It's dawn:
The summons to battle is sounding,
We leap to our saddles--are bounding
Along, with our bright sabres drawn,
In the mists of the dawn
While the crown of the ridge we essay,
Where the voice of the trumpet is calling
To the shock Of the Blue and the Gray,
In the battle appalling.
IT'S noon
Now flercely the battle is raging,
Onward, still onward, engaging,
We press to the centre full soon,
In the glare of the noon;-
While he whom we promptly obey,
Rides CALAMITY down on our lines,
In the shock of the Blue and the Gray,
Mid the oaks and the pines.
IT'S eyen
The smoke of the battle is lying,
Like pail DER the dead and the dying,
Where the foe, still undaunted, is driven
AT the gray of the even =
While out on the ridge where they lay,
A shadow of grandeur and glory
Goes up from the ranks Of the Gray,
To live in all story
IT'S night:
The stars have come out in their splendor,
In glory, not shame, they surrender
The brave and the gallant in fight,
With whom 1t is night -
But only such night as the day
Shall flood with more glorious bars

WHAT DIR. HAYES THINKS OF CAP
TAIN HALLS EXPEDITION.-Dr. Hayes,
the welI-known Arctic explorer, expresses
the opinion that the Polaris was unfit for
sea service, and that there was no dscip-
line on board her, but that Captain Hall
proved that Smiths sound is nayigable,
and is the true passage to the Polar sea,
which he seems to have reached though
driven back by drifting ice fields or gales
of wind. Hayes can't understand why
the ship, when SO near Northumberland,
should be drawn up on the ice and dis
charged of cargo upon it. He thinks there
was disscnsion on board, and that it looks as
though the party cut off from the ship had
been determined to leave her but Capt.
Hall has done glorious thing; he has
gone further north with a ship than any
human being ever did before, although
others have gone as far in sledges. and the
Polaris was 2l9 miles further north than
Kane's ship. Hayes says it looks as if
Hall was killed by one Of his men in a
mutiny, for he has never known of any one
dying ins that region from apoplexy, and
Hall did not look like an apopletic man.
DIR. Hayes believes that the rest of the
crew are yet alive, and that the Polaris will
return by September.

PRAYER.

Praying 10 Thee our wills do not require
That Thou, the Lord who doest all things well
Guiding thy world by laws immutable,
Shouldst, when some wishes of our hearts
su2pire
Thee-ward in faith, grant unto the desire
OF each man that which suits his own small
need
Uest others wishes fail if he succeed,
Being contrary; but lower will to higher
Gan in proud meekness and strong helpessness
Yield, and own Law as girding Destiny:
Thou, setting us within fixed bounds didst give
Great passive strength to human littleness,
Only we cry to Thee for sympathy
If Thou wilt loDe us, we can bear and live.

THE Rappahannock agricu ltura and po-
biological club met at White Oak on Fri
day last. The subject, "Would it pay to
raise pork, !" was long and ably discussed,
theory and practice being brought face to
face. 1t was finally conceded that it did
not pay to raise pork for the market, and
that the most economical way to raise it
for home consumption was to run out
thrifty shoats in the spring on good clover
lot, it then taking but little corn to fatten
them in the fall. The subject decided for
next meeting was, ''The best way of har-
vesting wheat" The club will hereafter
meet at the residence of Captain Ellis.

In IS curious to notice how loosely
men talk. 1t is very common thing to
say that there is more drinking in Maine
under the prohibitory law than before its
passage. Congressman Frye of that state
says from his own personal observation,
that it is not true; that the consumption
Intoxicating liquors to-day in Maine is not
one-fourth what it was twenty years ago !;
that in the rural districts the sale and use
have almost entirely ceased that the law
of itself has created temperance senti-
ment which is marvellous, and to which
opposition is powerless. This statement is
said to be backed up by the entire Congress
sional delegation. We give it for what it
is worth. but the advocates of the law have,
of course, right to be heard. Nobody,
however, pretends that no alcohol is sold
for beverage in Maine. 1t is a matter OF
comparisons Y. Tribune.

The Smallest Engine In the world

Mr.. d. A. A.. Buck. jeweler, of Wor-
cester, has built the smallest engine in the
world. 1t is made of gold and silver, and
fastened together with screws, the largest
of which is one-eishtieth of an inch in size.
The engine, boiler, governor, and pumps
stand in a space seven-sixteenths of an
inch square, and are fve-eighths of an
inch high. Perhaps a better idea of it's
smallness will be conveyed by saying that
the whole affair may be completely covered
with common tailors' thimble. The en-
CINE alone weighs but fifteen grains, and
yet every part is complete, as may be seen
by a microscopic examination; and it may
be set in motion by filling the boiler with
water and applying heat, being supplied
with all valves, ETC., to be found upon an
ordinary upright engine. To attempt an
estimate of its power would seem like
rather small business but for guess, a
span ofwell-led fleas would furnish more
force if they were properly harnessed and
shod. The little thing would tug away
several minutes if encouraged by drop
of water heated by the application of a
burnt finger.
