August meteors.

he clambered up through the scuttle hole.
"You'd have seen reason enough if you
had been up here with me for the last two
hours" said the astronomer. s'Why, the
earth has been undergoing regular bom-
bardment. It's not over yet. Look at
that fellow, how he skins You would
call it shooting star. Well. there's as
much reason for calling it celestial shell.
If those British artillerists could give their
projectiles velocity like that, they might
plant their guns on the Welsh mountains
and shell every troublesome tenant in Ire
land out of his hut. That meteorold was
moving twenty or thirty miles a second:
yet it could not get through the bomb-proof
that protects the earth.''
"Where is the bomb-proof ?''
why right under your nose; all around
you; its the atmosphere, When the me-
teoroids strike the air that surrounds the
earth the heat produced in consequence of
their tremendous velocity runs up a million
degrees or more a second. and in twink
ling they are changed to vapor. IF they
could get through the atmosphere they
would make it lively for u.s. No man

The Georgia Volunteer.

Far up the mountain side
My wandering footsteps led:
The moss lay thick beneath my feet,
The pine sighed overhead. ~
The trace of a dismantled fort
Lay in the forest wave,
And in tn e shadow, near my path,
I saw soldiers grave.
The bramble wrestled with the weed
Upon the lowly mound;
The simple head-board, rudely writ,
Had rotted to the ground;
raised it with reverent hand,
From dust its words to clear;
But time had blOtted all but these:
"a Georgia Volunteer"
Isaw the toad and scaly snake :.
= From tangled covert start, .
And hide themselves among the weeds
Above the dead mans heart;
But undisturbed in sleep profound,
Unheeding these he lay,
His coffin but the mountain soil,
His shroud, Confederate gray.
heard the Shenandoah roll
Along the vale below:
I saw the Aleghanies rise
Toward the realms of snow,
The "Valey Campaign rose to mind
Its leaders name-vand then
KNEW the sleeper had been one
OF Stonewali Jackson'S men.
Yet whence he came what lips Shall say?
What tongues shall ever tell
What desolate hearths and hearts
Have been because he fell?
What sad-eyed maiden braids her hair,
Her hair which he held dear,
One lock of which perchance lies with
The Georgia Volunteer"
What mother. with long watching eyes
And white lips, cold and dumb,
Waits with appealing patience for
Her darling boy to come?
Her boy, whose mountain grave swells up,
But one of many scar
Cut on the face of our fair land
By hoary-handed war.
What fights he fought. what wounds he bore,
Are all unknown to fame.
Remember, on his lonely grave
There is not cen a name!
That he fought well and bravely, too,
And never knew a fear
We know else hehad never been
ga Georgia Volunteer"
He sleeps-what need to question now
If he were wrong or right;
He knows ere this whose cause is Just
In God the Fathers sight
He wields no War-like weapon now,
Returns no foemans thrust
Who bur a coward would revile
an honest soldiers dust?
Roll, Shenandoah, proudly roll
Adown the rocky glen;
Above thee lies the grave of one
OF StoneWall Jackson's men!
Beneath the cedar and the pine.
In solitude austere,
Unknown, unnamed, forgotten lies
