old days. What they did is our own. Their achievements are our heritage Their valor is our pride Their example is legacy beyond that of ransoms or principalities. The one tribute we can pay them is in the veneration with which we approach their graves. And from this veneration let us likewise take and cherish that noblest lesson of patriot ism lor which they gave their lives.-John Russell Young.

 "My last recollection of the camp in which we were mustered in, said the old soldier, twas of my mother. We had been in camp for days, for weeks, in fact, fill ing up the regiment and drilling and get ting equipped and getting ready generally Finally we were mustered in, and the neX day after that we started.
 ''It was nightfall when we fell in f the last time in the company streets of first camp and marched out and fog on the color line. There was a great q there, relatives and friends and sights come to see the regiment off. In frontN my own company l could see my fathe and mother, come to see the last of theiS boy before he went to war. was the appld of my mothers eye, knew that, and l had expected to see her break down com pletely when the regiment marched away, but she stood as firm as rock.
 ''When the regiment came home, we marched up through the same street that we had marched down years before-night again it was, too-with band of music, with fireworks flying everywhere, and with crowds on the sidewalk cheering, to the town hall, where there was banquet and speech from the mayor, and so on. When this was nearly over, my father and my brother, who had come to meet me, went to tell my mother was coming.
 "Home was half mile or more away. A bunch of us, men of the regiment, start ed from the hall together. They fell off one after another until finally went on alone along the familiar street. It was bright moonlight. Far ahead at the cor her of the street down which I must turn for home, saw her. She was waiting.
 'When had come to her, she lifted up her hands and pronounced my name. That was all. And then her arms were about my neck and my old blue overcoat was wet with her falling tears. Her son had come home. ''-New York Sun.

A MEMORIAL DAY FANCY.

Bury them under flowers, with wreaths at the
 feet and head.
 To these of the dead all honors, for they are
 the nations dead,
 Who sleep with the swords long rusted aside
 of the palsied hands In world where no word is spoken that man of us understands. Though now and then there's a rustic seems moving among the leaves, A gust of wind in the tree tops or forest of branches heaves, And, standing here in the shade of shafts of marble and of stone, We start, for heart is beating, and we know we are not alone Alone where our dead are lying, alone with thousand dead,
 Alone, and these graves around us, each with it pillowed headi
 There are no dead forever where faith in the dead remains | The blood that has sealed the nation is blood of our living veins.
 So keep the tryst unbroken that comes as the
 year rolls round
 And bring your springtime tribute for Gods | prisoners underground Who peer from the graves to beckon and pluck at our garments hem.
 They need us, but, ah, more sorely the nation Is needing themi
 How often have fancied, an idle whim, may | be,
 But the image is often pictured, and close my | eyes and see Battalions grave and spectral in march and | countermarch
 And never word is spoken under the sky s l black arch,
 But with the old maneuvers, with the old
 precision, too, March till the dawning shimmers the souls | of the white review;
 A common camp in the moonlight, with never | thought to slay
 In the hearts of the loyal legion or in those of the rebel gray.
 The fiery souls of the southland who drew the sword with Lee, The men of that days Ulysses and those who | marched to the sea,
 From their unsealed graves in the moonlight
 in the trappngs of war come forth, The boys of the cotton country and those of | the loyal north,
 And some who are weak and wounded, who | faint in the toilsome way, . Seem happy to lean on the helping arm of ei- | ther the blue gray, | And the angel of peace is smiling, all passion | less and white,
 On the souls of our heroes camping under the 1 stars tonighti .......... Joseph Dana Miller in New York Sun.
