4 WHAT THE REUNION BROUGHT TO ME. Rome 'l l ibune. That confederate reunion brought rare, sweet experiences to me. The marching of the old grey veterans on Broad street '■ent a thrill through tlie blood that had never been felt before I have seen raanv gorgeous mili tary precessions. The national en campment at Washington in ’B6 was a scene of plumes and pageantr\; the Centennial of the Constitution at Pmladdpbia in 1887 was cele brated by a great gathering of mi itia; the inauguration of Presi dent Harrison in 1889 was mark ed by a most elaborate military procession. These were grand occa-ims and the sight inspired wonder and admiration. But when the “boys of gre>”— tbee old veterans of the sixties — stepped along Broad street last Thursday, to the stratus ot “Dixie.” the "buckshot" climbed up and down my spinal column,’’and there was a stir in tny heart and a thrill in my blood that had never been there before. I cannot describe the feeling. But I know it glorified and sancti fied the whole being; it gave my spirit a refreshing and set in motion new and holy impulses that seemed to have been sleeping up to that hour. It was anew revelation of old things, and gave me a higher conception of th? rufleriugs and sacrifices of the past, and of the grandeur and glory of the cause that was lost! The reunion ‘brought another joy that was even sweeter than the sight of old veterans marching to the music of “Dixie.” Among that great throng of grand men was one who to me was pre-erni nent. A modest old man be was, with bent form and furrowed face and gray hair, now nearly 80 years old; but with loyal heart and un- conquered spirit, still loving his com <@des and the} cause for which theT’fought with yearning tender ness—my own father. How glad and proud I was to have him with me; to walk beside him and feel the pressure of his arm; to see him meet and greet the boys and note the flash of eye and glow of face as old friendships were renewed and old memories recalled! And then at evening, on the veranda of our home, to have him sit with us as the honored guest and hear him tell of the old days that tried men’s souls, was a privil ege and a delight that cannot be put into words. When bed-time came I whisper ed to my wife that I wanted to sleep with him, as I used to in childhood days. With a woman’s quick perception, she understood this desire, and slipped away to piepare the room and fix the bed, so everything would be fresh and sweet for this guest who comes to us so rarely, but who is so deeply loved. And after we were in bed she came again, softly and quietly, to- make sure we were snug and comfortable and to kiss us good night! After the stir and excitement of the dav the old veteran slept well. In the far hours of the night I awoke and fouud his arm about me, as it used to be when I snuggled close to him in the long past baby days. I could hear his breathing and knew he was sound asleep. I think he must have dreamed about his boy and placed his arm uncon sciously about me. Memory got busy then, and I recalled the first time I had ever seen my father to remember him.

I remember how I was suddenly awakened, with ihe glad exclama tion, “Children, your father’seome!’’ And I was caught up out of bed by a tall, rugged'man, dressed in a gray uniform aud w aring a cap, who hugged me until I was almost breathless, and called me his baby! How grand he looked in niv child ish eyes that night, and how I i l ing to him in wonder and delight. This was the father who had been to war of whom my mother daily talked and sung, and for whom she night ly prayed, and who was to come back some day to make us glad! All this, and more, came rushing back to me last Thursday night, as I lay there in bed with that same dear father’s arm about me in lov ing embrace; and there came to me koptSisn. of joy not often vouehased to men in middle life. I remembered the couplet: ‘•Backward, turn backward Oil, Time in your flight. And make me a boy again, .1 list tor one night. Aud to me the prayer of the poet was fully realized; I was just a child again, nestling happily against mv father’s bosom! No wonder the tears came in that silent hour, aud the heart beat fast and the blood leaped and thrilled in my veins! It was to me a happy time that bathed and refreshed the soul, and brought grateful thauksgiving that in the ybars of mature manhood I could still have him with me and could still feel the pressure of his dear old arms about me, and realize that the thrill and glow of childish love had been strengthened and sanctified and made more sure by passing years. Do you wonder, then, that this reunion has made me glad? Will J. Neel. A Power for Good. The pills that are potent in their action and pleasant in effect, are De- Witt’s Little Early Risers. W.

Meyer Anselm Rothschild, who is regarded as the founder of the mil lionaire family, died at Frankfurt in 1812. Today the Rothschilds—• about thirty families—are estimated to be worth over $600,000,000, Eleven of the Rothschilds live in Paris; they are the largest property owners in that city and in France. Whole streets belong to them. At one time they put up the rents in one of their streets so high that, their houses remained empty, where upon they put them at the service of their employees. Some of the most famous vineyards in France also belong to them. Marriages of cousins are very frequent in these families. Forty-three Years of Petroleum.
