MY HERO. A Sketch of Memorial Day.

BT VKUftA CALDWEIX MfXVUXK. Too much show and red tape, and too little soul; I murmured involuntarily, as the companies of militia, in their faultless uniforms, marched and pirouetted about until finally halted in their places, t he band ceased playing, and the voices of a double quartette of young men and maidens arose joyously in the words -"When flowery suurmer is at hand, And spring has go: rimed the earth with bloom, We higher bring w:th loving hand Bright flowers, to deck our soldier s tomb." To them it was' a gala day, and even the suggestive surroundings failed to bring a shadow to the bright young

laces. What did they know ox war ar.a its dreadful results? aThey died oar country to redeem. " 44 Say, boys, watch the first soprano open her mouth, cavernou3 ain't it?" This in a half whisper from a dudeishlooking militiaman who stood holding his rifle gingerly between the thumb acd forefinger of his white-gloved hand. 44 Jupiter! I'm afraid she'll wake the -old vets, said another. Hang it all ! 'tis going to be killing standing here while all those big guns on the stage show off," observed a third. u What's the use in all this fuss and feathers anyhow, over a few old fellows who've been dead a quarter of a century nearly?" complained the dude. 46 Boys be quiet please and try and observe a little common decency at such a time and place as this." I had notturned my head before, but now my eyes sought the face of the last speaker a young Orderly and as I expected from the voice, it was handsome in outline, frank and uob! in expression. "A fellow as pious as you are, Orderly, ought to be up among the mourners," laughed some one coarsly; but they obeyed him nevertheless, and I forgot to listen minutely to the rather hack

neyed orations from the platform, and j

leu to speculating on ine past nistoiy u the manly youth. In imagination I saw a. ai young mother holding up her baby boy to receive the farewell kiss of Ms father, and heard the little one's about as he stretched his dimpled hands for the bright buttons on the blue uniform. I saw the mother's tears then and months afterward as, pressing her child to her breast, she moaned: "Fatherless, fatherless! oh my baby!" Such little scenes come so naturally to the mind of those of us who have been actors in them. We may have been only the "little one9 whose earliest memory is of papa going away and never coming back, and over whose sky the cloud of mamma's grief hung, turning once bright days to sunless ones; and who vaguely wondered why she never smiled or sang as of yore. Dreaming thus I scarcely noted the flight of time or the changes in the program till the mournful notes of the Dead March in Saul fell on my ear, and a score or more of tiny maidens robed in white, and laden MWith snowy hawthorn, clusters white Fair violets of heavenly bine. And early roses fresh and bright marched out among the soldiers' graves . and scattered their treasures with prodigal hands, while here and there a little figure knelt to arrange some choice offering entrusted by loving friends, recalling the words : We bend and kiss the precious rod, Swi?t fail our tears the graves above ; Oh, brothers, from the hills of God Jjoolt down and see our changeless love, - And then there was more music and marching, arJ mefficrtxx "S3 xva wava

Toward evening I wandered alone ip the now quiet cemetery, seeming moife quiet and lonely than ever after tb le noise and pageant of the day. No tnwe of it all but the heaps of withered floV ers everywhere. 1 A broken headstone nestlirg at ttte foot of an old oak presented an inyiting resting-place ;a just the spot in which t o indulge in another day-dream," I thought, smiling in an indulgent maV ner, as is my won't over umy habit," ate

"And what else?" Baby and Auntie's pet, that's all. "And what is Auntie' a name?" "Jes Austie Lu.w "Well, what is your papa's name?" "Baby's papa is in Heben, 'nd mamma 'nd Mabel too." "Is your grandpa there, and did hi go lately?" "He's there, but he wented 'fore the rest, longnuff." uIs your papa's grave here too?" "No o o," she answered in half un certainty. "I fear I cannot find your grandpa's grave, Baby. Can you tell me where you and Auntie live?" "To home, Baby knows the way, but she brought flowers for grandpa's grave." "I am sorry, dear; but you can come some other day with Auntie, and shell find it." There was a little silence and then the childish voice broke out again : "Has you a gwanpa or papa?" Of course I listened with bated breath for the answer that would tell, in a measure, how near I had come to divining my hero's past aright. "Yes, little one, but like yours, they are in Heaven, I trust." "Is they? How nice!" They were walking among the groves now, and I saw that one of her little hands was clasped in his, while in the other she tightly grasped a bunch of withered grass flowers. "My gwanpa was a sojer, was youra?" she went on. "No. dear, but my father was."

"Oh! I thought , triumphantly, as they passed from hearing and soon from sight. "I was right. No wonder Soldier's Memorial Day meant something to him. It was growing late when I left the city of the dead, and being fatigued, I hailed a passing car. Imagine my pleasurable surprise when I discovered that my vis-a-vis wop none other than the youth whe twice before that day had rivited my attention. It was odd to be sure, how constantly I had had him in my mind, and how utterly unconscious he was of my existence. He was accompanied now by a beautiful young girl, beautiful even to my critical eye and I was very critical when I observed with what a

lover-like look he regarded her. It seemed to me that nothing short of absolute perfection in body and soul would be worthy of hiin. But she was so sweet and graceful, and raised her blue eyes so witchingly to his handsome face, that I fell to dreaming again, weaving such a lovely little romance about him and their future. "All the world loves a lover," you

. know, and the most unronjantie cannot

fail to smile pleasantly, and vaguely at least recall their own youth, when in the presence of lovers. I was just completing the bride's toilet in imagination and had stepped back to note the effect of the w reath and veil, when the car paused and a new passenger entered. She (the new passenger) was evidently

from the country very fleshy, very redfaced, very awkward, very much frightened, and arrayed in a costume ol strange and wonderful shades and combinations. There was no vacant seat, which of course added to her confusion. The handsome miss smiled a pretty, amused smile which made the dimples play enticingly, and revealed a row ol white teeth. Her companion's eyea following her mirthful glance grew grave and troubled. Rising with an "excuse me, Marion," he proffered the frightened stranger his seat. The girl rather dropped than sat down, without so much as a "thank you1 but giggling nervously; the scornful curl of the red lips, and drawing aside of silken drapery beside, not tending in the least to her composure. I thought the gentleman bit his lip and paled a little as he too noted tho look and manner of his late companion. Of course my transit to earth from my late "castle in the air" was speedy, my dream was ended. She was not worthy of him. At the nert crossing I left the car, gallantly assisted by the hard of my nameless hero; and have never seen him since; and I am sorry to confess few, very few, that even reminded me of him, for alas! at the present day, young men who are gentlemen in every sense of the word are like "angels' visits."

