SENTINEL SONGS.
BY FATHER RYAN.

BY FATHER RYAN.
When sinks the soldier brave,
Dead at the feet of the wrong,
The poet sings-and guards his grave
With sentinels Of song.
Go, songs, he gives command,
Keep faithful watch and true;
The living and the dead of the conquer
ed land
Have no guards save you!
And ballads! mark ye well,
Thrice holy is your trust,
Go out to the field where warriors fell,
And sentinel their dust.
And the songs in stately rhyme,
With softly sounding tread,
March forth-to watch tothe end OF time
Beside the silent dead
And when the feeman's lost,
And hate hath passed away,
Our guard of songs shall keep their post
Around our soldiers clay.
4 thousand dawps may glow
A thousand days may wane-
The deathless songs where the dead lie
low,
True to the last remain
Yea, true they will not yield
TO tYrants or to time,
at every grave and on every field
Where men died death sublime.
Long vigils they will keep,
Obedient to their bard
And they will watch when we shsl!
sleep
Our last and only guard.
What though the yictors say =
"No column shall be built
Above the graves where the men in
gray
Lie mouldering in their guilt.
All let the tyrant curse
The dead he tramples down Z!
Our strong, brave songs in their sweet
sad verse,
Fear not the tyrants lrown.
What though no sculptered shaft
Commemorate our brave?
What though no monument epltaphed
Be built above their grave?
When marble wears away,
And monuments are dust,
The songs that guard our soldiers clay,
Will still fulfil their trust.

A REMARKABLE MAN-The boys
who have found the mysteries of math
ematics terribly tough subject TO
crapple with will envy a Missonriru
who grasps by intuition all the rules of
arithmetic. In description OF this
marvellous mau, given by correspon-
dent of the St Louis Republican, it is
stated that he cannot read or write q
letter or figure, and never had days
education. He cannot explain the
method by which he solves the most
intricate mathematical problems, except
that he has n numeration table which Is
"away on beyond the books" The
correspondent who interviewed him
gave him some very difficult questions
such as might hsve puzzled the most
learned arithmeticans-and he gave
the correct answers almost in mo-
ment. When problem that has never
been answered was presented to him,
he said at once, at cant be told. y.
This queer genius is rude and illiterate;
he travels around the country fixing up
the accounts of tax collectors, farmers
and dealers A wholesale firm in Kan
