Memorial Day.

In memory of our soldier dead
The strong, the brave and true
. skies of May, shine tenderly,
And wear your robes of blue!
y breeZes, softly, gently watt
The fragrance of our flowers
Upon the air while thus we deck
These honorcd graves of ours,
How bravely marched our heroes forth
To battle and to strife,
How nobly. for our country's sake
Was offered each brave life!
True men. true hearts, true comrades all
Just side by side went they,
beneath their country'S flag, to win
Or perish i'll the fray.
Their battle cry Freedom" and
Their motto-"For the right!'
And God looked down upon them there,
"All loyal in His sight
And saw that they were weary, and
Had done their duty well.
And we know He crowned with laurel5
His soldior-boys who fell
Upon the field of duty; and
He called them home to rest
In sweetest peace eternal. on
His tender, loving brt asst.
And here we lay our offerings sweet
Above each quiet head,
And thus We honor Loyalty.
Our loyal soldier dead.

Memorial Day.

Again the 30th of May, the holy holi-
day of the spring season when the
graves of those who offered their lives
for our flag are strewn with beautiful
ing tribute to their memory. We have
only a few great holidays, it is better
90. and none of them is more sacred
to the heart of our people, more char
acteristically American in origin and
observance, than Memorial day. For
a third of a century its simple and i'm
pressive ceremonies have been carried
out in every city and village of our
land, and there is no appreciate
diminution in the popular interest in
the day which is dedicated to the COM
memoration of the patriotic devotion of
the dead soldiery, and of their living
companions in arms.
Each spring finds the ranks of the
surviving veterans thinner, and to meet
the limitations of their failing strength
the route of march is now generally
shortened. But as there have never
failed to be others to do their work in
war or peace when they have fallen
from the ranks so there will never be
lack Of loving hands to decorate the
graves with flowers, to put the little
flags in place and perform every ser
vice which shows a nations gratitude
the living, we honor them all, today;
We who enjoy the blessings of life in
this great and reunited Union, which is
an eternal monument to their toll and
their sufferings and their sacrifice.
And in the spirit of loyalty and fra
ternity, in the Cancellation and the re
nation, once almost severed by civil
strife. the blue and the gray can today
clasp hands as brothers, and I'M
der the folds of the flag which flies
above them without a stain or a rent,
decorate with tender care the graves
of all who fell in that great conflict.
Particularly fitting it is that the chill
dren of the land should take part in the
exercises of this day. The early lesson
of patriotism thus impressed upon
them can never be lost. They are the
citizens and the soldiers of the future
and While the spirit Of Memorial day
lives in their breasts our country is
safe. There is no day better than this
to teach the history of our country
and it's great meaning that genuine
patriotism embodics love of all that is
good and true and eternal in the laws
institutions and privileges of our
homeland.

Reflections of Bachelor,

"A saint is never as white as he is
painted.
Big feet seem ever so much worse
when they are cold.
Either a woman loves you and says
she doesn't or she doesn't and says she
does.
Maybe it is as bad to have money
and no place to spend it as to have
the place but no money.
What man doesn't learn about wo-
mems clothes before he is married isn't
worth while learning afterward.
Tho way for a man to make woman
obey him is to find out what she wants
to do and then make her do it.

mention science when there is nothing

But through the gloom of fraternal es

God sent his light and we welcome the

The tongue is a pump used to Undue

When a man contracts expensiv

The Psalm Of the Old Soldier.

The blue is fading into gray,
Just as when sunset comes
With bugle calls that die away
And softly throbbing drums;
The shadows reach across the sky
And hush the cares of day;
The buSle call and drum beat die
The blue fades into gray.
The gray is blending into blue
"A sunrise glad and fair,
When, in the richness OF the dew,
The roses riot there,
The bitterness of yesterday
Is lost to me and you;
The blue is fading into gray
The gray blends into blue
They're sleeping now the long long sleep
The boys who wore the blue;
Above the gray the grasses creep
And both were good and true;
And in the twilight of our life
The ending of the way,
There comes forgetfulneSs of strife
The blue fades into gray.
Above each mound the lily CLOVIS,
And humble daisies nod;
The ruby glory of the rose
Sheds luSter on the sod;
The tears-thc tears-they are the dew
That greetS the coming day.
The gray is blending into blue
The blue fades into gray.

The Blue and the Gray.

BY the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fed,
Where the blades of the grave-grass quiv-
er,
Asleep are the ranks of the dead;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the one, the blue,
Under the other the gray.
Those in the robings of glory
Those in the gloom of defeat
All with the battle-bood CORY,
In the dusk of eternity meet;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the laurel, the blue,
Under the willow, the gray.
From the silence Of sorrowful hours
The deSolate mourncrS go,
Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the foe;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the roses. the blue,
Under the lilies, the gray.
So with an equal splendor,
The morning sun-rays fall,
With a touch impartially tender.
On the blossoms blooming for all;
Undtr the sod and the dew
Waiting the judgment day;
Broidered with gold, the blue,
Mellowed with gold. the gray.
So. when the summer calleth,
on forest and field of grain,
With an equal murmur faileth
The cooling drip of the rain;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Wet with the Rain, the blue
Wet with the rain, the gray.
Sadly, but not with upbraiding,
The generous deed was done,
In the storm of the years that are fading
No drawer battle was won:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the blossoms, the blue,
Under the garlands, the gray.
No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger forever,
When they laurel the graves of our
dead
Under the sod and the dew
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the blue,
Tears and love for the gray.

