Ovor Their Graves.
Over their graves tang onco the bugle's call,
Tbe iarrhlng shrapnel, and tbe crashing
ball;
Tbe shriek, tin shook ot bat'le, and the
noili
Of horse; the cries of anguish anil dismay;
And tho bud cannon' thunders that appall.
Now through the years the brown pine
needle fall,
The vines run riot by tbe old stono wall,
By hedge, by mtjadjn streamlet, faraway,
Over their grave!
We love our tlad whrj'er h?ld in
thrall,
Than they no Oreek more bravely die I, nor
Unul,-
A love Hint's deathless! but they look
today
With no repro ich w on us when we sty,
"Come! let us daip your hands, we're
brothers all,"
Over their graves!

THE WEDDING JEWELS,
"Two of 'cm going to be married at
once!" anid Aunt Amaranth. "Well,
that's good luc' for Emily J inc. Six

Frovidcnc."
"I don't think mamma thinks so,
Aunt Amaranth," said Lucy Pond,

"She dou't ny fo, of course, out of
consideration for the feeling of you
flirts, " fx id Aunt Amnriiuth, sourly;
'but t hare's no sort of doubtafitit that

'Youtnlk as if we did it on pur

'Well, how do I know Im', what

"There! you needn't hing the dishes

How do you expect to pay for your

city houso whero tho live other sisters
were all happy tojr ithei ! Hut t'int was
quite out of the . lestion.
Mrs. I'ond wiis poor; it co.t a great

"I suppose," sai l Aunt Amiranlh,

her blnck silk mitten, "they'll cxpoct

"1 don' t think they'd eijicct any

"Well, then, suppose, you takt the

"No, thank!' ' said Clara, with a
toss of tho yellow ho.nl that win like
her mother's. "1 don't want any second-hand
ill-luck, either."
"But what will your nunt think! '
"Whnt sho pleases," said Cinra.
"She is so kind to dear Lucy."
"J am sure, that's n m irit on her
part," said Hessio. "No oin could
help bdng kind to L ie."
What am I to say to her" sighed
Mrs. Pond.
"Tho truth, mamma, of course"
Undoubtedly this was gJol advice,
yet the truth U by no means always pil
atahle. Aunt Amaranth was very angry.
"The jewels wcm good enough for
tho Jay family," said she. "1 don't
ken why tho Po ids shou d turn up
their noses at 'cm. However, lot 'cm
do ni they please. Its their businoss,
not mi no, if Hesi choous to do with

Lucy? the minister again? It seem, to

"Y-ye, perhnn he doei," admitted
Lucy, with downcast eyjlashcs.
Cin't you sec what h) want ? '
"Ho askc I for yon, Aunt Amaranth."
"Well, Inuppo-o 1 must go in nnd

She w. -lit in compi.icnntly, b it when

at I.u-y.
' Licy," said shi, "is thii truj?''
Lucy hung down her head.
"Why didu'. y )u tell me bef ir;?"
"t I thought you m it sure! sse

"Well, I suppisa I hivi buea 1)1 in lor

"It never onco occarrod to me tint you

"I mean to try my best, Aunt Ama

right aw.iy. Well, you've been a good

old lady, "and we'll g shopping thin

Lucy lifted her sift brown eyei t

"Aunt Amaranth," said she, "you

' Would you like themi" sharply de

"Yes."
Yuv havo no silly piejulico against

"No, Aunt Amaranth."
'1). you like them? '
Truthful lilllo Luc hesitated.
"I am sum that lsha'l IUo anything

sail she, "whatever it is."
"Humph," said the o'd lady. "You

(ireat was the cco'.ng and chattering

".she !m I een so gold!" snid Lucy,
will spar'riling ejv. O'l, I'm so
sorry ti nt I ever was ciosi or unjust to
her !''
"For all tha," said Clara, "it would
tn!o more than Aunt AmaCanth's silk

hers."
"I would wear anything to pleac
Aunt Amaranth," su d loyal Lucy.
' Suppose you show them to in,"
.iid C.nra,
Oil, I have not como into posnoi

Amaranth is to bring tlici.i when sho
comes to the we bling."
' You won't wear them to be m:r

