Venuss transit Unobserved.

On their way between Telriz and Tehe-
ran the members of the expedition sent
to Persia by the German government to
observe the transit of Venus met a soli-
tary European lady riding in the oppo-
site direction, a member of the English
colony, who was as clever as she was
beautiful. Having been long resident in
Persia, she was fearlessly riding alone.

Germans marvelled at such an appari-
ton in such a dreary waste-wondered
she wasn't afraid-wouldn't she let some
of them stand by till her servants and
baggage came up? No. she was quite
al her ease. and usually in her travels
was far ahead of her attendants, whose
mules. more heavily laden, could not
keep her pace.

are you, and where are you bound for?''

To observe the transit of Venus? All

a Pardon and a Reprleve.


While Governor Shaw. of Iowa. is very
much given 10 quoting statistics and 10
dry logic in his speeches. he occasionally
introduces a good story. and is also quick

times this latter ability has served him
in good stead. It was out in Nebraska
last year that the governor addressed a
meeting that was especially troublesome.

The MARCH OE PEACE.

~Ball inp' and they form at beat Of drum;
>-Marchv' and adown the street they come,
NADER tie elinS where the shadows play
And, dancing, dapple the dusty way,
Past the hedg IS whose bursting bloom
Ealls the air with sweet perfume
Jnder the blue of the bright May sky
again the heroes are marching by.
Dot as they marched in days Of old,
Young and gallant and strong and bold,
TO the stirring Tilt of a martial air
OE the Warlike note Of a bugle'S blare,
But staid and SLOW for the heads are white,
And the feet are heavy that once were light,
AID the sturdy shoulders are bending now,
And old Times fingers have marked each
brow.
NTis tWoscOre years since the war god flung
The challenge grim from his eyel tongue,
%Tts tWoscore years since the village street
Tirst heard the tramp of these marching
feet,
And men left mother and child and wife
And sought the clash of the civil strife,
TO throw their lives in the breach and fight
Dor flag and cause they deemed the right.
And now they're marching again to-day,
Old and feeble and bent and gray,
Not to the storm of shot and shell
Sor the raging rout Of the battles hell,
But to the churchyard, calm, to heap
Tributes fair where their comrades sleep,
Wreaths Of lily and rose to strew
Ger the men in gray or the men in blue.
goftly mutters the muff1ed drum,
Down through the leafy lanes they come;
Gulled by the whispering birds and bees,
Famed by the scented summer breeze
That, through the arching boughs above,
Sings the message of brother love;
On through the fair lands bleSt increase
The heroes move on their march of peace.

A Sacred Day.

Memorial Day will not fall into dis
use. Indeed, it is more enthusiastically
and actively celebrated each Yearly
the school children and the papers. More
and more is speciality made of Memori-
al Day stories and poems, to say nothing
Of other articles for the occasion. Spe-
cial issues are got out in the case of our
largest weeklies, filled with appropriate
matter. Those who are not school chill
dren, parents or teachers, and do not
take an active part in the celebration
even such commemorate the day in their
hearts when, in seclusion, their eyes fill
with tears on reading reminders Of the
terrible war time, and their hearts with
reverence for the men Ton whichever
side) who gave or risked life to defend
the principles they represented. These
men and women, youths and maids, may
not go to the church or walk in the pro-
cession; they may even go to circus or
picnic, but-they celebrate the day. The
little band of old soldiers, leading the
procession to the distant graveyard, eyes
swimming with memories of dead COM
rades and cruel battles, look askance at
the merrymakers on ball field and picnic
ground, and perhaps bitterly think:
'"They don't understand, they cannot ap-
preciate our services for them" There's
not a young man or woman on the
Northern or Southern play or picnic
ground but thinks his or her country the
greatest the sun shines on; proud of the
result Of the great struggle and would
do the utmost to preserve the Union of
which they are the heirs. Those who
enter actively into part at least of the
- i
on them depends the perpetuation of the
solemn and inspiring purpose for which
it was set apart. But let us be just and
considerate in our judgments towards
those who don't show their patriotism ex-
actly as we do, on this day, when not
only the North and South, but the diff
ferent sections Of ones own village as
well, should land do at heart) feel a
united brotherhood in the cause we hold
so dear-a free and united country
