There's a little rillAt the foot of the hill.And K 111II-dam.And a little old mill.Shabby and still;

And the little old miller wbo once was there,Wltli snow-white clothes and powdered hair,

Who measured Hie grain,Aud took the toll,Me is now as silent and stillAs the moveless wheels In the little

mill,And he sleeps in the churchyard cold and

lorn.Near the little mill where lie ground the corn.

Long years ago,In the summer's glow.And ttieautum's blow,And the winter's snow,It was full of life;

The water rushed through the narrow hay.And the tick-tack song was heard all duy.

Grinding the grainThat dally cameDown the crooked laneTo the old mill's door.

Hoys and men—men and b o y s -Chatted amid the old mill's noise.Related their sorrows spoke of their joys.Joked and lxiiKhed for many an hourWhile tlie miller turned the grists to flour.

Where are theyTo be found to-day ?They are t-ilentand stillLike the miller and mill.

All their grists of life have been ground:All of them sleep beneath the mound;

For. like the millAt the foot of the hill,They had tlielr day and passed nway.

Some were weak and others were strong;Some died young, while others lived l o n g -One by one they dropped by the way.And not a survivor lives to-day.

But the rill runs alongWith the fame old songAnd the same fresh glowOf years ago.

Warm mm cold. It never grows old;And 1U banks still bloom with crimson HIMI

gold,.lust II- It did when (lie miller wus thereWith snowy garb and powdered hair;

And the life stream HowsThrough Joys and woes;And others now rideOn the life-long tide;

lust ns those did that went to that mill,Just as those who follow us will.Till the wheels of lime shall stand as stillAs the rattling wheels of that old mill.

MOUSER'S SAWBUCK.A Man Who Wautt'd Evorcl.se and

Got It.

[ N a t i o n a l T r i b u n e ]

Mr . M o u s e r and Ins m e r r y littlu wi leoccupied a charming cottajrA in the su-luirbsor'a Inryecity in the •'Katlierlund."His business connections were of such an a t t i i r iii . ii in »>,i> u -u m\ ;n l e i s u r e n i -t e r l o i n o ' c l o c k i n t h e n f t i ' r n o o u .

Mr. Mouser prided himself on being aman ot originality ami brains. Mr.Moiiser :ilso liked ;i little joke—:tt otherpeople's expense.

It was autumn. Mr. Motwer lm<l ju«f1*M In a Koot' supply of winter fuelWood was ehielly used for this purposein the laud ol Mr. Monger'* birth.

Silting by the window of his ooev liv-Injr-mom, enjoying a royal smoke frotrlthe long-stemmed porcelain pipe, Mr.Mouser watched the wood-sawyer plyinghis trade, made easy by long Imbit ofhandling wood and saw. As Mr. Mongergazed and pondered, an Idea crept Intohis bead. It was grasped—HS ideas quiok-ly became captive there.

"Lizbetb," miid he to his wife, " it issingular I never thought of it before—Igenerally think of fuch things—hut itstrikes me that 1 could saw Mint woodmyself."

"Graeinii-! what nil i'lea!"" A blight one, isn't il? A bijf saving,

too! Ju.«tsee with what ease it is done—the man cuti through the sticks as it' hewere slicing biewl and butler; besides,I require more exercise; uiy health is notwhat it has been."

" My dear, do you feel ill ?"" N-uo, but a man needs to exert him

•M It if be does not wish to run down inmuscular power. My babiU are too eo'.i-lining; H sense ot this fact has been grow-ing on me lately. Hut I have solved theni)>tery while watching, the man play OHhi- s»w-]ack."

A mere twinkle of the eyes and a laud-able endeavor to maintain a serious ex-prcsuiou would have convinced the be-holder that Li/Heth also had Ideas, hutlike a properly respectful wife she keptthem to herself until called for.

" Do you think, Lizbetl-, that a littlegentle muscular activily is what I need Instimulate appetite?"

" You might, paint the house, or dosome less tiresome work than wood-saw-ing," replied Mrs. Mouser.