1t is not only in New England that
Governor jefferson Davis of Arkansas
il held in very low esteem. The action
Of the Baptist church of Little Rock
in expelling him from membership for
unbccoming conduct shows that in his
home community they are also pretty
well onto his curves. The dispatches
do not disclose the nature of his unbe-
coming conduct but it is not hard to
imagine that he is capable of almost
anything in that line.

Something unique in the way of
Memorial services was held at Laurel
Hill cemetery, Saco, last Sunday.
About 80 members of the Y. +. S. c. e.
Society connected with the Main Street
Baptist church, Saco. assembled under
the lead of the president, in front of
the cemetery chapel. A brief service of
prayer and song was held, after which
the young people visited the graves of
three deceased members, sung an En-
deavor song at each grave and left a
beautiful token of cut flowers. God be
With You Till We Meet Again" and
the Mizpah benediction completed the
service.

Memorial Day.

She saw the bayonets flashing in the sun
Inc 1ags that proudly waved; she heard
the Dugles calling;
She saw the tattered banners falling
About the broken STATS, as one by one
The remnant of the mighty army passed;
And at the last
Flowers for the graves of those whose
fight was done
She heard the tramping of ten thousand
feet
AS the long line swept round the crowded
square;
she heard the incessant hum
mat lilled the warm and biossom-Scented
The shriling fife, the roll and throb OF
drum,
Inc happy laugh, the cheer. Oh, glori-
Gus and meet
To honor thus the dead
Who chose the better part
And for their country bled,
The dead! Great God, she stood there
i'll the street.
Living, yet dead in soul, and mind, and
heart
While far away
Ills grave was decked with flowers by
strangers hands today

Pulaski and Steuben.

Pulaski and Steuben.
In one of his letters. not long ago, the
Washington correspondent of the
Journal said it was the hope of many
i'm the National Capital that statues to
Pulaski and Steuben might soon be
erected with those of Lafayette and
Rochambeau in Lafayette square and
thus make the beautiful spot a per-
petuaI memorial of the four great
foreigners who drew swords in the
cause of American independence and
helped so materially in the successful
issue of that great conflict That wish
seems likely to be realized for later
letter indicates that favorable report
is promised from the congressional
committee on the two bills Carrying $780,
900 each for these two statues. Thus
the first step is taken toward statues of
Pulaski and Steuben to join those of
Lafayette and Rochambeau, a sub
stantial if tardy, recognition of our

crossed the seas to help us.
The story of Lafayette is known to
every American school boy, and that of
Rochambeau is now familiar as a re
suit of the recent dedication Of the
statue and the visit of the distinguished
Frcnchmen. To most of the present
generation, Pulaski and Stcuben are
little more than names vaguely con-
rected with the great achievements of
revolutionary times. The erection of
the proposed statues will renew popular
interest in them and bring our people
to a new realization of the debt we
owe their memories. Pulaski was a
Polish count, outlawed for struggling
against the monarch who oppressed his
own country and interested in
America through meeting with
Franklin in Paris i'll 1775. He came
to this country in III, then young
man of %, fought as a volunteer and
was made a brigadier general by Con-
gress. At the siege of Savannah he
was in command of both the American
and the French cavalry. He was
wounded in the assault and died on
board the United States brig Wasp on
Oct. II, 1873. His body was buried at
sea. He was only one of these four
foreigners to give his life for American
independence. Baron Won Steuben was
Prusisan general, and was born in
Magdeburg in 1870. He served through
out the Seven Years War, and be-
came an aid to Frederick the Great
In 17I1 he decided to give up his honors
and cast his fortunes with the Ameri-
can colonies. He received a commits
sion as major general, and was ap-
pointed inspector general of the
American army. He reorganized and
disciplined the trops in such a manner
as to call forth the thanks of Congress-
He saw active service in the South,
checked Arnold's invasion of Con-
necticut and was present at Corn
walliss surrender at Yorktown. In re-
turn for his services Congress granted
him land in New York, Virginia and
Pennsylvania and tardily a pension of
$500. He was the only one of the
four to remain in America after the
war and died in Steubenville, n. Y,
on Nov. %, 17)4. 1t is just that the
meory of Pulaski and Steuben, the
Pole and the Prussian, should be
honored by America as is the memory
of those two brave and noble French
men. Lafayette and Rochambeau.

well. Luckily the water was not deep
