REMEMBERED BEST OF ALL.
When rn looking back across the time worn

When I'm looking back across the time worn
pages
OF the book of years, one face always see,
Just one gentle face, that alters not nor ages,
But seems now and evermore the same to me.
I can feel a loving hand In mine intwining
When my faltering childish steps were fain to
fall,
With its watchtui eyes like stars upon me shin.
ing
IT'S the face that ] remember best of ALI
When look around and memory is bringing
Back again the echoed songs Of long ago,
Songs that ever down the halls Of time are ring.
ing,
Songs that set my listening youthful heart
aglow
All the visions bright of years gone by they bring
me,
And they seem to hold my spirit in their thrall,
But the simple air dear voice used to sing me
Is the song that remember best OF ALL
When dream Of all the gladness that has blest
me
And the sunshine that has made life's pathway
bright,
When long from all the toll Of earth to rest me
Till the dawning OF the day that knows no
night,
I remember all the love the years have taught me,
And the happiness that filled them recall,
But mothers love and all the Joy 1t brought me
Is the love that remember best OF all!

The English Army Omcer.

In olden days in England the army
and the church were the only callings
that could in any way be considered
aristocratic, for they claimed almost a
monopoly of physical and mental pow
er. Times have changed, but the pow
ers that decide what Is and what is
not aristocratic are intensely conserva-
tive, and they still uphold the claims Of
the army to distinction of this sort.
The soldier, as attached by service
to his sovereign, the recognized head
of the aristocracy, is an acknowledged
supporter and member of that class.
The military element represents the
physical force Of the country, to which
in any extremity the final appeal must
be made, and so it's officers are part
of the ruling power, which Is assumed
to be aristocratic. The soldier, too,
draws his income directly from the
state and is not compelled to seek the
favor of the general public, as men,
bers Of other professions must. He Is
Independent of all popular influence
and pressure and so stands high In So
cial rank and esteem. - London An
