MEMORY.
fTha f nllnarlner llnaa wara written on th.
oocaaion of a gathering of a family on a
summer afternoon at an old homestead.
While th. older children war. playing cro-
quet on tbe green lawn the grandfather
on the porch foil asleep A little grand-
child diacoverinii him. climbed no in his
lap and then in the twilight they sang a
duet with such inspiring sweetness a to
awaken poetio emotions. J
The lengthing shadows on th. smooth
green lawn
Foretold th. close of day. A noisy thrush
Piped forth his joyous melody of song
Ana naugnt Deaiaos aisiuroea in. even
ing's hush.
Tbe silent summer gepbyr scarcely stirred
Nor leaf nor branch on stately elm or pine
No sound awoke the stillness save the b
ird
Perched 'mid the branches of the
grapevine

From its smooth floor each vagraut leaf
was swept
And there reclining in an old arm chair
A white-haired grandsire nodded aa he
slept.
The little village journal silent laid
Limp and unfolded at his slippered feet
When from the open door a little maid
Stole softly forth and lisped in accents
sweet.
"Oh here you are.
where."
And clambering to
Pve hunted every
his knee she gently
lata
Her soft Firown locks against his silvery hair
And looking np with loving gaze she said:
'Grandpa lei

goes
And I must say good night
What shall

Then on the summer air their voices rose
In that old hymn "Nearer my uod to
Thee."
"Nearer my God to Thee" her childish alto
rings
Out on the stillness and the old man
Vainly to stifle as he faintly sings
In unoiaaen tears tnat rxicaie uowa uia
cheeks.
"Nearer my God to Thee" the hymn goes

Their blended Toices lift the prayerful
strain.
"Nearer my God to Thee to Thee" until
The thrush himself takes up tne sweet
refrain.
"Neorer my God to Thee" sang youth and
age
While summer twilight o'er the Bingers fell;
Ah may that prayer their willing hearts
. engage
"Nearer to Thee" who doest all things
well
"Nearer my God to Thee." Be this their
song
Through life and whereso'er on earth
they be
And e'en in heaven among the angelic
throng
Keep them Oh Father keep them near
to Thee.

Tbe parki and publio gardon of
Waahincrton furniBb ita groatest at
traction to the permanent resident
during tbe boated aummer season.
The transient visitor may afford to
swelter in the publio buildings for
a day while he is seeing the sights
of this city i but for a steady thing
at this season (Tire as the parks.
During the past fiscal year eighty
thousand dollars have been expended
in the improvement of the parks but
this is a mere bagatelle in comparison
with tbeir cost in previous years.
Numerous trees and shrubs have been
Dlanted in the nark between the
White House and the 'Washington
Monument which is directly in the
rear of the Executive Mansion.
Thousands of ornamental plants have
been propagated in the Monument
Grounds and different parks were
adorned by the addition of new pave-
ments and by the planting of many
flowering bulbs. Several statues
have also been placed during the
year. Most ox the parks do not
exceed one or two squares in size but
a few are quite extensive of the latter
cla6S Soldier's Home is the most
strikinar example. Just beyond the
Northern boundary of the city is a
long1 avenue of trees through which
the visitor reaches a large gate
hoBtiitablv thrown ODen. Within is
-
a veritable Arcadia with modern
improvements placid lakes with
water lilies and the graceful forms of

on the snores ui-ossmar a rusuo
bridge that spans ono of the lakelets
different roads lead off to different
parts of the grounds or double with
confusing: iteration on their own
tracks. Let us choose this one which
seems coolest and most pleasant.
The way winds through green mead
ows ; passes benoath the ovorhanging
branches of trees in what seems to be
almost the'forost primeval'so old.gnar-
lod and light excluding are the trees;
through light and Bhade; through
deep valleys with brooks babbling
along and with violets growing on
the mossy banks; and over gentle
hills. From one of these eminences
Washington can be seen far away.
The city is more beautiful at this dis-
tance than it would be on a nearer
view. Tne methodical streets tne
rows of houses all disappear. The
Capitol Monument and some of the
larger edifices are alone distinguish-
able from the mass of buildings. The
whistle of a locomotive train or a
steamboat comes faintly to the ear.
As cending a long hill we come
upon the two main edifices of Soldiers
Home. One is used as an eating and
lodging house and the other aa a
hospital. At any place in the
grounds old soldiers clad in blue
uniforms may be met but here they
are swarming. Those who are able
are employed in various light kinds
of garden farm and dairy work for
which they receive' nominal wages.
Others roam about with no apparent
object or lie beneath the trees in
groups dreaming most likely of any-
thing but war. 'and deplorincr the

inferior quality of tobacco and tne
high price of beer others Bit on
piazzas smoking and reading

The Scott Law. -Some

Ohio in response to tho demand of
the people of that State passed ft high
license enactment which was known
as tha Scott law from the name ofJKts

rid of it eppliod to the courts but
the lattor have just returned an
evasive decision wnicn praoiioauy
keeps the law in force. Thisdocision
ill be worth millions of dollars to
the tax-payers oi that State. It must
be confessed that our State courts
have too often played into the hands
of the liquor doalers. They have in
effect partially nullified the prohibi
tion enactments of the States of Kan

evil of our aire. Over $300000000
per annum is spent in this country
m the nurohsse of ardent spirits.
The use of liquor must cost ft vastly
greater sum indirectly in the criminals
and paupers it creates while there
are no fimires that can convey an
idea of the misery and the heart
break which result from the liquor
traffio. The prohibition sentiment is
growing in every part of the country
and evnrr man and woman who think
of the future of their children should
unite to discountenance in every way
moral and legal the sale and use of
every kind of intoxicating drink.
