HE SLEEPS WHERE HE FELL.

He sleeps where he fell, mid the battles roar,
With his comrades true and brave;
And his noble form we shall see no moro
IL rests in hero's grave;
Where the rebel foe in his might came FORTH
With all his power and pride;
And our gallant men from tho rugged North
Like patriots fought md died.
He sleeps near the hill whore bright flowers grow,
In the widest woodland shade
Where the valley stream in tho dell below,
With an echo fills tho Elade
Where the boasting line. of the traitor South
Filed up DER the grassy banks,
Till the bursting shells from our cannon's mouth
Flung death in their broken ranks.
lie sleeps meath the sod where praycrfuly knclt
While the enemy round me stood,
AS took from his corpse his battle-belt
Still wet with his hearts warm blood
And the Summer day closed its light on earth,
And my soul grew sad with pain,
As they bore me away with oaths and mirth,
Ger piles of the Bleeding slain
He slecps where the blest of our glorious dead
Were left on the sacred land;
Where the daring deeds ere his spirit fed,
He led with a bold command
He sleeps-yes he sleeps, undisturbed by war,
Though tyrants tramp o'er his breast;
For, with those who sumbor in glory afar,
He takes nn immortal rest

Is THERE ANYTHING IN 1T ?-The locusts
which have made their appearance here this
season, have the letter w clearly marked
upon the end of each wing. IN the year
1900 they came with the same significant
initial, In 1917 they had the letter or

there anything in it ? There are many per-
sons who have the belief that these letters
on the wings Of the locust, convey meaning
and warning. According to divine reve-
lation, the focust3 were sent as a curse or

their wings signifies war, and peace, then

Lake Superior is the largest body of fresh
water in tho world. 1t has an area of thir.
ty-two thousand square mler, aud mean
depth of 1000 feet. 1t is apparently fed by
a few insignificant streams, the largest Of
which are the St. Louis and the Ontonagon.
Lake Michigan has an area of "a, 900 miles,
ana mean depth of 300 feet. This lake
only receives . few streams, and ye. lake
Michigan furnishes a large proportion of
the current that fows over the St. Lawrence
into the ocean. These great lakes must get
supplies from snbterrancan sources. It is
well known that large rivers on the western
plains suddenly disappear through fssures
and chasms, never again to re-appear on the
