FROM ne b01dnoreltn-l
Lightly res. the turf above theei
No Drawer heart fhan thine
Fer passed through deaths cold portals
To bask IN light divine
So sleep the brave. SO softly sleep.
The South mour1ls Gilnor-dead.
And southerneyes Win gently weep
Above the laureled head
Nomore thy sword waves for the right,
No more thy clarion voice
Rings out above the din Of fight,
AMI bids thy men rejoice
The last charge made, the last fight won;
Now rest and peace at hsne-
The plaudit hear= well dorei wen done
Rest nOw-no more to roam"
And from thy grave the flowers fair,
OF faith and hope shall springs
And from thy HE the lesson rare:
Courage doth honor bring"

longevity of Wild Animals.

Two hippopOtamuses have recently
died in the London Geological garden.
One was twenty-seven years in CON
fnement, the other thirty, but Of
course their actual age can never be
known Indeed, it is difficult to tell
whether the wild animal lives as long
rs the domestic one. At one time the
test was the length of time required
to reach maturity, which, it was
assumed, bore a certain proportion to
the life of the creature. But this
does not hold good with even the
larger mammalia; for a horse, assum-
ing it to be mature at four years, will
live to five or six "maturities,' while
man, presuming him to be mature at
twenty, rarely reaches four. Dogs
enjoy greater proportional longevity
than mankind, and a cats Life is pro
verbally tenacious. 1t cannot be
proved that even wild animals have
their lives shortened by confinement.
Indeed it is reasonable to suppose that
the care given to animals in menage-
ries prolongs their existence. The
civilized man certainly lives longer
than the savage, who is exposed to the
hardships and vieissitudes of a rough
outdoor existence.
