LINES
ygested by the Presentation to the Legislature
he Banners of the Second and Third Regiment
be Indiana Volunteers.
BY MRS. SARAH T. BOLTON.
They had gathered, they had gathered.
Alta proud and massive dome,
From many cheerful heart-stone,
From many a quiet home;
The gay, the young, the beautiful,
The old, with hoary hair,
The gallant and the talented,
Had gathered, gathered there,
There were bright eyes, softly beaming,
There were gems and raven curls,
And the silvery sounding voices
OF happy hearted girls;
There were faces sad and solemn,
There were aspects high and proud,
For the gravest and the nobIest
Met and mingled in the crowd.
Had they come to see pageant,
OF the merry olden time,
That the quaint and ancient poets
Loved TO chronicle in rhyme!
Had they come to see the triumph
Of the pain er's deathless art!
Had they come to hear an actor
Tell story of the heart!
What means that sudden silence,
Broken only by sigh!
Why does the tear-drop tremble,
In the light ofbeauty's eye!
Why does that darkling shadow
Gather over manhood's brow!
Why does the young lip culver,
And the cheek grow pallid now!
They are gazing at old banners:
Faded, soied and tattered things,
With their stripes, all rent and trailing,
Like an eagles broken wing;
They are gazing long and sadly,
On each little crimson stain,
They are reading, there, the record,
OF the gallant, gallant slain.
They are reading Of the conflict,
Where the flashing sabre cleaned;
tic lSdNCi Du1lGlS EdtLl6Qi
Where the crimson lfe-tide streamed,
They are reading of young KINDER,
How he fought, and how he fell
Oh, mournful, mournful story,
Can those tattered banners tell.
They can tell of noble TseGART;
OF his high and holy trust,
When his dying words were uttered
''On, on, our cause is JUST
They can tell of gallant WALKER;
Truest, bravest of the brave,
Falling with a soldiers laureis;
Sleeping in soldiers grave.
They can tell of young hearts broken;
They can tell of woman's tears;
They can tell how death has wasted
All the boarded love of years;
They can tell the sneering sceptic
That the spirit of our sires,
Dwelleth still in freedoms temple,
Toprotect our aitar-tires.
Where the lannon's voice was loudest;
Where the bodest deeds were wrought;
Where the good, the true, lay dying;
Where the noblest, bravest fought,
Ever foremost with the daring;
Ever, in the thickest fight,
DID those hope-insp'ring banners
Meet the tainting soldiers sight.
And he hailed them. as the sailor
Halls the beacon from the mast,
When his gallant bark is struggling
With the fury of the blast;
He hailed them, as the wanderer
Halls the beaming OF star,
That reminds him OF his childhood,
And his quiet home afar.
Keep them. keep them! Indiana!
Lay them on thy proudest shrine;
For the dim, the distant future,
No heller gift is thine.
Thy fair, thy peerless, daughters
Wrought those stars of cleaning gold;
And thy noble sons fought bravely =.
Beneath their shadowy fold.
Wreath the cypress with the laurel;
Bind each worn and faded shred;
They are proud but sad mementos
Or thy gallant, gallant dead.

GIANTS OF OLDzN TIME.-In one of his recent lee
lures Professor Siliman the younger alluded the
discovery of the skeleton OF an enormous lizard
uring upwards ofeight feet. From this fact the Pro-
lessor inferred living specimen Of such gigantic
gnitude has been found. that the species of which
tits the representative has greatly degenerated The
verify of the position he rather singularly endeavors
enforce by aIluson to the well known existence
Of giants in olden timas.
The following list furnishes the data on which this
singular data is based:
The giant exhibited at Rouen in 1885, the Professor
said measured over ls feet.
Coropius saw girl who was ten feet high.
The body of Grostes was eleven and half fee
high.
The giant Galbara, brought from Arabia tc
Rome, under Claudius Caesar, was near ten fee
high.
Euenman, who lived in the time of Eugene ii.
measured eleven feet and half
The Cavalier Scrog, in his voyage to the Peak o.
Teneiffe: found in one of the caverns of that
tain, the head of Gunuch which had eighty teeth
and it was supposed that his body was less than
fifteen feet high.
The giant Ferragus, slain by orlando, nephew to
Charemange, was eighteen feet high.
In 1914, near St. Germain, was found the tomb OIL
the giant Isorent, who was no less than twenty feet
higl.
In $780, near RouerI, was found the skeleton whose
skull held bushel OF corn, and whose body mus
have been eighteen feet long.
Piatorous saw, at Lucerne, the human bones of a
subject nineteen feet long,
The giant Bacart was twenty two and half feet
high his thigh bones were found in 1903, near the
banks OF the river Moder
In 1853, castle in Dauphine. a tomb was
found thirty feet long, twenty wide and eight feet hi
on which was cut on grey stone, the words, "Kea-
toluchus Rex" The skeleton was found entire
five and half feet long, ten feet the
shoulders, and five deep from the breast bone the
back.
Near Mazarno, in Sicily, in 1916 was found the
skeleton Of giant thirty feet high. His head wa;
the size of hogs head, and each of his teeth wegeo
five ounces.
Near Paemo, in Sicily, in 1913, found the
skeleton of giant thirty feet long, and another thir
" three feet high in 1850.
We have no doubt that there were giants in thos,
days" and perhaps Nature was more prolific in pro
ducing them than present. But the history of gi
ants during the olden time, is not more remarkably
than that OF dwarfs. Large men and small are com
mon nowadays.
