Poetry.


%s-When the Fifth Maryland Regiment ar
rived at Boston to aid in celebrating the Gen.
tennial of Bunker Hill, their first act was to de-
pesit superb offering of flowers upon the
monument erected there to commemorate the
soldiers killed in the war for the Unisn. The
following lines were written in connection
Herewith by gifted lady of Boston:
TO THE FIFTH MARYLAND.
'Bove Northern graves, that summe tears have
wet,
In pledge of peace, divided hands have met;
And on the monument that Ger them towers,
Our Southern heroes have laid down their flowers
In token of a sweet regrettng,
These lives, swift setting.
Our sleeping soldiers have their honers won;
But'changeless as the splendor of the sun,
This act through coming centuries shall shine,
As noble impulse Of love divine;
As conquered selves their victories buying
Brauer than dying.
One hundred years ago the patriots fought;
And with their blood this country's freedom
bought; a0E
Martyred, for North and South and East and
West,
RA'"6d "Sd1ts ch.s1sr tbs ssticS enc r'"'h--s
O if the wind blown seeds make Earth's in
crease,
How rich will be your harvesting OF Peace;
For, waited upwards, noble deeds shall bear
Divinest blossoms, making heaven more fair;
Immortal sweetness exhaling
And never paling c. W.

@g- Mr.. Beecher's Christian Union has some
verses by Eliz. S. Turner lis she Bessie Tur-
nsr p telling about young man whs has two
sweethearts:
And one is gay Philadelphia belle,
Of an old First family line;
And one is farmers daughter,
On the banks of the Brandywine.
The Philadelphia BELLS name is Angelina,
and she has much beauty and wealth. Besides,
Her faultless figure is tall
Her manners are fine and her heels are high,
And her waist is wondrous small.
The young man would gladly marry Ange-
lima, if it were not that he knows the farmers
daughter, and is admiringly aware that
Ny Katherine (Kitty for short)
In her cheek displays her line
Of pure red blood, much better than blue,
Of clean descent the sign.
Oh, green and sweet is the growing wheat,
And pure is the breath Of kine
Her father is running dairy farm
On the banks of the Brandywine.
The duplex lover is sore perplexed between
two such charmers, and Miss Turner describes
his feelings in a full column of rhymes. The
point of his perplexty is thus expressed:
Then pity poor young man,
Who scarce knows what to do;
For though Pm in love with country life,
1 love the city, too,
If l marry Angelina
An easy life I'll lead:
But Kitty would keep me up to my best,
And make me man, indeed.
At length, however, Kitty and the Brandy
wine triumphsd over Angelina and Philadel-
phia, and the lover declares
I'll spend the rest of my life,
If only she'll be mine,
As Delaware county dairyman
On the banks of the Brandywine.

The Highest Mountain 5D the
World.

For many years past Mount Everest, in that
portion of the great Himalaya range which oc-
cupies the western part of the strange king
dom Of Nepaul, Immediately north of India,
has been regarded as the highest mountain in
the world. 1t is known to the Nepaulese as
Gaurisankar, but the English name it Everest,
in honor of distinguished officer of the Brit
ish Indian typographical survey. Its snow
capped summit is 20 900, feet, nearly five miles
and a-half above the level of the sea. Ofcourse
no one has ever ascended it to this height, but
its altitude, like that of the other lofty peaks
of the Himalaya, was ascertained by trlangu-
lation; and until the present time 1t has not
been supposed that any higher land existed
on the earth.
If the news be true, however, which has
lately come to US from the more distant east,
there is loftier peak than Mt. Everest in the
great island of Papua of New Guinea. This
vast region, exclusive enough to form six States
as large as New York, is as yet almost wholly
unexplored, except along the coasts. Lying
close to the equator, where the Indian ocean
and the Pacific meet, it is the hOme Of the cas-
sowary and the bird of paradise, a country
grand in its scenery, rich in its vegetation, and
abounding in curious and beautiful forms of
animal life the veritable wonderland OF the
globe. An attempt to explore the unknown

we may believe his published narrative of the
journey, which has just appeared in Lcndon,
ne advanced several hundred miles inland, and
about midway between the northand the south
coast discovered a mountain 32,1S3 feet high,
which he named Mt. Hercules.
The height of this mountan-ovsr six miles
is not the only remarkable thing about it,
Its apparent elevation is but little less than its
actual elevation !; for instead of rising from a
lofty table land like the plateau of Central
Asia, it stands ir comp paratively low plain
only about two thousand feet above the level of
the ocean, and this gives clear rise of more
tnan 10000 feet above the surrounding coun-
try. The traveller standing at its base could
look up and see its snowy peak towing 10000
feet skyward from where he stood. Under such
circumstances the altitude OF d mountain is
appreciated.

WEATHER RHYMEs.-The settlers of New Eng
land preserved the old English rhymes aud
prophecies OF coming weather. Some of them
are curious, if not correct. Many of them are
SO often found true as to be now considered al
most infallible.
When the glow worm lights his lamp,
Then the air is always damp.
II the cock goes Growing to bed,
He's sure to rise with wet head.
When black snails do cross your path,
Then black clouds much moisture hath.
When tho peacock loudly BawIs,
Soon we'll have both rain and squalls.
When you see the gossamer flying,
Then be suro the air is drying.
rosy sunset presages good weather;
A ruddy sunrise bad weather.
bright yellow sky in the evening indicates
wind; pale yellow sky in the evening indi-
Gates wet; neutral gray color in the evening
is favorable sign-in the morning an unfavor-
able one. The clouds, if soft, undeined, and
feathery, betoken fine weather. Deep, unusual
lines in the sky indicate wind or storm. More
delicate tints bespeak fair weather.
4 rainbow in the morning
Gives the shepherd warning.
That is, if the wind be easterly, because it
shows that the rain cloud is approaching the
observer. If at sunrising setting the clouds
appear of lurd red color, extending nearly to
the zenith, it is sure sign Of storms and gales
of wind.
II the moon shows like silver shield,
Be not afraid to reap your feld
But if she rises halOed around,

This adage may also be good sign, provided
the wind be westerly, as it shows the rain
clouds are passing away.
