A Garland for the Dead.

Dumb be the bugle and the drum,
And light the footsteps DER the bravei
IT'S not in festal thrOng we come,
With lips that laugh and piUmes that wave
Love writes his elegy with flowers.
When May drops down the rolling year,
And lightly leads her choral train,
We turn with loving homage here,
To strew these tokens DER the slain
Ger those who persisted when the tide
Of wild war swept the country wide.
Each rounded fortress at our feet
Enwraps a hero's patriot fire;
Long since that heart has ceased to beat.
That valiant spirit to aspire.
No saber's clang nor cauHOD's roar
Shall break the warriors slumber more.
Among the tombs we idly strsy,
Our souls with mOurnfUi mem ries rife,
Till almost in the glare of day
Those wasted comrades spring to life;
And here, amidst the field aad flowers,
We seem TO clasp dead hands in ours.
Nor here alone does Memory trace
Her sable lines of dumb despair;
On many distant battleplace
Their eyeieSs sockets upward stare,
Where never weeping kindred come
With Blended head and mGifled drum.
They sleep beside the Tennessee,
By ponelson's old ruined fort;
In Shermans pathway TO the sea,
The pale battalions hold their court;
IL,
They answer 20 the death-roll STILL
On Mission Ridge the wild birds chant
Above the gray blouse and the blue,
And where the gallant hosts Of Grant
Stormed Viclssburg there che dead are, too
Their records. writ with shot and she'll,
Show how they fought and how they fell
They rest by Iibby's ruined pile.
From Georgia's hell their wraiths arise:
They sleep beside the dark Belle Isle
And meath the Carolina skies
A shadowy band and dcsolate,
Whose grave no hand may decorate.
By dim lagoons where serpents trail
And seldom human footsteps pass,
Their bones are whitening in the gale
And glistening in the tangled grass-
Their guns still mould ring in their grasp,
The friends that felt their parting clasp.
Brave hearts! The flowers We pluck to-day
And wreath among the fragrant sod
Are, as the lives we cast away
In war, for Manhood, Truth and God
The eInbIenls of r love, we trust,
To live when dust returns to dust.
And now, with snowy pinions spread,
From frozen seas TO tropie strands,
Sweet Peace, with olives round her head,
Again flies DER the laughing lands,
And in the ancient fields of strife
She sows the lly-bells of life.
A thousand summers yet shall pass,
A thousand winters sift their snow,
And bearded Time shall break his glass,
And War his trumpet cease 70 blow.
Ere Honors clarion notes expire
And Freedom quench her yestal dre.
The pyramids by Cheops built
At length shall crumble and decay;
But never blood for Freedom split
The tears of heaven shall wash away;
A sacred symbol shall il be
OF those who died for Liberty.

A Pretty Poem OF The War.
by r. II. stoddqTd-l

] walked the streets at midnight,
But my thoughts were far away,
For my leaf Of light, now withered,
Was green again with May,
The snow Of twenty winters
Had vanished from nay brow,
And Cah me looked forward,
As looked backward now.
Why should ] not look forwardf
knew my soul was strong,
j knew there was within me
The might there Is in song.
Ny heart was light and friendly;
j loved my feilow-men,
And loved-how much my comrades,
For / had comrades then.
Where are those dear old fellows?
All whittier have they flown?
asked myself al midnight,
As walked the streets alone.
There was Fritz, the Irish singer.
And Fred, the tender heart,
And Harry, who lived for woman,
And Tom, who lived for art.
Poor Fritz's song Is over,
And the heart Of Fred il still;
One went down AZ Yorktown,
The other at Malvern Bill.
Wrapped in the blue they fought in,
They buried them where they lay;
And elsewhere Tom and Harry,
Who wore, poor lads! the gray.
As walked the streets at midnight,
And remembered the awful years
That snatched my comrades from me,
My eyes were filed with tears.
Thought Of bloody battles,
d. a. IL.
Had met and killed each other,
For wearing blue and gray.
ofhappy homes that were darkened,
OF hearihs that were desolate,
or tender hearts that were broken,
OF love that Was turned 20 hate.

And dropped tear ior Fred.

And they were in the green,)
pitied my dead no longer;
1 did not care TO. No.
They went when they were summoned
Before, they could lot go.
When we know what life and death are,
We shall then know what is best;
Meanwhile we live and labor
Their labor done. they rest.
The earth lies heavy on them.
But they do not complain;
They DO not miss the sunshine.
They do not feel the rain.
1fthey arc ever conscious,
In that long sleep of theirs,
1T Is when, past the winter,
We feel the Brst spring airs.
When the birds from tropic countries
Come back again 10 ours
And where Of late were snow drifts.
The grass Is thick with flowers
Such flowers as viii tomorrow

The blue and gray together,
Beneath the same sweet sky.

No memory Of the past

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.


send you herewith some leaves from my peach
trees and would be glad to know the cause of
their peculiar appearance or if anything can be
done for them.-W. t., Montgomery county, Md.
Ans. These leaves are badly blistered; the
cause is sudden and extreme changes of tenn
perature. AS the season advances the trouble
viii cease the injured leaves will fall off with
out any serious hurt to the trees. You cannot
do anything for it. 1t may be prevented by
shelter, which, however, is hardly practicable
with large trees.
Has the English hawthorn 30 much used In
Britain as a hedge plant, ever been tried in this
country?-Novlce. Wilmington, Del.
Ans. 1t has been planted in various parts of
the country, but has not been successful. The
leaves of the plants are liable to mildcw, which
weakens the growth In some portions of the
country, for instance in Massachusetts,, we have
seen fairly good hedges of it.

Ans. The plant is specimen of the poa