If Aunt Amaranth wishoi it, 1
w.l ."
And to this resolution Lucy bravely
iidhcrod, in spite of log c, persuasion
or i i I c lie.
Il was tho night 19(919 lli9
wed ling. Aunt Amaranth, fresh from
hor journoy, wai drinking tea and eat
ing cold chic'en nt a corner of th? table,
an 1 asking iunumci jblc ipioition.
" i!y threo girls left, eh, E n ly

they're all as good as Lucy h re, I
almost wish they wero mine. It -the-way.herV.
Lucy's brooch and earrings."
Mrs. P. mi glanced timi lly at th
lilac-velvet case. In her secret heart
she, too, feared the reputed ill-luck of
opals; ye'. Aunt Amiran'h w;u by far
too important n person to off :nd.
"D you want to put 'em on!1' said
tho ol I lady, i.brup'ly, to h;r favirito

"Yes, Aunt Amaranth," sni I Lucy
smiling.
"He's coining tonight, Isappoio!"
"Oh, 1 f couise!"
" I should liko him to see yon wear

"Then I will put them on," said
Lucy, li king up the case.
' L'.'t me di it, my dear," said Aunt
Amaianth.
Two drops of fiery dew, nems of
glittering white stones, dished at Lucy's
throat and in her little, aiiell-likn cars.
'Oh, Aunt Amaranth I" sho cried

SPOUTING GBYSBRS.
Making the Yellowstone Park
Springs Boil.
Soapinf? the Geysers Causes
Thoir Extinction.
Taily 0110 morning, a few years ago, n
Chinese Inun lryman pitched his tent
clou; b sid i on of the geysers in the
Yellowstone Na':onal P.uk nndsiippliel
himself with h it wtter Irom tho spring
thus saving hini'.clf the trouble nf set
ting up n I 1 i!ci nnd building n ti e.
Dm ing the day he accidentally dr-pp?d
n bar of soap into tile steaming gcy-or.
and in a few minutes tle.re was a rum
bling, a ron r, nnoiltbur-l of stcuun and
water, nnd tho tent nnd the t'hiiiiim.in
were htei ally "blown up." Tins cald
el C le-tial did not stop running until
he re.ichc I the hotel, 11 id he was (hen
too thoroughly f rightene 1 for uttei iiucc.
Since then it has been almost impoisi
ble to in In e a c.iiiiainau to leinaiu in
the vicinity of the geyseis.
B it tho lucidjii al dUo.veiy that a
geyser could be provoked into spouting
out of its tini: has been turned to ac
count by smile of Ihu guides and soldiers
in the pmk, and the result is that some
of Ihc wonderful springs hnvo become
veiy iir.'gular in their nclioii, mid there
is a po-sibilit that they will cease, to
spoilt altogether.
Theie are 17 Inrgn geysers iu tho up
per bain, and somn of lliem at regular
intetv.di send up stream! of wi'cr from
Id lo .'ID fet in circuinfereni e to 11
height of l.VI an 1 2 el fe t. As tour
ists rarely remain at this spot more tlia 1
21 hours, they, of couise, want to see
one of the largo giv ers play. Unless
they arrive on the opportune dnys, the
only gevser I hey are likely to see is
"O il Faithful," which piouts every (!5
jninu'es. Hut to seo the other geysers
spout is the 1 v:nt of tho trip, and in
this m ilter the assistance of the soldier
who is placed on guard to prevent tiu -isls
from despoi ling p iblic property is
requested.
At every point of intenst tho tourist
finds n soldi -r watchin; his footstcpi.
This r ipionugi i! to prevent vandals
nnd -crunk 1" from scrawling tho ir
mimes on the rocks, nud to stop tho
relic fiends from defacing the beautiful
rock foimations that surround tho gey
sers. But these fellows hnvo learned
about tho accident which befall the
Chinaman nnd his field laundry, and
tinny of them will undertake to make
n geyser spout, even if it bo not itsex
hibi 1011 day.
The inili ito 1 tourist hand 1 to ono of
these guardians a fivo-dollar note. The
soldier slices a bar of soap into thin
pieces, wrapi the ma.s in a sheet of
pnpT, nnd while walking aroun I the
geyser to see that no ono defaces the
rocks, throws the piper of chipp 1 soap
into the steaming spring. Tneii he re
tires, nnd bo mil tho tourist await
developm oils. In fiom half an hour to
rn hour the spiing begins to spout, its
nction b'iug forced by tho chemicals iu
j ttie son p.

j Tho Bee Hive censed playing ou account
j of the soaping proc rs. it was a very

grand. The soap was again trie I the
other day with sncccs. Just as the
spouting began two tourist an In soldier
emerged from behind si 111 1 trees 11 short
distance away and run to a point, ns
near the geyser ni they duel go. This
spouting was a surprise to all isnvo the
initiated, ospecia ly as there ii a little
"indicator ' geyser nearby that spouts
as a warning that tho Inrg-roia is about
to play. As tho visitors did not also
treat tho little gcser to soap il ill I not