" Oh, you underrate my capacities, mydear. And sawing wood is not muchhard work. Come and see how simpleIt it done, yet how every muscle isbrought into play. I am enchanted withmy idea, and shall carry itout. The in mcan finish this jol>, but it shall be the lastI tverpayfor . What think you of it,wife?"

" Well,'' laughed the lidy, demurely," I think we shall be obliged to live oncold victuals and wear blankets to keepfrom freezing. But seriously, dear, youbad better consider what hard labor youare planing for yourself. If I were youI would experiment on a few cord-sticks

" That's just like a woman !" retortedMonger, disdainfully; "she never doesanything heroically; she is totally in-competent in matters of physical calcula-tion. Now, I can see just as well as if Ihad stood over that mun's saw jack for anhour, the amount of force required todrive a saw through a stick of cord-wood.And I declare to you here anil now thatI am going to do the next load myself. Itis play, nothing but piny !"

Lizheth laughed so tantnlizlngjy thatMr. Mouser turned upon her in u Hurryof Indignation,saying:

" You Peein to hive your duuhis, m i-i l a in ' ."

"See ing is believing, sir!"" Well, you shall pee. Von imirh to

know by this time that I am a man witha mind of my own, and when I say I amgoing to do a tinny: 1 do it. Please bearthis In your shallow mentality, Mrs.Mouser, that I, your husband, am deter-mined to never "more pay %\ fur wood-sawyer's hire."

"I am afraid I shall have to do a littleof the wood-saw ing myself, then," gravelymurmured Mrs. Mouser.

Mr. Mouser meant business. He atonce ordered the very best kind of a newsaw-jack made. He purchased a splendidsaw with sharp teeth and li^ht frame.He pranced about, happy as a sHiuulbnv,with dabs of yellow and jrreeu paintspattered all over his person, until finallythe saw frame suited him in its brtgtflyellow coat. The saw-jack lie paiqted alovely light green.

Daily lie pmmr-rlatlrd impatientlyaround the shed where tbe wood Wa-siKtcd, and grumbled bec-uiSe the fuellasted so unusually long. Al Intel va!s heaililed another coift of irreen paint lo thehighly-decorated siw-jaok f,"«awbuck" itis called sometimes), and bade all his ncquatntances and friends come and insfjeclhis patent calisthenic toys, until everyone fur miles around became faiulUarwith Mr. llouser's ereen saw-jack.

At last the longed-for day arrived; Abin load of line hieory had been piled upinclose proximity to the tools of decima-tion.

Mr. Mousor was all excitement. Repassed by his amused wife with impor-tant disiliiin and scarcely gave himselftime tn devour his dinner, he w«8 80eager to be at his worn.

" N o t h i n g more, thanks," he replied, ashis wife wished to replenish his cup.Kisiujr, he hastened to handle his petswith an ardor that caused Li/.belh tosmile knowingly as she watched him pickout the very smalletr .... < •• J u». *H UML1CKS.

This was a trrtal tni-take on Mr. Mou-ser's part. l ie should have tackled tliedifficult ones lirsl, on the simple hutfruiile theory that ruatom would havesweetened his toil with the balm olgreater ease.

My! how th<'saw rented and the ab-breviated sticks tumbled to the ground!Still Lizbeth, who was peeping withlaughter-brimming eyes, noticed that atthe third cordstirk work seemed toslacken just a little, but seven were fin-ished, and Mr. Moustr csiuie in, declaringhe felt jrlorious.

The second day Mr Mouser remainedat table a trill» lonjrer. Four cordstie.ksin broken length* licked the dust, how-ever.

Third day—Mr. Moussr took time to"lance over the daily news after dinner.Record: Three cordsticks.

" Lizheth," said he, " I think I haveheen cheated In the saw-jack. It is notput together on as practical a plan as 1wits lead to believe. It writjf;les."

Fourth day —Mr. Mouser toyed overhis dinner extensively. He smoked hispipe and read the paper. He glancedover bis monthly magazine until dark,and then started up exclaiming:

" Mercy! how short the days are VMrs. Mouser enjoyed the situation in-

tensely, but never said a word.Fifth day—-Mr. Mouser rose with n

sense of injustice resting upon him. Allday he was haunted by the outrageousfate that made him owner of a sawing-jack.

