of the largest dry goods houses in
Philadelphia had noticed for some
months the melancholy of his head
clerk, young man whom he held in
high regard
"'The clerks pallor and increasing

We'll, maybe he wasn't when he
married. You have a good position

Her parents would not listen to me

Then said the other. 'elope with

asked excitedly.

Curious Question of Law.

A curious question of law has come
before the Maine courts. A bishop
and the rector of parish are being
sued for libel by man excommuni-
Gated by them. The supreme court
has just held that there is cause for
action. The dismissal from church is
undoubtedly pre1udicial to a mans
character, but it is nice question TO
what extent the courts should inter
fere with church discipline.

while after l had gone, carrying a
dozen or two of the 10th with them.
and that Gen. Gordon had followed
later with the 10th y. Y. Only 20 or
80 men Of the 10th Me. were left
on the ground: the cOlOrs and the 9TH
ers had gone out and taken position
somewhere back Of the Croasdale
Knoll.
We buried some of the dead Of our
regiment in the north edge Of "the
bushes" near to the SmoketOwn road
fence. During the remainder Of the
day very large number Of the officers
and men of the regiment were detailed
by various medical officers to bring off
wounded men from the cOrnfield" and
woods, for the ambulance department
was not organized at that time as it was
later in the war, and was not equal to
the task.
We also buried the Confederate dead
that fell in our immediate front. but
somehow the cracker-box headboards
were marked GO GEOO, and this lit
tie error made trouble enough for me
as historian of the regimental associ-
alton.
At night we bivouacked north Of
Sam Poffenbergers woods, and on the

beyond where we fought. halted,

Decoration Day.

There's the chirp of birds in the pine
tree tops
The street is lined with those who'ye
come
To watch the procession pass.
There's the grand old Flag that floats
ahead.
There's children with fiow'rs OF May,
There's daddy hobbling with the
boys
It's Decoration Day.
No wonder that garden and field and
wood
Have given their fairest blooms:
No wonder the petals and leaves leap
high
Beside the soldiers tombs.
No wonder the village band plays sweet
As they wind along their way;
No wonder the skies are blue above
lis Decoration Day.
But there's sort of look in daddy's face
And the boys" that go halting by,
As though their thoughts were drifting
To another earth and sky
For their minds are back to the youth
full time
When they marched as boys away,
And they're bordering bout where
they'll all be
Next Decoration Day.
