The band played last week and the youth and beauty of the city In gay attire represented the expenditure of wealth and plenty-'twas a beautiful scene and we are glad of the occa- sion. But as the revelry of the six days came to an end we heard voice from the other side of life-a voice that Is often raised to alleviate the suffer- ing of humanity. We were told the sad dest. sweetest story we ever heard, and we tell it now that we may view the other side and feel for those who real ly know the dark and dreary day.

There is always a hope in her breast as long as she can press the loved one to her heart and hear 1t breathe and know that it is a part
 
 want compared to the fearful giving up our loved ones?

 little neighborhood wagon stood at her gate with chairs for six and the little box rested in neighb or S lap, and they drove to the nearby cem- etery, where the little boys of the dis trict had dug a tiny grave and with the beautiful service for the dead read by a missionaryAand the solemn hymns of few voices there was transmitted to the grave the little soldier who had suffered and the battle was won. The tears are for only those who are life.
 The little mound was made by tender hands of those who knew and felt the ? anguish of the broken heart of moth er-and the blessing rested on the earth. Poor mother-she could not bear 50 leave the little mound without some