" My dear, we require more wood thanusual to-day und to-moirow, washing andIroning days, you know," saiil Mrs.Mourer as soon as be £ot home.

•'I never SAW anything like the wayyou women manage tn consume fuel!"and Mr. Mouter grabbed his hut andstarted angrily toward the woodpile. Afew sticks tell before tbe savage manipu-lation of the saw, while Mr. Monger'ssnarling kept excellent time to the wildmotions of that sawyer.

With a crash he sent the saw flying Overtlie woodpile. This was too much. Hiswife was a brute to expect Him to woiklike a i-lave during the tew moments hecould call his own free from businessdrudgery. Hut it he gave up lie wouldnever hear the last of it. (J, if he Couldonly (jet rid of the saw-jack.

A long time he pondered; at last asmile of joy illuminated his face. Thatnight, after bis wife retired, Mr. Mouterslipped out and carried that hated greenobject to the front gale. Presto, in themorning the corpus delicti would begone.The highway was full of robber*, wbowould steal anything and everything.

He would make a big fuss about lh«loss, but tuke good care not buy a secondsaw-jack.

He slept the sleep of the just untilabout four o'clock In the Battling. Itwas still dark, but his anxiety to asrurehimself of the loss of his trouble causedhim to sneak out and i ecotinoiler. Thesaw-jack was ttill there. Mr. Mouserwhispered—not a prayer. "Oh, well,there U time enongli still between thishour and daylight for a theft to be com-mitted." It was the voice of Mrs. Mou-Her that awakened him In time for break-fast, lie glanced out of the window thetirst thing. Oh, how brightly the sunshone, and that saw-jack gleamed up athim in all its verdant beauty. No robber'sband had carried it r.way. A feat Milsigh escaped the M miser bosom.

" You must saw some wood for me be-fore you go, dear," said hi.- wile.

" What, innro wood?'1

"Yes, dear; recollect yo. ly Sawedone stick last evening," rejoined Mr*.Mouser, meekly, but a wicked glea Imischief played about her eyes andmouth. , , ,

Mr Motwer Ignored her reply, andhastened to work with his pretty toolswith a vigor horn of awful fury, but waydown in his soul a voice groaned, thatsaw-jack must go!

(Concluded on Fourth 1'iigt )

[Read by J. E. Beal at the meeting of theMichigan Press Assoclatlvu, Muy 81, 1388.]

It had been the intention of your pres-sent victim upon the essay altar to tellyou the history of "The First Devil" in aprlntery, and how that diabolical appel-lation came to be applied.

Hut your committee evidently thoughtyou already knew to a great sufficiencyenough about the devil, and that the col-lege graduates needed handling just asbadly as his antitype. Therefore thechangs.

A matter of general belief Is that whena recent issue of the college graduate di-rects his attention to journalism on adaily, and is given the Police Courier ordog light department, he will bring in ashis lirst item something as follows:

" A t four minutes after 3 this after-noon, while the intelligent reporter ofThe Gazette was circumambulating thepurlieus of our rapidly augmenting city,his consciousness was aroused by a san-guinary encounter between two caninesof the genus bullpuppilnis. The debatehad not proceeded tar when the incisorsof the one which at one time had beenwhile in color, became inserted by hisvolition into the starboard auricular ap-pendage of the other and the smaller ofthe two combatants. Whereupon theproprietor of the latter beast, in mostproii ne language and, we will add, withmost indecent epithets, invited the otherbrute to desist, accompanying the requestwith violent projections of his pedal ex-tremities BrUainst the lateral portion ofthat dog's anatomy. The man, whosename Is John Smith, who lives at steenbundled and one Steenth sreet, should bearrested by the Society for Prevention ofCruelty lo Animals and heavily assessedfor a line for disturbing the peacefuldenizens of I'olacktown."

