THE EVENING CALL.
BEHIND AND BEFORE.
“One thing I do ; the thing behind forget
ting,
And reaching forward to the things be
fore,
Unto the goal, the prize of God’s high
calling,
Onward I press”—said that great soul of
yore,
And in the heart, like strains of martial
music,
Echo the words of courage, trust and
cheer,
The while we stand, half hoping, half re
gretting,
Between the coming and the parting year.
Behind are joys, fond hopes that found
fulfillment,
Sweet fellowships, glad toil of hand and
brain,
Unanswered prayers, burdens of loss and
sorrow,
Faces that look no more in ours again.
Before us lie the hills, sunlit with prom
ise,
Fairer fulfillments than the past could
know,
New growths of soul, new leadings of the
spirit,
And all the glad, surprises God will show.
All we have done or nobly failed in doing,
All we have done, or bravely striven to
be,
Makes for our gain, within us still surviv
ing,
As power and larger possibility.
All, all shall count; the mingled joy and
sorrow’
To force a finer being rise at last;
From the crude ores in trial’s furnace
smelted,
The image of the perfect life is cast.
* * *
Be it the rise of the bobolink, out of
the meadow grass, or the swaying of
the blackbirds in a maple top in
spring, or tbe fanning of the crow’s
pinions iu southward flight, and the
itration of the katydid in autumn,
they do not lack their rythem, tbeir
poetry of wave like movement. Spring
advances and autumn retreats in un
dulating movement, not a steady
march. Today is a complete pause,
tomorrow the wave of heat er cold
moves the season forward, in a willful
way of its own, like a flock of birds or
children. They will not fly or walk or
run like machines; oh, no! Theie
must be a feint and a dart and a hop,
skip and a jump, to get the zest of life.
We stand beside tbe stream and it
seems to smile at the idea of any
thing in tbe way of movement dif
ferent from its own poetic, flowing
way. It murmurs a love passage at
every ripple, and sings a song at every
cascade, and every dancing happy
wavelet is pledged to leap and whirl
and pireonte all tbe way from tbe
mountain to the sea We watch the
flood pouring over a high dam, and
what do we see and hear? A steady,
monotonous fall? No, for though no
breath of air is stirring to affect it, the
genius of rhytlm is here, and tbe
water drops in successive sheets, puls
ing, beating, with a magic metre of its
own, waking the echoes in sympathy,
and seating the earth a trimble until
the windows rattle in unison for a half
mile around The light flashing from
sun and stars finds time to dance in
its incredible flight. Not in an un
broken stream, but in beautiful undu
lations, comes this exquisite mystic
current, with vibrations that are
measurable by the delicate lenses and
screens of the astronomer. The eye
is not deceived, tbe light that twinkles
from Sirius, does indeed tremble, that.

This interesting address was made
by Mis. James S. Boynton to the
Daughters of the Confederacy, Wed
nesday afternoon, at an important
meeting held to make arrangements
for Memorial Day. Mrs. Walter Becks,
Mrs. Bell, Miss Heid and Miss Nall
were appointed a committee to ar
range the programme for the day :
“LaD’es: —During the war between
the States, the fathers, husbands and
sons of the South readily volunteered
t» fight for a cause they regarded as
sacred as home and liberty Many of
them gave up life on the battlefield,
and many died in hospitals away from
home, and were buried far away from
loved ones.
“Over one thousand of these brave
and devoted patiiote found a resting
place in our community. And the
good women here undertook the holy
task of marking these graves, giving
them such attention as loved ones
would have done, were they buried at
their homes.
“And the good and noble women of
this city raised money, erected head
boards and a monument to their mem
ory, and have cared for them, and on
the 26th of each April, have held suit
able memorial exercises and placed
garlands of flowers on tbeir graves.
“Tha Memorial Association which
has so long and lovingly tended this
last home of our patriots, has given to
the hands of the Daughters of the Con
federacy this hallowed privilege, and I
appeal to you to accept this sacred
trust, and perform the duties incum
bent upon us with the’zeal and devos
tion which has been so long bestowed
upon this hallowed spot,
“This sacred trust must be reserved
to the women of tbe South through all
generations. And we should accept
the tr i’t with enthusiasm, as a sacred
inheritance. We love the memories
of the dear old South! We honor the
heroes who died for us, and we should
strive by all the means in our power
to preserve their names from oblivion!
We should strive to keep bright and
fresh on the altars of our hearts, and
in the hearts of our dear children, the
sacred fire of liberty which they so
gloriously illustrated. This is a theme
dear to patriotism, and will be sacred
to glory.
“While tbe mantle of duty is upon
us, I beseech you to contribute all,
and whatever may be, in your power
for tbe faithful administration of this
high and holy duty.”
