THE PAY OF THE GUARDSMEN.

The soldier enlists in a service which
may mea death in conflicts in which
he may be ordered to take part, but
with this there must be a consideration
Of the means of living, for there must
be pay for the soldiers taken into con-
sideration. /
Yet if it were pay alone which comes
from being a member of the Ma
tional Guard the enlistments would be
%trifiing indeed for, the private of the
guard receives but fifty cents a day a
sum of money that is but a bagateIe
if there are people at home depend
ent upon him. This matter has ap-
pealed strongly to the business men
Of the country and in large numbers
business organizations have %announc-
ed that they would continue in whole
or in part the pay of members of the
National Guard in their employ, and
would keep their positions open till
their return from service.
This is patriotism which scars way
above business, and is patriotism Of
the right kind. 1t shows that Ameri-
car business men in a large degree are
ready to serve with their pocketbooks.
with these giving assurance of AFFAIRS
being left in good shape at home to
the men who answer the call to the
colors. In this connection it is inter-
esting to note the amount of pay re-
ceived by the officers and men who
comprise the National Guard. the
amounts being:
Brigadier general, 1857 a day.

TO THE MEMORY
OF ELI III. MERRILL.
(By IDA EIizabeth Maxwell.l

(C 49,
A SCHOLAR interesting; a teacher
through and through. A soldier to
arms, under the Red. White and Blue,
a warrior brave; a father kind and
husband true. ;
Around the courts of justice, and
among its men Of law. he wasseyer
teaching, he was ever mingling. For
like the Master so great and good. he
was always seeking to aid. to help, to
comfort, all whom he could. He
taught by example and not by precept.
Those who in his manly presence:
those who along his daily walks. were
so fortunate; were want to amble.
His faith in Christ, too beautiful to
pen, was ver his guide; his chart and
compass, when along life's weary and
toilsome way, the angry breakers
sought. his love to dismay.
His words were ever gently spoken
Ger unto the hour his magic voice had
husky grown and broken. In his meek
Dlue eyes beamed a radiance, the sun
OF MS soul. May it dwell with the
young and old forever.
~ mOAuOIJ IIf0S, OH ana on, yet
Iarther on, yes farther on; of the
placid features so serene and calm; of
the gracious banner; of the genial
smile. In them, there could exist no
harm. These valuable requisites. his
armor; his shield, were his only weap-
n in life's warfare and upon life's
Rattle field; and to these theenemy
the foe could but surrender.
But, alas! alas! Father Time, in his
needless flight, came with cycle and
scythe at the dark hours of night, and.
mid scenes of sorrow and weeping,
l1fe's tide gently ebbed away.
Victory he had gained; freedom
vexationS, and so liberty, the
fathers earthly house of his childhood:
'the little church in the wildwood his
~pulseless body was gently borne.
there to stay. there to moulder in the
clay. Friends, and grieved loved ones
weep no more. He has only lain aside |
mortal coil that God in his infinite |
wisdom created, from the dust. of
mother earth's coil.
He floats with the angels. on pinioned
wings of purity; he descends the Col
den stair; and there is no pain. no
night and no signing there.

S512, 0,769.58, and exceeding all pre-
viods estimates by many millions. Or

Guiding the emergency revenue from
this amount, these receipts were APP
proXimately- 100000 900, or $32, OOO,-
600 greater than had been estimated.
The cost of collecting this great