So they do at the start. Their care forthe exact words makes them write slowlyand carefully, but they propose to reformthe world so suddenly that powerfulirrongs which exist in every communityare attacked with a vehemence to makehairs of the responsible owner's beadstand on end as a libel suit stares them inthe face.

The college graduate i» *•" •—l.l«ui is.. .i.:..ft ii not Enthusiastic. The activi-ties ot .ill classes of citizens he enters intowith zest. Fresh from books and fresherin experience, he believes what peopletell him, without that cold cynicismwhich possesses him in ten years' wrest-1 i11.• In, a deceitful piano' , " - • • • •-one si.If o . . . ..-5lay lins an airingwith righteous indignation in one Issue,lo be followed possibly by the embarass-Ing admission—next paper—that therew ere I w (i sides.

Thus in this and many other particu-lars is be at lirst heavily handicapped inthe rare agatnftl the practlOal printer nsan editor. For the latter having grownup it: a printing office has beome im-bued witli its spirit. Many a time andOft has he heard the reporters cussed bythe "old man" as well as by the angrysubscribers, for carelessness or for indis-cretions In articles. Therefore if he hasnatural tact, it will be developed. Forit must be affirmed that no man, whetheru practical printer or a college professor,can come to any degree of success injournalism unless be has native tact anddiscretion, and that to a wonderful extent.Ofcour.se, this in some measure, may beacquired.

As William Culleri liryant affirmed:" The editor should be on his guardagainst publishing what is false in tasteor exceptionable in morals; but whetherhe will follow this custom in regard totaste, will of course depend upon his ownIntellectual culture."

Herein sounds the keynote of the dif-ference existing between the college bredmm and the practical printer. Whichhas the better intellectual culture?

The printer says he has the best prac-tical education. True, but'let us bewarelest we fall into error.

Education must be judged by its result?,and Humboldt bit upon a truth when hesaid: "The result of any system of edu-cation depends entirely upon the powerthat a man possesses of applying tbe in-line nee brought to bear upon him to theends of self culture, or whether he alljwshimself to be molded by them." There-tore let us see how the printer and thescholar, educate themselves.

You will declare that one lenrns byreading newspapers, while the other digsknow ledge out of the books. Thus arewe all either growing above our sourcesof knowledge, or else becoming subject toand being molded by them.

lie who learns by reading newspapersmostly comes to think quickly, but, Itear, not deeply. The sudden transitionstriitu murders to politics, from polltical-economlcal subjects to personal . g o s p-hut us out from profound thought onan} thing, consequently we tend unfortu-nately to tbe superficial. While we cometo know something of everything, do weknow thoroughly any one thing? No,we do not. There is the dangerous pit*fall of the man brought up in a newspa-per office.

On the other hand, in a goo 1 book,which "is the precious life-blood of itmaster spirit," we come to know theMibject thoroughly, surely, and the im-pression is a more profound one. Ahealth aud vigor is given the mind bythought and digestion, books attain Uthat blessed end more truly than shortnewspaper articles. This is not to begainsaid. So the scholar loves his books,And when he enters upon the field ojournalism, he goes back to them as otteras his time will allow for new strength:new thoughts, and as a refuge. For thedaily I'ooil of exchanges well nigh drawout his ohl book love, and he may aftea time uet the editor's impatience at longarlicles. However, he always feels athough, after all, "A good book is afriend wbo never deceives."

It is believed by not a few that the lit sihook printed in England was at the Universlty of Oxford under the patronage ocollege m«n, atid the Divine Art certainljat ils birth had noble, well educated god'lathers. For the Greek and Latin anthors were the favorites with those earlprinteMt Hays a historian of the art (printing a hundred years ago:

Countcifeitinir n linking Powder.

The public is too well Informed as tothe danger from alum baking powders, loneed any camion against usin^ them. Itis, nevertheless, a fact that many ef ourmost prudent and careful housekeepersare, without knowing it, using these de-ptvptaat.octfeJaa d.ulv, nn<l froni themW i l e U i v y : i \ v u l e o l i l < l U l l l t r e , Ui< \would not oiler to a beggar. Bakingpowders made from burnt alum cost leasthan four cents a pound. When thesecan bfl worked Off in place ot the RoyalBaking Powder, and sold for forty orfifty cents a pound, there are many inan-ufaoturers and dealers sufficiently unscru-pulous to do It.

