DECORATION DAY TRAGEDY.

Decoration day was hot that year,
and the roses, lilies and lilacs dropped
in the sun almost as soon as they
were laid upon the graves. Stout wo-
men mopped their faces constantly,
and the children were inclined to be
fractions. The celebration had, how
ever, been a great success, and no one
was in hurry to leave the ceme-
terry.
A lean, fresh-faCed elderly woman
stood at the entrance to a well-kept
lot and looked lovingly at the mounds
of flowers which almost hid two of
the mounds in it, She looked up as
someone paused behind her.

Pause and shed tear today

Dead for many and many a May!
Dead and dust, perChanCe it may be
Dead and dust. but long ago
Marched away in flush of manhood,
Glory girt-this dust below.
Marched away as brave men, hearing
Call of country, yours and mine,
From the hillside and the valley,
From the homlock and the pine.
Hearts aleap and pulses bounding,
Loyal whether gray or blue;
Loyal whether cross or crescent;
Duty-that was all they knew
Oh, the glory Of their story!
Oh, the graves that dot the plain!
On, the mournful tale of battles!
Oh, the partings and the pain!
Years and years the grass has bios
somed,
Faded, died, their graves upon;
Years and years yet not forgotten.
Memries such as theirs live on.
And upon fame's sacred altar,
Writ mid deeds of heroes, glow
Names of these, our soldiers, sleep

CONQUERoR AND CONQUERED.

Have you noticed how gentle the
man who wore the conquering blue is
when he meets the one who donned
the conquered gray? The victor has
no sheer for the vanquished. The late
war with Spain, which saw the sons
of the brothers who had once been
enemies stand shoulder to shoulder
in the face Of a common foe, has
but cemented anew the friendship
which began in 1865, and each sue
cessive Decoration day will see it
closer yet The man who was right
can well afford to clasp the hand of
the one who acknowledges that he
was wrong in the past by giving up
his son to fight for tae grand old
flag.

True, he has his pension and perhaps
he lives in one of the national homes
prepared for him. But what of that,
when he has faced death in hun
dred forms and perhaps drags about a
mutilated body! He gave years of his
young life to the purchase of freedom
rather than to the accommodating of
worldly goods. Is this much to give
him in return? Let us not, then, wait
until he has died in obscure poverty
to place his name on monument or
scroll, but show him now the love and
gratitude which will make bright his
declining years.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

BY the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron had fed,
Whence the blades of the grave grass
culver.
Asleep are the ranks of the dead
Under the sod and the dew;
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the one. the Blue;
Under the other, the Gray.
These in the robings of glory,
Those in the gloom of defeat;
All with the battle blood CORY
In the dusk of eternity meet
Under the sod and the dew
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the laurel the Blue;
Unde' the willow, the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours
The desOlate mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the fOe,--
Under the sod and the dew;
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the laurel the Blue;
Under the willow, the Gray.
So with an equal splendor,
The morning sun-rays fall,
With a touch impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for ALL
Under the sod and the dew
Waiting the judgment day;
Broidered with gold, the Blue;
Mellowed with gold, the Gray
So, when the summer calleth
On forest and field of grain,
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drops of the rain;
Under the sod and the dew;
Waiting the judgment day;
Wet with the rain, the Blue;
Wet with the rain. the: Gray
Sadly but not with upbraiding
The generous deed was done;
In the storm Of the years now fading
No drawer battle was won;
Under the sod and the dew;
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the blossoms, the Blue;
Under the garlands, the Gray.
No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger forever
When the laurel the graves Of our
dead
Under the sod and the dew
Waiting for Judgment day;
Love and tears for The Blue;
Tears and love for the Gray
