THE BLUE AND rHR GREY.

THE BLUE AND THE GREY.
By the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fed,
Where the blades of the grave-grass culver
Asleep are the ranks of the dead
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Under the one, the Blue,
Under the other, the Grey.
These in the robings OF glory,
Those in the gloom of defeat,
All while the battle blood CORY,
In the dusk of eternity meet;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Under the laurel the Blue, -.rs
Under the willow, the Grey. 49,.
From the silence of sorrowful hours
The desolate mOurners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers .f
Alike for the friend and the foe;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Under the roses, the Blue,
Under the lilies, the Grey.
So, with an equal splendor,
The morning sun-rsysfall,
With touch impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting The Judgment day,
Broidered with gold, the Blue,
Mellowed with gold, the Grey.
So, when the summer calleth
On forest and field of grain,
With an equal murmur talleth
The cooling drip of the rain;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day,
Wet with rain, the Blue,
Wet with rain, the Grey.
Sadly, but not upbraiding,
The generous deed was done;
In the store of the years now fading,
No Drawer battle was won;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day,
Under the blossoms the Blue,
Under the garlands, the Grey.
No more shall the war-cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves OF our dead!
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day,
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Grey.

Among the Big Trees.

Grace Greenwood, in letter from Cali
fornia says: We had day of pure enjoy
ment in the woods. We drove for five or
six miles up the beautiful canyon of San
Lorenzo, a shadowed, winding, mountain
road, such as we find no where but on this
coast, and picniced among the "bg trees"
These are gigantic redwoods, not quite
equal to those of Calaveras or Mariposa,
but wait a few hundred years and you will
see. The largest, named for Fremont, is
two hundred and ten feet in height, and
eighteen feet in diameter. In the hollow
trunk he had his quarters for a while. A
man can ride into this and stable his horse.
| was told that devoted wife once spent
several months with her husband, a lumber
man, and kept couple of boarders. / felt
for her. / know what it is to live in a
trunk. By the way, young fellow pas
senger on the coach told us several aston
ishing stories about some big trees near
Visalia. One, he said, parted into three
about six feet above the ground, and at the
point of separation there was a hollow,
which was always filled with WATERWAYS,
in fact, little lake thirty feet wide and
seventeen feet deep. So you could boat or
bathe in it, if you wished to, or bob for
eels. He described the monstrous hollow
trunk of tree into which he rode on horse
back, and after tring in vain to reach the
concave ceiling with his cane, galloped on
for distance, and then calmly rode. out
through knot-hole-a .providential open
ing for the young man. But I have found
that the only safe way in this country is to
doubt nothing that you hear. have an
impression that shall at some time come
upon the tree with its remarkable water
privileges; perhaps find it utilized into a
railroad tank or babtistry. l half expect
to ride into the same trunk proceeded by
my young fellow-trayeler and TO emerge at
the same knot-hole.

Why We Should Wear Boards.

There are more solid inducements for
wearing the beard than the mere improve
ment of mans personal appearance and
the cultivation of such an aid to the every
day diplomacy of life. The hair of tho
moustache not only absorbs the moisture
and miasma of the fogs, but it strains the
air from dust and the SCOT of our great smo-
ky cities. 1t acts also in the most scienti-
fic manner, by taking heat from the warm
breath as it leaves the chest, and supplying
it to the cold air taken in. 1t is not only a
respirator but with a beard entire we are
supplied with comforter as we'll, and these
are never left at home like the umbrellas
and all such appliances when they are wan
ted
Moffat and Livingstone, the explorers, and
many other travellers say that at night no
wrapper can equal the beard A remarka-
BILE fact is, too, that the beard, like the hair
of the head, protects against the heat of the
sun it acts as the thatch does tc the ice
house but, more than this, it becomes
moist with the perspiration, and then, by
evaporation, cools the skin.
A man who accepts this protection of
Nature, may face the rudest storm and the
hardest winter. He may go from the hot
test room into the coolest air without dread
and we verify believe that he might sleep il
a morass with impunity at least his chance
of escaping the terrible fever would be bet
ter than his beardless companions.

"Well, well, Ketury, who ever did think
alike on some things" returned the old
man. "Let's talk about pleasanter sub
ject. What do you think about our school
ma'am's marrying young Mr.. Hardwich to-
morrow Didn't always tell you that Jes-
sic Moreton was born to be ladyP I may

"You'd great deal better keep your

"What's other folks luck to you, I'd like
to know? There, some ones knocking at

1t was little note, brought by one of the
school-boys under Jessie's care.
"Where's my glassesP can't see as
well as could once. Shove the candle
this way, will you, KeturyP" And fitting
his brass-bowed spectacles upon his nose,
the old man unfolded the note and read, in
Jesses delicate chirography:

Woodbridge. 1t will never haunt your
hearthstone again. Mr.. Hardwiche will
send you the papers tomorrow, to destroy.

not forgotten those golden pippins' nor all
the other Kindness"
"Aha, wife p said the old man smiling
and trying to brush away, unseen, the big
tears that would come, "what do you think
of my investment, now?"
Ketury's reply was neither elegant nor,
strictly speaking, grammatical, but it was
significant. She said simply:
