No other citizens deserve so well or
the Republic as the veterans. the sur
vivors OF those who saved the Union They
did the one deed which, IL left undone,
would have meant that all else In our
history went for nothing. But for their
steadfast prowess in the greatest crisis or
our history, all our annals would be mean
ingless, and our great experiment in pop
ular freedom and self-government q
gloomy failure.

The late Sims Reeves was fond of
telling story that related to an early
engagement in Glasgow which was ar
ranged through a metropolitan agency.
one Of the items on the programme
was Hail, Smiling Morn and of
course Mr. Reeves was put down for
the solo portion. The chorus consists
of an echo and the London agent as
sured the soloist that a satisfactory
choir had been engaged.
The whole matter was settled hur-
riedly Mr.. Reeves was at first disin-
elined to accept. as other engagements
prevented him from reaching Glasgow
in time for Il rehearsal with the choir
Don't worry about that. my dear
sir" said the agent. You viii find
the choir perfect
The concert was a success, and in
due course Hail. Smiling Morn" was
called for When the soloist came TO
the lines requiring an echo, he deliv-
cred them in his best manner-"At
whose bright presence darkness flies
away" Imagine his horror when the
echo repeated his words in the broad
est Scotch:
"Flees ava, fees awa'"'
Yet Sims Reeves averred that not a
person in the audience smiled or APP
peared to see anything incongruous.
When he talked over the matter with
bailie after the concert, the good man
assured him:
That's nothing at all. You were a
little wrong in your pronunciation, and
the echo was correct. You see, it was
a Scottish echo. Youths Companion.

The Land of Chestnuts.

The home of chestnuts is in
France, where an enthusiastic ad-
mirer declares that they are ''as
common as beans in Boston" On
such an extensive scale are they cul-
tivated that one factory in Lyons
handles over 25,O00,000 pounds every
year. The "marrons" are of couRse
the great luxury, but among the
poorer classes the smaller chestnuts,
or "schataignes," are eaten. The
United States consul at Lyons, John
C. Covert, visited a large chestnut
factory which employs $50 women
and girls. The chestnuts are peeled
and boiled and placed for three days
in a vanilla sirup; then they are
drained, coated thinly with vanilla
and prepared for shipment. Mr..
Covert is anxious that America
should go extensively into chestnut
growing, and believes that as sugar
is so per cent. cheaper here than ir
France, the candied product would
soon undersell the French article.
However, as marron trees do not
yield profitably till they are ten
years old, Mr.. Covert admits tha
there is no immediate prospect of a
reduction in the price of the candied
nuts.-Youth's Companion.

upon the sealed packet attracted his

the dead soldiers description of the

guessed that the packet contained the
papers given to him to deliver. Holbin
would hardly have troubled him mself to

from a soldier to his mother, and would
have promptly destroyed the whole
collection. but that the remaining en-

LiFE'S LES SON.

tits but folly and madness to sit down in
And sigh for the past when the future is
ours;
Though the way may be dreary, and the
heart faint and weary,
! We may list for the bird songs and look
for the flowers.
rt is true there are hours when bird songs
and flowers
Would mock with their beauty and
brightness our gloom:
When to ease the hearts aching, we would
welcome its breaking.
To gain thus the stiffness and rest of the
tomb
When springing all round us are sharp
thorns that wound us.
And many the pitfalls that lie in our way:
When over life's meadows hang fierce,
threatening shadows.
And Hopes beacon sheds not one glim-
merng ray.
But the dark clouds that over life's fair
meadows hover
May be freighted with blessings and melt
soon to rain;
While the suns brighter shining will
shame our repinng,
And the landscape stands out in its glad
ness again.
Tho life hath its losses, its cares and its
crosses,
The loss and the cross may still be for
our best,
And each homely duty hold some hidden
beauty,
Zen by labor we learn the sweet mean
ing of rest.
Thus by pain may we measure the worth Of
each pleasure
We value our wealth by the wants we
have known;
And joy after sorrow, by contrast we bor-
row
A completeness and sweetness fuller cen
than it's own.