A favorite method of selling thesepoisonous alum baking i owdera is byplacing them in an empty Royal BakingPowder call and weighing them out insmall quantities when the Royal BikingPowder is called for by customers. Thegrocer, if questioned, claims that he buysIn large packages at a lower rate, and isthus able to sell below the price of tbe{roods in small cans. All baking pow-ders sold in this way are entitled lo sus-picion. Analyses of many of them havebeen made with a view to a prosecution,and in all cases they have beer, foundlargely adulterated and generally madefrom poisonous burnt alum. This is sell-ing counterfeit goods, and is, of course.on offence against the law. We are gladto know that the Royal Baking PowderCompany have taken the matter In hand,and are acting In a way that w ill protectthe public from the pwinillc.

The. surest protection from tliis fraudis for the housekeeper la buy the bakingpowder of the brand she wishes in Un-original unbroken package, looking care-fully to sec that the label has not beentampered with. The Royal l'> iking Pow-der Company announce, what is wellknown, that their goods ate packed forthe convenience of consumers in cans ofvarious sizes, but are never sold in bulk,by the barrel or loose by weight or meas-ure. The cans arc securely sealed withthe company's trade mark label, and theweight of each package stamped pn thecover.

FROM THE PEOPLE.

June 4th, 18S8.EDITOR COIRIKR:—My attention ha

been exiled to an article in your issue o.May 83d. I refer to Mrs. Standard's letter and your remarks following it. Wityour permission I wish to state a fe\facts as to the W. C. T. U. Having fomore than ten years had the honor obelonging to this noble army of christian women, the white ribbon army,know something of its methods of worin its many different branches. Asmatter of tact, It is no sense a uplitinM«»t-«n--^i«io« ioitiviUiutl memberhave their own political views and hava perfect right to have, the same as yoor I. We do not seek to control that. Iour Ann Arbor Union I never hearpolitics mentioned. We are members odifferent churches, working togetherothe common ground of "total abstinenceboth by teaching and living. The firsarticle of our belief is this:

Reaolved, That the cause of temperance,the cause of God, and us such is one and indivisible; that it is truth, scient iflc, moral anreligious; that Itisnota local butageuerucause; that it Is above sect; that tin- evil tbe remedied is a common soil; that the olJect to be attained is a common gooc

Surely this is plain enough. I you are nowilling to help us In the good we are tryinto do "In His name" pray do not pu•tumbling blocks In our way by misrepresentlngus. We all know what a power thpress is for good or evil, and to my mlnthere is no middle ground upon this temperance question. It \a right, or it is wrong 1it is a sin, as Christian women believe, theno amount ot legalizing can make it rlghThe press should be on the side of "God amHome and Native land." Largely it is sthank God. MRS. JENNIK Ii. KISIIKR,

[The COURIER is now, always habeen, and always will be ready and willing to help the cause of temperance, anchas devoted money, time and space tthat end. But what we protest againsmost emphatically is the mixing of tlitemperance cause with politics. The WC. T.

The LiTe Stock Indicator.

EDITOR COURIER:—The following aitsome good suggestions made by the stockshow journal to the county fair associa-tions:

Breeders and exhibitors of the various,breeds of fine stock should get togetherin good time and see to it that many mis-takes of the past, be avoided. We arenone of those who would by any meanscharge the mistakes of the past to super-intenednts of departments. On the con-trary we consider that but very little ofthis power should be left in the hands olthe superintendentents as there areenough of minor details for them to at-tend to. Besides this is a question thateminently pertains to the best interest ofbreeders themselves, and if they only takethe trouble, they are by far the best qual-ified to make selections of strong com-petent men of Integrity. Experts arefew and far between, and it will takeyears to educate enough to do the workrequired. The object of agricultural fairsand live stock shows is to educate notalone the farmer but the exhibitorsthemselves. Tho decisions incompetentjudges are worse than noue, because nomatter how absurd it may be, there arepeople who will conclude that it is just,and they frequently follow in the lineof such decision as have been marked out.Let us have the best judges obtainable.

