GIN A VELDT CEMETERY
Peace to the quiet dead!
Trooper and burgher here,
True to the men who led,
True to their lights fell near;
Question not right nor wrong,
Question not gain nor loss,
Brothers in death they lie
Under the starry cross.
Brave men and true alike
Matters not creed nor race
All are of one great kin
Here in the resting place.
Nation 'gainst nation strives
Endlessly meath the sun;
When the great silence" falls
All are in rest as one
Tears for the wrongs that keep
Far from us peace and good!
Tears that in life there is
No happy brotherhood!
Peace to the quiet dead!
Lies errors cleared away
Brothers in hope they wait
The breaking of the day.

THE RIGHT WAY TO WALK.
Preservation Of Good Figure De-
pends to Some Extent on Th1s
"A New Theory.

A friend who leads a very active
life has a theory that the preser.
vation of good figure depends to
some extent on the manner of
walking, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer. Many people, she says,
as they advance in years allow
themselves to walk heavily and
without elasticity, 20 that the
whole weight rests on the lower
part of the limbs at every step.
the only effect of exercise being
weariness of the legs and feet. In
stead of this his body should be
held erect and poised so as to have
a perfect balance; in this way the
muscles are braced and strength
ened throughout, the lungs must
Of necessity be we'll expanded, and
it seems quite reasonable to sup
pose that the tendency to increase
OF weight may be checked. At all
events a%lighter step and a brisker
and more enjoyable manner OF
walking can be kept up, and that
in itself is a very great gain.

Quite Romantic.


A romantic incident connected
with the recent marriage of two
popular young people of Bridgton,
Me-, has just come to light. 1t
seems that in the very beginning
of their courtship some six or
seven years ago, during one of the
young mans visits to the home
OF the young lady who finally be-
came his wife, he chanced to take
from his pocket $40 gold piece
which the young lady got into her
possession. He made a brief at
tempt to regain it. but gave it up
and ina joking way said: "Keep
it to pay the minister with.'
The years went by and the gold
en- eagle was entirely forgotten by
the young man. On the day when
the marriage ceremony was to
take place, which was the opening
of the present season, the bride-to-
be produced the identical gold
piece and the minister received it
for his fee.-Kennebec Journal.

SHARK As A MESSENGER.
Carried Newspaper to Sydney 0utdis-
tancing Steamer Conveying I'm
portant Item Of News.

The story of the discovery of
human bones and bangles in the
interior Of the crocodile captured
at Fort johnson, Rhodesia,
brings to mind another story
which may appositely be recalled
at the present juncture. Every
body has heard of "Mrs. Macquar-
rie's chair" az they call the east
ern point of Farm Cove, iA Sydney
harbor. There, says the St.
James Gazette, it was that poor
emigrant, in pre-cable days, killed
and towed ashore shark, cut him
up, and found a London newspa-
per in the Intervals. In the paper
was the announcement of the war
between France and Germany,
The shark had outdistanced the
steamer by which the mail was
coming, and here the discoverer'
had the fact to himself. He gave
his information to a wealthy wool
dealer, who bought all the sea-
sons clip at Cd. per- pound, AMI
sold at 3s. after the news of the
war had arrived by the ordinary
channel. He cleared, it is said,
four millions sterling by the deal.
The man who killed the shark and
extracted the news of price-well,
he received a battered silk hat
and five shilling piece and unre.
strained liberty as to the disposal
of the shark. =: =:
