THE DYING SOLDIER.
The bravest are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring"

I am dying; is she coming? Throw the
window open wide.
Is she coming? OH love her more than all
the world beside.
In her young and tender beauty, must, oh.
must she bear this loss?
Saviour, hear my poor petition; teach her
how to bear this cross.
Help her to be calm and patient. when I
moulder in the dust;
Let her say and feel, my Father, that Thy
ways are true and jnst
Is she coming? Go and listen; I would see
her tace once more,
I would hear her speaking to me, ere ife's
feeble dream is DER.
woulI fold her to my bosom, look into
her soft, bright eye;
/ would tell her how / lover her: kiss her
once before die.
Is she coming? Oh. It's evening, and my
darling comes not still
Lift the cortain; it grows darker; it is sun
set on the hill:
All the event dews are filling; I am cold;
the hight is gone.
Is she comint? Softly; softly comes deaths
: silent footsteps on.
/ am going; C ME and kiss me; kiss ME for
my darling wife;
Take for her my parting blessing, take the
last warm kiss Of life
Tell her will wait ogreet her where the
:. good and lovely are.
In he no" untouched by sorrow: tell her
:: she must met me there.
is she coming? L # the curtsin; let me see
? the tai Ing Light;
Oh! want to live 10 see her surely, she
will come torigh'!
Surely ere the da lght dieth, will fold
b 10 my breast,
With her heart npon my bosom, calmly I
could SILK to rest
It is hard 10 die without her-look, think
=. shes coming now;
/ can almost feel her kisses on my faded
cheeksa and brow.
4 can almost hear her whisper; feel her breath
upon my cneek--
Hark. l hear the front door open. Is she
- coming? Did she speak?
No! Well, drop the curtain softly; Twill see
her face no more,
Till I see 1t smiling on me on the bright
and better shore,
Tell her she must come and meet me in
that Eden, land of light;
Tell he III be waiting for her where there
is no death, no night.
Tell her that called her darling, blessed
her with my dying breath
Come and kiss me for my Lizzie; tell her
love outliveth death

The Mandolin Concert

Those who attended the mandolin con-
cert given by the Misses Young. under
the auspices Of the kindergarten depart
meut of the college last Friday even
ing, heard a remarkable performance.
To most people the mandolin is asso-
ciatcd with light and popular music,
and TO hear selections from Chopin,
Moszkowski and Schubert admirably
rendered was revelation indeed With
shading that would do credit to violin
virtuoSo, one was impressed with the
artistic Interpretation, and faultless
technique; and it was difficult 10 be-
lieve that one was not listening to a
string quartctte instead Of a mandolin
duet The Chopin waltz, op. GI, No. I
was interpreted most satisfactorily as
well as the nocturne OPP. 9. Among the
best numbers were the Spanish dances
numbers and 1, from Moszkowsli.
Showing the marvellous powers of the
/ instrument, which i'm the hands of thcs,
artists gave every tone color from tn,
rich deep tones of the cello 90 the high
violin tones, it was most wonderful
performance. and demonstrated On,
ability of the players TO hold the otteu
tiou of the audience the entire evening.
% he arrangement of tho numbers
might have been improved so that Oh,
"Lu.luby' need not have followed th,
. "Cradle Song, and more brilliant mum
hers might have been pat at tile end o
the program, bat one could easily max,
so slight defect in poe.m-making.
All were impressed with the abseuc,
of afIoctaton ina these players. thci
manner being most modest and f.e,
from "stag,4,s-.
After the concert @ very pleasant i'm
formal reception was given by the kin
dcrpartucrs i'm their rooms, giving thos,
who attended am opportunity OF meet
ing the Misses Young
The kindergarten department is to b,
congratulated by giving the music lover
of Alma "A novel and exceptionally fin,

DECORATION DAY.
Commander Stone Issues an Order Re
gnrdinE It's observance.

Commander Israel w. Stone of the De-
partment of the Potomac. G. A. r., has
issued the following order in connection
With the celebration of Decoration day:
The Both of May having been estab-
lished a Memorial Day., and in many
states, as well as in this department. a
legal holiday, in order that the people
generally may join in some formal obser-
walton Of the day, all are morally bound
to do so. Services are held in. all the
cemeteries in and about Washington
where ex-soldiers and sailors lie buried.
and it is particularly reprehensible and
unbecoming for any ex-soldier to use the
time set aside for this special memorial
purpose for recreation OF any KIND or III
any direction.
..Thirty-three years ago the beautiful
ceremony Of strewing fragrant flowers and
holding solemn service over the graves or
our departed comrades was first ordered
by that peerless general, John A. Logan.
