Outdoor Safety.

The fear Of the weather has sent mul.
titudes to the grave who otherwise might
have lived in health many years longer
The fierce north wind and the furious
snow storm kill comparatively few, while
hot winter rooms and crisping summer
suns have countless hecatombs Of human
victims to attest their power. Except
10 localities where malignant miasmas
prevail, and that only in warm weather,
outdoor life is the healthiest and happi-
est, from the tropics to the poles. The
general fact speaks for itself, that persons
who are out of doors most take cold

nearly one-half Of the adult deaths are
from diseases Of the air passages. These
ailments arise from taking cold ii some
way or another; and surely the reader

BY REV. 9. MILLER HAaEMAN,o OF PRINCETON.
Oh, white-tented army in silent srrsyl
From the fields where ye fought come forth on
this dayl
The winds watt their fragrance to you;
We gather to-day from all parts Of our land,
From the tall peaks Of Maine to the far Aztec

With the hag overhead and with flowers in the
hand,
For the graves Of the gray and the blusi
Come hither, oh mother, whose last earthly
joy
Went out long ago with your beautiful boy,
Your brave, handsome darling in blue.
Come hither and think in your desolate heart.
Of the grief Of your. country your grief is a
part;
Aye, think how he fell-os the hot tear-drops
START
For freedom, for homo and for youi
Come hither, oh maiden, who saw'st him that
day
Go BY with the uniformed troops on his way,
To come back-but, alas. not in bluel
Come hither and think by his cold, dreamless
bed
OF the column thy lover for liberty led,
Think how truly the soul Of the patriot dead
Is welded to love and to you'll
Come hithsr. ye comrades. who stood by his
side
On that terrible day in the South whom he died
With his face to the foe that he slew.
Come stand once again by thst soldier unseen,
A he stood in the battle. your hearts blood
between,
And the Angel of Death, from yeur bosoms to
screen
The shaft that had else been for youi j,
Come hither. my sosntrymen, come one and

Though no orders may solnd and no drum.taps

Behind these intrsnchments 70 once moro are
