Before taking leave of this subject, res
pectfully invite your attention TO some fitting

have fallen in Mexico. The New York
troops have been found in the thckcst Of the

the city of Mexico. 1t is one of the Offices
of Christian civilization TO cultivate kindly
and delicate regard for the remains of de-

are felt as we linger in silence among the
resting places Of the dead.
1t has been suggested that legislation IL

not impossible, to identify the bodies of sol

Also, in 'hnbbubbubberous,'
The Us are thick as bees.

But e'S there are in 'edse ,

There's but one p in peace.
Some judges Judge the English tongue,
But'kill il with breath;
With wind and words they sentence som
Fine sentences 10 death.
A sea horse is sea horse, whcn
You see him in the sea;
But when YOU see him in a bay,
A bay horse then is he.
