THE COURIER.

THE MODERN JUGGERNAUT.
At length the signs of spring appear,
The sun we humbly greet,
And daily walk abroad in fear
The cyclist owns the street.
And doubly thankful should we be,
When daily wandering ceases,
At fall of eve, if we should see
Our loved ones not in pieces.
The Pedestrian.
LITERARY NOTE.
According to Gonoral Josopb Whoolor,
tho cuBtom of Botting upurt u dny for
docoratin tho Bold in ra' grnvcB hnd its
origin nmong tbo women of his own
Btuto of Alnbatnu. Unlikotho mon, tboy
would not pormit thoir doud "quiotly to
bocomo a part of gonorul history." Un
der tho titlo, Tho Mo-nory of Our Fight
ing Men, Gonoral Whoolor contributes
to Tho Saturday Evoning Poet of May
27 a strong paper on tho history and
signitlcanco of Momorial Day. Gonoral
Corbin, of thoG.A. R., bIbo treats a aim
ilar topic, but from a different point of
view.
Among tho fiction in this number !b
Tho Crump's Crook Tanglo, a Decora
tion Day Btory by John Habborton. It
is ono of tho clovoroat of Mr. llnbborton's
clovor taloa of plain pooplo.
Another foaturo of tho Decoration
Day number of tho Post ib a poem by
Frank L. Stanton, that ib a notablo
tributoto "Tiro Fallen of tho Fight:"
Oh, the story and the glory of the fallen of
the fight!
Does the clamor of the captains reach their
ranks all ghostly white?
Nay they rest with rusting blades,
All the glory-starred brigades.
And the peace of God is on them in the
splendor of the light.
NATIONAL EMI3LEM.

fallen under tho ecstatic spoil of eo-call-od
"brotherhood' to tho oxtont of offer

suggestion for a itower "most suitablo

StatCB of America." The an swore,
numboring sotno hundreds, aro woird
and wonderful, and although it may bo
unkind to expatiate too freely on tho
same, yet I cannot refrain from quoting
a fow of the answers, invariably com
plimentary, but typically English.
Dandelion Signifies "dent do lion,"
tooth of a lion not the whole lion but
a bit of him.
The CrocUB Ab the Americans are
givon to crow or boast, having large
idea? and to cubs or curso much.

Tho Anemone Any money.
Tho MarigoldIJocauBo of tho supply

Tho Mushroom Bccausoof his rapid
growth and his liking for a mysterious
refection called 4,mush."
And so tho answers go on, and if it
were not for my intense rcBpect, owing
to circumstances, toward our morothan
"cousins,'' I should feel moro inclined
to print more of these punning gueeseB,
