A peace that's calm and holy now invests
the battled hill,
And where the steel tipp'd legions fought
the multitudes are STILL
Columbia lays her faireSt wreathS upon
her dearest shrine,
And eloquence Is heard where sleep the
heroes of the line.
For a Nation stands uncovered in the
sunshine and the shade
And Summer sheds her blossoms where the
soldiers couch is made.
No more along the rivers stand the mar
shaded sons of Mars.
No longer CLEAN the bivouac fires beneath
the watchful stars;
The bluebrd wooes his sweetheart where
the cannons Numbered forth,
| Where marched the men of Southland
'gainst the gallants of the North;
The kiss % love has blotted out the blood
upon the sword,
And blOodlesS are the ripDleS of the we'll
contested ford;
And not a star is missing in the Banner
OF the Free
That waves with pride and beauty on the
land and on the sea
They sleep beneath the blossoms in the
homeland Of the pine.
They camp where seeks the southern bee
the nectar of the vine:
They hear no more the bugle blast so pier
cling and SO shrill.
No more they charge the grim redoubt, no
more they take the hill;
But meath the lily's robes of white and
meath the blood-red rose
Together sleep the men who once in bat
tie met foes;
No more the challenge shakes the air. no
more the battle yell,
But where they stood an angel stands and
whispers: "All is welI."

fishery did not prosper with such a
large disturbing influence about. But
it is not little singular that this
year again, so far as the season has
gone, little has been doing, and surely
this cannot be occasioned by fear Of

the reason, the fact is too true that

When Bert looked up after finishing the
wreath, she caught sight of figure where
She had seen the one the night previous.
Moving among the pines a short distance
away was a man who seemed to be looking
for a certain spot.
Bert unconsciously drew back and watched
him.
She could see whenever he Strengthened
up that he had the bearing of a soldier, and
that he was still young, as if he had entered
the army when but mere boy.
She saw him lean eagerly toward a tree
and fix his eyes on certain spot in the
bark
For several minutes he stood thus, run.
ming his hands over the surface, as if con-
hrming' by this means the evidence of sight.
When he Strengthened again he turned his
face squarely toward the ford.
Bert saw that he carried in his hand some
thing wrapped in a dark fabric, and it
seemed to her that he carried it reverent-
~, a hero would carry furled and sa-
cred banner.
The soldiers child met the stranger face
to face as he rounded the big rock, and the
next moment, with DOTTED hat, he was bowling
to her. Bert felt a flush suffuse her cheek
in his presence, and his voice recalled her
to the present.
Miss Parker, is it not?" said the young
man, for young he was, despite the fact
that he had followed the fortunes of the
confederacy through four years of varying
war.
Il am Miss Bert Parker, only child of the
late Capt. John Parker, of company A,
-th Ohio. | am the person to whom let

"And | am the writer" interrupted the
young man.
Bert stood silent in his presence; she felt
that she was to have revealed to her the
fate Of her father, and by the enemy" who
had come up from southland for that pur-
pose.

moments Of my life" continued the young
soldier. ''Gour fathers last resting place

at the hands Of the RockIands at City

seemed to be dazea throughout tine game.
Wiley men secured lead ut the start
and were never headed, although In the
second period the hopes OF the Portland
enthusiasts arose when Capt Mckay
and his olew managed TO tie the score.
There was good sized crowd in atten-
dance and no little enthusiasm was mani
tested at . number OF fine plays that
were made. The Rocklands put up q
great game, showing mp to as good adj
vantage as any team that has been seen
In Portland this season. Tarrant did
phenomenal work. He got OF promptly

team, his playing being up to his usual
high standard.
The Rocklands began at a lively rate
and gathered In three goals IN handy
fashion. 1t looked like shut out for
the Portiands in the first period, but
Campbell came to time and landed a
goal inside Of the visitors netting. In

honors so that when the period ended the
score was tie.
