The white'headed old man, old and wrInkled
and burdened with to weight Of 10 years, rose In
his seat, looked around him and quietly began
"If dar am no God den dar am no fuchur.

give us song p the soldier cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns Of the camp allied
Grow weary Of bombarding.
The dark Redan, In silent soon,
Lay grim and threatening, under,
And the tawney mound Of the Malakeff
No longer belched Its thunder.
There was pause. A guardman said:
I'VE storm the forts tomorrow;
Sing while we may, another day
WIN bring enough Of sorrow.n
They lay along the bRttery's side,
Below the smoking cannon;
Brave hearts from Severn and the Clyde,
And from the Shannon.
They sang Of love and not Of fame,
Forgot was BrItsin's glory;
E ch heart recalled different name.
But all sang Annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until It's tender passion
Rose like an anthem; rich and strong,
Their battle eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak,
But as the song grew louder.

Washed of the stains Of powder.
Beyond the darkenIng ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crlmean valleys learned
How British love remembers.
And once again fire of hell
Ralned on the Russian quarters,
With scream Of shot and burst Of shell,
And believing of the mortars.
And Irish Nora's eyes are dim
For singer dumb and CORY;
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang Of "Annie Laurie"
Sleep, soldiers still IA honored rest
Your truth and valor wearing;
The bravest are the tenderest-
The loving are the daring,

Roofing a Branch.

method of roofing limb or branch too

surround the ring with ball OF rich
earth, over which suspend vessel of
water, Let the vessel be so pierced
that the water will escape drop by drop
and fall upon the ball of earth; keep
the vessel supplied with water until the
branch has rooted, which will be in the
autumn, II the work was done in the
spring. Then cut the new plant from
the old branch just below tho ball and
transplant. In this menner the Chi

70 make this work more certain of
good results, bear In mipd that the ball
OF earth must not be kept wet, but only
moist, and Il single drop OF water every
minute would keep moist ball OF
earth as large as q mans head, even In
dry weather. The puncture in the ves-
sci, therefore, must be very small, only
leak. The ball of earth should be
proportloned to the size of the branch
to be rooted; but no ball, we shouid
say, smaller than four on six inche,i in
diameter The ball may bo iaads by
