THE EVENING GALL. Vol. X No. 190 social Salad pleasantly reported for 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. is.it is a rhythmic, vibratory current, a waye like spreading of the luminous Story of a Slave- so be bound band and foot for years by the chain of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D Williams, of Manchester, Mich., tells how such a slave was made free. He says: “My "He has been so helpless for five years that she could not turn over in bed alone. After using two bottles of Elec tric Bitters, she is wonderfully im proved and able to do her own work.” I his supreme remedy for female dis eases quickly cures nervousness, and sleeplessness, melancholy, headache, backache, fainting and dizzy spells. 1 his miracle working medicine is a godsend to weak, sickly, run down people.

IJ mys ery of the universe The shim j mer and fl ,s.i and jubilant dance of . the aurora in the ln.rtli u dicalta how i nature- f.-ut a< he for .1 dime mi tbe fields of p.i'ar ;»•«• Wave hue spreads the inuudati-m of the morning “fl »tter ing mountain lops with sovran eye, kissing with golden face, tbe valleys green, gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy,” waking the birds to rhythmic song. The. electrical engineer bears many a weird melody spun by the flying dynamos in the night. High or low, with many a quaint tune and refrain and under song chants the electric fluid until its music seems to permate the fllying wheels and the engines become strangely individual and life like. But finer still is the song of the carbons as the mystic fluid bounds through them into the liberty of I’gbt, it is electrici ty singing its Marsellaise of freedom after cions of bondage in the bidden prisons of the universe. Here sings the mildest and most exultant of melodies, fresh, changeful, lawless, potent and strange as it comes straight from the mysterious undercurrent of the world. So we find rhythm high and low, in great and small. * * * 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.” memorial exercises.
