THE SAILORS GRAVE-A SONG


JOHN NEAL.
RATTLE OF THE HORNET AND WASP.
The far wide waters are cold and dark,
And they swim as still around our bark,
And as smooth, as the heavens above Us:
And the watery tide is as distant, too,
AS the air tide with its sleepy blue:
The battle is near, and momeais few
Let us think OF the hearts that love us
Those garands of froth around us strown,
On tho warrior. wave by The tempest thrown
Are wreaths for the ocean slaughter.
Round the white foam is the green weed twined,
Tba, the sea maid wears, 81 the shipwrecked find
Plucked by the storm, and wove in the wind'
On wrecks that the red wave brought her.
Along on the deck our captain strobe,
With folded arms as our bold ship rode
In the breathless calm that bound her.
"About" was heard-and the summons spend
A breeze came fresh, and our canvass spread;
We rushed in light, and the pillows fed
And the waves grew rough around her.
"Cheer, boys! cheer" was the captains cry:
smile was in his proud black eye,
And we peaed anthem loudly:
We neared the chase-and we coolly came
Along by her side, where we talked in dame
Our fierce foe hear proud acclaim.
And shouted to as proudly.
Our broadsdes poured, and they swept her deck:
In mercy, then, DER the shattered wreck,
Flew our balls TO the dark blue water:
The red. cross flashed, but its day was Ger
1t swung like pail; all bathed in gore,
On the splntered mast, where it waved before,
The meteor>hag of slaughter.
Our foe still fought, for our foe were brave,
Let the sailors tomb be the heavng wave
That sees his flag surrender
Our boarders called and our captain stood
On that hostile deck-and that deck ran blood,
And the tide around grew red with the food
And dimmed was the cross flags splendor.
Tha, flag went down! and the dirge wind blew,
And over that ship the Eagle flew,
While she sank in the whrling wave
The waters heaved-and the bugle was blown
That reached the skies, and a shout was thrown
And a gun was fired and our foo went down
In pomp, to the seaman's grave.
We lost not a man till that pail flag reeled,
Till the bugle sung, by the last breath pealed
or our proudly sinking foe
o, then leaped through the blood tagged spray,
And grappled again-but not to Stay;
Brave hearts went down with their foes that day
And now sleep in their arms below

BREAD FOR HORSES.

, Drouosition has been made to the Minister of War

nooOt of forage necessary for the army. This gen.
,.non proposes to make sort of bread three fourhs

:. are 10 be fed in place of oats. The average guam
ir Of oats for horse per day, M. Longchamp es,i-
nate, 10 be o lbs. costing about ID sous. lie pro
o.ps to replace this food by 10 lbs. of the bread
made with oats and potatoes, the price of which will
h. only sous, leaving saving of s sous day. AS
sqc are $4,000 horses in the army, saving would
arise on he whole of the cavalry of $50 900 f
yoor NJ Longchamp considers this food to be more
nutritious than the food generally given to horses, for
eat portion Of tho oats taken by horse is imperfect
" masticaed, and therefore the nutrtve qualities arc
allowed to remain latent. Heat and moisture, he de
res are necessary to bring forth fully the qualities
cthe fecua of oats, and this can be produced most
eHectuaIy by subjectng it to the heat of oven,
saHer having been moistened and well mixed up.
fakes of this kind have been used in Holland with

worth about 80 r., whilst one Of potatoes produces

planted with potatoes, five times greater quantity of
cattle could be bred in France. BY this means butch

reach of the generality of the inhabitants of the king
