The CONQUERED BANNER.
BY FATHER RYAN,

Furl that Banner, for tits weary,
Round the staff tits dropping dreary;
Furl IL, fold it, IL is best;
For there's not man to wave II.
For there's not a sword to save 1t,
And there's not one lett to lave 1t
In the blood which heroes gave 1t:
And its Toes now scorn and brave it;
Furl 1T, hide it-let 1t rest.
Take that Banner down, it's tattered!
Broken is its staff and shattered
And the V tliant hosts are scattered,
Over whom it floated high.
Oh tits hard for us TO told 1t;
Hard TO think there's none 10 hold II,
II lrd that those who once unrolled II,
Now must turl il with sigh.
Furl that banner, turl it sadly,
Once ten thousand hailed IL gladly,
And ten thousand wildly, msdly,
Swore IL should forever wave!
SwOre that foemen's sword should never
Hearts Ike theirs entwiued discover;
And that flag should float forever
O'er their freedom, or their grave!
Furl It.! for the hands that grasped 1t,
And the hands that fondly clasped IL.
Cold and dead are lying lowl
And that amer, it is trailing!
While around it sounds the wailing
Gifts people in their woe.
For, though conquered, they adore 1t.
Love the cold, dead hands that bore it,
Weep for those that fell before it!
Pardon those who trailed and tore IL!
But, oh wildly they deplore it!
Now who furl and hold II so.
Furl that Banneri true tits CORY,
Yet tits wreathed around with glory,
Aud twill live in song and story,
Though its folds are In the dust;
For It's fame on bright-s pages,
Penned by poets and by sages,
FJrl its folds though now we must,
Furl that Banner, softly, slowly,
Treat it gently, IL is holy,
Fnr 1t droops above the dead.
Touch IL not, unfold IL never,
Let 10 droop there, furled forever,
For its peoples hopes are fed!

ton JoprnaI of Chemistry.

Boston Journal of Chemistry.
No intelligent person can doubt tna'
the free use OF ripe fruit is conducive &c
health. On the other hand, 1t Is OBVIOUS
that fruits as as exclusive article OF diet
do not meet all the wants o: the system
The chemistry of the apple, the pear tne

stood, and il can be stated how mucn nu-

all the questions connected w'th the suo-
| iect OF the healthfulness OF fruit. Besides
furnishing nutriment, fruit eAerts oIher
influences upon the animal economy OF
the highest importance. The ACIDS OF
fruit are not properly nutritlve substances,
but they produce physiological effects

Fruits are largely composed OF water,
and this fluid has come 10 them through
extraordinary channels. The tiny root
fibres have collected it in the dark earth,
and by vital action it has been iorced
through the most minute tubes, until 1t is
finally deposited in the fruit cells. 30
far as we know, the water undergoe8 no
notifications; it IS water In the soil, ana
it Is the same in its wonderful associations
In fruits. 1t however holds saccharine
elements and other principals which
modify its physical appearance and taste.
The great amount of water contained In
fruits is in itself an advantage,
as it aids in cleaning the
alimentary canal and the other
excretory ducts and thus promotes
healthy action.
Fruits are capable of sustaining life tor
long periods, but the lack of the nitro
geneous elements detracts from their
strengthening power, and any one llv-
ing exclusively upon them would not be
able to labor effectively. We have heard
OF the man who roWed his boat along the

alone by whortleberries; but If the voyage
had lasted SIX months, or even three, his

Keeping Celery In Water.

Celery can be perfectly kept during
the winter in trenches; in fact, L have
often taken it ont in fine condition while
spading up my garden Tor spring plant
ing. But it is often not so convenient to
get at it IN the middle OF winter, with
the surface OF the ground as hard as ada
msnt. A much more convenient way OF
storing small quantity is as fellows !:
Knock out both heads of barrel, and
sink it about three-quarters in the ground
vertically; Int the celery carefully, and
place it IN the barrel in an upright pos
ition, packing the roots as closelytogeth' r
as possible. Draw up the earth Ia Il bank
around the outside OF one-tourth OF the
barrel that is above ground, to keep out
frost; throw little light litter over the
celery. and increase the covering OF litter
AS cold weather increases. Finally, before
the snow falls, put over the whole any
convenient covering of boards, or carpet,
oilcloth, &c, to keep out snow and ram.
In mid winter, it will be found very easy
matter to 90 out, lift your board or carpet,
pull out handfufor two OF the ht.e
tree from snow or ice), take up what
celery you wish, and replace the litter
and covering. A barrel will hold from
sixty to evenly plsnts.-Co'@at1V