A Common Type. He was a large, elderly man, with an expression of discontent in his fa-y, and when the porter had deposited his traveling bag in a section of the sleeping ?ar, the elderly man looked around at the ventilators, then critically at his neighbor across the aisle, and then said to the porter, "Where do we stop for supper?" "There's a dining-car on the train, sir?" was the answer. "Is, hey? What time - is supper ready?" "It is being served now, sir." "Is, hey? H-m! What, time do we get to Albany?" "Nine-fifty." "Connect there with train from Boston?" "Yes, sir." "Wait long?" "About ten minutes." "H-m! What time do we get to Buffalo?" "Six-fifteen to-morrow morning." "What time does the next train leave Buffalo for Cleveland after we got there ?" "Six-forty, sir." The elderly man looked over his spectacles at the porter a moment and then said, "Want my ticket?" "No, sir; the conductor will be along bv-and-by." "H-m! Does that Cleveland train pass through Dunkirk?" "Yes, sir." "What time?"

"How big a town b Dunkirk?" " About ten thousand inhabitants, sir."

Tho elderly man seemed to be annoved about something, and as the

dialogue continued he became more so

quired,

"What time does the train reach

Erie ?" "Three minutes past eight, sir."

"How much bigger is Erie than Dun

kirk? he asked after a p;iuse. "About four times, sir" This concluded the interview.

The porter walked away and the flldorlv crentleman sat down; but he

- - didn't seem to feel easy. He glared at the passenger across the aisle; then he took off his overcoat, sat down and commenced reading the evening paper; but he threw it aside almost immediately, and, rising again, walked gloomily to the rear end of the car and looked out of the window. Then he went beck to his seat and sat there sullenly until the porter came that way again, when he said, "See here, young man, if I take that six-forty train from Buffalo to-morrow morning what connection can I make at Chicago for a Northwestern train that stops at Kenosha, Wisconsin ?" "I don't know, sir' The elderly man eved the porter

fiercelv for a moment through his !

spectacles, then over them, and said sarcastically "You don't know!" "No, sir. You see c "I see yes, I see you don't know! When a passenger asks you a civil question you don't know! Great Scott! Why don't the railroad companies hire wooden dummies and save expenses? Say, do you know beans when you see them ? Do i you know when it's night ? Why don't you travel around with your eyes open?" Say, why don't you just for one day? I would try it once, if I were you!" And as the porter went quietly about his business the elderly man took up his newspaper again. He seemed to feel more contented after that.

war broke out he en 'listed and fought bravely to the end. He had not been home six months when the strange fancy seized him that there was a small

dram secreted in the top of his head,

This is scraped off and saved by the grower, and after he has a vessel full of it it is strained and dried. It takes a great many poppijs to make a pound of opium, and it goes through a number of processes before it is ready for the market. In a liquid state it looks like a dark strawberry jam.

The Komanee of a Pretty Little Albnift

WhOKe Husband Wati a Sharpshooter. During a visit to Albania, one of the

small independent Be.lkan States, I saw

some remarkable deeds of marksman ship and heard a strange story regard

says a correspondent of the Philadel

phia Press. He finally was joersuaaea to visit some cities to show bis skill, and with him he had a young man who used to assist him by holding dilferent objects for the other to shoot at. They iinally reached this place after a very successful tour, and as he was about to give an exhibition at his own birthplace of his powers his helper was found helplessly intoxicated. Among the disappointed audience was a slender and pretty young girl of only 16, who had loved this young man in secret ever since she could remember. He had offered 500 drachmas for a volunteer, man or woman, who would take his man's place, and this young woman stepped out and up to the platform. He accepted her, and she stood without moving or, flinching while tha balls almost grazed her delicate flesh, on their way where he sent them. Her courage captivated him and they were married, and together they visited many countries, and in France made a great furor. They had been married two years, and he had perhaps grown weary of such utter devotion, or he was dazzled by a woman of rank in France, and he neglected his poor little wifeu

and every night this temptress sat in a

box and watched the handsome Albanian, who looked up to her approval alter each feat. These Albanian womn have little mind and no education, uid they liva only on their love, and when that is wrecked they have nothing to fall back on and they die. That was all she could do, and life was not worth the living without his love. So she wrote a poor little misspelled letter, telling him that she was broken hearted and waa going to die, so that he oould be happy with that beautiful woman who loved him and whom he loved; that she did not blame him in the least, she wa only sorry, and that she was but young and could not die unless she died by violence, and so, not to have the sin of suicide on her soul, she was going to let him kill her that night. She would, welcome death from his hand And that evening at the performance, as she held a rose by a short stem, eho waited until too late for him to savo her, and threw herself forward, receiving the ball in her brain and smiling ai; him as she died. They found the poor little note, and he took the dead body of his wife home to her native hills, ami she lies in the sunshine on the slopo near the lake she love in youth. His career was closed. He is now quit gray, and shuns all gay company and has never touched a gun sinco that night in Paris.
