II becomes our sad duty to pay
the 1t tribute Of respect to the
memory Of our departed Brother,
Caesar S. Dreyfus, who departed
tins life on April 14th 1900.
"Our friend and brother be-
lieved In the Fstherhood of God
and the Brotherhood Of Man, and
he clung with ,enaclty to the
teachings Of our order because such
is it's faith and creed. The cardinal
virtues Of Friendship Love and
Truth were to him a reality, and
those sublime convictions, Faith,
Hope, and Charity, that stand as
guardians to the soul, were to him
an inspiration, making duty as he
saw It, obedience u the Golden
Rule"
lie was ever mindful OF his duty
towards his poor and afflicted Bro
theirs and ready and willing to dis.
psnse charity where charity was
needed.
In the death Of Brother Dreyfua
onr Order has lost oneof its stauncb.
est and traest members, his family
. dutlful and loving ron and the
community one Of its best and no
blest men.
THEREFORE,, BE- IT RESOLVED;
That We extend to the family of the
deceased Brother our most heart
felt sympathy IN this their hour of
sorrow and trouble aud that a copy
hereof be spread upon the minutes

The correspondent of the metro

Herein lies the opportunity of the
country journal to occupy a field
which the metropolitan journal

policy of the local country journal
should consist in gathering every

The Supreme Court of Tennessee
has decided that q lawyer has the
right to shed tears to influence the
verdict of a jury. and, in fact, says
that if he can bring tears to his eyes
at will he is derelict if he neglects
to do so. The case was one in which
the defendant had appealed on the
ground that the weeping of the attor-
neg for the plaintiff had unduly inhu-
enced the jury. The court found that
the point had never been raised be
fore, and asserted that the manner of
defense must be left largely to the
judgment of attorneys. Some" said
the judge, deal wholly in logic argu-
ment without any establishment 9th
ers use RHETORICAL and occasional
flights Of fancy and imagination. 9th
ers rely upon noise and gesticulation,
earnestness Of manner and vehemence
of speech. Others appeal to the pas
sions, prejudices and sympathies Of
the jury. Others combine all of these
NODES" He declares that no cast
iron rule should be made, but that
tears have always been considered
legitimate arguments before a jury,
and would appear to be one Of the
natural rights Of counsel as it would
be difficult to decide whether or not
the emotion was natural If such n
point should be raised. He says a
trial judge should not interfere with
the shedding Of tears unless they are
INDUCED in - such an excess as to
Impede, embarrass, or delay the bust
ness before the court."-Ch.cago Trib.

SONG OF THE SWORD.

I remember the day that she hung me
here
On the wall by the musket's side
And kissed nay blade with reverent
touch
For the honor of him who died;
heard her say that served him well,
And he trusted his life to me
As he gr%ped my hilt with his daring
And we swung to the victory.
She came TO me in the dark alone
As the long years tluttered by,
And l heard her song and l felt her kiss
And thrilled to her tender sigh;
i knew that she saw us in visions sweet
When the bugles blew to the charge
And he swung me forth to the cleaning
sun
And l swept through the human large.
She came one day when her locks were
gray,
And took me from the wall;
She wiped the rust Of her tears away,
For again rang the bugle call;
She laid my hilt in stalwart hand
My matters son, knew,
And the drums awoke and the troops
marched by,
And the trumps of the battle blewl
l leaped to the life of the battlefront,
The spirit of strife awoke;
/ danced in the light of my blade that
shone
Through the fame of the battle.smoke.
My steel rang clear on the foeman's steel,
Then, stiffened and cold and still,
felt the clasp of the hand that had
drawn
NV blade with a hero-will.
am hanging again on the chimney wall;
The summers have bloomed and fled;
There are two meath the hill that are
slumbering sweet
The dead that are greatly dead
Sweetheart, mother, she softly glides
Through the shadows wherein / hang,
And lays her ear to my blade to hear
The echo of battles clang.
Her lips are warm with the breath of love;
Oh! woman who gave her brave
To her country's call and the battle thrall
And the peace of the soldiers grave!
She breathes her prayer in her tender
way,
And listens to hear me tell
How fierce they rode to the lines Of death,
How nobly they fought and fell.
Her gray head bends to the song, the
dusk
Steals silently through the room;
The birds are asleep in their little nests
Where the cannon were wont to boom.
Her cheek is soft on my polished face,
Her pale hand claspeth me,
All! worn, wan lady, you're dreaming to.