MEMOItlAL, DAY.Wednesday, May 30th, opened up clear

and bright enough to warm up the heartsif all of the old veterans, as was provenby the large number who responded tothe call.

At an early hour the veterans, wearingthe bine, ladies, children and old gentle-men, mljrlit have been seen coming fromall directions, toward the court house,with arms or baskets of lluwers, wherethe members of

TIIK LADIES' DECORATION SOCIETY,under the direction of their presidentMrs. Amanda Wood, had already assem-ble! to receive them. Some sixty bas-kets tilled with beautiful boquets carsfully made by tlieir hands were soon iireadiness for the veterans who were todecorate the graves of their departed com-rades.

At 8::!0 a. in., promptly, Welch l'osassembled at tlieir room?, "'fell in," ammarched to the court house. A detail ol12 men, under Senior-Vice-CommandeE. S. Manly, were supplied with a biske! of Sowers for each grave, they immediately took seats in a carriage amwere conveyed to St. Thomas cemeterywhere the duty of decorating the gravewas tastefully and solemly executed.

At 10 a. in. the detad having returnedthe Post, as a body, loaded the wagonwith baskets of flowers, aud then havingtaking seats in the different conveyanceprovided, the connnand was given, amthe procession moved off toward the

1 I F i l l WARD CEMKTKltV.After a drive of about fifteen minute

the teams halted at the gates, the command was given to "fall in," the line waformed, aud Welch Post, escorted oieither side by a large number of ladiesgentlemen aud children of the city, tileinto the cemetery, up to, and around thsoldiers'monument, where the beautifuservices, as given in the G. A. K. liitua(including the salute) were render.

Mrs. N. H. Pierce, one of the organizers, and ever since its organizationprominent member of tiie Ladies' Decoration Society, was here introduced, anaddressed the audience In an earnest amentertu.'i1'tl.'r... "tr,]\\v-,Vin£; va iv'coyA O^wtyremarks:

Friends and brothers:—As this is a daand an occasion in winch 1 have ahvayfelt a deep Interest, and as we have kepup the custom ot strewing tlie graves osoldiers with flowers in honor of the sacrtflce they made upon the altar of freedom, almost ever since the close of thwar—I have asked the privilege of saying a few words to those present to-da;iu remembrance of that fearful time thacalled so many of our dear ones from oubome* and our hearts to face the norm owar against our beloved country.

Twenty three years ago our countr;emerged from the throes and turmoil oa civil war! And many of the men wh<stand here to-day have been upon thbattle Meld and faced the cannon of thtenemy. And we who were participantsor sulVereis in the loss of friends, in thtdreadful struggle of right against wrongot peace against continual intestinal strife;and bloodshed, if union agnins'disssolutiou, of freedom against slavery, remeniher well all the horrors of that fearfuconflict. The following words, writtenwhen the war was but eighteen monthsold, brings the condition of the countryvividly to mind: "Suspense fitly ex-presses the condition of affairs at thismoment, Sept. 10, 18C2. We write thiswith throbbing pen I We send forth anearnest, prayerful, almost agonized ap-peal for a right policy and an earnestwork in putting down the rebellionWhen will it all end, and how? Thesky is black; the horizon livid with thelightning's glare. The ship of state iswell nigh stranded, while the storm olwar is beating upon her with relentlessfury. Mothers whose agony of suspenseis too deep for utterance, clasp their littleones in a fond embrace and look wistfullyto the future! Is all this grand, thisglorious heritage received from ourfathers to be crumbled into ruin* Shaltreason, black-hearted and bloody-handed, delile and destroy it? ' ' Butafter four years of carnage the struggleended, and liberty, beautiful, unharmed,but with garments stained with the bloodof her defenders, stood forth before theworld victorious over her enemies. Butnow a marvelous change has come uponourcountrv. Men who were prominentupon the rebellion side are restored toonfidence and honor, and one is now

safely entrusted within the cabinet. Feel-ngs of hatred and bitter animosity have;iven place to brotherly kindness, anillands are clasped over the bloody chasm;hat divided the north from the south.There is no longer a division, we are one.It is because we are a nation! Embrac-ng all parties, and we, as the people,lave demonstrated to the world that we

are self preservative and self-sustaining,with the help of that power 90 earnestlybesought in the hour of our peril.

