the pupils Of the schools has become

growing influences now substantially

Of placing the statue of patriotism on

QUOTATION.

For Nature beats in perfect tune,
And rounds with rhyme her every
rune,
Whether she work in land or sea,
Or hide underground her alchemy.
Thou canst not wave thy staff in air,
Or dip thy paddle in the lake,
But it carves the bow Of beauty
there,
And the ripples in rhymes the oar
forsake.

Dodging the Burdens.

The report of Mr.. King, as senior
vice commander in chief contained the
following: "The time is passing when
we can hope for a material increase
in our membership, yet there are
many, very many survivors OF the
union armies of the civil war who still
hold aloof and fail to avail themselves
OF their eligibility TO join the Grand
Army of the Republic. In view of the
great benefit the influence Of our order
has been to them in the way Of infu-
encing legislation along the line of
pension enactments, it is surprisingly
astonishing why there are so many
who are willing to- reap the benefits OF
our organized efforts, and yet remain
outside of our ranks, leaving to a rel
atively few the burdens OF fighting for
the rights of the old soldiers"

vice commander in chief, referred to
