O. the day it came at last
When the glorious tramp was heard,
And the bows came marching, fifty thousand strong
And We grasped each others hands,
Tho We uttered not word.
As the booming Of our cannon rolled along.
Chorus
On, on, on the boys came marching,
Like grand. majestic sea.
And they dashed away the guard from the heavy
iron door,
And we stood beneath the starry banner free,
o, the feeblest heart grew strong.
And the mos. respondent sure,
When heard the thrilling sound we loved SO well
For we knew that want and wee,
We no longer should endure,
When the hosts of Freedom reached our prison wall
Chorus
O the war is oyer now.
And we re safe al home again.
And the cause we starved and suffer i for is won.
BHt We never can forget,
Mid cur woe and mid our pain.
How the glorious Union boys came tramping on.

IDENTIrY.-sIf l lose the blade
of my knife" asked college student
Of the Professor of Logic, ''and get a
new blade put into it, is it still the same
knife p Certainly" replied the Pro-
fessor. ''If l then lose the handle, y
queried the student, "and get new one
fitted to the blade, ''is it still the same
knife p ''Unquestionably,'' replied
the Professor, "the same knife" eff
somebody finds the old blade and the
old handle,' continued the student,
''and puts them together, what knife is
that!'' ''That question is irrelevant to
discussion as to the identity Of the
knife under consideration it is intro
ducing a side issue-a course to be
avoided in logic"

STATE OF MATRIMONIAL curious
lady is anxious to know the whereabouts
of the state Of matrimony. In an
swer we say it is one Of the united
states. 1t is bounded by hugging and
kissing on side, and babies and children
on the other. Its chief products are
population, broomsticks, and staying
out o nights. 1t was discovered by
Adam and Eve while trying to find
northwest passage out of Paradise.
The climate is rather sultry you pass
the tropics of housekeeping, when
squally weather sets in, with sufficient
power to keep all hands as cool as
cucumbers. For the principal roads
leading to this interesting state, consult
the first pair Of blue eyes you run
AGAINST.

Remarkable Organic Remains.

The Montana Post relates the fol-
lowing in regard to the discovery of
remarkable organic remains in Montana
Territory: "On Meagher's Bar, oppo-
site Nevada, have been discovered fossils
that unmistakably prove that this part
of the world was at one time inhabited
by race of human beings who stood,
in maturity, from ten to twelve feet
high; and by species Of quadrupeds
at least twice as large as the Asiatic
elephant. They are imbedded about
eighteen feet in what might be termed
close diluvial deposit, and what the
con6guration of the country indicates
was once the eddy of river. AS an
evidence of the former, We now have
before US the jawbone-anatomically
termed the inferior maxillary-of a
biped, which is almost double the size
of an ordinary human jawbone. From
point to point of the condyles-the
upper projection, where the junction is
made with the corresponding parts
above-this fossil measures five inches.
1t is in perfect state of preservation,
so perfect, that, had it been of ordinary
size, one would suppose that its owner
had not made his or her exit from this
vale of tears over fifteen or twenty
years ago. The enamel of the teeth
still remains bright and uninjured by
the action of fire, or water, or air. Not
tooth is lost. They comprise six
grinders or molars (the usual number),
and ten others, being sixteen in all.
They have been much worn by the labor
of mastication, which fact proves that
this American Goliah did not cease to
use them until they had prepared for
his stomach the food of many years,
perhaps not until the other functions
of his physical organization had weak
ened from old age, when the utility
of the teeth ceased, though decay had
not marked them by single perforation.
The fact is, also, a good conjectural
argument that this being belonged to a
race similar in their habits to the exist
ing tribes of natives who, even in their
old age, are notable for the fine state
of their teeth. The jawbone is the only
portion of the remains we have seen,
but ribs and other bones near the spot,
which undoubtedly belong to the same
individual, as they are all of the pro-
portionate size. 1t has been estimated
by members of the medical fraternity
here, that the hight of this biped could
not have been less than ten and half,
and might have reached twelve feet y

WRITERS OF THE SEVENTEENTH
CENTURY.-The writers were few and
intellectual and they addressed them
selves to learned, or, at least, to studious
and diligent readers. The structure
of their language is, in itself,an evidence
that they counted upon another frame
Of mind, and different pace and speed
In reading, from that which can alone
be looked to by the writers of the pres
ent day. Their books were net written
to be snatched up, run through, talked
over and forgotten; and their diction,
therefore, was not such as lent wings to
haste and impatience, making everything
so clear that he who ran or flew mi ght
read. Rather, it was so constructed as
to detain the reader over what was
pregnant and profound, and compel him
to that brooding and prolific posture
of the mind by which, if he had wings,
they might help him to some more genial
and profitable employment than that
of running like an ostrich through
desert.-Taylor's Notes on Life.