To-day we stand the model govern-ment of the world. It is dear to thelearts of the people, and each return ofnemorial day kindles anew the fires ofmthnslasm upon our sacred altars, andminipts us to rejoice while we sorrow

over the immense sacrilice of human life,o necessarily made to preserve ourinion indissoluble.

DKCORATION DAT.Once more the Joyous day returns

When we remember well,The good and true who fouuht Cor us,. Who fouijhl and nobly fell.The good and true who fought and died,

When day was dark as night.They came as comes the sun and moon.

And brought us savins lights.We think of that dark day In this

Our plentltude of peace;We tbtnk of them, our country's pride,

With loves divine Increase.We think how grandly they arose

And rallied round the flag,And bore it nobly up, while others

Down to death would drag.They spent their lives for union,

For liberty and law;They saw the grand results of time,

The poet spirit* saw.They fought for this, our pleasant peace,

For this, our strengthening store;And Uod will bless their souls with peace

And pleasure evermore.And we will gather knots of flowers,

And buds, and garlands gay:And deck their monuments and graven

on Decoration Day.Oh mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers,

Friends and freemen all,Let patriotism warm your hearts,

And hear thU great love call!The bugle-call sounds from the dead,

As ye approach their graves;To ask If freedom's flag o'er proud

Columlilu freely waves.

Then let us bring earth's fairest flowers,And buds, aud gnrlHDds Kay;

And lay them on each soldiers graveOn Deooration day.

Oh let no cburllnh raiser chide,And deem It all unmeet;

That thus with flowers of victory weOur victor brothers greet.

And let no calculating crossness< •oiiiii our wealth misspent;

For this Is done In wisest love,On gratitude Intent.

We love the dead who died for us,And gave for us their youth;

We love and honor them with allOar heart's sweet trust and truth.

We love their graves, though here belowTheir bodies only He;

And far above their spirits soarIn Uod's all-seeing sky.

Then let ns bring earth's sweetest flowers.And buds and garlands gay;

To crown with gratitude aud joyEach Decoration Day.

J.Ik*"* the music of a song,I,Ike the fragrance of a flower.

Their memories Nhall be with us longAnd hallow the sweet hour.

The comrades, after raising their hatsas a Post, In token of their appreciation>f the lady's address, each bearing a bas-ket of bouquets, then separated and per-'ormed the work of love,—by visitingand adorning each dead comrade's grave,—thirteen in number. This duty per-brmed. the line was again formed,and Welch Post, together with thosethere assembled, once more marched outof the neat and tastefully decoratod cem-itery, took their carriages and returnedo the court house, reloaded the wagon

with baskets of flowers, and at 11:15 ft.m. the procession moved on toward

Arriving there, the Post, accompaniediy a large number of our citizens, anded by a " muflled drum " sounding the'long roll,'1 marched slowly and solemly.done its avenues until the resting placeof Col. Welch was reached, where a"hollow square''was formed and the G.A. R. services again repeated. Afterwhich the comrades, each with his basketof love's tribute, started on his errand,and some 49 graves reccivrd this mark ofremembrance. Heassambling at the gate,the comrades once more took carriages,and at 12:15 alighted therefrom at thePost rooms, where they broke ranks,were dismissed, and separated for dinner.

