THE SOLDIERS GRAVE.
BY CLARA FORBES.

Pass on, pass on, with solemn tread,
We've paid the last rites to the honored dead !;
With martial music we laid him low,
Where the ivy vine aud the cypress grow.
No more will the sound of his voice be heard,
No more to his sideale sword he'll grid;
For hushed is the voiee-the hands are at rest,
And peacefully laid on the tranquil breast
.Nomore will he lead his comrades brave,
In the heat of battle his country to save;
The banner he firmly held in his hand
Now shrouds his corpse in his native land.
The winds requium will sigh Ger his grave,
The cypress in sadness shall over him wave;
The ground that was bathed with the crimson
,..,,.,, tide, ..s. ., ~ ,.,-
Shall mark the spot where the hero died,
The country he loved SO fOndly and we'll,
May mark the spot where the conqueror fell ;
No monument raised, though costly it be-,
Should take the place of that cypress tree.
Farewell, farewell, to our Somrade brave,
He's laid to rest in an honored grave;
His deeds of glory shall win name
The laurel wreath hero's fame.

nENTISTRY
Talking.

The majority of people nowadays,
seem to give very little consideration to
the use of their tongues. Stammering
is very common, and this is occasioned
in very many cases by slovenly and
careless way of talking. Rapid and i'm.
perfect utterance takes the place of pure
and careful articulation; it is rather bet
ter to be a Cockney, and pronounce
words clearly, than to clip them short,
as is the almost universal custom. Our
countrymen have discovered, doubtless,
that talking, like eating, takes time, and
are consequently indispoSed to give much
of it TO either duty. For example, what
does this word mean: "jelluk ?" 1t is
popular vehicle Of comparison, but
what sense is there in it ?-who would
ever recognize, but for the sequence; the
phrase just like" And yet very many
persons who know better will very grave.
ly assert that this or that is 'jelluk" this.
So also the idiom "sezzi" or rather
"s'zi" (for "says I'D; there never was q
poor adverb so abused before. Shorn
of all its proportions it passes, like a
shinplaSter, for any value that may be
attached to it. We cannot, of course,
be all linguists and elocutionistS, but we
may at least give some slight attention
to the organs of speech and use them as
nature and grammarians intended they
should be used. Tongues are not made
merely to be wet with fluids; they are
sometimes used for imparting intelligi.
BILE sounds.

The International Agricultural
Exhibition at Hamburg. s

We have heretofore called attention
to the projeeed international iagricultur-
al exhibition which is to take place in
the free city of Hamburg, Germany,
during the present year. We are as.
sured that, in this exhibition, agricultur-
al and horticultural implements and ma
chinery of every description will receive
full attention on the part of the judges,
and medals awarded for the best artic-
les exhibited. As far as space and 10.
cality will permit, they will be offered an
opportunity to show their capacity -

description, as far as extraordinary OBJ
jects in growth and manufacture are
concerned, will also be acknowledged by

New York, in connection with Mr..
Theodore Heinrich Menke of Hamburg,
whose talents, knowledge, and expe-

of all the deeply rooted prejudices of

Nor let the sheet grow pale;
Be careful of the monkey looks

We would not cast q Slur on those

The gaping world is fed by US

Nor deem our fare too dear.

Dew.

On no subject have there been strang-
er and more incorrect notions than on
the nature and origin of dew. Even
within two hundred years it has been
supposed that the dew was product of
the plants. 1t was supposed to return
in the morning to its source, and it has
been confidently affirmed that if dew
were put in an egg,Shell and placed at
the foot of ladder, it would carry the
shell to the top of the ladder, and leave
it there as it assembled. Even at the
present day the commonness of the
phrase, falling dew, shows how erroneous
are the preyalent ,snations, The -dAw
