The Editor with his iollv camp

The Editor with his jolly camp
crowd broke camp on Saturday
last. For four mornings out of
the eight, there was a skim of ice
on the river, and the other four
days and nights it never ceased to
rain. This thing of cooking three
meals a day carrying umbrellas, is
alright for a day or two, but when
it lasts weeks it renders one like
the fellow that fell off the house
rather discouraged. But we gain
ed several pounds, feel fat and
sassy, and ready for any political
fight that bobs up.

The Soldiers Prayer.

Near the camp fires pickering light,
In my blanket bed I lie,
Gazing through the shades OF nlgnt
At the twinkling stars. on high.
Ger me spirits in the air
Silent vigils seem to keep
AS I breathe my childhood's prayer,
Now 1 lay me down to sleep.
Softly sings the whip-poor-will
In the boughs of yonder tree;
Laughingly the dancing rill
Swells the midnight melody.
Foemen may be lurking near
In the canon dark and deep;
Low I breathe in Jesus ear,
II pray thee, Lord. my soul to keep.
Mid those stars one face sec
One the Saviour took away
Mother, who in infancy
Taught my baby lips to pray.
Her sweet spirit hovers near,
In the lonely mountain brake;
Take me to her. Saviour dear,
'If I should die before l wake.
Fainter CLOVIS the Pickering light
AS each ember slowly dies;
Plaintively the birds Of night
Fin the air with saddening cries.
Over me they seem to cry, ;,
.'You may no more awake
Low I plead: IF I should die.
It pray thee. Lord. my soul to take.

try to get a cravat so warm that it will
feel like a mustard plaster on his chest.
That might be good for his bronchial
tubes. but it might endanger his chances
for ultimate redemption. 1t would per-
haps stave off throat trouble. which is
good deal worse It would keep him
warm under the collar. but you have al
ready observed in your married life that
that is not always desirable. If you would
keep out of divorce court keep out of the
haberdashers
Let him pick out his own cravats and
then ne alone will be to blame for them
He may not know much about the mar
mony of colors. but he is not likely, never
theiess. to pick out a cravat that vii!
hurt the eyes of the spectators like a
lime-light at a championship glove con-
test. He may not know what he wants.
but he knows what he don't want, and
ten to one if you have seen something
at the cravat counter that you think
is perfectly lovely that is it.
CAUSES MUCH TROUBLE
I have not said much about sweethearts
who buy cravats for their lovers. The
reason is that if they do it once they
never do it again-they are sweetheart
and lover no longer. Many a promising
love affair has been broken up by red
cravat just as the promising promise
was about to be made. Girls. if you feel
like buying a cravat for him restrain
yourself until after you are married. then
if he does not treat you as he should, do
it.
I would not have it understood that l
have an antipathy to all cravats made up
of goods of the primary colors. There are
reds and greens and blues IN cravats that
are beautiful. But a woman almost al
ways misses them.
I have not written this dissertation on
cravats without a purpose or without in
tending to offer some scheme for relief to
husbands who have wives who try to buy
their cravats for them. I have plan that
I think it will afford them relief. It is
simply the insertion in the leading haber-
dashers' journals OF the following fash
ion note.
Hemp cravats will be very much worn
this season by clerks who sell lavender
cravats to wives with auburn haired
husbands