Mr. Baldwin presided at the Junemeeting. Hec'y (janzlioni read a letterfrom Sec'y of State asking for fruit sta-tistics. Mr. Ganzbom experts an aver-age crop of peaches, plums very favorahie, quinces fall, grapes very well let.Dr. C. Howell n e w saw peaches applw,quinces and pears more pronlviug.(i rapes a I e very good looking, straw IM-I -rles suffered some from the cold, black-berries and raspberries look very good.E- Baur says Bartletts and the earlier va-rieties of pears, like Uigords and Rostl-zei>, look more promising than lustmonth. Flemish Beauties overbore la-tyear, and the crop will be light.

Prof. B. E Nichols, chairman of thecommittee which has done SUCH goodwork last vear, saving for the fruit grow-ers from five to six hundred doll us- ontransportation, gave a full report of hiswork so tar, so that shippers will havealso cheap transportation for berriessonic: fruit growers who never bear anyburden of the society, either in moneyor time, who, however, are always reachto take advantage of the hard work oltheir fellows, have even neglected to paytheir last year's, tax of one cent pcibushel, which the active members paillong ago to Prof. Nichols.

Mr. (ianzhoru reported that the fniiiexchange of South Haven is incorporated. The directors have appointed 8fruit inspector who attends to the ship-ping and distribution of fruit, and rejectiInferior fruit and measure. This exchange has saved to the fruit men duringlast season $1.50 per barrel on apples,alone. J . D. Baldwin said we should ittime make arrangements for shipping peaches in refrigerator cars, especially at the ripening of Crawford peache.and Bartlett pears. E. Baur said theberry business should not be overlookedLast year strawberries did not pay. Largegrowers Hooded the market, and fulquart baskets had to compete with smallcbaskets at the same price.

Among other business the topic "Creamery" had to be laid over for want of timeThe fanners and our businessmen shouktake this topic in hand.

The topic "Fruit Exchange '' shouldcall out every fruit grower. Lack of systern in the sale aud distribution of fruiresulted annually in losses which whave suffered too long. The cotnmitteon fruit exchange will have an extru sts8ion next Saturday at 7 p. m., at the res!dence of President Baldwin.

It was gone. " Hnch infamy—to stealone's very implements of toil!' he cried,in a rage, as he sent for the old wood-siiwycr again,

Mr. Motiser, of course, grieved over hisloss, lint managed (o conquer the regretsulBcient to display some of his old witand mirth.

But this good feeling received a suddencheck the morning after the burjfltti v ofthe jack.

"Lizbeth, look at tliis!"Mrs. Mou«er became alarmed. Her

" Why, this is splendid ! You can stonce notify the authorities that thr- 'jnrk'is yours—the thieves who carried itOff-"

"Oh, my—oh, my!" groaned Mr.Moitser; "don't talk to me about thievcF.I may be arrested any moment whinthev discovt r—"

" Oh, Lizbeth I may not even be ableto prove an alibi. Ob, what (hall I do?I tell ycu, wife, I am not entirely lime -cent."

"Ah, we nab you confessing, my tinebird,'' a rude voice here interrupted, fol-lowed by the entrance of the minions ofjustice.

Mrs. Mouser begged, cried, slomiedand implotel.

A SIBERIAN PRISON.HE June number of theCentury l&ayazint containsthe second of George Ken-nan's illustrated papers onSiberia and the Kxilo Sys-tem, which are attractingsuch wido attention. Thearticles are being exten-sively copied into foreignpapers, among others theorgan of the Russian lib-

erals, published at Geneva, by whom theyare very highly commended.

In this June number Mr. Kennan gives aninteresting account of his visit to the for-warding prison at Tinmen, where he founddouble the number of prisoners confinedthan there wus room for.

In reply to a question from Mr. Kennanas to how many prisoner* died during theyear, the warden replied:

"About three hundred. We have an epi-demic of typhus almost every fall. Aprison so overcrowded can not bo kepiclean, and as for tho air in the cells, youknow now what it is like. The local author-ities here have again and again urged theGovernment to make adequate provisionfor the large number of exiles crowded in-to the prison during the season of naviga-tion, but thus far nothing has been done beyond the building of two log barracks."•In the overcrowded women's prison Mr.Kennan says he found no criminals—all ofthe occupants were voluntarily going intobanishment with their husbands.
